The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) maintains a strict oversight of all intermediaries, including Brokers, Corporate Agents, Web Aggregators, and Marketing Firms. Compliance in this sector involves regular reporting of business volumes, commission earned, and adherence to 'Fit and Proper' norms for principal officers.

Regulatory requirements include the periodic submission of returns on the BAP (Business Analytics Project) portal, maintaining the minimum capital and net worth, and ensuring that all professional indemnity insurances are up to date. As the regulator moves towards more digital and transparent processes, staying updated with the latest circulars is essential for intermediaries to avoid heavy penalties and license suspension.
