India's insurance regulator may cap distributor commissions as early as January 2027

The Economic Times, citing Bloomberg News, reports that India’s insurance regulator is considering January 1 or April 1, 2027, for an overhaul of insurance distribution rules. The proposals would cap commissions paid to brokers and other distributors across most insurance categories and phase in tighter limits on insurers’ management expenses over five years. After comments close on October 25, 2026, draft regulations would undergo another feedback round.
