In short
IRDAI has extended the deadline for feedback on its proposed distribution reforms to October 31. The proposals include caps on commissions and on expenses of management, and the regulator has already received more than 650 comments.
This matters for insurers and distributors because their pay and costs could change. The report does not say what the final rules will be.
