As of 2022, India had a total of 67 insurance companies, out of which 26 operated in general insurance space and 24 operated in life insurance space. From the rest 5 insurance companies were in health insurance while the remaining 12 were re-insurance companies. The numbers are likely to grow with the increase in insurance penetration in India. As per estimates, India is all set to be the 6th largest insurance market globally by 2032.

While these stats and numbers seem promising, there are certain challenges faced by insurers. This includes spreading awareness of insurance products, particularly in verifying the authenticity of customer information and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. This calls for innovative solutions.

Anur Technologies, a pioneering company in the InsurTech sector, is transforming this process through its innovative Pre-Issuance Video Verification Solution. It not only increases efficiency but also improves customer experience in India.

In this article, we will cover what is Pre-Issuance Video Verification in India and how Anur Technologies helps insurance players with its PIVV solution.

What is Pre-Issuance Video Verification in India?

PIVV is a cloud-based solution that is built to create an integrated experience for policy buyers. It helps them to fully understand the policy details before purchasing the product while insulating the organization from potential mis-sellings.

PIVV helps with :

Ease of understanding

Creates an interactive presentation that can be viewed by the customer on their mobile devices.

i

Seamless process

Ensures that the sales process is seamless with a high level of integration.

Quicker policy issuance

Instant report generation with a rule engine to identify Straight-through Processing (STP) cases for faster issuance of policy.

In India, regulatory bodies like the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) have stringent guidelines in place under circular IRDAI/Life/Cir/Misc/274/11/2020 and IRDAI/Life/Cir/Misc/253/09/2021 to prevent fraud and ensure customer protection.

Insurance companies have to adhere to these regulations which also mention that the Pre-Issuance Verification Process has to be done online. There are also regulations such as the records of PIV having to be stored for three years and at least 3% of the sales should be verified to comply with the regulations.

All these requirements can be tedious for insurance companies with a large customer base and also require trained staff and resources.

To help here, Anur Technologies provides insurance companies with a Pre-Issuance Video Verification solution.
