New Delhi: The Life Insurance Council is working on a plan to digitize the sector, which could mean that life insurance policy holders may no longer need to keep paper records of their policies. The plan needs to be approved by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda) before customers can reap its benefits.
Life Insurance Council, which is a body meant for the development and co-ordination in the life insurance sector, is analyzing the plan and expects to be finalized within a month, reports PTI. "The proposal will be finalised in a month. We are examining the issue. The present system involves a lot of logistics," said S.B. Mathur, the Council's Secretary General.

Demat, or digital format of storing information, will significantly save distribution costs for insurance firms. Two depositories - National Securities Depository (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (India) (CDSL) - together hold and manage accounts in the electronic form or demat accounts. NSDL maintains over one crore demat accounts, while more than 64 lakh accounts are managed by the other depository CDSL.

4: Insurance being a game of documents can be
very well digitalised for ease & accuracy
of documents.
General Insurance can also be digitalised so that "Insurance Data Execution" can be online.
I would be the happiest on this "IDEA" as my freelancing is IDEA-Insurance Data Execution Assistance. You may visit my blogs at http://blogs.siliconindia.com/KrishnaBurli for further details on my IDEA.
Warm regards,
