IRDA tightens advertising norms for life insurers
NEW DELHI: Insurance regulator Irda has tightened advertising norms
for life insurers asking them not to offer any awards or reward points
as inducement to lure customers.
"...in order to enhance the extant transparency of the insurance
advertisements, and to improve compliance...life insurance
advertisements should not offer, as inducement, any award/reward points,
discounts and rebates, except those approved by the Authority as part
of product features," the Insurance Regulatory Authority of India has
said.
Irda said a review of the advertisements, especially Internet advertisements, revealed the necessity to improve the compliance.
Irda also observed a trend of advertisements showing the combination of benefits of more than one product, it said.
It further asked life insurers for a complete disclosure of all related
particulars of an individual product, where more than one product and
combination of their benefits were being offered in a single
advertisement.

E-mail policy for govt staff likely in two months
NEW DELHI: In order to safeguard critical data, government is likely to come out with an e-mail policy in two months to ensure that all its employees use only official service for communication."We are coming up with an e-mail policy, which regulates uses of e-mail by all the government employees who are accessing government infrastructure (the NIC facility)... the draft has been made ready and we are going for inter ministerial consultation very soon," Department of Electronics and Information Technology(DEITY) Secretary J Satyanarayana said here.
He said the policy will address the security concerns related to communications and data.
Apart from this, government is also working on an Internet usage policy, which regulates the use of Internet by government officials.
"... there is also an acceptable Internet usage policy... in the government environment, we need to ensure that the Internet is not misused, so to prevent misuse of Internet, we have come up with this complementary policy," he said.
Asked if the government is looking to ban the use of Gmail and Yahoo by government staff once the policy is put in place, Satyanarayana said these things will be sorted out but the officials will have to communicate through the nic.in platform.
The government will send a formal notification after the policy is implemented in about two months, covering about 5-6 lakh Central and State government employees to use the email service provided by National Informatics Centre (NIC).
The development comes close on the heels of concerns being raised by a section in the government, especially intelligence agencies, over use of email services, provided by foreign firms (mostly US-based), which have their servers located in overseas locations, making it difficult to track if sensitive government data is being snooped upon.

5: This bill would also provide subscribers a wide choice to invest their funds including for assured returns by opting for government bonds etc as well as in other funds depending on their capacity to take risk.
6: The passage of the bill could see pure pension products coming into the market. At present most of the pure pension products available in the market are linked with insurance coverage.
7: In 2005, the government had earlier introduced a pension bill but it lapsed as the Lok Sabha's term got over before the legislation could be passed.
8: The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill 2011 was reintroduced in the Lok Sabha in 2011 by the then finance minister Pranab Mukherjee and it was subsequently referred to a standing committee.

10: The NPS was later opened up to all Indian citizens from 2009 on a voluntary basis.
12: The pension bill could help channelize funds into building long-term assets for the country, including the infrastructure sector. The government wants to ease rules for insurance and pension sectors to allow them to invest in infrastructure, where it is seeking $1 trillion investment till 2017
