What is an E-Insurance Account?

An E-Insurance Account (eIA) is a digital platform set up by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) to help you manage all your insurance policies in one place. It stores policies like life, health, motor, and others in a secure digital format.

 This means no more paperwork, less chance of losing or misplacing your policies, and you can access them anytime and anywhere with just a few clicks.
