The financial institutions now can offer their customer policies with the help of government notifying regulations from the host of life and non insurance companies.

Now banks can easily distribute the policies of multiple insurance policies. Even the foreign owned banks can become insurance brokers.

The bank can sell multiple insurance policies subjected to two conditions. In the first one, bank will have to take clearance from RBI and the desire of the lender to itself become the broker.

The application to allow banks to become insurance agents was first announced by the finance minister in his February 2013 Budget speech.
