IRDAI moots internal insurance ombudsman mechanism for complaints in upto ₹50 lakh claims
Insurance regulator IRDAI is proposing an internal ombudsman mechanism in insurance companies to address complaints involving claims up to ₹50 lakh. It will applicable to all insurers, except reinsurers, who have been in operation for more than three years. The objective is to set up an independent and impartial review mechanism within insurers to address unresolved or escalated complaints in a fair, transparent and time-bound manner, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) said, placing an exposure draft of the Internal Insurance Ombudsman Guidelines, 2025, for public consultation. Insurers may appoint more than one internal insurance ombudsman, with well-defined jurisdiction, to ensure effective coverage and responsiveness. The draft guidelines stipulates eligibility criteria, tenure, independence, role and responsibilities and remuneration structure along with general principles to be followed by the internal ombudsman. Towards strong governance and oversight, it is proposed that the internal insurance ombudsman will functionally report to the Board or its Policyholder Protection, Grievance Redressal and Claims Monitoring Committee, with administrative reporting to the MD/CEO. By institutionalising such an internal but independent mechanism, it sought to further improve quality of grievance handling and enhancing overall consumer confidence in the insurance sector, IRDAI said. The guidelines will come into force after three months from the date of issue. The internal ombudsman will consider complaints to which the insurer has not responded within 30 days of the receipt; or the partly or wholly rejected complaints on which the complainants preferred an appeal. Customers not satisfied with the decision of the internal ombudsman can within 30 days, of the decision, prefer an appeal before the Insurance Ombudsman. IRDAI's proposal represents a significant shift in existing in-house grievance redressal structures to a more independent decision governing body. This is a progressive step, Bharti AXA Life Insurance MD and CEO Parag Raja said, welcoming the move. This will further create a shift from the current complaint management mechanism to fairer disposal of cases providing customers one more layer to appeal and the insurer a fair third-party view. It will reduce the burden on the external ombudsman. Bharti AXA Life was among among the first few to appoint an internal insurance ombudsman, he said.

Badho Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Unveils Revolutionary Platform to Fix India's Broken FMCG Distribution
VMPL New Delhi [India], July 24: In a bold move to reform India's outdated FMCG supply chain, Badho Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has announced a major breakthrough with the nationwide rollout of its flagship platform the Badho App designed to fix what industry veterans have long accepted as "normal chaos." Badho Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has quickly emerged as one of India's most disruptive startups in the B2B and retail-tech space, tackling challenges rooted deep in India's ₹30 lakh crore general trade economy. "Everyone knows the problem. We just decided to solve it," said a company spokesperson. A Development That's Redefining General Trade The recent development marks a major milestone for the company. After months of fieldwork, iteration, and pilot testing, Badho Technologies has launched a robust tech platform that directly connects kirana retailers with FMCG brands and distributors solving delays, credit bottlenecks, stock visibility gaps, and communication breakdowns in one go. Currently active across: - 11 states - 600+ cities - 1,000+ pincodes the platform is now gearing up for a pan-India expansion, making it one of the most rapidly scaling innovations in rural and semi-urban India. Built by Insiders, Not Observers What makes this development at Badho Technologies so significant is the company's DNA. Unlike other B2B platforms trying to replace the middleman, Badho App is built by people who grew up in India's mandi culture, who understand the language of dukandaars and the pain of blocked credit during peak seasons. "Our solution doesn't come from a spreadsheet it comes from the ground," says one of the founding team members. The Platform: Intelligence That Feels Natural The newly unveiled Badho App is a mobile-first B2B solution that enables: - Retailers to place direct orders from both brands and nearby distributors - Distributors to access real-time credit tools, inventory control, and sales insights - Brands to run hyperlocal, targeted campaigns and promotions - Retailers to receive instant credit, pricing updates, and scheme alerts Powered by analytics on 16 lakh+ retailers, the platform helps stakeholders see what's working where, from Rajasthan to Kerala, and dynamically adjust operations in real-time. Innovative Add-Ons Launched by Badho Technologies One of the standout innovations revealed as part of this latest development is the POS SoundBox Integration, allowing brands to play their own audio jingles every time a retailer receives a payment. This feature turns every transaction into a branding opportunity, increasing visibility and recall at the exact moment of purchase. Additional tools launched include: - Retailer engagement via gamified contests - Custom brand pages with campaign visibility - Real-time distributor performance dashboards A Human-Centric Model That Includes Distributors Unlike other platforms aiming to remove intermediaries, Badho App has taken a partnership-first approach. "Distributors are not the problem. They're the backbone," says the operations team. "We're giving them the tools, credit access, and market intelligence they never had." With this tech-enabled uplift, distributors become strategic partners, not logistical liabilities. Sustainable Growth Without Shortcuts The most notable part of this development is Badho App commitment to sustainable scaling. No discounts, no deep-burn cashbacks, and no forced onboarding. The company has expanded from 1 city to 600+ purely through product merit and word-of-mouth adoption. Now present in categories like: - FMCG (snacks, oil, flour, spices) - Agri-inputs (animal feed, seeds, fertilizers) - Personal Care and Essentials Badho App is emerging as the platform of choice for both established and emerging brands looking to build strong, direct retail networks. What This Means for India's Retail Future This development positions Badho App at the forefront of India's retail-tech transformation. With thousands of monthly transacting retailers and a powerful combination of credit, tech, and marketing tools, Badho App is not just digitizing the last mile it's reconstructing it from the ground up. If Your Brand Isn't Growing at the Store Level, It Might Be Time to Ask: - Are your listed products actually visible in kirana stores? - Are your schemes being communicated and activated at the retailer's end? - Are your competitors outperforming you in markets you thought you owned? Badho Technologies believes the answer lies in rethinking channel distribution. And with this latest rollout, it invites brands, distributors, and retailers to be a part of this movement. "If you want to win in Tier 2 to Tier 4 India," the company says, "this is not a trial market this is the market."
