Insurance Repository in India

The Insurance Repository in India is a database of insurance policies. It allows policy holders to make revisions to a policy. It launched on 16 September 2013. It is the world's first of its kind.^[1][2]

India's Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority originally issued licenses to five entities to act as Insurance Repositories;^[3] however, SHCIL Projects Limited surrendered its Insurance Repository license in September 2015. The remaining four are:

• CDSL Insurance Repository Limited (CDSL IR)^[4]
• Karvy Insurance Repository Limited^[5]
• National Insurance-policy Repository^[6] by NSDL Database Management Limited
• CAMS Insurance Repository Services Limited^[7]

All such entities must contain the words "Insurance Repository" in their names.
