Role you're checking

General Insurance Agent

Sales

General Insurance (non-life insurance) Agents in India sell health, motor, fire, marine, and travel insurance products to individuals, families, and businesses. The market is led by PSU giants like New India Assurance and United India Insurance alongside private players — Bajaj Allianz GI, ICICI Lombard, HDFC ERGO, Reliance General, and Tata AIG. Entry requires an IRDAI agent licence identical in process to the life insurance route: 50-hour mandatory training followed by the NISM-administered IRDAI Licensing Examination. Compensation is commission-based: 10-15% of first-year premium on most products, dropping to 5-7% on renewals — lower rates than life insurance but offset by annual renewals on motor and health policies that provide predictable repeat income. The post-COVID surge in health insurance demand (standalone health insurer premiums grew 25%+ YoY in FY24) and rising motor insurance penetration driven by new-vehicle sales make this one of the fastest-growing retail distribution segments in Indian BFSI.
