MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI PAWAN KUMAR BANSAL)
(a) to (c): Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has reported that there
is no move to increase the insurance premium rates on vehicles including cars by the Tariff
Advisory Committee (TAC), a statutory body established under the Insurance Act, 1938,
administering the tariffs on motor vehicles. However, as per the Road Map drawn by the
IRDA, all tariffs are expected to be removed from 1st January, 2007 and the insurance
companies will be free to determine their own premium rates for vehicles.
