e-Insurance Account

 

What is eInsurance

Insurance in India has gone digital. Through insurance repository you can keep all your insurance policy documents in an de-materialized form. Similar to stocks, mutual funds, and bonds which are kept in demat account, you can also keep all your insurance policy documents  in electronic form through one repository system. i.e. these repositories will act as a single point of service.
