IRDAI slaps ₹1 crore penalty on Edelweiss Life Insurance
Insurance regulator IRDAI has imposed a penalty of ₹1 crore on Edelweiss Life Insurance Company for violations of certain corporate governance guidelines. Insurers must avoid or mitigate any conflicts of interest while outsourcing. Insurer is responsible for all regulatory obligations and conducting proper due diligence and monitoring of the outsourced service provider. Adequate systems, policies and procedures to address potential conflicts of interest and compliance with the provisions of Companies Act, 2013 need to be established by the insurer, IRDAI said in its order. On another charge that the life insurer did not capture bank account details of policyholders at proposal stage where premium amount exceeds ₹10,000, IRDAI the cautioned the insurer for the lapse in the wake of the company's submission that preventive and corrective actions were taken. Stating the insurer's contention that the bank details of the policy holders are not required is not acceptable, the regulator directed Edelweiss Life to take all required details of the bank account of the proposer/insured in the proposal form at the proposal stage itself. Any failure in compliance in future will be viewed seriously, it said.

IDFC FIRST Bank Enables UPI for NRIs in 12 Countries Using International Numbers
Mumbai: In a move to ease digital transactions for overseas Indians, IDFC FIRST Bank has enabled its NRI customers in 12 countries to make UPI payments using their international mobile numbers. The feature, launched on Tuesday, allows real-time, INR-denominated payments directly from NRE or NRO accounts through the bank's mobile app or any UPI-enabled platform, without the need for an Indian SIM card or incurring transaction fees. The facility is available to IDFC FIRST Bank customers residing in Australia, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, UAE, UK, and the US. NRIs can send and receive money using UPI IDs, QR codes, or mobile numbers, making everyday financial transactions like bill payments and fund transfers quicker and more convenient. 'This service empowers our NRI customers to transact in India with the same ease as domestic users,' said Ashish Singh, head – retail liabilities at IDFC FIRST Bank. 'Our aim is to simplify banking, regardless of geography.' This development comes after the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) issued a circular in Jan 2023 allowing UPI access for NRIs using international mobile numbers. Member banks were mandated to implement the feature by Apr 30, 2023. Initially, the facility was permitted in 10 countries including the US, UK, Singapore, and UAE, later expanding to include others like France and Malaysia. T he accounts used must be KYC-compliant, and all transactions must follow RBI and FEMA regulations. Banks are also responsible for conducting anti-money laundering and compliance checks. With this move, IDFC FIRST Bank joins other major banks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, and Federal Bank in rolling out UPI access for NRIs. The facility eliminates the need for NRIs to retain an Indian mobile number, significantly lowering the cost and complexity of managing finances from abroad. This initiative is part of the bank's broader digital-first approach, which has helped it grow its customer base to 35.5 million. The bank's mobile app, which ranks among the top globally for customer experience, plays a key role in delivering secure, seamless digital banking services to users worldwide.
