b) The Checklist is required to be signed by the Corporate Compliance Officer of the insurance company (also designated as the Corporate Designated Person of the insurer).

c) The scanned copy (in .pdf document) of the Checklist is required to be emailed for processing to the IRDA at corp.agent@irda.gov.in.

d) The relevant supporting documents in respect of the Checklist are required to be maintained at the Corporate/ Head Office of the insurance company. Such documents shall also be made available to the IRDA as and when required for inspection.

e) The IRDA shall intimate its decision of approval or otherwise within seven working days of the receipt of the Checklist.

f) The Corporate Designated Person shall issue any fresh corporate agency license or renew an existing license only after obtaining the prior approval of the IRDA.
