“We received our licence to be a broker for which we have been in touch with the regulator for the last three years,” PolicyBazaar.com CEO Yashish Dahiya said.

The broking licence will allow the company to venture into segments like claims assistance, offline services, and establish points of presence network.

From a revenue perspective, he said, “as a web aggregator we were not paid for life insurance renewals.”

As a broker, he said, the company will be entitled for commission as well as fee for web aggregation.
