Key Takeaways
Compare at least 3 health or term insurance quotes on aggregator platforms before renewing — merged platforms with more agents increase competition and can surface better pricing.
Check whether your current policy was sold through a POSP agent; if yes, verify their IRDAI registration number on the IRDAI website to ensure your policy is valid and the agent is licensed.
If you live in a tier-2 or tier-3 city, explore digital insurance platforms now — mergers like this are expanding rural coverage, giving you access to products previously only available in metros.
