Thinking about starting your own insurance brokerage? One of the first things you’ll want to know is the cost of an insurance broker license in India.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) sets specific capital and compliance requirements for every applicant. The actual cost depends on the type of broker license you choose:
Direct Broker: ₹75 lakh minimum capital
Reinsurance Broker: ₹4 crore
Composite Broker: ₹5 crore
In addition to capital, you’ll need to plan for office setup, staff training, registration fees, and compliance expenses. These costs ensure your brokerage meets IRDAI’s professional standards.
