What is eInsurance
Insurance in India has gone digital. Through insurance repository you can keep all your insurance policy documents in an de-materialized form. Similar to stocks, mutual funds, and bonds which are kept in demat account, you can also keep all your insurance policy documents in electronic form through one repository system. i.e. these repositories will act as a single point of service.
How to Open e-Insurance Account
Insurance regulatory and development authority (IRDA) has approved following 5 companies who on behalf of insurance companies can manage all the data of policy holders in electronic/demat format:

There are many benefits for eIA account holders as follows:
