IRDAI proposes flexible lock-in period for investors in insurance companies

Earlier, the IRDAI prescribed lock-ins based on the age of the insurer, with waivers granted only in extraneous situations. In certain cases, the regulator had waived the lock-in for DHFL General Insurance. In 2020, this company was acquired by Flipkart co-founder and former CEO Sachin Bansal from Kapil Wadhawan-led financial services group Wadhawan Group Capital (WGC) for ₹100 crore as a distressed sale due to the bankruptcy of DHFL.
