In protection products, commissions initially range between 35% and 40% before tapering off, averaging about 5-6% over time. On top of this, insurers incur about 10% in other expenses. Currently, service tax of around 2% on such costs is offset through input tax credits. If GST exemptions remove that credit, insurers will have to bear the additional expense.
