1.    Instances have come to the notice of the Authority where Surveyors apply for renewal of their license only a few days before the expiry of the same, or after its expiry, thereby causing difficulty in the timely issuance of renewed license and continuity of license.

2.    The Surveyor Regulations prescribe that an application for renewal of Surveyor and Loss Assessor license including online submission of application for renewal shall reach the Authority at least thirty days before the date of expiry of the license. Moreover, applicants are allowed to submit applications for renewal on the BAP portal (www.irdabap.org.in) ninety days prior to the date of expiry of their surveyor license.

3.    In view of this, it is hereby brought to the notice of all concerned, that surveyors shall submit application for renewal of surveyor license online well in advance, at least ninety days prior to the date of expiry, on the aforementioned portal.

4.    A list of surveyors whose licenses are due for renewal in the next three months, as per our records is attached herewith as Annexure.  While this list will be updated at regular intervals and published on IRDAI’s website, it may be noted that IRDAI is under no obligation to issue renewal notification and it is the surveyors responsibility to start the process of renewal of their license, well in advance.
