IGMS

Bima Bharosa System 

To enable effective monitoring of Policyholder protection Regulations and Grievance Guidelines and Turn around times thereby mandated, as well as to create a central repository of industry-wide insurance grievances’ data, IRDAI has implemented the Bima Bharosa (an Integrated Grievance Management System earlier known as IGMS). Bima Bharosa  Portal provides a gateway to register complaints with insurance companies and track their status. It uses Web interface to ensure that it is accessible at all places and is on real time. It has also a mechanism to capture complaints received in physical as well as email form or voice calls received by IRDAI Grievance Call centre (IGCC).

IRDAI Grievance Call Centre (IGCC)  can be accessed through  a toll free number 1800 4254 732 / 155255 for voice calls and complaints@irdai.gov.in through e-mail. The IGCC also provides details of the redressal systems of insurance companies whenever policyholders require them. Further, the IGCC also educates policyholders about the Insurance Ombudsman who provides a channel for fair disposal of complaints falling within the jurisdiction laid down.
