Bima Sugam

Bima Sugam is IRDAI's proposed unified digital marketplace for buying, selling and servicing insurance across all insurers and intermediaries.

Envisaged as a one-stop electronic platform, Bima Sugam aims to let consumers compare and purchase policies, manage e-insurance accounts, file and track claims, and update details across insurers in one place, reducing friction and paperwork. It is a not-for-profit, industry-owned utility under IRDAI's oversight.

Bima Sugam is the linchpin of IRDAI's Bima Trinity, alongside Bima Vistaar (an affordable bundled cover) and Bima Vahak (a grassroots, women-led distribution force). Together they support the regulator's 'Insurance for All by 2047' mission by widening access and improving transparency.
