Thanks.  A GENERAL INSURANCE company wants its agents to use their portal and issue motor policies.  This it does without giving them a formal letter of authority.   The  agent asks  for an authority letter.  The company is hesitant to issue a letter.    Will it be in order for the agent to issue policies without an authority letter under the seal of the company?

insurance company has power to appoint Agent in its memorandum n article.

 

but then also authority letter is needed by the agent .(letter of appointment as an agent is must otherwise u cannot issue policy )

 

is there any communication proof in writing, telling u that u can issue the policy.??

Hi, I am new to the site, so please bear with me - do you know what to do if an insurance firm is refusing to pay up claim amoun - They have no basis as per my beliefs and record.

 

Thanks alot for the help already

Also forgot to answer ur question - agents cant issue policy stricly, but he is most likely following a lead generation plan wherein he will pass on the lead to an authorised agent of the company. You are better of going with an authorized agent in the first place anyways...

Regards
