Regulator Irdai proposes to ban 'dark patterns' on insurance websites - Regulators - 3 min read Regulator Irdai proposes to ban 'dark patterns' on insurance websites The Expense of Management (EoM) framework is proposed to be recalibrated through lower limits with a phased glide path, the paper said. New Delhi, Regulator Irdai on Wednesday proposed prohibiting 'dark patterns' on insurance websites, including practices that require customers to provide personal details to access product features and pricing information. As part of wide-ranging reforms aimed at making insurance distribution more transparent and customer-centric, Irdai has issued a consultation paper on 'Recalibrating Economics of Insurance Distribution', setting out a comprehensive framework of reforms covering insurance distribution, its structure, expenses, commissions, market conduct, transparency and leveraging digital infrastructure. The Expense of Management (EoM) framework is proposed to be recalibrated through lower limits with a phased glide path, the paper said. For life insurers, the EoM limit would move to a company-level basis linked to Gross Direct Premium Income (GDPI), with the limit proposed at 15 within two years and 12.5 within five years. For general insurers, the basis would shift from gross written premium (GWP) to domestic GDPI, with the EoM limit reducing from 30 per cent of GWP to 20 per cent of GDPI within five years, also through progressive annual reductions.

Amazon, Zepto & 3 other platforms face FSSAI's penal action over misleading claims: Which products did it flag?

Amazon, Zepto & 3 other platforms face FSSAI's penal action over misleading claims: Which products did it flag? The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Wednesday said it took regulatory action against five major e-commerce platforms — Amazon, Swiggy Instamart, BigBasket, Flipkart India and Zepto, over alleged violations of food safety rules, including misleading claims and the sale of restricted products. In a social media post, the food regulator said it had launched a "major crackdown on e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Swiggy, BigBasket, Flipkart India and Zepto over regulatory non-compliances". According to FSSAI, the violations included misbranding and potentially misleading representations, along with the sale and listing of prohibited or poisonous food products. The regulator said penal proceedings had been initiated against Amazon, Flipkart India, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto and BigBasket over allegedly misleading claims associated with the food product ‘Happilo Premium Date Bites - Zesty Orange’. FSSAI said it has also initiated proceedings against Swiggy Instamart and BigBasket over misleading claims and non-compliant information displayed for certain Milky Mist dairy products. The products identified by the regulator are 'Milky Mist Fresh Low Fat Cream, Milky Mist Farm Fresh Curd, and Milky Mist Greek Yoghurt'. The food regulator further found Amazon Seller Services, Swiggy Instamart and BigBasket in violation of relevant provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, concerning the sale, listing and offering for sale of the food product 'Datura (Dhatura) fruits/seeds' through e-commerce platforms.
