India bans forced insurance bundling with loans starting July 2026 to stop mis-selling.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman warned Indian banks against mis-selling financial products like insurance, calling it a punishable offense under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
She urged banks to refocus on core functions such as deposit mobilization and lending, criticizing aggressive sales practices, especially bundling insurance with home loans when customers already have coverage.
Sitharaman welcomed the Reserve Bank of India’s draft guidelines, which prohibit compulsory bundling, misleading marketing, and selling unsuitable products, requiring full refunds and compensation if mis-selling is proven.
The rules, set to take effect July 1, 2026, apply to banks, NBFCs, and housing finance companies, aiming to close a long-standing regulatory gap between RBI and IRDAI oversight.
