Dear All,

IRDAI has decided to include 4 chapters on Health Insurance in the syllabus of IC 33(Life) and IC 34(General) and the revised syllabus will be in place with effect from 01.07.2015.Consequently, candidates who have qualified in IC-33 shall henceforth be eligible to be appointed by Life Insurers and Stand alone Health Insurers since IC 33 is now designed to equip the candidates in the concepts of Life Insurance and Health Insurance and candidates who have qualified in IC-34 shall henceforth be eligible to be appointed by General Insurers and Stand alone Health Insurers since IC 34 is now designed to equip the candidates in the concepts of General Insurance and Health Insurance. 

IRDAI will also be prescribing new syllabus for IC 32(Health Insurance) from 01.07.2015 and candidates who pass the examination will be eligible for appointment as Agent of Standalone Health Insurer. 

From the above instructions of IRDAI, it is clear that with effect from 01.07.2015 we can appoint as our Agents applicants who have passed the revised IC 33 and IC 34 examinations before expiry of 12 months from the date of passing. But if a candidate wants to be an Agent of Standalone Health Insurance Company only, he has to pass the new IC32 exam.

Till 30.06.2015, we can appoint applicants who have passed either IC33 or IC34 within a period of 12months and in possession of the respective exam pass certificate or score card where date of passing examination and marks obtained are available. Otherwise, he has to compulsorily pass the the existing IC 33 or IC 34 exams.
