A legal word used to identify the real owner or owners of a property is title. The most serious danger a homeowner confronts is having his or her property declared unlawful by a competent court in the nation. The insurance regulator, IRDAI, has ordered general insurance firms (excluding stand-alone health insurers) to develop new title insurance products for individual homeowners and allottees, keeping this in mind.
Title insurance is a type of indemnity policy that covers a potential property owner from financial loss due to flaws in the property's title. On September 8, 2021, the IRDAI released title insurance rules in the form of a circular.
According to IRDAI, title insurance should be retroactive in character. What this means is that it will cover not only future lawsuits, but also any previous faults.
The main goals of new title insurance products are to provide coverage to: (a) promoters/developers who prefer to spend as little money on legal defence as possible; and (b) end users, such as allottees/individual buyers/financiers, at the time of possession/handing over of the property unit for future legal suit protection.
As a result, all general insurers are urged to file these products in accordance with the existing product filing standards.
Insurers may also create and file comparable products, taking in mind the policy wording's minimum coverage requirements. To react to the demands of promoters/developers and retail property purchasers, the items may be filed as soon as possible.
