Feature Summary
We’re excited to introduce the Pay In Master feature, the easiest way to streamline brokerage calculations. This feature is designed to automate the calculation of brokerage receivables based on multiple parameters, including insurer, product, date range, and custom conditions.
With Pay In Master, setting up specific rules for each insurer, product type, or unique condition is straightforward. This allows you to ensure accurate and efficient calculations tailored to each scenario. Whether you need insurer-specific rules, product-focused settings, or customized conditions, Pay In Master simplifies the process, saving time and boosting accuracy.
Why now?
The 2023 Commission Regulations introduce a more flexible and unbundled approach to commission payments, removing the caps imposed by the previous framework. This allows insurers to pay higher commissions as they see fit. The regulations also eliminate the previous distinctions between commissions, remuneration, and rewards, simplifying the payment structure and giving insurers more flexibility to incentivize and reward intermediaries.
Additionally, the new regulations treat all insurance intermediaries equally by merging the concept of rewards with commissions. Corporate agents, like banks, are no longer subject to restrictions based on revenue from non-insurance activities. Insurers must still implement a board-approved policy to regulate commission limits, guided by a note issued by the IRDAI on 31 March 2023, which outlines key principles for these policies.
That’s why we introduced this new feature. Pay In Master helps you define brokerage receivable auto calculation rules based on various parameters like Insurer, Product, Date Range, and Custom Conditions.
Pre-requisites
Before defining the PayIn rules, ensure you have the insurer’s grid prepared. Additionally, you must have Master access at User Master to gain entry to the Pay In Master, where you can add and edit PayIn rules. If you are an admin, you can configure these settings by navigating to Settings > Policy > Pay In Master. It’s also important to be well-versed in the concepts of Policy Custom Fields to effectively manage these rules.

For example, the Insurance company ICICI Lombard may say that for Private Car Policies issued in July 2023, they will pay 30% of the Net Premium. For Private Car Policies issued in August 2023, the insurer will pay 27% of the Net Premium.
