Integrated Grievance Management System (IGMS)

It is a gateway for policyholders to register complaints with their insurance companies first. If needed, they can escalate the complaints to IRDAI.

With IGMS you get centralised online access to submit your complaints through email, physical mails and voice calls.

Grievance Redressal Officer

The first step in filing a complaint is to approach the Grievance Redressal Officer (GRO) of your insurance company. The GRO is expected to reply to you within 15 days of filing your complaint and resolve the issue in reasonable time.

If you are not satisfied with the GRO's reply or action, you can go ahead and file a complaint with IRDAI.

How to escalate the complaint to IRDAI?

Login into igms.irda.gov.in and create a profile. You can then file your complaint using your profile. You can file more than one complaint.

The address of the insurance company's branch will be noted while registering the complaint. You will get an email confirmation about the same with IRDAI token number.
Your complaint is traced with this token number.

The progress will show on the insurance company's system as well as IRDAI's repository.
