Managing insurance can often feel overwhelming—multiple policies, renewal reminders, paper documents, claim procedures, and scattered information. With the push toward digitalization in India, policyholders now have access to a secure, centralized, and government-approved digital solution that simplifies insurance like never before: the Electronic Insurance Account (eIA).

Centrico Insurance Repository Limited (CIRL), a licensed insurance repository regulated by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), provides seamless digital insurance services to help you manage your entire insurance portfolio at your fingertips.

What Is an Electronic Insurance Account (eIA)?

An Electronic Insurance Account (eIA) is a centralized digital repository where policyholders can store, manage, and access all their insurance policies electronically. Whether you have life insurance, health insurance, motor insurance, or multiple policies across different insurers, an eIA brings them all together into one secure digital account.

Approved by IRDAI and managed by authorized insurance repositories like CIRL, an eIA eliminates the need for physical documents while ensuring complete data security, easy accessibility, and a streamlined policy experience.

Why eIA Is Becoming Essential for Policyholders

In today’s digital-first world, consumers expect convenience, speed, and security in all services. The same applies to insurance. Here are the major reasons why more and more people are opting for a digital insurance account:

1. No More Lost or Damaged Documents

Paper policies are prone to wear and tear, damage, or misplacement. An eIA provides a paperless, permanent, and secure storage solution accessible anytime.

2. Hassle-Free Policy Management

Tracking renewal dates, policy terms, premiums, and maintaining multiple physical files is difficult. A single digital account makes policy management simple and organized.

3. Faster Claims Processing

One of the biggest advantages of eIA is during claims. Since all policy data is readily available digitally, your nominee can access it quickly, reducing delays and confusion.

4. Automatic Policy Updates

Any changes made by insurers—like updates in contact details, nominee information, or policy status—automatically reflect in your account.

5. Simplified Servicing

An eIA allows you to update your personal details, KYC, and other information without visiting insurers physically.

6. Eco-Friendly and Cost-Free

Digital policies reduce paper usage and support an eco-friendly ecosystem. Even better—opening and maintaining an eIA is completely FREE.

How to Open an Electronic Insurance Account (eIA)

Opening an eIA is simple, quick, and entirely online. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Fill Basic Details

Provide your basic personal information such as name, DOB, and identity details.

2. Verify Contact Information

Confirm your mobile number and email ID to ensure accuracy and future communication.

3. Complete e-KYC

Your identity is verified digitally through a seamless e-KYC process.

4. Get Your eIA Number

Once verified, you receive a unique eIA number, which becomes your digital insurance identity.

5. Map Your Policies

Link all your existing insurance policies—life, health, motor, or others—to complete your digital insurance portfolio.
