Earlier, Chiranjibi Chapagain, Chairman of IB also requested the related companies to refrain from using the term such as free insurance.

As per the board, the term used by various BFIs and insurance companies in their promotional content might have a negative impact on the overall insurance sector. Moreover, any company that uses insurance product in a promotional content must reveal the name of the insurance company as well.
