SBI Life Insurance has been instructed by the Indian Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irdai) to absorb the liabilities of 200,000 policies plus the assets of Sahara India Life Insurance due to SILIC's failing financial health. The three-member committee has been created to implement the order. SBI Life has already begun complying with the order, however, proper integration of policies will take time, according to a company spokesperson. SILIC was appointed an administrator by Irdai in 2017 due to issues regarding the financial propriety and governance and it has subsequently failed to match regulatory requirements.
