The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has issued a crucial public warning regarding a fraudulent website that is impersonating the regulator’s official consumer education portal. The fake website — https://policyholdergov.org — is reportedly misusing IRDAI’s official emblem and logos of government agencies such as the Department of Financial Services, india.gov.in, and the Council of Insurance Ombudsman.

According to IRDAI, this fraudulent platform is engaging in unauthorized and deceptive activities, including:

• Attempting to induce policyholders to make premium payments online.

• Collecting personal and sensitive data from unsuspecting visitors.

The regulator has made it clear that IRDAI does not collect any premium, facilitate claim settlements, or engage in financial transactions through its official websites. The sole purpose of its legitimate portal is to educate policyholders, spread insurance awareness, and guide them on their rights and grievance redressal mechanisms.

The general public is strongly advised to avoid engaging with the fraudulent site and to rely only on official IRDAI portals for accurate and verified information.

Cyber frauds in the insurance space are on the rise, and policyholders are urged to stay vigilant, verify URLs carefully, and never share personal or financial information on unverified platforms.
