According to a note by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), the insurance repository system to be set up by the regulator will be the first of its kind in the world.
IRDA recently said five companies have been given the status of insurance repositories and provided with a licence that will be valid till July 31, 2014.
The five companies are: NSDL Database Management Limited, Central Insurance Repository Limited, SHCIL Projects Limited, CAMS Repository Services Limited and Karvy Insurance Repository Limited.

The repository will issue a unique code number to all policy holders, and policies of those persons will come under that number. It maintains the history of the policy details such as claims, nominees, beneficiaries and other data.
