    GST exemption could take a toll on insurers’ health

    August 23, 2025 - By 

    MUMBAI: Exempting life and health insurance premiums from the Goods and Services Tax (GST) could leave policyholders paying less, but the move may also squeeze insurers’ margins and prompt them to rework pricing. A group of ministers has recommended entirely removing the current 18% GST on insurance. At first glance, this appears to be a direct saving for customers. But industry executives caution that insurers will lose input tax credit (ITC) on expenses such as commissions, rent, power, and telecom bills, which currently offset a part of their tax outgo. In protection products, commissions initially range between 35% and 40%…
