how to implant IMEI number

45-day deadline for Chinese mobile owners

Bangalore: As per the deadline given by the Department of Telecommunication (DoT), the Chinese made mobile handsets, which do not have genuine International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) numbers, are going dead from Monday midnight.

However, the DoT has given a breather to the mobile handset owners. It has given 45 days time for the Chinese mobile handset users to get genuine IMEI number implanted.

NVS Prasad, who handles Genuine IMEI Implantation (GII) programme for MSAI in Bangalore said that as per the DoT directive, the mobile phones would go dead.

Insurance institute exam

Individuals aspiring to become insurance agents will have to write the qualifying exam on-line. The insurance regulator IRDA is set to scrap the present system of manual exams for prospective insurance agents to curb malpractices, said a senior official.

IRDA’s exam to select insurance agents is conducted by the Insurance Institute of India (III) in 325 centres across the country. Nearly 7-10 lakh individuals write the exam every year. Nearly half of them are selected and given a license to operate as agents.

However, the regulator has been flooded with complaints on malpractices in off-line exams, with allegations of license being given for a “price”. Last year, the IRDA cancelled a clutch of licenses following such complaints.

To streamline online exams, the Insurance Institute of India is being assisted by the NSEiT, a wholly owned subsidiary of National Stock Exchange. By October this year, 100 centres will have online instead of manual exams. The remaining 225 centres will also shift to on-line exams eventually.

“We want to improve the quality of exams and the procedure for licensing of insurance agents as we reckon that well qualified agents are needed to curb mis-selling of insurance products, A Giridhar Executive Director, IRDA told ET.

India has around 35 lakh licensed insurance agents to distribute various products offered by insurers. There are 42 insurers with assets under management of over Rs 9 lakh crore.
