Managing general agent eligibility in IFSC turns on licensing, foreign insurer compliance, and anti-risk-jurisdiction safeguards. Eligibility to establish a branch in the IFSC as a managing general agent is restricted to applicants with a valid home-country registration or licence for MGA-like activities, cross-border recognition, and no-objection from the home regulator, or otherwise to entities incorporated in the IFSC under the Companies Act, 2013. The applicant must have a written contract with a foreign insurer for direct insurance business and must satisfy prescribed conditions relating to the insurer's licence, compliance record, net worth, credit rating, tax treaty registration, board undertaking, disclosure obligations, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
