The insurance sector in India presents\u2002various attractive career prospects for people willing to work hard and make a good living. This could be through a new avenue, like becoming a Point of\u2002Sales Person (POSP) agent. POSP provides a person an opportunity to start a business of his own selling insurance products, helping their community and earning a good side income as well. And the best part is that as a POSP insurance agent, you are your own boss and have complete flexibility to decide when to work and how to work. In this article, we will give you a brief introduction to what is POSP opportunity.

What Does a POSP Agent Do?<\/span><\/p>

POSP agents are insurance sales representative who are licensed to\u2002sell certain insurance products. POSP agents can initiate their\u2002careers with much lower prerequisites in terms of educational and training qualifications as compared to traditional insurance agents. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has mandated that one has to undergo a\u200215-hour training program to become a POSP agent, which makes it available to a larger audience.<\/p>

How are POSP Agents Different from Traditional\u2002Insurance Agents?<\/span><\/p>

Both POSP agents and traditional insurance agents are out there to help\u2002their clients with acquiring insurance solutions. Still, a few differences lay between the two:<\/p>

  1. Training:- Regular insurance agents need to go through 25 hours of training, but POSP agents can start working after completing 15\u2002hours of training.<\/p><\/li>

  2. Simple Products: Traditional agents can sell diverse nsurance products, including complex\u2002and customizable policies. By contrast, POSP agents can only sell\u2002simple, pre-underwritten insurance products. <\/p><\/li>

  3. Pos Agent exam: The exam\u2002for traditional agents is conducted by the IRDAI, whereas POSP agents are assessed by individual insurance companies. <\/p><\/li><\/ol>

    What type of products can a POSP agent sell?<\/span><\/p>

    POSP agents\u2002are allowed to sell simple insurance products, such as:<\/p>

    1. General Life Insurance: Offers basic term life insurance policies that provide financial security to the beneficiaries\u2002when the policyholder passes.<\/li>
    2. Health Insurance products:\u2002covering medical expenses, hospitalization cost, critical illness coverage.<\/li>
    3. Motor Insurance: Insurance\u2002covering vehicles, including third-party liability and full coverage.<\/li>

    4. Travel Insurance: Policies that cover trip cancellations, medical emergencies abroad and other travel-related mishaps.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      It\u2019s worth mentioning that while POSP agents can sell these products, they are generally confined to simple plans with limited options for customization. If the customer wants products to cover their specific issues, they will need to get in touch with the regulator. <\/p>
