Frequently Asked Questions

1. In some cases, the candidates have started their 6 months training with a senior surveyor either on the date of passing III exam or few days before passing the exam. Can this be considered? 

In such cases, they are ineligible to appear for the exam.  Training should begin at least one day after appearance and passing of exam.

2. Can candidate be employed during the practical training? 

Yes, there is no restriction regarding employment during training. (IRDA Mail Dt. 14.06.2023)

3. Is Manual quarterly report allowed for both fresh applicants as well as those applying for additional department? Or BAP portal generated quarterly report required? 

Currently, for additional dept. training requirement is less than a quarter. Hence, right now there is no need of a quarterly training report. The SLA and manual training report may be accepted in cases where the period mentioned in the enrolment approval mail is less than 6 months. However, in case of fresh license applicants opted training with surveyor (6 months), only BAP portal generated training reports are acceptable. (IRDA Mail Dt. 14.06.2023) 

4. In case where the applicant has applied for license in additional department, can TCC 

downloaded from BAP Portal for 6 months be allowed? or can allow manual certificate of 2 months? 

A manual TCC issued by the trainer on his letterhead with signature and seal may be accepted in case of additional dept. only if the period of training mentioned in his enrolment approval mail/letter is less than 6 months. (IRDA Mail Dt. 14.06.2023) 

5. Can candidates undertake practical training with a corporate surveyor? 

Training may be undertaken with a Corporate Surveyor's director or employee i.e. in effect the trainer should essentially have an individual SLA and TCC would be generated in that individual's name. 

6. Some of the trainers do not have a Letterhead for issuing the Training Completion Certificate (TCC), and hence, in order to comply with the regulatory requirement, they have created an instant Letterhead like document which apparently does not seem like a Letterhead. In such cases, can we ask trainer to Provide TCC through the email ID of trainer? 

Yes, mail from trainer may be accepted in such cases. 

7. Is the Examination common for both Fresh department License and Additional department License?

Yes, Provided the eligibility norms (Training) is completed.

8. What If IRDA enrollment is older than 3 years and candidate have already completed the training?

If IRDA enrollment is more than 3 years old but your training has already been completed, you will need to re-enroll with IRDA. In this case, your training remains valid, but your application for the exam is not valid until you re-enroll.

If enrollment was before 2020, you are advised to contact the IRDA helpdesk directly for further assistance.
