III IC-71 · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
IC-71 is a Professional Examination subject of the Insurance Institute of India (III), the body that runs India's insurance-sector examinations and awards the Licentiate, Associateship and Fellowship designations. Professional Examination subjects such as IC-71 sit within that designation ladder and are aimed at insurance professionals, underwriters, claims and operations staff, and candidates building formal III credentials. IC-71 is commonly associated with insurance marketing, though the retrieved III homepage does not enumerate the subject's syllabus, so candidates should confirm the current syllabus and reading list from III's Professional Examination syllabus page before planning study. Preparation follows a predictable path: download the current study course material for the subject, work through the model question bank and past question papers, and use the examination help manual to understand the online delivery format. III has introduced revised study course materials from the June 2026 Online Examination and further new and revised materials from September 2026, so always study from the latest edition rather than an older copy. Professional Examination fees were revised with effect from 1 April 2026, and e-books carry 5% GST from 20 March 2026. Topics on this exam: Professional Examination subject IC-71 (domain structure not enumerated in source). The III IC-71 study guide has 1 section and about 386 words.
01IC-71: Actuarial Aspects of Product Development
IC-71 tests the actuarial and regulatory mechanics of turning a life-insurance idea into a filed, priced, and reservable product. Expect questions on assumptions, premium bases, reserves, non-forfeiture values, and the product-development lifecycle rather than sales technique. The sequence is idea screening, feasibility, pricing, documentation, regulatory filing, launch, and experience monitoring. The appointed actuary certifies the pricing basis and the policy liability; marketing and compliance cannot substitute for that sign-off.
