IRDAI Surveyor Motor (S-06)

The examination is administered by the Insurance Institute of India. IRDAI publishes examination notices on its website; for example, notices on eligible trainees for the III surveyor pre-licensing examinations for December 2026 appeared between 05.10.2026 and 23.10.2026. Check the III and IRDAI notices for your session rather than relying on third-party summaries.

The available IRDAI source does not state the question count, duration, or paper pattern for the S-06 motor examination. Treat any specific claim about section counts or timing as unverified until the official examination notification for your session is published. Prepare across the full motor syllabus rather than optimising for an assumed pattern.

These values are not stated in the source material reviewed, so we do not publish a figure. Confirm the fee, passing marks, and any late-fee rules from the official examination notification issued for your session. Guessing here wastes money and can cause you to miss a registration deadline.

The retake policy is not specified in the source reviewed, so we cannot state the number of attempts, waiting period, or re-registration requirements. Candidates should read the current examination notification carefully and, if unclear, seek written confirmation from the Institute before assuming a repeat attempt is automatic.

The validity period of a surveyor licence is not given in the source material reviewed, so no figure is asserted here. Licence conditions, renewal timing, and any continuing requirements flow from the IRDAI Insurance Surveyors and Loss Assessors Regulations, 2015 and subsequent IRDAI instructions; check the current text on the IRDAI site.

The IRDAI Surveyors page states that the Authority framed the IRDAI Insurance Surveyors and Loss Assessors Regulations, 2015 under sections 42D, 64 UM and 114A of the Insurance Act, 1938, as amended by the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015, and section 26 of the IRDAI Act, 1999. Read that regulation first.

Start with the regulatory framework, then motor policy structure and coverages, then claims and loss-assessment method: depreciation, salvage, total loss, and third-party liability assessment. Finish with timed practice on scenario questions. Building assessment judgement early makes later numerical practice faster and reduces formula-hunting under time pressure.

Weakness usually shows up in three places: mixing own-damage and third-party claim logic, mishandling depreciation and salvage deductions, and vague knowledge of the surveyor's regulatory duties and reporting obligations. Memorising rates without understanding the assessment sequence is the classic trap; examiners test reasoning, not recall alone.

IRDAI issued a circular dated 03-11-2026 titled 'four layer structure - motor insurance policy'. The source does not state its effective date or content, so we do not assert any policy-structure values. Track the circular on the IRDAI site and check whether your examination session has adopted it before relying on older structure descriptions.
