India's Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) on Friday said it is planning to come out with guidelines for the micro-insurance segment in the country to ensure its growth. "We are working on coming out with guidelines for the micro-insurance industry. Micro-insurance is important to ensure financial inclusion," IRDA member (Life) Sudhin Roy Chowdhury told reporters on the sidelines of the 5th ICC Insurance Summit here. "There are a lot of issues in the industry and these needs to be ironed out," he said.
