Trainee Registration on the BAP Portal

Insurance Surveyors and Loss Assessors are high-end professionals hired by Insurance Companies. They assess the actual loss arising from fortuitous events such as mishappenings, fire, burglary, natural events, etc., for settlement of insurance claims. A Surveyor in Insurance acts as an intermediary between the insurer and the insured for claim settlement.

They usually operate in the General Insurance business sector. Insurance Surveyors operate in multiple lines of business. Under the Surveyor Regime, the Fire Insurance Surveyor can also function as a Marine Surveyor.

The Insurance Surveyor is responsible for carrying out surveys of any or more of the following entities:

• Buildings
• Machinery
• Ports
• Other financially viable instruments

Each of these infras seeks insurance protection. The Surveyor in Insurance prepares reports to assess the actual losses incurred. Then, they verify the amount claimed by the policyholder. Insurers usually settle their claims based on the reports submitted by Insurance Surveyors.

How to become a Surveyor in Insurance in India?

The following are the steps to becoming a licensed Insurance Surveyor in India. Heed them carefully before applying for the requisite IRDAI instructions:

BAP Registration 

To acquire an Insurance Surveyor and Loss Assessor license, the first step is registering on the BAP portal. After your successful registration on the BAP, the applicant can apply for the requisite training with the IRDAI.

Trainer Selection 

After the basic registration, the applicant must undergo training to select the Trainer. He or she must also choose the department in which they want to undergo the Surveyor training.

Issue of the Trainer Acceptance Certificate 

If the Trainer selected by the Surveyor applicant accepts their training request, then the applicant will receive an email notification from the Regulatory Authority IRDA. The email will inform the applicant of the trainer selection. In case the Trainer rejects the applicant’s training request, then the proposed Surveyor in Insurance must select another trainer.

Issue of Training Completion Certificate 

After the applicant has successfully completed his training, he or she will receive the TCC, i.e., the Training Completion Certificate, from the Trainer’s end.

Applying for a Fresh Surveyor License
