NEW DELHI: Insurance industry regulator Irda has emerged the victor in a high-profile tussle over the regulation of so-called unit-linked insurance plans or Ulips, with the government ruling that it and not the market watchdog Sebi would oversee the product.
The government is “clarifying by way of an explanation that life insurance business shall include any unit-linked insurance policy or scripts or any such instruments,’’ said a statement from the press information bureau. “This would set at rest all the issues regarding Ulips between the two financial regulators.’’
The government promulgated an ordinance late on Friday to amend four major laws that could revive the sale of Ulips and force the mutual fund industry to look for new avenues to get investors.

Ranking of rivers on the basis of length and direction (west to east ,north to south etc) is a frequently asked question in UPSC prelims. One should also have a good idea about the important international rivers. Ensemble’s Geography through Maps is a good book to follow even for non-geography optional students.

One should look up all important straits in Atlas and in fact referring atlas should become an important part of reading newspaper.Whenever and wherever one encounters the name of any place or country that one cannot place geographically ,one must immediately look it up in Atlas and don’t stop there,go a step further by looking up nearby countries,mountain ranges,rivers and also whether any tropic or equator is passing through it.This will make the learning more complete and can very well make make the difference.
