CHAPTER 8 Contravention of Limitation of Expenses and Tariff Regulations
Rule 17G Action against Extravagant Life Insurers
(1) If It appears from the report of an actuarial valuation under sub-section (3) of Section 64K of the Act read with the statutory returns relating to accounts that the insurer concerned is insolvent, the Controller may cancel the registration of such insurer and request the Executive Committee of the Life Insurance Council to consider whether in the circumstances of the case it Is possible to have the business of the insurer reconstructed or whether some other insurer is willing to take over the business.
(2) When such a request is received, the Executive Committee of the Life Insurance Council shall meet not later than one month of the receipt of such request to consider the matter and within seven days of such meeting shall communicate Its decision to the Controller.
(3) If the Executive Committee is unable to meet within the time specified in sub-rule (2) or Is unable to suggest any practical steps for the reconstruction or transfer, the Controller may, as soon as may be, apply to the Court for the winding up of that insurer.
(4) If the valuation under sub-section (3) of Section 64K does not disclose the insurer to be insolvent, the actuary making the investigation shall append to his report a statement whether an encroachment on the bonus loadings contained in the premium has occurred and whether such en- croachment is due either partly or wholly to heavy expenses incurred by the insurer after giving credit for any profits made In other directions.

_______________________
(5) On receipt of the recommendations referred to in sub-rule (3) or sub-rule (4), the Controller may issue such directions to the insurer concerned as he deems fit and if the Insurer complies with such directions, the cancelled registration may be revived wherever possible or where it is not so possible, the insurer may be registered afresh.
(6) If the directions are not complied with, the Controller may apply to the Court for the winding up of the insurer.
Rule 17H Action against Extravagant General Insurers
(1) In pursu- ance of sub-section (3) of Section 64M of the Act the Controller may-
(a) cancel the registration of the insurer under the Act, and
(b) request the Executive Committee of the General Insurance Council to consider practical steps for the reconstruction of the insurer concerned or for transferring its business to some other insurer.
(2) When such a request as Is referred to in the preceding sub-rule is received by the Executive Committee of the General Insurance Council, it shall meet not later than one month of the receipt of such request to consider the request and within seven days of such meeting.shall commu- nicate its decision to the Controller.
(3) The Controller may, after considering the recommendations of the Executive Committee in this behalf apply to the Court for the winding up of the insurer concerned if he thinks fit. cancellation took effect, should have applied to such cancellation of the registration. It was urged that as the excess in expenses of management would already have taken place it would not be possible for an insurer to rectify that defect for the past year and, therefore, the provisions for reviving the registration cannot ever apply to an insurer whose registration has been cancelled under Section 64M(3) read with rule 17H. The contention, however, has no force. In many cases of revival of registration covered by sub-section (5- C) of Section 3 It is not possible to undo the past default. The directions to be complied with by the insurer in connection with revival of the registration may be, therefore, for the future. There is no reason why registration of insurer cancelled in pursuance of Section 64M(3) of the Act may not in a suitable case be revived at the direction of the Controller. It appears that rule 17H of the Insurance Rules, 1939, does not confer on the Controller of Insurance the power to cancel the registration of an insurer indepen- dently of Section 3(4)(f) of the Act. The correct interpretation of Cl. (a) of that rule seems to be that the certificate of registration granted to an insurer may be cancelled by the Controller in pursuance of sub-section (3) of Section 64M under the Act, from which it follows that cancellation of the registra- tion of the insurer is to be effected under the provisions relating to cancellation of registration as embodied in the Act.
