Irdai takes aim at dark patterns

Judicial statusReporting of filings, charges or court observations — not a finding of guilt.

Cross-source confidence: 90% — how consistently independent sources report the same core facts, scored deterministically.

India’s insurance watchdog, IRDAI, has ordered insurers to scrap deceptive ‘dark patterns’—like hidden clauses and forced add-ons—in policy terms, renewals, and claims. From now on, all terms must be laid out clearly in plain language by the regulator’s deadline, or firms risk penalties under updated conduct rules. Separately, the Supreme Court stepped in after Patna High Court’s remarks in a rape case, where judges had questioned a woman’s salwar removal and chest pressing. The top court flagged ‘offending’ language and asked for legal clarity on the observations.
