<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">According to the latest data received from the authority, the number of insurance agents in Nepal is 264,526, including 42,711 new agents who do not need to renew their license immediately. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">As per the provisions of the Insurance Act 2079 issued on November 8, new agents must renew their license every three years.

<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Nirmal Adhikari, information officer of the authority, said that with the implementation of the one agent, one insurance company policy, the number of agents renewing their licenses has decreased.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Regarding the agents’ complaint that there are problems with the authority's server, the officer says that 'problems appear sometimes due to the new technology'. However, he mentioned that after noticing such problems, the authority has also made necessary improvements in the system.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">According to the official, agents who have not renewed their license by mid-April will be able to renew it by paying an extra charge of Rs 100 by mid-June.
