           For the first time in five years, the insurance regulator approved registration
           of Kshema General Insurance as part of measures to improve ease of doing
           business, increase competitiveness, spur investments and attract newer play-
           ers. IRDAI, in its board meeting, also cleared non-life insurer Go Digit's IPO
           and approved the Exide Life-HDFC Life merger. In September, Sebi had said
           that it has kept Go Digit's IPO in abeyance for observations.
           There are 19 more registration applications in the pipeline at different stages
           of approval, including one for Credit Access. "We have completely stream-
           lined the procedure for approvals and expect that within 60 days or two
           board meetings we will be in a position to approve applications subject to the
           condition that the other side is ready," said IRDAI chairman Debasish Panda.
