  "account": "Mumbai-based standalone health insurers want changes to how expense-of-management (EoM) limits are calculated, proposing that certain mandatory products be excluded from the base. Nilesh Kambli, CFO of Star Health, an India's leading standalone health insurer, made the point that government health business and motor third-party business, which are mandatory, should not be included in the calculation base. This is because there is no intermediary involved in these businesses and their premiums could give general insurers an advantage under the proposed common framework. This move is part of Irdai's feedback on proposed changes to EoM regulations.",
