Policyholders do not register an insurance repository. They open an electronic insurance account with an IRDAI-authorised repository; the repository itself is a regulated entity subject to approval, security, service and grievance duties.
Before you act
An individual generally holds one e-insurance account across repositories.
Opening and maintaining the policyholder account should not be confused with licensing the repository operator.
Electronic holding does not change the insurance contract’s coverage, exclusions or claim conditions.
Use only an IRDAI-authorised repository and verify current service channels before sharing identity documents.

Practical evidence checklist
Keep the governing notification or rule, effective-date note, identity and authority documents, transaction records, calculations, filed forms, payment proof, acknowledgements, notices and responses. Add a short reconciliation explaining every material mismatch. Review continuing duties after approval or filing; many registrations, claims and licences fail later because renewal, reporting, display, record or change-notification duties were ignored.
