Presently BSE Ebix has more than 7,200 registered PoSPs, and is growing daily.

Corona Kavach policy addresses this very requirement of common man. The strategic association between Universal Sompo General Insurance and BSE EBIX will be enabling more people to avail insurance plans and protect themselves and their families against the deadly virus.
On the occasion, Ashishkumar Chauhan, Managing Director & CEO, BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange), said “We welcome Universal Sompo on BSE Ebix technology platform and with this addition we would be able to offer most customer-suited insurance covers across the country.
