ABSTRACT
The Insurance Act of 2010 has enacted by repealing back dated British law of 1938. When comparison is made between the two laws, several new points are found in the new law but still the law has some lacunas. The new law cannot mitigate the modern challenges like mobile or health insurances. In the present ICT era to meet up the demands of the society the law should be revised.
