KARACHI:<\/strong> The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has announced a major increase in compensation for road accident victims in Sindh under the Motor Third-Party Insurance scheme, raising the payout from Rs20,000 to Rs700,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the SECP, the revised compensation will be provided through an automated claims system<\/strong>, enabling victims or their families to receive payments quickly without the need for lengthy court proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulator said the initiative is aimed at improving financial protection for road accident victims and ensuring faster access to compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharp Increase in Commercial Vehicle Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The SECP also reported a significant expansion in commercial vehicle insurance coverage, stating that insurance policies for commercial vehicles have increased by 1,300 percent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of insured commercial vehicles has risen from approximately 11,000 to more than 165,000<\/strong>, reflecting wider compliance with insurance requirements and greater participation in the formal insurance sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expansion Planned Across Pakistan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The commission said preparations are underway to extend the Motor Third-Party Insurance framework beyond Sindh to Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once implemented, the expanded programme is expected to provide similar financial protection to road accident victims in other provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Insurance Products for Retirees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The SECP further announced that life insurance annuity products<\/strong> are being introduced for retired individuals. These products are intended to provide retirees with a regular stream of income after retirement and strengthen long-term financial security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crop Insurance and Takaful Sector Growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the SECP said an insurance consortium<\/strong> has been established to support crop insurance, aiming to improve risk management for Pakistan’s agricultural sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regulator also noted that the Takaful (Islamic insurance) sector<\/strong> now accounts for 14 percent<\/strong> of the country’s insurance market. To support the sector’s continued growth and regulatory oversight, the SECP has issued new operational guidelines<\/strong> for Takaful providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commission said these measures are part of broader efforts to modernize Pakistan’s insurance industry, expand financial inclusion, and provide stronger protection for individuals, businesses, farmers, and retirees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
