The Insurance Institute of India (III) is the sole national apex body for insurance underwriters in India established in 1955 in Mumbai. The Institute, formerly known as Federation of Insurance Institutes (J.C. Setalvad Memorial) (Regd.), was created for the purpose of promoting Insurance Education and Training in India.[1] The institute conducts examinations at various levels. It is the professional institute in India devoted solely to insurance education.

Certificates and diplomas are awarded by the institute to successful candidates. These are recognised by the government of India, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority), and insurers[2] in India and abroad.[3] These qualifications are recognised by similar institutes in the UK, Canada and the United States, for grant of exemption from some of their papers.[4]
