This paper examines the legal hurdles encountered during the privatization of insurance services in India. As the insurance sector transitioned from state-controlled to a more liberalized environment, various legal challenges emerged, impacting the efficiency and effectiveness of privatization. The study identifies key legal obstacles, including regulatory compliance issues, foreign direct investment (FDI) restrictions, and dispute resolution mechanisms. By analyzing these hurdles, the paper aims to provide insights into the complexities of privatization and offer recommendations for overcoming these challenges.
