Directions (41-50): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
Expectations have grown around Bima Sugam, the unified insurance digital
marketplace inaugurated mid-September this year as the platform promised to
simplify how Indians buy, service and manage insurance policies. With India’s
insurance penetration at about 4% of GDP, Bima Sugam carries the potential to
widen access, boost transparency and build trust. The website shows the portal
is live but not yet open for business. Banners on the home page say marketplace
is ‘coming soon.’ When fully functional, Bima Sugam aims to be a one-stop
destination for all insurance needs — from product discovery and quote generation

r’s
to purchase, renewal, claims and grievance tracking. It is designed to integrate
product information across insurers and categories, allowing customers to make
informed choices. Private aggregator websites offer similar services but the
difference is in what Bima Sugam represents — a regulator-backed, industry-
supported digital public platform aimed at bringing credibility, interoperability
and standardisation. It aligns with the national mission of ‘Insurance for All by
ha
2047’ of the Centre and the IRDAI(Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
of India). If executed well, Bima Sugam could do for insurance what UPI did for
digital payments and ONDC aims to do for e-commerce. Its structure as a not-
for-profit entity jointly promoted by insurers and intermediaries signals a blend

E
of regulatory oversight and industry participation — an encouraging governance
model for digital public infrastructure. We can revisit a few expectations we
outlined in Cover Note in 2022 when the idea was announced. Universal
d
participation: Every insurer should be present and list all products. This will
expand choice while highlighting and addressing a persistent issue — too much
choice. The proliferation of policy variants shows innovation of the industry. But
ee

too much choice can overwhelm and confuse. The Securities and Exchange Board
of India (SEBI) faced a similar challenge with mutual funds and resolved it via
standardisation. IRDAI’s introduction of standardised policies in key segments
was a step in this direction; Bima Sugam can advance it by ensuring comparability
C
of features. Comparability and clarity: Insurance benefits often sound similar
but vary widely in meaning. A transparent comparison framework can help
Sr

customers choose wisely. Simplifying insurance language —coverage,


exclusions, co-pay,/A/ top-up — would also make the /B/process more
accessible and lead to /C/standardise underlying benefits of standard terms./
D/ Renewals and mobility: Auto-renewal and secure auto-debit options can prevent
unintentional policy lapses and benefit clients and insurers. Importantly, a
dedicated mobile app is essential for the smart phone generation that prefers to
transact entirely online. If Bima Sugam ensures clarity, comparability and
confidence, it can redefine how India engages with insurance.
C
41. According to the passage, what is the main objective of Bima Sugam?
1) To replace all private insurance aggregators in India
2) To simplify and standardise access to insurance while building trust
3) To offer only life insurance policies online
4) To generate revenue for the IRDAI
5) To provide insurance exclusively for government employees
42. What does the author imply by comparing Bima Sugam to UPI and ONDC?
1) Bima Sugam will offer financial services beyond insurance
2) The platform has the potential to revolutionise insurance like UPI did for
payments
3) Bima Sugam is a private profit-oriented company
4) ONDC and UPI are regulated by IRDAI
5) UPI and ONDC failed to meet public expectations
43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of Bima Sugam?
1) Product discovery and quote generation
2) Claims and grievance tracking
3) Standardised insurance benefits
4) Investment in mutual funds
5) Auto-renewal and auto-debit options

2) It is higher than most developed countries
3) It has decreased over the past decade
4) It is sufficient and does not require digital interventions

2) Excessive options without standardisation can make decision-making difficult
3) Insurers should reduce the number of products offered
4) Government intervention in insurance is unnecessary

r’s
5) Digital platforms always complicate choices

City planners have often __________ (57) by choosing male trees to avoid the

One unintended consequence of this practice is that pollen levels in urban areas

Directions (71-75): Read the following paragraphs carefully and answer the
questions given below it.
Paragraph 1
Small Savings Schemes, also known as Post Office Savings Schemes, have
long served as a conduit for channelising citizen savings. The interest rates are
set quarterly by the government and, for the current quarter, remain unchanged,
making them enticing for investors. These rates are pegged to Government Security
(G-Sec) yields with an additional markup, but oftentimes, the government adds a
“generosity component” or Z, effectively offering rates above formulaic requirements.
For instance, the Public Provident Fund (PPF) rate, which should have been 6.83%
based on the benchmark, is currently 7.1%, while the Senior Citizens Savings
Scheme (SCSS) enjoys a yield of 8.2%, exceeding the formula by 1.08%. Clearly,
the Z factor enhances returns, reflecting a deliberate attempt to incentivise small
investors and retirees, akin to giving them a carrot before the stick.

10
Sreedhar’s CCE IBPS (CSA) CLERKS MAINS-2025 MT - 24

Paragraph 2
While the allure of higher yields is undeniable, liquidity remains a key
consideration. Instruments such as National Savings Certificate VIII Issue or
Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) are largely illiquid, forbidding premature closure except
under exceptional circumstances, whereas Post Office term deposits allow early
withdrawal at lower rates. Compared with high-grade bank deposits, Small Savings
Schemes provide not only competitive returns but also sovereign security. Investors
must therefore weigh the trade-off between accessibility and superior interest,
remembering the old adage, “a bird in hand is worth two in the bush”—guaranteed
returns may outweigh the temptation of more liquid but lower-yielding alternatives.
Paragraph 3
Recent market movements provide further context. Despite the Reserve

r’s
Bank of India cutting the repo rate from 6.5% to 5.5%, G-Sec yields inched up
over the past few months, reflecting market anticipation of the end of the current
rate cut cycle. This implies that Small Savings rates are unlikely to decline
substantially in the near term. The “generosity component” persists, safeguarding
investors against abrupt reductions, and the government-backed schemes arguably
offer a safer harbor than private bank deposits. Thus, a strategic investor may
ha
find these instruments doubly attractive: they combine yield resilience with
sovereign security, providing a rare combination of safety and profitability in
today’s volatile interest rate environment.

What can be inferred from the conversation between Rohan and Ajay about the
feasibility of customizing sweets at ‘Aapka Mishthaan Bhandar’?
1) Rohan’s idea of customization could increase revenue, but Ajay’s concern about
production limitations makes it impractical.
2) Customizing sweets according to individual tastes is the only way to compete
with other sweet shops in the city.
3) Increasing production time will allow the shop to improve its quality but will
reduce the quantity of sweets made.
4) Rohan is ignoring the operational challenges while Ajay is focusing too much
on the current production model.
5) Customizing sweets will lead to a decrease in revenue because it will make
the production process slower and less efficient.
