Admitted Reinsurer

A Company is deemed to be “admitted” in India when it has been licensed and accepted by IRDA. In determining its financial condition a ceding insurer is allowed to take credit for the unearned premiums and unpaid claims on the risks reinsured if the reinsurance is placed in an admitted reinsurance company.

Admitted Seaworthiness

There is an implied warranty in a marine cargo policy that the ship used to carriage is seaworthy and reasonably fit to carry the cargo to its destination. As the cargo owner can often not control the seaworthiness of a ship, insurers usually include a clause in the policy to modify the implied warranty.
