IRDAI recruits Assistant Managers (regulatory officers) periodically. No fresh 2026 cycle confirmed as of May 2026. Past IRDAI AM notifications have had limited PwBD reservation — do not assume VI eligibility without checking the specific notification. PwBD suitability can be category-specific in IRDAI posts.
