How to study for IC-38

Treat every item as a customer-advice file: identify the prospect, risk, product type, insurable interest, premium, exclusion, document, claim step, grievance path, and agent-duty boundary.

Core concepts

Concept 1

Agent Code of Conduct and Regulation questions reward reading the official India source, role boundary, and stated facts together.

Exam cue: Identify the regulator, role, resident or client fact, document, and timing cue.

Concept 2

The strongest answer identifies the rule, resident or client risk, disclosure, calculation, document, or workflow step before acting.

Exam cue: Check whether the question asks about the certification exam, renewal/CPE, field workflow, or compliance decision.

Concept 3

Eliminate answers that skip India-specific requirements or put convenience above compliance.

Exam cue: Choose the official-process answer before the familiar shortcut.

Record Duty
