Microfinance institutions

(Querist) 09 June 2009 This query is : Resolved 
Respected experts,
some of the Microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Tamil Nadu registered under Company's act or Trust Act that operates as Non banking finance company are undertaking insurance business (i.e. micro insurance). Instead of insuring their clients in insurance companies, they developed their own insurance product specifically to their clients and covering the risk(i.e. called as in house model). As per IRDA's rule, 100 crores capital is must to start insurace business. Is there any legal regulations for the MFIs to carry out microinsurance business? If so, plz tell about the requirements to be submitted by MFIs.
Thanks..
