IDBI Fortis Life Insurance, in association with Federal Bank, today announced that it has changed its name to IDBI Federal Life Insurance, in association with Ageas. The company has completed all legal formalities for change of name and has already obtained the approval of the Registrar of Companies and Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), it said in a press statement.

IDBI Fortis is a joint venture of IDBI Bank, Federal Bank and Fortis Insurance International with shareholding of 48 per cent, 26 per cent and 26 per cent, respectively.
