What will happen now is that the select panels with specific terms of reference will have to give in its report latest by the first week of the winter session which one can can expect will be around the last week of November.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, MP, Rajya Sabha & Member, Insurance Panel said, "We hope to find a consensus. There is a fair degree of unanimity that we need more investment into the economy and opening up the insurance sector, increasing the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) limits will boost investments and as you know by boosting investments into the insurance sector there are many downstream positive impacts in terms of downstream investments that arise from the insurance sector. So yes, we hope that there will be a consensus and soon."

Naresh Gujral, MP, Rajya Sabha & Member, Insurance Panel said he didn't expect total unanimity.

"I am not the government, so I don't know what the government will do. We can at best do what we have been asked to do which is participate in the select committee and say what is right for the country. After that it depends upon the parliament and the government," added Gujral.
