Determination of the harmlessness of new or changed insurance conditions of pension funds
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzPension funds must submit to the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) amendments to insurance terms and conditions that previously did not have to be approved by BaFin.
If BaFin does not raise any objections within 3 months of submission, or if it establishes that they are unobjectionable beforehand, the General Terms and Conditions of Insurance (GTCI) become effective. They do not require approval.
The same procedure applies to the introduction of new insurance conditions by pension funds that are not regulated (within the meaning of Section 233 VAG).
