Oriental Insurance Company Limited is operating in Nepal since 1956 as an extended arm of its parent organisation back home in India which is a public sector non-life general insurance company under the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. It started as a Branch Office operation in Kathmandu as its base. At that time, only one other Insurance Company i.e. Nepal Insurance and Transport Corporation (NITC) was underwriting general Insurance business and that was also only for Nepal Bank Ltd. The initial operation included direct Insurance acceptances and also acceptance of Re-Insurance business from NITC. With increase in premium income, we started full fledged Branch Offices at Biratnagar, Birgunj, Hetauda, Pokhara, Nepalgunj & Butwal in subsequent years. The premium at Kathmandu also increased resulting in creation of 2 Branch offices in Kathmandu i.e. Divisional Office I and Branch II . Apart from having these full fledged Branch Offices, we have four Inspectorate offices at Bhairahwa, Narayangarh, Tehrathum and Birtamode which are manned by Marketing Officer and are catering successfully to the needs of public residing in remote areas as well.The controlling office known as Country Office, is located at "Sunrise Bizz Park" Charkhal,Dillibazar, Kathmandu.
