Yes. Services of insurance agent are under RCM. See notification No. 13/17-CT(Rate) dated 28.6.17 as amended. Serial No.7 of notification refers. Under RCM no threshold exemption is available.

Just for Additional Information

'Intermediary Services' are covered under Section 24 (vii) of CGST Act, 2017. An agent, broker etc. plays the role of intermediary service. Hence compulsory registration without any threshold exemption.
