Overview

For details in relation to our business, see "Our Business" on page 248.

Key Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

The results of our operations and our financial condition are affected by a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control, including the following:

Macroeconomic conditions in India

Our business and profitability are affected by general economic and demographic conditions in India. Indias economic growth trends, household savings rate, customer attitudes towards financial savings and demographic profile are some of the key factors affecting the performance of its life insurance industry. In the event of adverse macroeconomic conditions in India (whether due to conditions in India or as a result of deterioration of global macroeconomic conditions), characterized by higher unemployment, lower household income, lower corporate earnings, lower business investment and lower customer spending, the demand for insurance and savings products could be adversely affected. Changes in economic conditions can affect our financial results through their effect on market conditions and income from investments and through changes in customer confidence and demand for insurance products and services. Declining customer confidence tends to cause both a decrease in new policy sales and an increase in policy surrenders, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.

Several recent global economic trends may influence the Indian economys growth trajectory. These include fluctuations in global interest rates, changes in the United States fiscal and monetary policies, ongoing global tariff wars, Chinas attempts to recalibrate its financial systems and geopolitical tensions involving Ukraine and Russia among others. If the economic or demographic conditions in India deteriorate or are not in line with our expectations, or the impact on our business is different from what we expect, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Regulatory and fiscal environment

The life insurance industry in India is regulated and involves significant compliance efforts and related costs. Any changes in the business environment resulting from regulatory or fiscal changes or more stringent adoption or implementation of the existing regulatory regime applicable to the Indian life insurance industry could have an impact on the nature of our existing products, our ability to launch new products, our business practices, distribution arrangements, target customer segments, and the value of our assets or our existing business.

IRDAI Regulations

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Registration of Corporate Agents) Regulations, 2015 read with the Press Note dated November 25, 2022 permit our bancassurance partners to tie up with up to nine life insurers in its capacity as corporate agents. Consequently, we may compete with other life insurers to promote our products through our bancassurance partners.

We are limited by IRDAI regulations in connection with inter alia (i) the investments we are permitted to make, including minimum investment requirements in central government securities, state government securities, other approved securities and housing and infrastructure sectors, (ii) issuance of capital, (iii) transfer restrictions on our Equity Shares, (iv) solvency ratios that we are required to maintain, (v) restrictions on place of business, (vi) expenses of management (including commission) regulations, (vii) obligations to rural and social sectors, (viii) requirements with respect to distribution arrangements and (ix) rules relating to the aggregate foreign investment that is permitted, among other regulations.

Further, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Actuarial, Finance and Investment Functions of Insurers) Regulations, 2024 read with Master Circular on Actuarial, Finance and Investment Functions of Insurers dated May 17, 2024, as amended require insurance companies to prepare financial statements in a prescribed format. IRDAI is also endeavoring to implement Ind AS in the insurance sector from April 1, 2027.

Any new IRDAI policies relating to, among other matters, insurance products, insurance intermediaries, distribution or provisioning norms affecting our business, or the introduction of rural and other social welfare initiatives introduced at the initiative of other regulatory agencies that we are required to support, may result in increased operational expenses, including the cost of regulatory compliance, decreased profitability, or require us to modify our business strategy and focus on new markets and/or customer segments.

General Fiscal and Corporate Tax Laws

Any adverse development in fiscal or taxation laws applicable to insurance companies in India, discontinuance of tax exemptions in relation to pension income, change in applicability of minimum alternate tax rates and any discontinuance of tax benefits available to customers with respect to insurance products in India may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Further, income earned on unit linked insurance policies ("ULIPs") where premium contributions is beyond ?0.25 million per annum are taxable and income earned on contributions with respect to any life insurance policy other than

a ULIP, issued on or after April 1, 2023, if the amount of premium payable per annum during the term of such policy exceeds ?0.50 million, is taxable and the income/return on maturity shall be treated as a capital gain and charged accordingly under Section 112A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The cap of Rs.0.25 million on the annual premium of ULIP is applicable only for the policies taken on or after February 1, 2021. In the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our new business premium from ULIPs was ?2,110.82 million, ?2,020.95 million, ?12,289.36 million, ?6,677.68 million and ?6,755.18 million, respectively, which represented 25.32%, 28.36%, 39.37%, 23.02% and 18.18%, of our new business premium, respectively. One of our strategies is to ensure a balanced product mix and benefit from economic of scale, through a focus on higher margin products for greater financial returns while maintaining a balanced product mix to hedge our dependence on specific policy segments and customer demographics. Our execution of such strategies is subject to regulations, such as the aforementioned laws. See "Our Business - Our Strategies - Ensure profitable growth through balanced product portfolio" and "Key Regulations and Policies" on pages 262 and 297, respectively.

Furthermore, any adverse changes in goods and services tax applicable to insurance companies in India may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Expansion and efficiency of our multi-channel distribution network

Our business relies on our multi-channel distribution network, particularly our bancassurance network. As such, the productivity of these channels directly influences our financial health and operational outcomes. We possess a vast distribution network, with bancassurance being the most significant avenue. For instance, bancassurance accounted for 92.33%, 91.71%, 87.07%, 78.71% and 57.20% of our new business premium during the three months ended June 30, 2025, June 30, 2024, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Specifically, contributions from Canara Bank were 73.16%, 74.85%, 70.58%, 61.33% and 43.87% during these times. In addition, HSBC India accounted for 9.01%, 8.85%, 9.79%, 11.11% and 9.22% of the new business premium. We have also partnered with seven regional rural banks to strengthen our bancassurance channel across India. Failure to secure new partnerships, preserve existing relationships amidst competition, or fully utilize these channels may negatively impact our product sales. Our arrangements with bancassurance partners, in accordance with the current regulations are non-exclusive, and sales depend on our products competitiveness. Furthermore, in addition to the bancassurance channel we have also expanded our distribution channel to include brokers and other corporate agents. The effectiveness of these partnerships, and our capacity to cultivate new distribution channels profoundly affect our business operations and financial state. We are also prioritizing our direct sales (including sales on our digital platform) channel. Competing in direct sales, especially online, hinges on retaining staff, utilizing data analytics and maintaining a customer-focused approach compared to competitors. We are also working towards launching an agency distribution channel, which will be crucial in enhancing our presence and increase our market penetration and consequently our results of operations will be dependent on how this channel performs. Additionally, any changes in the regulatory landscape could influence the expansion and efficiency of our distribution network.

Product mix and new business growth

We develop and distribute a diverse array of individual and group insurance products, including participating, nonparticipating, unit-linked and annuity options. These offerings encompass protection, savings and retiral needs of customers. Different products have varying capital requirements, pricing assumptions, reserve levels, profitability metrics and profit period patterns, thus changes in the product mix impact our financial health and operational results. We have increasingly concentrated on non-participating policies, especially those concerning the savings and protection needs of policyholders, to enhance our margins. Despite this focus, unit-linked products still contribute a substantial portion of our revenue. Moreover, we are also strategically focusing on group protection products, particularly group credit life, which tends to yield higher margins compared to other group products.

Regulatory changes, market developments and customer preferences that influence sales of our unit-linked, participating or non-participating products can significantly impact our business and operational outcomes. The growth of our non-participating products and their mix are crucial to our Value of New Business ("VNB") and profitability. We aim to balance our product portfolio with an appropriate mix of non-participating, participating and unit-linked products along with a focus on relatively higher-margin products, maintaining overall growth while developing additional products. To proactively address market shifts, we strive to design innovative products to capitalize on emerging opportunities, positioning ourselves competitively against offerings from our rivals. Noteworthy changes in product categories, presently significant or likely to gain significance, could materially affect our business and financial performance. In addition, profits from life insurance contracts typically emerges over the life of the contract and we may incur losses in the initial period after a policy is written. Any significant growth in new business may also cause us to incur loss in the initial phases, thereby affecting our results of operations temporarily.

Variance between actual experience and actuarial assumptions

Our results from operations and financial condition are affected by our claims, persistency and surrender experience, which may vary from the assumptions made when we priced our products and calculated our insurance contract liabilities.

Our claims experience varies over time, differs across product types and distribution channels, and may be impacted by specific events and changes in macroeconomic conditions, population demographics, mortality, morbidity and other factors. Our business is exposed to the risk of catastrophic mortality and illness, such as an epidemic/pandemic or other events that may cause a large number of mortality and/or morbidity claims. In order to partly mitigate this risk, we enter into catastrophic reinsurance arrangements where catastrophic claims in excess of certain limits are covered by our reinsurers.

Our actual persistency and surrender experience may differ from our assumptions and expectations. Our persistency levels, which are measured by the proportion of customers who continue to maintain their policies with us over certain defined periods, is important to our results of operations. A higher persistency ratio has a favourable impact on our total revenues and long-term profitability, and vice-versa. Persistency and surrender experience vary over time because of various factors including type of product, change in customer behaviour, regulatory developments, macroeconomic and market conditions as well as our investment performance.

For details, see "Risk FactorsInternal Risks - Risk relation to the business of our Company - If actual claims experienced and other parameters such as including but not limited to expenses and commissions are different from the assumptions used by us in pricing and setting reserves for our products, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations " on page 53.

Fluctuations in market interest rates

The profitability of certain of our products and our investment returns can be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, inflationary factors, fiscal deficits, trade surpluses or deficits, liquidity, regulatory requirements and other factors beyond our control.

Our interest rate sensitivity varies across the different product lines, based on the nature of the returns due to our policyholders. In general, the investment risk in respect of investments made for unit-linked contracts is borne by policyholders of such products, whereas the investment risk associated with investments backing participating products is shared between our policyholders and shareholders, and the investment risk associated with nonparticipating products and shareholders funds is completely borne by shareholders. In addition, movements in interest rates may affect the level and timing of recognition of gains and losses on debt securities and other investments held in our investment portfolio. A significant portion of our investment portfolio is held in debt securities, particularly fixed income government securities. Our debt portfolio represented 64.79%, 64.02%, 66.63%, 66.64% and 68.13% of our AUM as at June 30, 2025, June 30, 2024, March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Some of our products have guaranteed returns. These contracts carry the risk that interest income from the financial assets backing such liabilities may be insufficient to fund the guaranteed benefits payable as interest rates fall. During periods of declining interest rates, we may not be able to fully meet the guaranteed liabilities of our non-participating contracts. Declining interest rates generally have the effect of increasing the proportion of policyholders who elect to continue with products that have guaranteed benefits. While this may improve our persistency, it also increases the overall cost of providing such guarantees and therefore affects our financial results and profitability. While we have hedging arrangements in place to mitigate this risk, it is possible that the impact may not be fully offset in a rapidly declining interest rate scenario, particularly where we experience a significant increase in the new business premium through products with guaranteed benefits. For participating contracts, a decline in interest rates may result in lower bonus rates for policyholders, which may lead to policyholder dissatisfaction and therefore increased surrenders and decreased new business sales.

In addition, our insurance contracts liabilities may have a longer duration than our investment assets, which may result in the re-investment returns of our maturing investments being lower than the average guaranteed pricing rate for our insurance policies in a declining interest rate environment

Rising interest rates could result in the reduction in the fair value of our investments and generate unrealized losses, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Rising interest rates could also lead to higher levels of surrenders and withdrawals of existing policies as policyholders seek to buy products with perceived higher returns, which may require us to sell our invested assets and make cash payments to policyholders at a time when the prices of those assets are declining, which may result in realized losses.

For details, see "Risk FactorsInternal Risks - Risk relation to the business of our Company - Fluctuations in interest rates could significantly and negatively impact our profitability. Furthermore, the Indian capital markets offer a limited variety and quantity of long-term fixed income products. Legal and regulatory restrictions on the types and amounts of investments allowed for insurance entities may constrain our ability to closely align the tenure of our assets with our liabilities" and the Embedded Value Report on pages 51 and 609, respectively.

Fluctuations in Indian equity markets

Fluctuations in the Indian equity markets hold the potential to impact our investment returns, and subsequently, our financial condition and operational results. For unit-linked products, policyholders bear the fluctuations associated with the underlying investments, whereas investment risks tied to other products or shareholders funds are either split between policyholders and us or solely borne by us.

During extended or sharp declines in equity markets, the sale of unit-linked products may decrease, while periods of rising markets may tend to increase sales. When market uncertainty or volatility prevails, customers might hesitate to engage in new unit-linked policies. Moreover, lower investment returns from unit-linked assets may impact the assets under management and related fees earned. Declines in equity markets can trigger increased surrenders and withdrawals as customers look to alternative products, although some may continue to hold investments aiming for future gains. Conversely, rising markets might lead customers to exit their policies to capitalize on gains. A fall in equity markets not only reduces our investment income but also reduces the fair value of investments linked to non- linked policyholder funds and shareholders funds.

Competition

We face competition in the Indian life insurance market from both public and private sector competitors. According to the CRISIL Report, amongst bank led insurers, we face competition from life insurers such as SBI Life Insurance Company Ltd., HDFC Life Insurance Company Limited, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited, Axis Max Life Insurance Company Limited, Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Limited, PNB Metlife India Insurance Company Limited, IndiaFirst Life Insurance Company Limited and Star Union Dai-Ichi Life Insurance Company. We also face competition from non-bank led insurance providers such as Life Insurance Corporation of India, TATA AIA Life Insurance Company Ltd., Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company Ltd., Aditya Birla Sunlife Insurance Company Limited and Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company Limited.

We also face competition from smaller life insurance companies that have been seeking to expand market share in recent years and may develop strong positions in certain customer segments. Our Companys other competitors include non-life insurance companies (to the extent such companies offer health insurance products), standalone health insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds companies, and other financial services providers offering a variety of financial investment products.

We compete for business on the basis of various factors, including product features, price, coverage offered, quality of customer service, distribution network, relationships with bancassurance partners/agents/other intermediaries, brand recognition, size of operations, operating efficiency and financial strength. In addition, life insurance products also compete with certain other financial services products. For example, in the area of savings-oriented insurance products, we compete with mutual fund companies, bank fixed deposits and Government small saving schemes. Some of our competitors may offer higher commissions or more attractive rewards to agents and other distribution intermediaries or offer similar insurance products at lower pricing. We may also experience increase in consolidation in the life insurance sector in India, which could lead to our competitors attaining increased financial strength, management capabilities, resources, operational experience, market share, distribution channels and capabilities in pricing, underwriting and claims settlement.

Financial institutions in India have increasingly concentrated on creating innovative investment products to cater to the growing public interest in diverse financial options. This shift has resulted in a broad array of financial investment offerings. These products might appeal to customers due to factors such as tax advantages, investment returns, liquidity or other characteristics, posing potential competition to our products that share similar investment features.

Expense management

Our growth in new business and ability to control costs directly influence our profitability. Financial results reported are significantly affected by expenses, which may not align with the assumptions made during product pricing and calculation of insurance contract liabilities. Various factors, including specific events and changes in macroeconomic conditions such as inflation, regulations, competition, distribution costs, and employee costs, can impact these expenses. Due to the cap on charges for unit-linked products, the ability to absorb expenses varies across unit-linked

different products. Our expense ratios and consequently, financial condition and operational results may be affected by shifts in product mix and expansion of distribution channels such as direct and agency channels. Additionally, a reduction in new business premiums and renewals may influence our expense ratios. Our efforts to manage operating expenses involve enhancing operational efficiencies, investing in information technology, and collaborating with distribution partners and employees to increase productivity levels.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures relating to our operations and financial performance (collectively, "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and each, a "Non-GAAP Financial Measure"). The presentation of these Non-GAAP Financial Measures provides additional useful information to potential investors regarding our performance and trends related to our financial condition and results of operations. Accordingly, when Non-GAAP Financial Measures are viewed together with Indian GAAP financial information, as applicable, potential investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our financial condition and results of operations.

We use a variety of financial and operational performance indicators to measure and analyze our operational performance from period to period, and to manage our business. We also use other information that may not be entirely financial in nature, including statistical and other comparative information commonly used within the life insurance sector to evaluate our financial and operating performance. For these reasons, we have included certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this Red Herring Prospectus, including Individual WPI, APE, Embedded Value and Value of New Business, as well as certain other metrics based on or derived from those Non-GAAP measures. For further details, see "Other Financial Information" on page 462. These Non-GAAP Financial Measures have limitations as analytical tools. As a result, Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our historical financial performance, as reported under Indian GAAP and presented in our Restated Financial Information. Furthermore, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not defined under Indian GAAP and therefore should not be viewed as substitutes for performance or profitability measures under Indian GAAP. While these Non-GAAP Financial Measures may be used by other companies operating in the Indian life insurance sector, they may not be comparable to similar financial or performance indicators used by other companies due to potential inconsistences in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. Therefore, these metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to profit before tax, premiums earned - net, gross earned premiums or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operations. Also see, "Risk Factors - Internal Risks - Risk relation to the business of our Company - We have in this Red Herring Prospectus included certain non-generally accepted accounting measures ("GAAP") and certain other industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-GAAP measures and industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry in which we operate, and therefore may not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies on page 79.

Basis of Preparation

Our Restated Financial Information (as defined below) has been prepared and presented under the historical cost convention unless otherwise stated, on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with the IRDAI (Actuarial, Finance and Investment Functions of Insurers) Regulations, 2024, the provisions of the Insurance Act, 1938 and Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Act, 1999 as amended by the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015 and Insurance (Amendment) Act, 2021, various circulars/guidelines issued by IRDAI and accounting standards referred to under the Companies Act, 2013 (section 133 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2021) to the extent applicable, as amended from time to time and in the manner so required as per the generally accepted accounting principles in Indian GAAP and the practices prevailing within the insurance industry in India.

The Restated Financial Information comprises of the Restated Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Company as at June 30, 2025, June 30, 2024, March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and the Restated Statement of Revenue Account (Policyholders Account/ Technical Account), Restated Statement of Profit and Loss Account (Shareholders Account/ Non-Technical Account) and the Restated Statement of Receipts and Payments Account for the period/ years ended June 30, 2025, June 30, 2024, March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 (together referred as "Restated Financial Information") and other financial information.

Material Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our accounting policies in the three preceding Fiscals and the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our restated financial information requires selecting accounting policies and making estimates and assumptions that affect items reported in the restated statement of assets and liabilities, the restated statement of revenue account, restated statement of profit and loss account, the restated receipts and payments and the notes attached thereto. The determination of these accounting policies is fundamental to our results of operations and financial condition and requires management to make subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain based on information and data that may change in future periods. As a result, determinations regarding these items necessarily involve the use of assumptions and subjective judgments as to future events and are subject to change, and the use of different assumptions or data could produce materially different results. In addition, actual results could differ from estimates and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For more information regarding our significant accounting policies, see "Restated Financial Information - Annexure to Restated Financial Information - Notes to Financial Statements - Annexure .XXIV Summary of significant accounting policies" on page 380.

Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the restated financial information and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimates may differ significantly from managements current judgments.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are as follows:

Revenue recognition

Premium Income

Premium of non-linked business is recognized as income (net of Goods and Services Tax ("GST")) when due from policyholders, where the grace period (as per the product terms and conditions, as approved by IRDAI) has not expired. For unit linked business, premium is recognized as income when the associated units are created/ allocated. In case of variable insurance products and other fund-based group products, premium is recognized as income on the date of receipt of funds.

Premium on lapsed policies is recognized as income when such policies are reinstated.

Products having regular premium paying plans with limited premium payment term and/or pre-determined policy term are treated as regular business with due classification of premium into first year and renewal. Premium income on products other than aforesaid is classified as single premium.

Top-up premium paid by the unit linked policyholders is considered as single premium and recognized as income when the associated units are created / allocated.

Income from Linked Business

Fund management charges, administrative charges, mortality charges and other charges as per the product features are recovered from linked funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of policies and are recognized when due and recoverable. Allocation charges are recovered when associated units are created / allocated in accordance with the terms and conditions of policies.

GST recovered on above Unit Linked charges are shown under "GST recovered on ULIP charges" in the revenue account as required by IRDAI guidelines.

Income from Investments

Derivative instrument

Certain guaranteed products offered by us assure the policy holders a fixed rate of return for premiums to be received in the future and we are exposed to interest rate risk on account of re-investment of interest and principal maturities at future date and guarantee risk on premiums from already written policies. Interest rate derivative contracts are used for hedging of highly probable forecasted transactions on insurance contracts and investment cash flows.

A forward rate agreement ("FRA") is a forward contract to hedge the risk of movements in interest rates. We are using FRA instruments to hedge interest rate risk arising out of premiums from already written policies and reinvestment risk of interest and principal maturities at future date.

We follow hedge accounting in accordance with the ‘Guidance Note on Accounting for Derivative Contracts issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and IRDAI Investment Master Circular, as amended from time to time

We have a well-defined Board approved Derivative Policy and Process document setting out the strategic objectives, risk measures and functioning of the derivative transactions as per the hedging strategy. At the inception of the hedge, we designate and document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, the risk management objective, strategy for undertaking the hedge and the methods used to assess the hedge effectiveness.

For cash flow hedges, hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of inception of the hedge and periodically thereafter.

• The portion of fair value gain / loss on the interest rate derivative that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized directly in appropriate equity account i.e. ‘Hedge Fluctuation Reserve.

• The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of such instruments is recognized in the Revenue Account in the period in which they arise.

• If the hedging relationship ceases to be effective or it becomes probable that the expected forecasted transaction will no longer occur, hedge accounting is discontinued and the cumulative gains or losses that were recognized earlier in Hedge Fluctuation Reserve shall be reclassified to the Revenue Account.

• The accumulated gains or losses that were recognized in the Hedge Fluctuation Reserve are reclassified into Revenue Account or profit and loss account, in the same period during which the income from investments acquired from underlying forecasted cash flow is recognized in the Revenue Account.

Recognition of derivates in balance sheet

Initial recognition: All derivatives are initially recognized in the balance sheet at their fair value, which usually represents their cost. Any fair value gain or loss on the date of inception of the transaction is recognized in Revenue account with a corresponding adjustment in the value of derivative asset or liability.

• Subsequent recognition: All derivatives are subsequently re-measured at their fair value, with the method of recognizing movements in this value depending on whether they are designated as hedging instruments and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. In case the Hedging Instrument is found effective, then the movement in fair value gain or loss is directly adjusted in to Hedge Fluctuation Reserve with a corresponding adjustment in the value of derivative asset or liability. In case the Hedging Instrument is found ineffective, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of such instruments is recognized in the Revenue Account in the period in which they arise. All derivatives are carried as assets when the fair values are positive and as liabilities when the fair values are negative.

Loans against policies

Loans against policies are valued at the aggregate of book values (net of repayments) plus capitalized interest and are subject to impairment, if any.

Impairment of investments

We assess on each balance sheet date, whether impairment other than temporary has occurred in its investments based on its investment policy.

An impairment loss shall be recognized as an expense in revenue/profit and loss account to the extent of the difference between the re-measured fair value of the investment and its acquisition cost as reduced by any previous impairment loss recognized as expense in revenue / profit and loss account.

However, at the balance sheet date if there is any indication that a previously recognized impairment loss no longer exists, then such loss is reversed in revenue / profit and loss account and the investment is reinstated to that extent.

Provision for non-performing assets

All assets where the interest and/or installment of principal repayment remains overdue for more than 90 days at the balance sheet date are classified as non-performing assets in the manner required by the IRDAI regulations on this behalf and adequate provisions are made.

Transfer of investments

Transfer of debt securities from Shareholders to Non-Linked Policyholders fund is transacted at the lower of net amortized cost or prevailing market value. Inter fund transfer of securities within the unit-linked funds are carried at prevailing market value.

Principal components of our Revenue Account - Policyholders Account (Technical Account)

Premium

Premium income includes premiums received by us from all individual and group customers and is classified into first year, renewal and single premium. First year premium refers to premiums received during the first year of the regular premium policies. Renewal Premium refers to premiums received during the years after the first year of the regular premium policies, until premium payment term is over or the policy lapses, whichever is earlier. Single premium refers to premiums received on single premium products and one-year renewable group term assurance policies and also includes top-up premiums, which are additional amounts of premiums that can be paid over and above basic premiums for unit-linked policies.

Reinsurance Ceded

Reinsurance ceded refers to the amount of reinsurance premium paid/payable to reinsurers in respect of the risk underwritten by them. Reinsurance ceded is shown as a deduction from premium.

Income from Investments

Income from investments refers to the income earned by policyholders funds on investments made in the Policyholders Account in accordance with IRDAI regulations and includes interest, dividend and rent income, profit/loss on sale/ redemption of investments, transfer/ gain on revaluation/change in fair value and amortization of premium/ discount on investments.

Income from investments from unit-linked policyholder investments is linked to market changes and can be quite volatile. The income from investments from unit-linked policyholder investments is directly attributable to policyholders and is reflected as a corresponding change in the unit reserves. Income from investments from nonparticipating and participating policyholder investments is relatively stable as it is mainly based on income of debt securities, which are not market-linked. Realization of gains/losses in investments from non-linked (participating and non-participating) policyholder investments can affect income from investments.

Other Income (Miscellaneous Income)

Other income (miscellaneous income) mainly comprises of interest on policy loans, income from unclaimed funds, and other miscellaneous income.

Commissions

This includes commission paid to intermediaries and our distributions partners for the purposes of sourcing new and renewal business premiums. As with premiums, commissions are classified into first year, renewal and single premium commissions.

Operating Expenses Related to Insurance Business

Benefits paid (net)

Benefits paid (net) include the payouts made by us against claims, upon policy maturity, surrenders and withdrawals, discontinuance termination, as well as interest on unclaimed amounts by policyholders. Benefits paid are disclosed net of amounts recoverable from reinsurers.

Change in valuation of liability in respect of life policies

Change in valuation of liability in respect of life policies represents the increase/decrease in policyholders liabilities during the relevant period. Policyholders liabilities are calculated using actuarial principles for all policies where a liability exists on valuation.

This increase was primarily due to an increase in employees remuneration and welfare benefits expenses. Employees remuneration and welfare benefits expenses increased from ?1,547.14 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to ?1,699.69 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to the increase in number of employees to support growth in our business operations as well as annual increments.

The variance is attributed to a decrease in surpluses in our non-linked non-participating life and non-linked participating products which has been partly offset by an increase in surplus in our linked non-participating products and non-linked non-participating pension products.

The table below provides our segmental surplus/ (deficit) net of transfer from shareholders account for the periods indicated:

Premiums earned - net increased by 13.24% from ?69,326.39 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?78,502.41 million in Fiscal 2025, primarily due to an increase in first year premiums and renewal premiums which was partially offset by a decrease in single premiums. The decrease in single premium business was primarily on account of lower premiums from fund-based group products as we had strategically decided to focus more on individual and group credit life products instead of group fund-based business.

Premium increased by 12.61% from ?71,287.01 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?80,274.62 million in Fiscal 2025. Reinsurance ceded decreased by 9.61% from ?(1,960.62) million in Fiscal 2024 to ?(1,772.21) million in Fiscal 2025. This decrease was primarily due to reinsurance rate reduction for PMJJBY business.

Income from Investments (Revenue Account)

Income from investments decreased by 42.70% from ?48,124.15 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?27,573.68 million in Fiscal 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in income from transfer/gain on revaluation/change in fair

value from ?22,776.43 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?(4,934.25) million in Fiscal 2025 owing to mark-to-market movement in respect of investments under unit-linked business where such gains/losses were borne by policyholders.

Other Income (Miscellaneous Income) (Revenue Account)

Other income increased by 53.58% from ?106.61 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?163.73 million in Fiscal 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest on policy loans and other miscellaneous income.

Operating expenses relating to insurance business increased by 6.29% from ?9,354.06 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?9,942.20 million in Fiscal 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase in employees remuneration and welfare benefits expenses from ?5,826.75 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?6,374.82 million in Fiscal 2025 largely driven by an increase in number of employees to support growth in our business operations as well as annual increments. Business development and sales promotion expenses increased from ?354.56 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?475.19 million in Fiscal 2025 primarily due to higher volume of business and an increase in training expenses from ?105.38 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?347.47 million in Fiscal 2025 due to an increase in employee count as well as enhanced focus on training. This was partially offset by a decrease in advertisement and publicity expenses from ?392.30 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?256.45 million in Fiscal 2025 and decrease in communication expenses from ?506.57 million in Fiscal 2024 to ?217.77 million in Fiscal 2025.

Change in valuation of policy liability decreased by 45.43% from ?70,947.56 million in Fiscal 2024 to ^38,715.15 million in Fiscal 2025.

Surplus (Revenue Account)

Surplus before transfer from/ to shareholders and to fund for appropriation increased from ?756.53 million in Fiscal 2024 to ^811.55 million in Fiscal 2025. This increase is attributed to an increase in surplus in our non-linked nonparticipating life products, non-linked participating products and linked non-participating pension products, which was partly offset by a decrease in surplus in our linked non-participating-life, non-linked non-participating - pension and health products.

Income from Investments (Profit and Loss Account)

Premiums earned - net decreased marginally by 1.38% from ?70,297.22 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?69,326.39 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily due to a decrease in single premiums which was marginally offset by an increase in first year premiums and Renewal Premiums. The decrease in single premium business was primarily on account of lower premiums from fund-based group products as we had strategically decided to focus more on individual and group credit life products instead of group fund-based business.

Premium decreased by 0.95% from ?71,973.83 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?71,287.01 million in Fiscal 2024. Reinsurance ceded increased by 16.94% from ?(1,676.61) million in Fiscal 2023 to ?(1,960.62) million in Fiscal 2024. This increase was primarily due to increase in premiums (excluding fund-based group premium which does not have any significant reinsurance risk and hence is not reinsured).

Income from Investments (Revenue Account)

Income from investments increased by 266.40% from ^13,134.39 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?48,124.15 million in Fiscal 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in income from transfer/gain on revaluation/change in fair value from ?(5,782.46) million in Fiscal 2023 to ?22,776.43 million in Fiscal 2024 which was caused by mark-to- market movement in respect of investments under unit-linked business where such gains/losses are borne by policyholders.

Other Income (Miscellaneous Income) (Revenue Account)

Other income increased by 116.25% from ?49.30 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?106.61 million in Fiscal 2024. This increase was due to an increase in interest on policy loans, investment income from unclaimed funds and other miscellaneous income.

Contribution from the Shareholders Account (Revenue Account)

In Fiscal 2023, there was a contribution from the Shareholders Account of ?64.03 million towards excess expenses of management in respect of few lines of businesses although the expenses were within the allowable limits at an overall level as well as separately for par and non-par business as per the prevailing regulations. In Fiscal 2024, the contribution was required to be made only if the expenses were higher than allowable limits at par and non-par level and since the actual expenses were within the allowable limit, no contribution was made from the Shareholders Account in Fiscal 2024 in line with the prevailing regulations.

Operating expenses relating to insurance business increased by 11.86% from ?8,362.29 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?9,354.06 million in Fiscal 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in employees remuneration and welfare benefits expenses from ?4,701.45 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?5,826.75 million in Fiscal 2024 primarily due to an increase in number of employees to support an increase in the size of our business operations as well as inflationary increases. This was partially offset by a decrease in advertisement and publicity expenses from ?609.28 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?392.30 million in Fiscal 2024. The higher expenses in Fiscal 2023 were due to promotional activities associated with our Companys name change to ‘Canara HSBC Life Insurance Company Limited.

Change in valuation of policy liability increased by 80.48% from ?39,309.82 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?70,947.56 million in Fiscal 2024.

Surplus (Revenue Account)

As a result of business operation, there was an increase in surplus before transfer from/ to shareholders and to fund for appropriation from ?152.75 million in Fiscal 2023 to ?756.53 million in Fiscal 2024. This increase can be attributed to an increase in surpluses in our non-linked non-participating life products, non-linked participating products and linked non-participating pension products, which was offset to an extent by a decrease in surplus in our linked non-participating-life and non-linked non-participating - pension and health products.
