The principal inputs used in the establishment of the LFPB for the Traditional and Limited-Payment products include premiums, guaranteed benefits, and claim-related expense projected on the best estimate assumptions basis. The cash flows are discounted using upper-medium grade discount rate at the balance sheet date. The best estimate assumptions include mortality, persistency, morbidity and expenses.
For each of the periods ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, the net effect of changes in cash flow assumptions was primarily driven by updates in best estimate assumptions.
For each of the periods ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, the net effect of actual variances from expected experience was primarily driven by the difference between actual cash flows for premiums and benefits and those assumed in the calculation of LFPB.
The Bank’s gross premiums and interest accretion recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) for Traditional and Limited-Payment contracts, as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 are as follows:

Unearned Revenue Reserve:
URR is calculated for all long duration universal-life type or investment contracts, including single premium contracts. Amortization of URR is recorded in Premium and other operating income from insurance business in the consolidated statements of income. URR for universal-life type or investment contracts, including single premium contracts are generally deferred and amortized into income using the same assumptions and factors used to amortize DAC (i.e., on a constant level basis). Changes in future assumptions are applied by adjusting the amortization rate prospectively. The Company has elected to implicitly account for actual experience, whether favorable or unfavorable, in its amortization of URR (i.e., Premium and other operating income from insurance business) each period.
The following table presents a roll forward of URR:

Reinsurance:
The Bank has primarily two types of reinsurance treaties, auto and facultative reinsurance. The primary reason is to diversify the pool of risk covered by the insurance company, and to limit the liability along with ensuring solvency of the Bank. We remain liable to our policyholders regardless of whether our reinsurers meet their obligations under the reinsurance contracts, and as such, we regularly evaluate the financial condition of our reinsurers and monitor concentration of our credit risk.
The effect of all reinsurance agreements on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 are as follows:

Value of Business Acquired (VOBA):
VOBA, an intangible asset, has been valued as the difference between the estimated Fair Value of liabilities (“FVL”) and the carrying value of those same insurance contract liabilities. The FVL for the acquired business is derived as the sum of the best estimate of liabilities (“BEL”) and the risk margin (“RM”) calculated using the same best estimate assumptions as those used in deriving the Bank’s Indian embedded value (“IEV”) as at June 30, 2023. The carrying value of those same insurance contract liabilities is derived as the LFPB plus other liability items (reserves for unmodelled products, sales inducement liability, time value of options and guarantees, and additional reserves) less reinsurance recoverable. The LFPB is determined using actuarial methodologies as the present value of expected future policy benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and certain related expenses less the present value of expected future net premiums receivable under the Bank’s insurance contracts. Future policy benefits including bonuses paid to participating policyholders are calculated using actuarial assumptions and estimates such as mortality, morbidity, persistency and discount rates. Cash flow assumptions (mortality, morbidity and persistency) are established at the policy inception and are evaluated annually to determine if an update is needed. Discount rates used to calculate net premiums are locked in at the policy inception and represent the basis to recognize interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Discount rates used to measure the carrying value of the LFPB in the consolidated balance sheets are updated at each reporting period, and the difference between the liability balances calculated using the
locked-in
discount rates and the updated discount rates is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss). The Bank applies significant judgment in determining these assumptions and estimates.

VOBA is amortized on a constant level basis that approximates straight line amortization using the following amortization basis. This is the same as the basis of amortization used for DAC.
 
  i)
Traditional life insurance contracts and traditional life insurance limited payment contracts (other than annuity products)—Sum assured in force, as it provides a reasonable, stable, approximation to a straight-line amortization and is reflection of insurance in force.
 
  ii)
Annuity products—Number of policies in force, as it ensures straight line amortization.
 
  iii)
Universal life type contracts—Number of policies in force, as it ensures straight line amortization.
Information regarding the estimated future amortization of VOBA intangibles over the next five years is as follows:

The Bank amortizes DAC and VOBA on a ‘constant-level basis’ that approximates straight-line amortization on an individual contract basis sum assured for traditional products and number of policies
in-force
for universal life type, investment products and annuity products. The amortization amount is calculated using the same cohorts as the corresponding liabilities on a half-yearly basis, using an amortization rate that includes current period reporting experience and end of period persistency and longevity assumptions that are consistent with those used to measure the corresponding liabilities.
