In purchasing power parity (PPP) terms, India is now the world’s third largest economy with 6.4 percent share of global GDP
Strong macro economic prospects coupled with increasing working population and higher income levels presents a huge opportunity for financial services in India
India’s middle class expected to make India a sizeable savings-led and consumption-driven market, acting as the growth engine for the economy in the medium to long term
Stabilising real estate prices and the softening of gold prices shall help shift a proportion of domestic savings towards financial instruments
Key parameters growth forecast

Financial savings of household sector (Gross) FY13#
India ranked 15th out of 16 countries across Asia Pacific region in financial literacy. Increased financial awareness among people will lead to higher participation in financial products
Increasing life expectancy and shift towards nuclear families demands increasing focus on financial planning for retirement and protection needs
The long-term savings and protection offerings from the industry are unique among the competing product class. They will serve to increase the level of financial protection in the economy
The low penetration of life insurance at 3.2%^ of GDP in FY13 indicates promising growth prospects for the industry

Insurance industry opened to private sector in 2000 and garnered 57% market share in individual
WRP by FY09
Between FY09 and FY14, private sector slowed down with de-growth of 9% CAGR, while LIC
continued to grow at 7% CAGR resulting in a slide in the private sector’s market share
The industry had to continuously reinvent to stay relevant to customers and distributors due to the
pace & magnitude of regulatory changes
With stabilisation in product regime ensuring higher protection and onset of online channel, industry
is poised for steady growth in future

Appendix & Glossary
28
Appendix 1 : MCEV methodology and approach
MCEV methodology
The calculations of embedded value and new business profits have been performed using a market consistent embedded value (“MCEV”) approach. This approach differs from a traditional EV approach primarily in respect of the way in which allowance for risk is made.
Within the traditional EV approach allowance is made for risk through an increase in the risk discount rate used to value future shareholder cash flows, whilst within the MCEV calculation explicit separate allowances are made for risk.
Components of MCEV
There are two components to the MCEV:
1. Shareholders’ adjusted net worth –this component represents the market value of assets attributable to shareholders. This amount is derived from the Indian GAAP balance sheet adjusted to allow for assets on a market value basis, elimination of intangible assets and to allow for shareholder attributable assets or liabilities residing within the unit-linked and non Par policyholder funds.
2. Value of in-force –this component represents the discounted value of after tax shareholder attributable cashflows expected on the business as at the valuation date. No allowance is made for future new business. This amount has been adjusted to deduct allowances for non hedgeable risk, frictional costs of required capital and the time value of financial options and guarantees.
29
Appendix 2 : Components of value of in force (“VIF”)
30
Present value of future profits (“PVFP”)
This component has been calculated by discounting the projected future after tax shareholder attributable cash-flows expected to arise on in-force business at the valuation date. The cash-flows have been projected on a deterministic basis using the Company’s best estimate view of future persistency, mortality and expenses. Future investment returns and the risk discount rate have been set equal to the returns from the risk free (government bond) yield curve at the closing balance sheet date.
Time Value of Financial Options and Guarantees ("TVFOG")
The Company has regularly carried out analysis of the profile of guarantees in its Par funds to identify the level of guaranteed benefits occurring at future time periods. The investment strategy of the Par funds is re-set to enable, where possible, hedging of these guaranteed benefits through cashflow matching of the guarantees with fixed interest assets. As a result, the Company is of the view that there is no residual TVFOG associated with the Par funds.
The cost associated with the investment guarantees in the unit linked funds has been allowed for in the PVFP calculation.
Frictional Costs of Required Capital (“FCRC”)
The VIF allows for a deduction in respect of the frictional costs of holding required capital (“FCRC”). Required capital has been set equal to the amount of shareholder attributable assets required to back local regulatory
solvency requirements. The FCRC has been calculated as the discounted value of investment costs and taxes on shareholder attributable assets backing the required capital over the lifetime of the in-force business.
Cost of non hedgeable risk (“CNHR”)
The VIF incorporates an explicit deduction to allow for non hedgeable and non economic risks. The CNHR has been derived using a cost of capital approach and is calculated as the discounted value of an annual charge applied to projected risk bearing capital.
The initial risk bearing capital has been calculated based on 99.5th percentile stress events for non economic assumptions over a 1-year time horizon. This initial risk bearing capital has been updated based on the portfolio of business as at 31st March 2013.
Projected risk bearing capital has been determined by running-off the initial risk bearing capital in line with the expected movement in the regulatory solvency margin requirement.
99.5th Percentile stress events have been taken from the EU Solvency II, QIS 5 framework (previously QIS 4 framework). In order to allow for the greater risks associated with emerging markets, the risk bearing capital has been uplifted by 50%.
The annual charge applied to the projected risk bearing capital is 4% p.a.
The stress events, uplifts to NHR, run-off pattern for projected risk bearing capital and annual charge, are reviewed and modified if necessary on an annual basis.
Expenses
Maintenance expenses have been based on the latest expense analysis done in FY13 and are inflated at 7.5% per annum. These assumptions do not incorporate any allowance for future productivity improvements.
Given the substantial changes in regulations, the Company has reviewed its cost structure, as a result of which the long-term acquisition expense levels have been calibrated at a level lower than that used earlier. These new long-term acquisition expense levels, as approved by the committee of Board, have been incorporated into the pre-overrun margins.
Economic assumptions
The closing MCEV is calculated assuming projected earned and risk discount rates are both set equal to the risk free (government bond) yield curve at the closing balance sheet date.
The new business profitability is calculated with similar assumptions, except that the yield curve at the opening balance sheet date is used.
No allowance for any illiquidity premia is made within the earned rates, except for group credit spread products.
Mortality and morbidity
Mortality and morbidity assumptions are set by product line and are based on past experience.
Persistency
Persistency assumptions are set by product line, payment mode and duration in-force, based on past experience and expectations of future experience. Separate decrements are modeled for lapses, surrenders, paid-ups and partial withdrawals.
Tax assumptions
Tax assumptions are based on interpretation of existing tax legislation, where appropriate supported by legal opinion.
Profits attributable to shareholders are assumed to be taxed at 14.16% for Life business and 0% for Pensions business.
Allowance is made within the tax computation for dividend offsets permitted under Section 2A of the Income Tax Act and for losses incurred within the Shareholder Fund.
No allowance is made for future changes to taxation such as the Direct Tax Code. These changes will be incorporated only once materially enacted. It is expected that implementation of DTC in its current form will result in a material negative impact to the MCEV and new business profitability.

Analysis of change in MCEV
Opening modeling, assumptions and methodology changes: The models, assumptions and methodology are continuously refined and improved and the impact of these refinements is reflected in the opening changes.
Expected return on inforce: This item reflects expected investment income on shareholder assets during the period, and reflects that future shareholder profits are closer than at the start of the period. This positive item will occur in each MCEV period.
Operating Variances: The Operating Variances capture the impact of the deviations of the actual claims, persistency and maintenance expense experience during the period from that assumed in the opening MCEV calculation.
Investment variances and change in economic assumptions: This reflects the impact due to the actual investment return being different from the expected returns and the impact from the change in the yield curve at the end of the period compared to the yield curve at
the start of the period.

Commission ratio – Ratio of total commissions paid out on first year, single and renewal premiums to total premiums. Conservation ratio – Ratio of current year renewal premiums to previous year’s renewal premium and first year premium. APE (Annualized Premium Equivalent) – The sum of annualized first year regular premiums and 10% weighted single premiums and single premium top-ups. First year premiums – Regular premiums received during the year for all modes of payments chosen by the customer which are still in the first year. For example, for a monthly mode policy sold in March 2013, the first installment would fall into first year premiums for 2012-13 and the remaining 11 installments in the first year would be first year premiums in 2013-14. New business received premium – The sum of first year premium and single premium. Operating expense – All expenses of management excluding service tax. It does not include commission. Operating expense ratio – Ratio of operating expenses (excluding service tax) to total premiums. Renewal premiums – Regular recurring premiums received after the first year. Solvency ratio – Ratio of available solvency margin to required solvency margins. Total premiums – Total received premiums during the year including first year, single and renewal premiums for individual and group business. Weighted received premium (WRP) – The sum of first year premium and 10% weighted single premiums and single premium top-ups. 13th month persistency – Percentage of contracts, measured by premium, still in force 13 months after they have been issued.
