  • Indian Accounting Standard 109 (Ind AS 109) – Financial instruments shall not be applicable except paragraphs relating to impairment. 
  1. For the purpose of this Schedule, the terms used herein shall have the same meanings as per applicable Indian Accounting Standards [Ind AS]. 
  1. Premium 

Premium shall be recognised as income when due. For linked business and business of similar nature, the due date for payment may be taken as the date when the associated units are created. 

  1. Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs, if any, shall be expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Acquisition costs are those costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal insurance contracts. The most essential test is the obligatory relationship between costs and the execution of insurance contracts (i.e., commencement of risk). 

  1. Claims Cost 

The ultimate cost of claims shall comprise the policy benefit amount and specific claims settlement costs, wherever applicable.

  1. Forward Exchange Contract

An insurer may enter into a Forward Exchange Contract or another financial instrument that is in substance a Forward Exchange Contract to establish the amount of the reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction. The premium or discount arising at the inception of such a Forward Exchange Contract shall be amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such a contract should be recognised in the Revenue Account or in the Statement of Profit and Loss Account in the reporting period, in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such a Forward Exchange Contract shall be recognised as income or as expense for the period. 

  1. Actuarial Valuation — Liability for Life Policies 

The estimation of liability against life policies shall be determined by the appointed actuary of the insurer pursuant to his annual investigation of the life insurance business. Actuarial assumptions are to be disclosed by way of notes to the accounts.

The liability shall be so calculated that together with future premium payments and investment income, the insurer can meet all future claims (including bonus entitlements to policyholders) and expenses.

  1. Procedure to determine value of investments 

An insurer shall determine the values of investments in the following manner:-

  1. a) Real Estate – Investment Property pertaining to policyholders’ fund– The value of investment property shall be determined at historical cost, subject to revaluation at least once in every three years and further subject to impairment provisions annually. The change in the carrying amount of the investment property shall be taken to Revaluation Reserve.

Gains/ losses arising due to changes in the carrying amount of real estate shall be taken to ‘Revaluation Reserve’ under Policyholders funds. The ‘Profit on Sale of Investments’ or ‘Loss on Sale ofInvestments’, as the case may be, shall include accumulated changes in the carrying amount previously recognised under ‘Revaluation Reserve’ in respect of a particular property and being recycled to the relevant Revenue Account on sale of that property.

The bases for revaluation shall be disclosed in the notes to accounts.   The Authority may issue directions specifying the amount to be released from the revaluation reserve to the revenue account for declaring bonus to the policyholders. For the removal of doubt, it is clarified that except for the amount that is released to policyholders as per the Authority’s direction, no other amount shall be distributed/transferred to shareholders out of Revaluation Reserve Account.

  1. b) Debt Securities–Debt securities, including government securities and redeemable preference shares, shall be considered as “held to maturity” securities and shall be measured at historical cost subject to amortisation and further subject to impairment provisions.
  1. c) Equity Securities and Derivative Instruments that are traded in active markets—Listed equity securities and derivative instruments that are traded in active markets shall be measured at fair value on the balance sheet date subject to impairment provisions. For the purpose of calculation of fair value, thelast quoted closing price at the stock exchange where the securities are primarily tradedshall be taken.

An active market shall mean a market, where the securities traded are homogenous, availability of willing buyers and willing sellers is normal and the prices are publicly available.

Unrealised gains/ losses arising due to changes in the fair value of listed equity shares and derivative instruments shall be taken to equity under the head ‘Fair Value Change Account”. The ‘Profit on sale of investments’ or ‘Loss on sale of investments’, as the case may be, shall include accumulated changes in the fair value previously recognised in equity under the heading ‘Fair Value Change Account’ in respect of a particular security and being recycled to the relevant Revenue Account or Statement of Profit and Loss on actual sale of that listed security.

The Authority may issue directions specifying the amount to be released from the Fair Value Change Account attributable to policyholders account to be revenue account for declaring bonus to the policyholders. For the removal of doubt, it is clarified that except for the amount that is released to policyholders as per the Authority’s prescription, no part of the amount so released shall be transferred to shareholders out of Fair Value Change Account.

Unlisted and other than actively traded Equity Securities and Derivative Instruments —Unlisted equity securities and derivative instruments and listed equity securities and derivative instruments that are not regularly traded in active markets shall be measured at historical cost subject to impairment provisions.

For the purposes of this regulation, a security shall be considered as being not actively traded, if as per guidelines governing mutual funds laid down from time to time by SEBI, such a security is classified as “thinly traded”.

The impairment loss referred to in (a), (b) and (c) above shall not be lower than the amounts derived on the basis of guidelines prescribed by the Authority.

  1. Loans 

Loans shall be measured at historical cost subject to impairment provisions

The impairment loss shall not be lower than the amounts derived on the basis of guidelines prescribed bythe Authority 

  1. Linked Business

The accounting principles used for valuation of investments are to be consistent with principles enumerated above.   A separate set of financial statements, for each segregated fund of the linked businesses, shall be annexed.

Segregated funds represent funds maintained in accounts to meet specific investment objectives of policyholders who bear the investment risk. Investment income/ gains and losses generally accrue directly to the policyholders. The assets of each account are segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the insurer. 

  1. Funds for Future Appropriation 

The funds for future appropriation shall be presented separately. The funds for future appropriation represent all funds, the allocation of which, either to the policyholders or to the shareholders, has not been determined by the end of the financial year.

  1. Preliminary Expenses 

Expenses incurred for incorporation of the company need to be written off in the year of incorporation to the Statement of Profit & Loss and any other expenses incurred on issue of equity share capital shall be shown as deduction from such paid up share capital.

  1. 13. No part of policyholders’ funds pertaining to a specific operating segment shall be applied directly or indirectly in any manner save in accordance with Insurance Act, 1938 and Regulations made thereunder or as expressly permitted by the Authority.
  1. Catastrophe Reserve 

Catastrophe reserve shall be created in accordance with norms, if any, prescribed by the Authority and shall form part of policyholders’ funds. Investment of funds out of catastrophe reserve shall be made in accordance with prescription of the Authority

  1. 15. (i) Schedules/Notes to accounts shall contain information in addition to that presented in the Financial Statements and shall provide where required (a) narrative descriptions or dis-aggregations of items recognised in those statements; and (b) information about items that do not qualify for recognition in those statements.

(ii) Each item on the face of the Balance Sheet, Revenue Account and Statement of Profit and Loss shall be cross-referenced to any related information in the notes/schedules to accounts. In preparing the Financial Statements including the notes/schedules to accounts, a balance shall be maintained between providing excessive detail that may not assist users of financial statements and not providing important information as a result of too much aggregation.

Policyholders funds = (i)+(ii)-(iii)

  1. Premium

Premium shall be recognised as income over the contract period or the period of risk, whichever is appropriate. In the case of reinsurance business, premium shall be recognised on the basis of contractual obligations, having regard to trends, and in consonance with the statements of ceding insurers.

 

A reserve for unexpired risks shall be created as the amount representing that part of the premium written which is attributable to, and to be allocated to the succeeding accounting periods.

 

Premium Received in Advance, which represents either  premium not relating to the current accounting period or premium received prior to the commencement of the risk, shall be shown separately under the head ‘Current Liabilities’ in the financial statements.

 

 

 

 

  1. Premium Deficiency

Premium deficiency shall be recognised, if the sum of expected claim costs based on trends and any other relevant factors and circumstances, related expenses and maintenance costs exceeds related reserve for unexpired risks.

 

The insurers shall compute and recognize the premium deficiency for each segment without off-setting between segments unless otherwise permitted by the Authority.  Any such premium deficiency has to be provided for by the insurer, irrespective of there being no deficiency on the overall global basis.

  1. Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs, if any, shall be expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Acquisition costs are those costs that vary with, and are primarily related to, the acquisition of new and renewal insurance/reinsurance contracts. The most essential test is the obligatory relationship between costs and the execution of insurance/re-insurance contracts (i.e. commencement of risk).

 

  1. Claims

The components of the ultimate cost of claims to an insurer comprise the claims under policies and specific claims settlement costs, where applicable. Claims under policies comprise the claims made for losses incurredand recorded  and those estimated or anticipated under the policies following a loss occurrence.

 

An estimated liability for outstanding claims shall be recognised in respect of both direct business and reinsurance business. The liability shall include: –

 

  • Future payments in relation to unpaid reported claims;
  • Claims Incurred but Not Reported (IBNR) including inadequate reserves [sometimes referred to as Claims Incurred but Not Enough Reported (IBNER)],

 

which will result in future cash/asset outgo for settling liabilities against those claims.

 

The accounting estimate shall also include claims cost adjusted for estimated salvage value, if there is sufficient degree of certainty of its realisation.

 

  1. Forward Exchange Contract

 

An insurer may enter into a Forward Exchange Contract or another financial instrument that is in substance a Forward Exchange Contract to establish the amount of the reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of a transaction. The premium or discount arising at the inception of such a Forward Exchange Contract shall be amortised as expense or income over the life of the contract. Exchange differences on such a contract should be recognised in the Revenue Account or in the Statement of Profit and Loss Account in the reporting period, in which the exchange rates change. Any profit or loss arising on cancellation or renewal of such a Forward Exchange Contract shall be recognised as income or as expense for the period

 

Actuarial Valuation of claim liability – in some cases

 

Claims made in respect of contracts where the claims payment period exceeds four years shall be recognised on an actuarial basis, subject to regulations that may be prescribed by the Authority. In such cases, certificate from a recognised actuary as to the fairness of liability assessment must be obtained.   Actuarial assumptions shall be suitably disclosed by way of notes to the account.

 

  1. Procedure to determine value of investments in other than investment property

 

An insurer shall determine the values of investments in other than investment property in the following manner:-

 

  1. a) Debt Securities–Debt securities, including government securities and redeemable preference shares, shall be considered as “held to maturity” securities and shall be measured at historical cost subject to amortisation and further subject to impairment provisions.

 

  1. b) Equity Securities and Derivative Instruments that are traded in active markets—Listed equity securities and derivative instruments that are traded in active markets shall be measured at fair value on the balance sheet date subject to impairment provisions. For the purpose of calculation of fair value, the last quoted closing price at the stock exchanges where the securities are primarily traded shall be taken.

 

An active market shall mean a market, where the securities traded are homogenous, availability of willing buyers and willing sellers is normal and the prices are publicly available.

 

Unrealised gains/ losses arising due to changes in the fair value of listed equity shares and derivative instruments shall be taken to equity under the head ‘Fair Value Change Account”. The ‘Profit on sale of investments’ or ‘Loss on sale of investments’, as the case may be, shall include accumulated changes in the fair value previously recognised in equity under the heading ‘Fair Value Change Account’ in respect of a particular security and being recycled to the relevant Revenue Account or Statement of Profit and Loss on actual sale of that listed security.

 

Any debit balance in the Fair Value Change account shall be reduced from free reserves or profit before declaring dividend to shareholders’.

 

Unlisted and other than actively traded Equity Securities and Derivative Instruments —Unlisted equity securities and derivative instruments and listed equity securities and derivative instruments that are not regularly traded in active markets shall be measured at historical cost subject to impairment provisions.

 

For the purposes of this regulation, a security shall be considered as being not actively traded, if as per guidelines governing mutual funds laid down from time to time by SEBI, such a security is classified as “thinly traded”.

 

The impairment loss referred to in (a) and (b) above shall not be lower than the amounts derived on the basis of guidelines prescribed by the Authority.

  1. 11.  Loans

Loans shall be measured at historical cost subject to impairment provisions.

 

The insurer shall assess the quality of its loan assets and shall provide for impairment. The impairment provision shall not be lower than the amounts derived on the basis of guidelines prescribed from time to time by the Authority.

 

12.Preliminary Expenses

 

Expenses incurred for incorporation of the company needs to be written off in the year of incorporation to the Statement of Profit & Loss and any other expenses incurred on issue of equity share capitalshall be shown as deduction from such paid up share capital.

 

  1. No part of policyholders’ funds pertaining to a specific operating segment shall be applied directly or indirectly in any manner save in accordance with Insurance Act, 1938 and Regulations made thereunder or as expressly permitted by the Authority
  2. Catastrophe Reserve — Catastrophe reserve shall be created in accordance with norms, if any, prescribed by the Authority and shall form part of policyholder’s funds. Investment of funds out of catastrophe reserve shall be made in accordance with prescription of the Authority.

 

15 (1). Schedules/Notes to accounts shall contain information in addition to that presented in the Financial Statements and shall provide where required (a) narrative descriptions or dis-aggregations of items recognised in those statements; and (b) information about items that do not qualify for recognition in those statements.

 

15 (2). Each item on the face of the Balance Sheet, Revenue Account and Statement of Profit and Loss shall be cross-referenced to any related information in the Schedules/Notes to accounts. In preparing the Financial Statements including the schedules/notes to accounts, a balance shall be maintained between providing excessive detail that may not assist users of financial statements and not providing important information as a result of too much aggregation.
