Birla Sun Life Insurance

Journey to empowerment

At BSLI, we believe that empowering our stakeholders with nancial


security is a not just a journey, but our ultimate destination. This year, as
an organisation, we have embarked on this unique journey towards building
a trust surplus organisation by empowering the lives of customers, advisors
and employees.

Over the last few years, the insurance industry has undergone drastic
changes. Changes in the regulatory environment in particular have had a
signicant impact on the development of the industry. Consumer awareness
and protection has been a critical part of the regulatory agenda. At BSLI,
we are conscious of the fact that a long term sustainable business model is
crucial towards achieving sustainable growth.

Thus began our journey to explore new avenues, to see endless possibilities,
to experience the change in the route that leads us to newer horizons, and to
shape numerous dreams into reality. It is undoubtedly the road less travelled
towards a world of new possibilities.

Our approach is clear. Our journey requires the right companions (People),
a navigation in the right direction (Process), and the eventual destination
(winning the trust of our Customers). The key is to empower our people,
strengthen our processes and serve our customers, thus developing a strong
partnership of long term success.

Directors Report for the year ended March 31, 2015

Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of your Board of Directors, I present the fifteenth Annual Report, together with the Audited Statement of Accounts, of Birla Sun Life
Insurance Company Limited (the Company/BSLI) for the year ended March 31, 2015.

1. INDUSTRY & BUSINESS PERFORMANCE


Macro-economic conditions and regulatory changes have influenced the performance of Life Insurance Industry, shifting the priorities of Life
Insurers and driving the following key business trends:
In Individual life, LIC registered a 26% YoY de-growth in FY15, leading to decrease in its market share from 63% in FY14 to 53% in
FY15. The private sector grew by 16% in FY15. The combined market share of top four private insurance players increased from 22%
in FY14 to 31% in FY15, on the back of their captive Bancassurance channel.
Total Number of customer of all Insurance players (including LIC) declined by 37% over previous year. Even among the private insurance
players, the number of customers declined by 10% YoY, and the growth in new business premium was largely driven through higher
average premium per policy.
Bancassurance continues to grow, and has become the largest distribution channel in the private sector. While, share of sales by the
corporate agents and brokers continued to shrink, the direct channel showed significant growth during the year.
Positive equity sentiment on the back of a stable Government at the Centre and easing of inflation caused a shift in consumer preference
towards unit linked products.
In Group Life, market share of private insurance players increased from 32% in FY14 to 39% in FY15, with the top five private insurance
players contributing 29% of the group sales in FY15. The growth was mostly attributable to the private insurance players gaining
foothold in PSU and Mega customers segments where traditionally LIC has been the leading insurer.
Outlook for FY16 in terms of new business growth is positive due to recovery in GDP growth, easing of inflation, buoyant capital markets and
the Governments moves to encourage financial savings. Recent regulatory changes such as the easing of FDI limits in insurance can help
attract more capital to the insurance sector.
Your Company has taken several steps during the Year to transform its model for engagement with its customers and distributors. Overall, BSLI
has transitioned well in terms of its product strategy leading to a balanced suite of participating and non-participating products both traditional
and unit-linked. Your Company is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities which the sector will offer in the next 3-5 years.

Your Company recorded satisfactory performance in FY15 across a range of key financial parameters:
The Company recorded new business premium of ` 1,938 crores in FY15 as compared to ` 1,697 crores in FY14. The Group Business
recorded new business premium of ` 1,177 crores in FY15, a growth of 44% over FY14.
Renewal premium at ` 3,295 crores was higher by 5% in FY15 as compared to previous year. BSLI will continue to focus on managing
its substantial in-force book and on improving persistency levels, which is important to deliver value from our existing book.
Traditional products accounted for 61% of sales in FY15 as compared to 59% in FY14. This was on account of continued focus on
improving the product mix.
The Company registered Net Profit of ` 285 crores for the year as compared to ` 370 crores in the previous year. The fall in net profit
was primarily due to lower profits from the inforce book especially the ULIP block sold before September 2010. The Company continues
its focus on profitability through better management of in-force business, driving right product mix, optimisation of expenses and
building efficiencies in distribution.
The Opex to Premium ratio has improved from 21.6% in FY14 to 18.6% in FY15.
Solvency margin at 2.05 for FY15 against the regulatory requirement of 1.5 indicates the Companys stable financial position.
With a robust operating platform, strong trusted brand and long term commitment towards life insurance business, the Company is well
positioned to meet the challenges and to tap the long term opportunities of the life insurance industry.

Summary of Operations and Business


BSLI continues to follow a successful multi-channel distribution strategy with 488 branches, around 90,600 Agents, 4 key bank
partners and 151 third party distributors.
Post the Oct. 2013 regulatory changes, the Company has moved to a balanced sales mix of participating/non-participating traditional
products and ULIP products. The Agency channel continues to be the Companys largest distribution channel contributing to over two
third of our individual business with New Business premium of ` 519 crores.
In FY15, the focus has been on implementing a new distribution model built around customer discovery, customer engagement and
solution fulfillment. The channel took significant steps towards digitisation by launching 2 new platforms My Solutions (Tablet based
platform to offer solutions to customers) and Empower@ease virtual office for sales managers and our Advisors.
The FY15 was marked by the exit of a major bancassurance relationship for the Company Citibank N.A. The 14 years relationship
with Citibank ended due to its global insurance tie-up with another larger global Insurer. Bancassurance channel delivered first year
premium of ` 143 crores. The recent draft guidelines by IRDA on open architecture for corporate agents are expected to provide the
Company with access to several opportunities for tie-ups with Banks. Our priorities for the channel moving forward will be to harvest
existing partners growing customer base and tapping new opportunities from the open architecture model.
First year premium from Corporate Agent & Brokers and other channels in FY15 was ` 84 crores. Sales from this segment were lower
compared to previous year due to initiatives taken to improve the quality of business. Going forward the focus will be on a few existing
strategic tie-ups and addition of new strategic capacities, even while continuing efforts to improve the quality of business.
Group Business registered a 44% YoY growth with first year premium of ` 1,177 crores in FY15. This came from improvement in
product lines across risk and fund based products and increasing our penetration across geographies & customer segments. This line
of business continues to be profitable for the Company.
During the year under review, the Company launched several new products
Online Term offering: BSLI Protect@Ease
Non-Participating Traditional products: BSLI Guaranteed Future
Participating Traditional products: BSLI Vision Moneyback Plus, BSLI Vision Star Child, and BSLI Vision Endowment Plus
Unit Linked products: BSLI Fortune Elite
Products under Rural and Group platform were also launched
Assets under Management (AUM) grew from ` 24,775 crores in FY14 to ` 30,185 crores in FY15. For unit-linked funds, Company
has delivered superior fund performance consistently beating its benchmarks. 100% of the funds outperformed their respective
benchmark over the long-term (across 2-4 years). 100% of the funds also outperformed their benchmark over the 5 year period ending
March 31, 2015.
The Companys continued quality initiatives such as pre-issuance verification calls, pre-issuance joint declaration from policy holder,
and quality agreements with distributors to drive the right sales behaviour and reduce first premium lapse, have started showing
positive results as the 13 month premium persistency was improved to 62% in FY15 from 59% in FY14.
With the focus on implementing the new distribution model of the Company and improving its customer-facing processes including
customer service and distribution support, the Company has launched Protection Counseling tool, which helps in determining the
financial needs of the customer as per his/her profile, thereby engaging the customer and building trust surplus.
Proactive measures have been undertaken to strengthen compliance and risk management functions given the Companys focus to
maintain robust internal controls, mitigate risks and improve sales conduct and thereby maintain the reputation of being one of most
compliant insurance companies in an environment of increasing regulatory oversight.

Birla Sun Life Insurance

Directors Report for the year ended March 31, 2015

Our investment in branding yielded good results with both brand awareness as well as consideration scores (i.e. likelihood of prospective
customers to purchase a policy) showing improvements to an all-time high. Going forward strength of the BSLI brand is expected
to become more important and we continue to strengthen our brand performance through an optimal mix of above-the-line and
below-the-line activities.

Outlook for the Industry and Company


In the last few years, general market conditions have been difficult for sale of life insurance savings products. Factors included lackluster
equity markets, high interest rates, high inflation rates, and preference of customers towards physical savings over financial savings. Recent
changes in the external environment including stable government at the centre, optimistic outlook on GDP growth, easing of inflation and
buoyant capital markets augur well for the industry. India already has several structural advantages in terms of favourable demographics and
high rate of savings. The above positive sentiment in the external environment will definitely provide a fillip to the growth and expansion of the
industry. The recent regulatory changes such as The Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act, 2015 and Draft Registration of Corporate Agent (CA)
Regulations, 2015 are expected to provide more balanced growth opportunity for all the players in the Insurance industry.

Birla Sun Life Insurance

Directors Report for the year ended March 31, 2015

The Committee will be called upon from time to time to enable the Board to decide on appointment and removal of Executives. The
Committee is expected to exercise due diligence, professional judgment and prudence in this process. In discharging its responsibilities, the
Committee will be supported by the Group Human Resources - Rewards and Benefits team of the Aditya Birla Group, who are independent of
the companies. In addition the Committee will have resources, authority and adequate funding to appoint external consultants.
5. Group Context
The Aditya Birla Group is a conglomerate and it is designed in a manner such that there is sharing of resources and infrastructure so that
there is a uniformity of business processes, systems thereby promoting synergies and exemplary customer experiences. In order to do there
are multiple entities within the group who provide such services. The manpower costs of these services are at arms length and arise in the
normal course of business. The details of the Group Context and its implications on Compensation programs are appended in Annexure 1
of this document.
Annexure 1: Aditya Birla Group Context
The Aditya Birla Group (ABG) is structured in a way such that:
1. Multiple Lines of Business (LOBs) coalesce under one legal entity
2. Multiple legal entities merge into a single LOB
3. One LOB is represented by a single legal entity (e.g. - Idea Cellular, Hindalco Industries, etc.)
This combination of business and legal structures have created a network of organisations who exemplify the concept of the Aditya Birla Group as
a conglomerate. This network enables individual entities to achieve economies of scale, sharing of resources, infrastructure and costs. In order to
understand the Groups philosophy and construct of compensation programs its important to recognise the salient features emanating out of the
structure which have an impact on compensation program design.
A. Synergy and Shared Infrastructure
In case of 1 and 2 above ABG companies utilise shared resources to ensure the uniformity of business processes, systems, promote synergies and
exemplary customer experience. The costs of implementing these processes (including manpower costs) are shared across these entities on an
arms length basis and arise in the normal course of business.
B. Specialist Services from the Groups Centre
A key enabler to businesses performance are world class specialist services provided from the Groups centre.
The Group centre hosts a number of Group Functions or Centres of Excellences (COEs). These COEs are instrumental in promoting specialist
services, processes and knowledge sharing across the Group. To achieve economies of scale, many of the businesses have interconnectivity
among themselves in terms of sharing of resources, infrastructure and costs. These services are provided strictly on arms length basis and in the
ordinary course of business.
C. People Advantage
The conglomerate structure enables the Group and its entities to attract and retain the best of talent by leveraging its Employer Brand. Employee
mobility, talent fungibility are the key propositions of the Employer Brand.
In order to leverage its talent pool, ABG compensation programs are governed by common principles and frameworks which are customised for
each sector. In addition Compensation programs are managed by an internal governance process which are applicable to every ABG entity.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is encouraged to take into account the three elements (A to C) above as part of its deliberations.

Executive Remuneration Philosophy


At the Aditya Birla Group, we expect our executive team to foster a culture of growth and entrepreneurial risk-taking. Our Executive Compensation
Philosophy supports the design of programs that align executive rewards including incentive programs, retirement benefit programs, promotion
and advancement opportunities with the long-term success of our stakeholders. Our reward programs recognise and reward executives who
display initiative, deliver superior individual performance, and contribute to sustainable corporate and business success.
Our business and organisational model
Our Group is a conglomerate and organised in a manner such that there is sharing of resources and infrastructure. This results in uniformity
of business processes and systems thereby promoting synergies and exemplary customer experiences.
I. Objectives of the Executive Remuneration Program
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain, and reward talented executives who will contribute to our long-term
success and thereby build value for our shareholders.
Our executive compensation program is intended to:
1. Provide for monetary and non-monetary remuneration elements to our executives on a holistic basis

45 | ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15

2014_BSLI AR_Financial_Part 1.indd 45 11/10/15 3:59:04 PM


Directors Report for the year ended March 31, 2015

2. Emphasize Pay for Performance by aligning incentives with business strategies to reward executives who achieve or exceed Group,
business and individual goals.
II. Covered Executives
Our Executive Compensation Philosophy applies to those executives whose remuneration is subject to the approval of the Nomination &
Remuneration Committee. The covered executives are as follows:
1. Director: Defined as per the Act
2. Key Managerial Personnel: CFO, CS, any others CEO equivalent (ex: Deputy Managing Director)
3. Senior Management: Job Band 1 and above and all other employees as defined by the Act, Section (178)
III. Business and Talent Competitors
We benchmark our executive pay practices and levels against peer companies in similar industries, geographies and of similar size. In
addition to this, we look at secondary reference (internal and external) benchmarks in order to ensure that pay policies and levels
across the Group are generally equitable internally and support the Groups global mobility objectives for executive talent. The additional
reference points may take into account the executive pay practices and pay levels in other markets and industries, recognising the differences
in levels and medium of pay.
IV. Executive Pay Positioning
We aim to provide competitive remuneration opportunities to our executives by positioning target total remuneration (including perks and
benefits, annual incentive pay-outs, long term incentive pay-outs at target performance) and target total cash compensation (including annual
incentive pay-outs) at target performance directionally between median and top quartile of the primary talent market. We recognise the
size and scope of the role and the market standing, skills and experience while positioning our executives.
We use secondary market data only as a reference point for determining the types and amount of remuneration while principally believing
that target total remuneration packages should reflect the typical cost of comparable executive talent available in the sector.
V. i. Executive Pay-mix
Our executive pay-mix aims to strike the appropriate balance between key components: (i) Fixed Cash compensation (Basic
Salary + Allowances) (ii) Annual Incentive Plan (iii) Long-Term Incentives (iv) Perks and Benefits.
ii. Performance Goal Setting
We aim to ensure that for both annual incentive plans and long term incentive plans, the target performance goals shall be achievable
and realistic.
T hreshold performance (the point at which incentive plans are paid out at their minimum, but non-zero, level) shall reflect a base-line
level of performance, reflecting an estimated 90% probability of achievement.
Target performance is the expected level of performance at the beginning of the performance cycle, taking into account all known
relevant facts likely to impact measured performance.
Maximum performance (the point at which the maximum plan payout is made) shall be based on an exceptional level of achievement,
reflecting no more than an estimated 10% probability of achievement.
VI. i. Performance Measurement
Annual Incentive Plan:
We tie annual incentive plan pay-outs of our executives to relevant financial and operational metrics achievement and their
individual performance. We annually align the financial and operational metrics with priorities/focus areas for the business.
Long-Term Incentive:
Our Long-term incentive plans incentivise stretch performance, link executive remuneration to sustained long term growth and act
as an attraction and retention tool.
We use stock options as the primary long-term incentive vehicle for our executives as we believe that they best align executive
incentives with stockholder interests.
We grant restricted stock units, as a secondary long term incentive vehicle, to motivate and retain our executives.
ii. Executive Benefits and Perquisites
Our executives are eligible to participate in our broad-based retirement, health and welfare, and other employee benefit plans. In
addition to these broad-based plans, they are eligible for other benefits plans commensurate with their roles. These benefits are
designed to encourage long-term careers with the Group. They are also eligible for certain perquisites with each perquisite serving
a clear business purpose or need.

Directors Report for the year ended March 31, 2015

Other Remuneration Elements


Each of our executives is subject to an employment agreement. Each such agreement generally provides for a total remuneration
package for our executives.
We limit other remuneration elements, for e.g. Change in Control (CIC) agreements, severance agreements, to instances of compelling
business need or competitive rationale and we do not provide for any tax gross-ups for our executives.
Risk and Compliance
We aim to ensure that the Group's remuneration programs do not encourage excessive risk taking. We review our remuneration
programs for factors such as
1. Remuneration mix overly weighted towards annual incentives
2. Uncapped pay-outs
3. Unreasonable goals or thresholds
4. Steep pay-out cliffs at certain performance levels that may encourage short-term decisions to meet pay-out thresholds
Claw back Clause:
In an incident of restatement of financial statements due to fraud or non-compliance with any requirement of the Companies Act 2013
and the rules made thereafter, we shall recover from our executives the remuneration received in excess of what would be payable to
him/her as per restatement of financial statements the executives is obligated to pertaining to the relevant performance year.
Implementation
The Group and Business Centre of Expertise teams will assist the Nomination & Remuneration Committee in adopting, interpreting
and implementing the Executive Remuneration Philosophy. The costs of these services will be established through arms length,
market-based agreements entered into as needs arise in the normal course of business.

LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, PERFORMANCE & TREND


Industry Structure and Competitive Position Overview
T he growth of the insurance industry in the past one and a half decades has seen varied phases of growth. In the first decade before the
September 2010 ULIP regulations, the industry grew aggressively as a result the insurance penetration increased from 2.7% in 2001 to 5.2%
in 2009. Post the September 2010 regulations on products, the industry has seen a period of de-growth and resultant reduction in insurance
penetration to 3.2% in 2013.
T he reasons for the Industrys weak performance has been due to an inter play of various variables over the past 3-4 years including weak
macro-economic conditions, regulatory changes, high inflation, shift in product mix and uncertainty around new product launches.
T he market share of LIC and top 7 private insurance players, has broadly remained the same from FY10 to FY15. LIC market share which had
increased from 53% in FY10 to 63% in FY14, again reduced to 53% in FY15. The market share of top 7 private insurance players declined
from 37% in FY10 to 27% in FY14, again increased to 35%, in FY15. Given their distribution, brand strength and product expertise, the top 7
private insurance players re-gained ground in FY15.

As at the end of the FY15, BSLIs market share stood at 7.6% amongst private insurance players, (previous year: 7.6%). BSLI has transitioned
well in terms of its product strategy and has launched several new products to have a balanced mix of Participating, Non-Participating and
Unit linked products.

Industry Performance for FY 2015


While the overall life insurance industry showed negative growth in 2015, the private sector registered a growth of more than 15% in FY15.
The growth in private sector was largely driven through
Players having large private banks as bancassurance partners
Change in economic environment leading to revival of appetite for savings in financial products
Shift in product mix towards ULIPs leading to higher premium per policy
Focus on productivity of Sales Force through improved sales management methods and techniques
Increasing penetration of Digital Channels
However, the sector continued to show decline in customer acquisition and growth in new business premium was largely driven through
higher average premium per policy.

REGULATORY & STATUTORY CHANGES IMPACTING INDUSTRY


The Insurance Laws Amendment Act, 2015
The Parliament enacted the Insurance Laws Amendment Act, 2015 to amend the Insurance Act, 1938. The following were the key changes:-
Increase in the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) limit from 26% to 49%. This will strengthen the financial standing of the Industry and help in
bringing foreign capital and global best-practices.
Disallowing the repudiation of all claims coming after three years of the date of policy issuance.
Abrogation of the Sections 40 and 40A relating to limitation of payment of commission to agents, and Section 40B relating to limitation
of expenses of an insurance company. This will help the insurers bridge operational difficulties and aid them in scaling up their business.
The bill recognises E-form of policies thus facilitating further impetus on demat form of insurance policies which makes storage and
retrieval of insurance policies easy.
Opportunities
We believe that the following trends characterise the Indian economy and augur well for the life insurance industry:
Improving macro-economic indicators: India is projected to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world on a long term basis. This
augurs well for the industry as better economic growth will lead to higher household savings and within that pie of financial and insurance
savings will also increase.
Lower per capita insurance and penetration: The Indian life insurance industry has expanded significantly in terms of premiums since
liberalisation in 2000. However, its total premium collection to GDP ratio and per capita insurance is significantly lower than the developed
countries. India has one of the lowest insurance densities in the world, at USD 41.4 much lower than other developing countries such as USD
110.6 in China, USD 1,821.3 in South Korea and USD 791.9 in South Africa.
Increased distribution penetration: There is significant opportunity to increase the distribution reach within the country with the implementation
of proposed draft open architecture for corporate agents and Banks. The governments initiative on Financial Inclusion coupled with opening
up of Bancassurance and new models of distribution will provide opportunities for a more equitable growth across customer segments
including rural segments.
Pension Segment: There is an opportunity to explore underpenetrated and underinsured segments including retirement/health. There are
several product/customer segments in India that have a high potential to grow. For example, only about 15% of the working population
is covered under retirement plans. Penetrating in these segments will bring in more avenues for insurance companies to penetrate their
customer base.
Role of Digital: With the total numbers of internet users increasing to more than 20% of the total population of India (280 Mn), the size of the
digital opportunity has increased manifold. The industry has been making rapid strides to leverage this opportunity. The industry is working
extensively on reviewing its operating models to accelerate digitisation of their processes and platforms. The digital wave will lead to better
customer experience, higher customer engagement and increased productivity. The share of online platforms to directly distribute simple
and easy to understand life insurance products will continue to increase at a rapid pace for the next 5-7 years.
BSLI is well positioned to tap into the opportunities of the life insurance industry. The Company is expected to emerge stronger on the back of its
wide distribution franchise, a successful multi-channel strategy, a long history of product innovations & operational efficiency.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
Sales Performance Review & Market Share Movement
As on March 31, 2015, BSLIs nationwide reach encompassed 488 branches, an agency force of over 90,600 empanelled agents, tie-ups with
around 150 non-bank corporate agents, brokers & business associates and 4 key bank partners.
The Company maintained its market share at 7.6% in FY15 in terms of new business premium. The Company recorded first year premium of
` 19,379 Mn. (growth of 14% over last year). The Company maintained its overall position at No. 6 among the private insurance players in terms
of new business premium.
The Company continues to follow a multi-channel strategy for its Individual Life Business. While the Agency channel continues to hold the major
share, the other channels like Bancassurance, Corporate Agents & Brokers and Direct Marketing contributed more than 30% of Individual Life sales
in FY15. The Company continues to review its portfolio of distribution partners on an ongoing basis to drive long term quality business.

The Company achieved total gross premium of ` 5,233 crores, a growth of 8% Y-o-Y. This was driven by 44% growth Y-o-Y in group
business premium.
The Company registered Net Profit of ` 285 crores in FY15 as against ` 370 crores in FY14. The fall in net profit is primarily due to lower
profits from in-force book especially the ULIP block sold before September 2010. Overall Commission ratio saw a marginal decrease to 4.5%
in FY15 as against 4.9% in FY14.
The company continues to focus on operating and cost efficiencies. While the total operating costs reduced from ` 1,045 crores in FY14 to
` 996 crores in FY15, the Opex to total premium ratio has reduced from 21.6% to 19% over the same period.
Given the robust financial performance and solvency position, there has been no capital infusion for the past 4 years.
We believe that the Companys profitable journey is sustainable as these profits are primarily driven by in force business, declining expense
ratios and changes in product structures. The Company took several steps to rationalise expenses, improve efficiencies and productivity across
its operations.

shall continue to focus on its core strategy i.e. to focus on a profitable product mix while providing value-added proposition to its customers.

FINANCIAL CONDITIONS & ASSET UNDER MANAGEMENT


Share Capital, Dividend and Solvency Position
The Company is capitalised at ` 2,169 crores (including share premium and capital redemption reserves). Given the robust financial performance,
there has been no capital infusion for the last four years. The net-worth of the Company increased by 23% from ` 1,257 crores in FY14 to
` 1,542 crores in FY15.
Solvency refers to the minimum surplus that an insurance Company needs to keep aside in the form of additional capital to meet any unprecedented
increase in claims and to meet any adverse losses. As solvency needs to be maintained over very long periods for which policies are written it
is necessary to ensure that the assets exceed liabilities and are invested in risk-free assets. The Regulations prescribes that each insurance
Company must have free assets equal to 1.5 times of the required solvency margin. Our solvency margin in FY15 is at 2.05 times which was above
the regulatory requirements of 1.5 times. It also ensures that the Companys stakeholders and customers can have confidence in the Companys
long-term financial strength.
Human Resources
Employee Engagement BSLI engages effectively with its employees critical to building and sustaining a high-performing business and retaining
talent. Engagement initiative schemes were introduced in branches across the country which included celebrations, festivals, recreational and sport
activities, recognitions, etc. Additionally, Rewards and Recognition programme was initiated which was aimed at creating a culture of recognising
and celebrating performance at multiple levels across the organisation & group in addition to as well as across for individuals & teams.
Training & Development The Sales & Corporate Training Cell provides training architecture for structured and systematic learning from trainer,
supervisor and by self, improve retention, application of learning and improve discipline in participation.

BRAND PERFORMANCE
During FY15, Birla Sun Life Insurance launched its new Brand Positioning. The Brand Position was arrived at basis a core category need and with
an objective of becoming not just a marketing position but a position that the entire business would stand for the next decade if not more.
The Core Category need identified was that despite the efforts of 20+ insurance companies and over 2 million agents the category has a low
penetration of 4% of GDP. This is because the category has not been able to convincingly answer one fundamental question What role do we play
in the consumers life? Is Life Insurance a mode of saving, an avenue of investment, a protection solution or a tax saving instrument?
We at BSLI believe that we are in the business of protecting those we love and their dreams.
Therefore the Brand Position:
Honi ko aap rok nahin sakte
Par honi bhi aapko kahan rok sakegi.
Apno ko, apne sapno ko kar surakshit
KHUD KO KAR BULAND
The response to the new Brand Position has been extremely encouraging from both ends business partners and consumers.
Despite the fact that our key competitors were present on Television through the year but BSLI did not spend on Mass Media in the first three
quarters, we saw a sharp rise in our spontaneous awareness and consideration scores post the break of the campaign. BSLIs spontaneous
awareness scores increased by 9 points to reach 48% and our consideration scores increased by 7 points to reach 32%.

TECHNOLOGY
Technology led innovations and strategic partnership with business have been the key focus areas of BSLI Information technology function in
FY15. The role of technology has revved up from being a business facilitator to collaborator, by aid of best-in-class technological solutions and
infrastructure.

Risk Management Framework


A. Risk Management Framework
The Company has an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework covering procedures to identify, assess and mitigate the key business
risks. Aligned with the business planning process, the ERM framework covers all business risks including strategic risk, operational risks,
investment risks, insurance risks and catastrophic risks. The key business risks identified are approved by the Boards Risk Management
Committee and monitored by the Risk Management team thereafter.
The Company also has in place an Operational Risk Management (ORM) framework that supports excellence in business processes, system
and facilitates matured business decisions to move to a proactive risk assessment and is in the process of implementing the key operational
risk components.
BSLI recognises that information is a critical business asset, and that our ability to operate effectively and succeed in a competitive
market depends on our ability to ensure that business information is protected adequately through appropriate controls and proactive
measures. Accordingly, BSLI has an information security framework that ensures all the information assets are safeguarded by establishing
comprehensive management processes throughout the organisation.
The Companys Investments Function is governed by the Investment Committee and the Asset Liability Management Committee appointed
by the Board of Directors. Investment Policy and Operating Guidelines laid down by the Board provide the framework for management and
mitigation of the risks associated with investments. Asset Liability Policy and various ALM strategies are adopted to ensure adequate Asset
Liability Management. These policies are reviewed at frequent intervals by the respective Board Committees and approved by the Board
where required.
BSLI has a robust Business Continuity framework to ensure resumption of time sensitive activities within defined timeframe at defined
levels. BSLI was the 1st Insurance Company in India to be certified against the BS25999 standard and successfully got transitioned to
ISO 22301 (Globally accepted standard on Business Continuity).
The Company through its risk management policies has set up systems to continuously monitor its experience with regard to other
parameters that affect the value of benefits offered in the products. Such parameters include policy lapses, premium persistency,
maintenance expenses and investment returns.

Risk Policies:
The following risk policies govern and implement effective risk management practices:
Product Design and Pricing Policy, Underwriting and Liability Management Policy, Reinsurance Ceded Policy, Capital Management Policy,
Investment Policies, Valuation Policy, Information Security Policies, Business Continuity Policy, Operational Risk Management Policy, Fraud
Reporting and Investigating Policy, Asset Liability Management policy, Outsourcing policy.
Risk Mitigation Strategies:
The Company is exposed to several risks in the course of its business. The risks on the liabilities front may arise due to more than expected
claims. On the assets front, risks could arise due to the possibility of fluctuations in their market value. The Company is also subject to
expense risk, since until new business volumes grow significantly, the actual expenses of the Company will exceed the expenses loaded into
the product pricing. The Company has implemented adequate safeguards to mitigate these risks. The overall business risks and mitigation
strategies are as described below:
Strategic Risk Risk to future earnings or capital in terms of failure to achieve the Companys strategic or long term business plans,
either through incorrect choices or improper implementation of those choices.
Mitigation Strategy: Strategic risks are managed through risk identification and review process through the
Enterprise Risk Management framework. Strategic risks and mitigating action plans are monitored by the Risk
Management Committee.
Investment Risk Risk to Investment Performance can be due to Systematic Risks like Markets, Interest Rates, Liquidity, etc., or
Unsystematic Risk like the Company specific or Industry Specific Risks. These risks can impact the Guarantees, other
than hampering the Investment performance on temporary/permanent basis.
Mitigation Strategy: Robust governance structure (Investment Committee) and well defined investment policies &
processes ensure that the risks involved in investments are properly identified and acceptable levels are defined.
Stringent investment norms and approval structure ensures healthy portfolio while delivering the expected
performance. All Regulatory and Internal norms are built in the Investment system, which monitors the Investment
limits and exposure norms on real-time basis. The Company uses systems like MSCI Barra One to evaluate and
monitor risks.
Asset Liability An asset-liability mismatch occurs when the financial terms of an institution's assets and liabilities do not correspond.
Management These can lead to non-payment/deferment of claims, expenses, etc.
(ALM) Risk Mitigation Strategy: Robust governance structure (ALM Committee) and well defined Asset Liability Management
framework ensures periodic monitoring of the Asset-Liability position of the Company. BSLIs Asset Liability
Management Techniques aims to manage the volume, mix, maturity, rate sensitivity, quality and liquidity of assets
and liabilities as a whole so as to attain a predetermined acceptable risk/reward ratio. Strategies are reviewed
and revised based on the periodic monitoring. Various analyses are carried out to gauge the impact of the Interest
rate movements, market movements and mortality rate assumptions. Further the NAV guarantee products uses
proprietary monitoring mechanisms to ensure adequate ALM.
Operational Risk The uncertainty arising from more than expected losses or damage to finances or reputation resulting from inadequate
or failed internal processes, controls, people, systems or external events.
Mitigation Strategy: Operational risks are governed through Operational Risk Management policy. The Company
maintains an operational loss database to track and mitigate risks resulting in financial losses. The Company
has also initiated a Risk Control Self Assessment process to embed the control testing as a part of day to day
operations. To control operational risk, operating and reporting processes are reviewed and updated regularly.
Ongoing training through internal and external programs is designed to equip staff at all levels to meet the demands
of their respective positions. The Company has a Business Continuity Plan in place to manage any business
interruption risk. The Company is one of the few Indian Insurance companies to be ISO 22301 (Globally accepted
standard on Business Continuity) certified. Fraud management is handled through an internal committee and is

Enterprise Risk Management Report for the year ended March 31, 2015

Insurance Risk The uncertainty of product performance due to differences between the actual experience and expected assumptions
affecting amount of claims, benefits payments, expenses, etc.
Mitigation Strategy: The Company through its risk management policies has set up systems to continuously monitor
its experience with regard to other parameters that affect the value of benefits offered in the products. Such
parameters include policy lapses, premium persistency, maintenance expenses and investment returns.
A strong underwriting team is in place to review all proposals from clients, supported by comprehensive processes
and procedures, and guided by international experts. The objective of the underwriting team is to minimise the risks
of abnormal mortality and morbidity by acquiring adequate information, to determine, whether to accept individual
lives, and if so, the extra premium if any, to compensate for any additional risk.
The operating expenses are monitored very closely. Many products offered by the Company also have an investment
guarantee. The Company has set aside additional reserves to cover this risk. Further, the possible financial effect of
adverse mortality and morbidity experience has been reduced by entering into reinsurance agreements.
Further, the possible financial effect of adverse mortality and morbidity experience has been reduced by entering into
reinsurance agreements with RGA, Munich Re and Swiss Re (international reinsurers) for individual life business, RGA
and Munich Re (international reinsurers) for group business. All reinsurers are specialist international reinsurance
companies with excellent reputation and significant financial strength. The Company has entered into a separate
agreement with RGA to cover the catastrophic risks under individual and group business.
Information The risk arising from IT systems (Data Leakage, Application Vulnerabilities, Lack of Segregation of Duties and Access
Security Risk Control), Human error, etc., can cause damage to finances or reputation.
Mitigation Strategy: Information Security risks are governed through Information Security policy. The Company
has a comprehensive policy designed to comply with privacy and/or data protection legislations as specified
in Indian Information Technology Act 2008 and Notification dated 11th April, 2011 on protection of sensitive
personal information and it provides direction to Information Security staff as well as management and employees
regarding their responsibilities for the Information Security function. We also perform risk assessment before any IT
applications. Ongoing training through internal and external programs is designed to equip staff at all levels to meet
the demands of their respective positions.
Business Continuity Management Policy:
To have a planned response in the event of any contingency ensuring recovery of critical activities at agreed levels within agreed timeframe
thereby complying with various regulatory requirements and minimising the potential business impact to BSLI. Additionally to create a
system that fosters continuous improvement of business continuity management.

Auditors Report for the year ended March 31, 2015

Independent Auditors Report


To the Members of Birla Sun Life Insurance Company Limited
Report on the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of Birla Sun Life Insurance Company Limited (the Company), which comprise
the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015, the related Revenue Account (also called the Policyholders Account or the Technical Account), the
Profit and Loss Account (also called the Shareholders Account or Non-Technical Account) and the Receipts and Payments Account for the year
then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Managements Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements


The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) with respect to
the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the Balance Sheet, the related Revenue Account, the Profit
and Loss Account and the Receipts and Payments Account of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the provisions of the Insurance Act, 1938 (the Insurance Act), the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act 2015 read with IRDAs Circular
no. IRDAI/F&A/CIR/FA/059/03/2015 dated March 31, 2015, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 (the IRDA Act), the
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Preparation of Financial Statements and Auditors Report of Insurance Companies)
Regulations, 2002 (the IRDA Financial Statements Regulations), orders/directions issued by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
of India (the IRDA) in this regard, and the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies
(Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the
Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of
appropriate accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance
of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the
audit report under the provisions of the Act and Rules made thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Companys preparation of the
financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting
and the operating effectiveness of such internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Companys Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone
financial statements.

Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements
give the information required in accordance the Insurance Act, the IRDA Act, the IRDA Financial Statements Regulations and the Act to the extent
applicable and in the manner so required, and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
as applicable to Insurance Companies:
(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2015;
(b) in the case of Revenue Account, of the net surplus for the year ended on that date;
(c) in the case of Profit and Loss Account, of the profit for the year ended on that date; and
(d) in the case of the Receipts and Payments Account, of the receipts and payments for the year ended on that date.

Other Matter
The actuarial valuation of liabilities for life policies in force is the responsibility of the Companys Appointed Actuary (the Appointed Actuary). The
actuarial valuation of these liabilities for life policies in force and for policies in respect of which premium has been discontinued but liability exists
as at March 31, 2015 has been duly certified by the Appointed Actuary and in his opinion, the assumptions for such valuation are in accordance
with the guidelines and norms issued by IRDA and the Institute of Actuaries of India in concurrence with the IRDA. We have relied upon Appointed
Actuarys certificate in this regard for forming our opinion on the standalone financial statements of the Company.

such estimates include valuation of policy liabilities, provision for linked liabilities, funds for future appropriations, provision for doubtful

conditions of the relevant treaties with the reinsurers. Impact on account of subsequent revisions to or cancellations of premium

difference between the re-measured fair value and the acquisition cost as reduced by any previous impairment loss recognised
as expense in Revenue/Profit and Loss Account. Any reversal of impairment loss, earlier recognised in profit and loss account
shall be recognised in Revenue/Profit and Loss account.
g) Loans against policies
Loans against policies are valued at the aggregate of book values (net of repayments) plus capitalised interest and are subject to
impairment, if any.
h) Fixed assets, intangibles and depreciation
i. Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the purchase price and any cost directly attributable
to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure incurred on fixed assets is expensed
out in the year of expense except where such expenditure increases the future economic benefits from the existing assets.
Advances paid towards the acquisition of fixed assets outstanding at each balance sheet date and the cost of fixed assets not
ready for its intended use before such date are disclosed under capital work-in-progress.
Assets costing upto ` 5 are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition. The rate of depreciation is higher of the management
estimate based on useful life or the rates prescribed in Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Depreciation on fixed assets
is provided using the straight-line method based on the economic useful life of assets as estimated by the management is
as below:

Sr. No. Asset Type Estimated useful life (in years)


1 Leasehold Improvements and Furniture and fittings 5 years or the maximum renewable period of
at leased premises the respective leases, whichever is lower
2 Furniture & fittings (other than (1) above) 5
3 Information Technology Equipment 3
4 Vehicles 4/5
5 Office Equipment 5
6 Mobile Phones (included in office equipment under Schedule 10) 2
Any additions to the original fixed assets are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the original asset.
ii. Intangibles
Intangible assets comprise of software licenses which are stated at cost less amortisation. Software expenses exceeding
`1,000 incurred on customisation of software (other than for maintenance of existing software) are capitalised. Software licenses
are amortised using Straight Line Method over a period of 3 years from the date of being ready for use.
iii. Impairment of Assets
At each balance sheet date, management assesses whether there is any indication, based on internal/external factors, that an
asset may be impaired. Impairment occurs where the carrying value exceeds the present value of future cash flows expected
to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal. The impairment loss to be expensed is determined as
the excess of the carrying amount over the higher of the assets net sales price or present value as determined above. If at the
balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is
reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount, subject to maximum of depreciable historical cost.
i) Operating leases
The Company classifies leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership over the lease
term, as Operating Leases. Operating lease rentals are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the non-cancellable lease
period.
j) Employee benefits
i. Short-Term Employee Benefits
All employee benefits payable within twelve months of rendering the service are classified as short-term employee benefits.
Benefits such as salaries & bonuses are recognised in the period in which the employee renders the related service.

Schedules for the year ended March 31, 2015

ii. Long-Term Employment Benefits


The Company has both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. These plans are financed by the Company.

The Company has established defined contribution schemes for superannuation to provide retirement benefits to its
employees. Contributions to the superannuation schemes are made on a monthly basis and charged to revenue account
when due.
Defined Benefit Plans:
Gratuity liability is defined benefit obligation and is funded. The Company accounts for liability for future gratuity benefits
based on independent actuarial valuation under revised Accounting Standard 15 (AS 15) on Employee Benefits.
Provident Fund contributions are made to a Trust, administered by the Company. The interest rate payable to the members
of the Trust shall not be lower than the statutory rate of interest declared by the Central Government under the Employees
Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, and shortfall, if any, shall be made good by the Company. The
Companys liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit Method) at the end of the year and any shortfall
in the fund size maintained by the Trust set up by the Company is additionally provided for. Actuarial losses/gains are
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year in which they arise.
iii. Other Employee Benefits
Compensated absences are entitled to be carried forward for future encashment or availment, at the option of the employee
during the tenure of the employment, subject to the rules framed by the Company in this regard. Accumulated compensated
absences entitlements outstanding at the close of the year are accounted on the basis of an independent actuarial valuation.

k) Renewal bonus

commission/incentives against receipt of the first year premium but due and payable at the end of the expiry of two years of the policy
and is accrued for in the year of sale of the policy, subject to the intermediaries and policys continued persistency.
l) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and
liabilities in foreign currency are translated at the rates existing as at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gain or loss for

m) Segment reporting
As per Accounting Standard 17 (AS 17) on Segment Reporting read with the Preparation of Financial Statements and Auditors Report
of Insurance Companies, Regulations 2002 and the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act 2015 read with IRDA Circular no. IRDAI/F&A/
CIR/FA/059/03/2015 dated March 31, 2015, the Company is required to report segment results separately for linked, non-linked, health
and pension businesses. The business is broadly classified as Participating non-linked, Non Participating Unit Linked and Non-Linked
businesses, which are further segmented into Individual Life, Group Life, Group Life Variable, Individual Pension, Annuity Individual,
Group Pension, Group Pension Variable and Individual Health businesses. Accordingly, the Company has prepared the revenue account
and balance sheet for these primary business segments separately. Since the business operation of the Company is in India only, the
same is considered as one geographical segment.
The following basis has been used for allocation of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities to the business segments:
 evenues, expenses, assets and liabilities directly attributable and identifiable to business segments, are allocated on actual
R
basis; and
 ther expenses, assets and liabilities which are not directly identifiable though attributable to a business segment, are allocated
O
on the following basis, as considered appropriate by the management:
Gross premium;
First year commission;
Sum assured;
Policy liability;
Asset under management;
New Business Policy Count;
Enforce policy count.
The accounting policies, used in segment reporting, are the same as those used in the preparation of the financial statements.

The Income-Tax Act, 1961 prescribes that profits and gains of life insurance Companies will be the surplus or deficit disclosed
by the actuarial valuation made in accordance with the Insurance Act, 1938 and the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act 2015 read
with IRDA Circular no. IRDAI/F&A/CIR/FA/059/03/2015 dated March 31, 2015.

Birla Sun Life Insurance

Schedules for the year ended March 31, 2015

Deferred income tax is recognised for future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between income as determined
by the financial statements and the recognition for income tax purposes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a change in tax rates is recognised using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future.
However, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation law, deferred tax assets are recognised
only if there is virtual certainty backed by convincing evidence that such deferred assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets
are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably or virtually
certain, as the case may be, to be realised.
Provision for wealth tax is made at the appropriate rates, as per the applicable provisions of Wealth Tax Act, 1957.
ii. Indirect Taxes
The Company claims credit of service tax for input services, which is set off against tax on output services. As a matter of
prudence, unutilised credits are deferred for recognition until such time that there is reasonable certainty of utilisation.
o) Provisions and Contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present legal obligation as a result of past event/s and it is probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect current best estimates. A disclosure for contingent liability is made when there is a possible
obligation or present obligations that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources or it cannot be reliably estimated.
When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no
provision or disclosure is made. A contingent asset is neither recognised nor disclosed.
p) Funds for Future Appropriation
The balance in the funds for future appropriations account represents funds, the allocation of which, either to participating Policyholders
or to Shareholders, has not been determined at the Balance Sheet date. Transfers to and from the fund reflect the excess or deficit
of income over expenses and appropriations in each accounting period arising in the Companys Policyholders fund. In respect of
Participating policies any allocation to the policyholder would also give rise to a shareholder transfer in the required proportion.
Amounts estimated by the Appointed Actuary as Funds for Future Appropriation (FFA) in respect of lapsed Unit Linked Policies are
set-aside in the balance sheet and are not available for distribution to shareholders until expiry of the revival period.
q) Earnings Per Share

12. Actuarial assumptions
The actuarial liabilities are calculated in accordance with accepted actuarial practice, requirements of Insurance Act, 1938 and the Insurance
Laws (Amendment) Act 2015 read with IRDA Circular no. IRDAI/F&A/CIR/FA/059/03/2015 dated March 31, 2015, Regulations notified by
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority and Practice Standard prescribed by the Institute of Actuaries of India.
Unit Reserves
Unit reserves are computed by multiplying the number of units with the unit price as on the valuation date.
Non Unit Reserves
Prospective gross premium cash flow method is used to compute the non unit liabilities in respect of the policies in force as at March 31,
2015. The cash flows are projected based on assumptions that reflect the expected future experience and have an appropriate allowance for
margins for adverse deviations. The major assumptions relate to mortality, interest, expenses, policy persistency and premium persistency.
Additionally, for traditional par policies current year bonus rate, future bonus rates and terminal bonuses (wherever applicable) consistent
with the valuation interest rate, transfer to shareholders and tax on the surplus are also taken into account while calculating the
policy liability.
Mortality rates are derived based on the Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006-2008) table after making suitable adjustments depending
on the type of the product. Longitivity (for Annuity Products) rates are derived based on the LIC Annuitant table (96-98) table after making
suitable adjustments and with appropriate mortality improvements. Interest rates used to discount the future cash flows vary from 5.50%
to 7.75%. A prudent assumption is made for investment growth on the unit funds. An appropriate allowance is made for future policy
maintenance expenses and investment expenses. Policy persistency rates are derived based on expected future policyholder behavior. For
unit linked business, the discontinuance of premiums by the policyholders while keeping the benefits in force is allowed for by appropriate
premium persistency assumptions varying by product.
Additional provisions are made towards:
I. Investment guarantees for unit linked business
II. Substandard lives
III. Unearned premium/mortality charges (in accordance with IRDA Circular 50/IRDA/ACTL/CIR/GEN/050/03/2010)
IV. Reserves for free look option given to the policyholders
Analysis of recent experience has indicated that about 2.0% of the individual policyholders tend to exercise the option. Accordingly, with
appropriate prudence, 2.5% of the total charges collected (from the 11th to the end of that month) for new policies/coverages issued during
a given month is being set aside as the reserve. For traditional products, modal premium received (from the 11th to the end of that month)
for new policies/coverage issued during the month is being set aside as reserve.
V. Lapse policies eligible for revivals (in accordance with IRDA Circular 41/IRDA/ACTL/Mar-2006).
VI. New Business Closure Reserve
VII. Cash Surrender Value Deficiency Reserve
VIII. Premium Waiver Claim Provision
IX. Incurred But Not Reported Reserve
For group yearly renewable term business, unearned premium method is used to compute the reserves. In addition to the unearned premium
method, provision is also made for incurred but not reported claims.

Birla Sun Life Insurance

Management Report for the year ended March 31, 2015

(Amounts in thousands of Indian Rupees)

In accordance with the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Preparation of Financial Statements and Auditors Report of Insurance
Companies) Regulations, 2002, and the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act 2015 read with IRDA Circular no. IRDAI/F&A/CIR/FA/059/03/2015 dated
March 31, 2015 the following Management Report is submitted by the Board of Directors:
1. Certificate of Registration
The Certificate of Registration granted by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) to enable the Company to transact life
insurance business was valid as on 31st March 2015 and is in force as on the date of this Report.
2. Statutory Dues
We hereby certify that all the material dues payable, other than those which are being contested with the statutory authorities, have been
duly paid.
3. Shareholding Pattern
The Company confirms that the shareholding pattern and any transfer of shares during the year are in accordance with the statutory and/or
regulatory requirements.
4. Investment of Funds
The Company has not, directly or indirectly, invested policyholders fund outside India.
5. Solvency Margin
The Company has maintained adequate assets to cover both its liabilities and the minimum solvency margin, as stipulated in Section 64 VA
of the Insurance Act, 1938.
6. Valuation of Assets
We hereby certify that all assets of the Company have been reviewed on the date of the Balance Sheet and to the best of our knowledge and
belief the assets set forth in the Balance Sheet are shown in the aggregate at amounts not exceeding their realisable or market value under
the several headings Loans, Investments (other than as mentioned hereunder), Agents balances, Outstanding Premiums, Interest,
Dividends and Rents outstanding, Interest, Dividends and Rents accruing but not due, Amounts due from other persons or Bodies
carrying on insurance business, Sundry Debtors, Bills Receivable, Cash and the several items specified under Other Accounts.
Market values of fixed income investments made in the shareholders funds and non-linked policyholders funds which are valued at amortised
cost as per the IRDA regulations, is higher by their carrying amounts by ` 2,252,726 (previous year lower by ` 1,034,679) in aggregate as
at 31st March, 2015.
7. Investment Pattern
We hereby confirm and certify that, no part of Life Insurance Fund has been directly or indirectly applied in contravention of provisions of the
Insurance Act 1938 (4 of 1938) relating to the application and investment of the life insurance funds.
8. Risk Minimisation Strategies
The Company is exposed to several risks in the course of its business. The risks on the liabilities side may arise due to more than expected
claims. On the assets side, the risks arise due to the possibility of fluctuations in their values. The Company is also subject to the expense risk,
since until new business volumes grow significantly, the actual expenses of the Company will exceed the expenses loaded into the product
pricing. The Company has implemented adequate safeguards to mitigate these risks, as are described below.
A strong underwriting team is in place to review all proposals from clients, supported by comprehensive processes and procedures, and
guided by international experts. The objective of the underwriting team is to minimise the risks of abnormal mortality and morbidity by
acquiring adequate information, on which to determine, whether to accept individual lives, and if so, the extra premium, to compensate for
any additional risk.
Further, the possible financial effect of adverse mortality and morbidity experience has been reduced by entering into reinsurance agreements
with RGA, Munich Re and Swiss Re (international reinsurers) for individual life business and RGA and Munich Re for group business. All
reinsurers are specialist international reinsurance companies with excellent reputation and significant financial strength. The Company also
has a separate agreement with RGA to cover the catastrophic risks under individual and group business.
The Company has also set-up systems to continuously monitor its experience in regard to other parameters that affect the value of benefits
offered in the products. Such parameters include policy lapses, premium persistency, maintenance expenses and investment returns. The
operating expenses are monitored very closely. Many products offered by the Company also have an investment guarantee. The Company
has set aside additional reserves to cover this risk.
The Companys investment team operates under the close supervision of the Investment Committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The
investments are made in line with the investment policy adopted by the Company.
The Company has a robust Business Continuity Plan in place to manage any business interruption risk which is certified against the global
standard ISO 22301.
Information Security risks are governed through Information Security policy. The Company has a comprehensive policy designed to comply
with privacy and/or data protection legislations as specified in Indian Information Technology Act 2008 and Notification dated 11th April 2011
on protection of sensitive personal information and it provides direction to Information Security staff as well as management and employees
regarding their responsibilities for the Information Security function.
9. Country Risk
The Company is operating in India only and hence has no exposure to any other country risk.

Birla Sun Life Insurance

Appointed Actuarys Certificate for the year ended March 31, 2015

(Amounts in thousands of Indian Rupees)

I have valued the policy liabilities of Birla Sun Life Insurance Company Limited at March 31, 2015 in accordance with accepted actuarial practice
and in line with relevant professional guidance issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India, including that covering the selection of appropriate
assumptions.

In my opinion, the amount of policy liabilities (` 287,869,080 net of reinsurance) makes appropriate provision for all policyholders obligations,
and the financial statements fairly present the result of the valuation.

policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the consolidated financial statements).

Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements


The Holding Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements in terms of the requirements
of the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated

India (the IRDA) in this regard, and the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in
accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that
we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated

financial statements.

Opinion

at leased premises the respective leases, whichever is lower
2 Furniture & fittings (other than (1) above) 5
3 Information Technology Equipment 3

incurred on customisation of software (other than for maintenance of existing software) are capitalised. Software licenses are
amortised using Straight Line Method over a period of 3 years from the date of being ready for use.
iii. Impairment of Assets

asset may be impaired. Impairment occurs where the carrying value exceeds the present value of future cash flows expected
to arise from the continuing use of the asset and its eventual disposal. The impairment loss to be expensed is determined as
the excess of the carrying amount over the higher of the assets net sales price or present value as determined above. If at the
balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is
reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable amount, subject to maximum of depreciable historical cost.

o) Taxation
i. Direct Taxes
The Income-Tax Act, 1961 prescribes that profits and gains of life insurance companies will be the surplus or deficit disclosed by
the actuarial valuation made in accordance with the Insurance Act, 1938 and the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act 2015 read
with IRDA Circular no. IRDAI/F&A/CIR/FA/059/03/2015 dated March 31, 2015. In respect of pension fund management Company,
Provision for income tax is made in accordance with the provision of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred income tax is recognised for future tax consequences attributable to timing differences between income as determined
by the financial statements and the recognition for income tax purposes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a change in tax rates is recognised using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the assets can be realised in future.
However, where there is unabsorbed depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation law, deferred tax assets are recognised
only if there is virtual certainty backed by convincing evidence that such deferred assets can be realised. Deferred tax assets
are reviewed as at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is reasonably or virtually
certain, as the case may be, to be realised.
Where Company has provided for tax liability based on Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) provisions, MAT credit is recognised as
an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay normal income tax during the
specified period.
Provision for wealth tax is made at the appropriate rates, as per the applicable provisions of Wealth Tax Act, 1957.
ii. Indirect Taxes
The Company claims credit of service tax for input services, which is set off against tax on output services. As a matter of
prudence, unutilised credits are deferred for recognition until such time that there is reasonable certainty of utilisation. A provision
is created against unutilised credit based on estimated realisation of such unutilised credit.
p) Provisions and Contingencies
A provision is recognised when the Company has a present legal obligation as a result of past event/s and it is probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which reliable estimate can be made. These are reviewed at each
balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect current best estimates. A disclosure for contingent liability is made when there is a possible
obligation or present obligations that may, but probably will not, require an outflow of resources or it cannot be reliably estimated.
When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of resources is remote, no
provision or disclosure is made. A contingent asset is neither recognised nor disclosed.
q) Funds for Future Appropriation
The balance in the funds for future appropriations account represents funds, the allocation of which, either to participating Policyholders
or to Shareholders, has not been determined at the Balance Sheet date. Transfers to and from the fund reflect the excess or deficit
of income over expenses and appropriations in each accounting period arising in the Companys Policyholders fund. In respect of
Participating policies any allocation to the policyholder would also give rise to a shareholder transfer in the required proportion.
Amounts estimated by the Appointed Actuary as Funds for Future Appropriation (FFA) in respect of lapsed Unit Linked Policies are set-
aside in the balance sheet and are not available for distribution to shareholders until expiry of the revival period.
r) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit
or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are
adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
s) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of Receipts and Payments account include cash and cheques in hand; bank balances
liquid mutual funds and other investments with original maturity of three months or less which are subject to insignificant risk of
changes in value.

Laws (Amendment) Act 2015 read with IRDA Circular No. IRDAI/F&A/CIR/FA/059/03/2015 dated March 31, 2015, Regulations notified by
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority and Practice Standard prescribed by the Institute of Actuaries of India.
Unit Reserves
Unit reserves are computed by multiplying the number of units with the unit price as on the valuation date.
Non Unit Reserves
Prospective gross premium cash flow method is used to compute the non unit liabilities in respect of the policies in force as at March 31,
2015. The cash flows are projected based on assumptions that reflect the expected future experience and have an appropriate allowance for
Margins for adverse deviations. The major assumptions relate to mortality, interest, expenses, policy persistency and premium persistency.
Additionally, for traditional par policies current year bonus rate, future bonus rates and terminal bonuses (wherever applicable) consistent
with the valuation interest rate, transfer to shareholders and tax on the surplus are also taken into account while calculating the policy
liability.
Mortality rates are derived based on the Indian Assured Lives Mortality (2006-2008) table after making suitable adjustments depending
on the type of the product. Longitivity (for Annuity Products) rates are derived based on the LIC Annuitant table (96-98) table after making
suitable adjustments and with appropriate mortality improvements. Interest rates used to discount the future cash flows vary from 5.50%
to 7.75%. A prudent assumption is made for investment growth on the unit funds. An appropriate allowance is made for future policy
maintenance expenses and investment expenses. Policy persistency rates are derived based on expected future policyholder behavior. For
unit linked business, the discontinuance of premiums by the policyholders while keeping the benefits in force is allowed for by appropriate
premium persistency assumptions varying by product.
Additional provisions are made towards: -
i. Investment guarantees for unit linked business
ii. Substandard lives
iii. Unearned premium/mortality charges (in accordance with IRDA Circular no. 50/IRDA/ACTL/CIR/GEN/050/03/2010)
