directBreakup of 140 bps GST impact on NBM and mitigation plans.
On H1 basis, the impact on NBM is 140 basis points on account of GST. 50 basis points of this impact is backbook... Rest, 90 basis points is for the business that was written from 22nd September- 30th September.

partialMitigation of GST ITC impact on NBM.
Some actions we have already taken on... product structures and product mixes... We are also in discussion with distribution on how to take this burden of GST... We expect another two quarters for settling this entire process.

directBreakdown of 7% margin improvement in BALIC.
Cost would be about 100-125 basis points. Product mix would be about 400 basis points. That is broadly, I could talk to you about 500-525 basis points. I think rest would be multiple line items there.

evasiveFull-year margin outlook for BALIC after GST impact.
I think at this point of time, I would not want to hazard a guess whether it will be 4%, 6%, or 7% margin expansion... Had that not been there, I think our confidence level in terms of margins that we have been saying that it should expand in the range of 4%-6% in this year would have definitely happened.

partialGrowth outlook for BALIC in H2 FY26.
The studied strategy that we had on a flattish four quarters is over, and that ended September. Here on, you should see a significant trajectory on growth. I would, at this point, not hazard a guess, but it would be above the industry.

partialDivergence in motor OD vs TP growth and TP loss ratio sustainability.
We try to maintain our market share in all lines of businesses... On the price hike of TP, for quite many years, it did not happen, which means that our belief is that it should happen very soon.

evasiveGroup health and retail health growth outlook for H2.
If the market does not give an opportunity to pick up risk at our price, which we feel is right, then we do not do that... To tell that whether in the next half we will pick it up or not pick it up, it will all depend on the market.

evasivePlans to list life and general insurance companies.
I don't think in the next two, three years we are seeing anything. We have other developments in the industry... we will wait for all these to play out before we take a view.
Nidhesh Jain · Investec India
evasiveReasons for combined ratio above 100% and path to below 100%.
Bajaj has been beating the industry combined ratio by a full 15 percentage points... If the new accounting system is for internationally... then the combined comes way below 100.

directMotor OD loss ratio increase to 71% - trend or blip?
It is just a quarterly blip. We will come down by the year end, is what we believe.
