Risk intelligence
Sat Sharma from HDFC Securities raised concerns about IRDAI's EUM letter and industry-wide distribution cost scrutiny. Management acknowledged uncertainty, stating 'nobody has an answer to that' on how EUM will evolve.
Sankit Koda from Anand Rathi raised the group loss ratio question. Management confirmed the increase was due to mix change and noted slower growth in employer-employee group (12%) versus overall company growth.
Aish Dari from Vakaria Capital noted the ~800bps gap between IFRS and IGAAP loss ratios. Management explained this is due to 50% UPR under IGAAP (vs 100% under IFRS), seasonality from large January renewals, and multi-year policy deferrals.
Pratim from Jeff raised the question of when industry initiatives would translate to improved profitability. Management explicitly stated these are 'multi-year efforts' and results 'take time to play out,' acknowledging claims ratio is only flat rather than improving.
