61 Most financial metrics for MFSL’s sole operating subsidiary, Max Life, were impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a nationwide lockdown since March 2020. Despite the aberration, Max Life continued to perform in line with market standards, while maintaining its market share in the private life insurance industry at a stable 9.7%. {{footnote}}https://www.maxfinancialservices.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/MFSL_AR_2019_20%20Final.pdf{{/footnote}}
62
63 In FY 20, MFSL reported consolidated revenues of Rs 18,242 Cr., 7% lower compared to the previous year, due to market to market loss on debt and equity portfolio. The Company reported consolidated Profit after Tax of Rs 273 Cr., 34% lower compared to the previous year, largely due to shift in product mix towards Non-Par business, investments in proprietary channels, provision for impairment on financial assets and one-time tax expense on settlement of tax dispute under the ‘Vivad se Vishwas’ Scheme.
64
65 In FY 20, Gross Premiums for Max Life of Rs 16,184 Cr. grew at 11% compared to the previous year. New business and renewal premium grew marginally at 5% and 13% respectively over the previous year, due to lower collections in ULIP and COVID related grace period permitted to customers by IRDAI.
66
67 Max Life’s Individual APE was recorded at Rs 4,116 Cr., increasing 5% over the previous year.
