Equity Valuation: "As stipulated by IRDAI in its circular IRDAI/F&I/INV/CIR/213/10/2013 dated October 30, 2013, insurer shall select from National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE Ltd (BSE) as primary and secondary exchanges and the valuation of equity shares shall be made on the closing price of the primary exchange selected. If such security is not listed/ not traded on the primary exchange, Insurer shall use the closing price of the secondary exchange. SBI Life Insurance Co.

The revised equity valuation policy of SBI Life is as follows: "Listed equity shares will be valued at the closing price at the primary exchange i.e. National Stock Exchange (NSE) on valuation day. If NSE price is not available on a particular valuation day, closing price of the secondary exchange i.e. BSE will be used for valuation. If the security is not traded on both NSE and BSE on a particular valuation day, then the price at which the security is traded on the primary exchange and secondary exchange, as the case may be, on the earliest previous day will be used for valuation, provided such previous date is not more than 30 days prior to valuation date." |
