PART- I
Accounting Principles for Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements
1. IIOs shall adhere to the following general accounting principles while preparing financial statements:
(1) Premium: Premium shall be recognised as income when due. For linked business, the due date for payment may be taken as the date when the associated units are created.
(2) Acquisition costs: Acquisition costs, if any, directly attributable to the policy shall be expensed over the contract period or period of risk on the policy. The unexpired portion of the policy shall be deferred and recognised as Deferred Acquisition costs and expensed in subsequent periods.
Explanation: Acquisition costs are the costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal insurance contracts. The most essential test is the obligatory relationship between costs and the execution of insurance contracts (i.e. commencement of risk)
(3) Claims Cost: The ultimate cost of claims shall comprise of the policy benefit amount and specific claims settlement costs, wherever applicable.
(4) Actuarial Valuation – Liability for Life Policies:
(i) The estimation of liability against life policies shall be determined by the appointed actuary of the IIO pursuant to the annual assessment of the life insurance business. Actuarial assumptions shall be disclosed by way of notes to the accounts.
(ii) The liability shall be so calculated that together with future premium payments and investment income, the IIO can meet all future claims (including bonus entitlements to policyholders) and expenses.
(iii) Additionally, the IIO shall maintain adequate assets to discharge all its liabilities.
2. Notwithstanding anything contained in the applicable Accounting Standards as specified in regulation 5 of these regulations, IIOs shall adhere to the following procedure to determine value of its investments:
(1) Investment in Real Estate:
(i) The value of investment in real estate shall be determined at historical cost, subject to revaluation at least once in every three years. The change in the carrying amount of the investment in real estate shall be taken to Revaluation Reserve. The basis for revaluation shall be disclosed in the notes to accounts.
(ii) The IIO shall, before finalisation of its balance sheet, assess whether any impairment of the investment in real estate has occurred. An impairment loss shall be recognised as an expense in the Revenue Account or Profit and Loss Account immediately, unless the asset is carried at re-valued amount. Any impairment loss of a re-valued asset shall be treated as a revaluation decrease of that asset.
(iii) Gains or losses arising due to changes in the carrying amount of real estate shall be taken to equity under ‘Revaluation Reserve. The ‘Profit or Loss on sale of investments’, as the case may be, shall, after adjusting include the accumulated changes in the carrying amount (previously recognised in equity under the heading ‘Revaluation Reserve’) in respect of that particular property and being recycled to the relevant Revenue Account or Profit and Loss Account on sale of that property.
(iv) The bases for revaluation shall be disclosed in the notes to accounts. The Authority may issue directions specifying the amount to be released from the Revaluation Reserve for declaring bonus to the policyholders.

(2) Debt Securities: Debt securities, including government securities and redeemable preference shares, shall be considered as “held to maturity” securities and shall be measured at historical cost subject to amortisation. In case of any downgrade in the rating of the debt securities, which results in a decrease in the accounted value, the possible impact of the same on the balance sheet shall be disclosed in the ‘Notes to Account’.
(3) Listed Equity Securities and Derivative Instruments that are traded in active market:
(i) Listed equity securities and derivative instruments that are traded in active markets shall be measured at fair value on the balance sheet date.

Also, any debit balance in Fair Value Change Account shall be reduced from profit/ free reserves while declaring dividends
(vi) The IIO shall assess, on each balance sheet date, whether any impairment has occurred. An impairment loss shall be recognised as an expense in Revenue Account or Profit and Loss Account to the extent of the difference between the re-measured fair value of the security/investment and its acquisition cost as reduced by any previous impairment loss recognised as expense in Revenue Account or Profit and Loss Account. Any reversal of impairment loss, earlier recognised in Revenue/Profit and Loss Account shall be recognised in Revenue/Profit and Loss Account.
(4) Unlisted or other actively traded Equity Securities and Derivative Instruments: Unlisted equity securities and derivative instruments and listed equity securities and derivative instruments that are not regularly traded in active markets shall be measured at historical cost. Provision shall be made for diminution in value of such investments. The provision so made shall be reversed in subsequent periods if estimates based on external evidence show an increase in the value of the investment over its carrying amount. The increased carrying amount of the investment due to the reversal of the provision shall not exceed the historical cost.
(5) Loans: Loans shall be measured at historical cost subject to impairment provisions. The IIO shall assess the quality of its loan assets and shall provide for impairment.
(6) Loans Secured by Insurance Policies Issued by the IIO: Valuation of a loan secured by an insurance policy issued by the IIO must be as the amount of the loan but not exceeding the amount payable on a surrender or early termination of the policy as at the date the policy is being valued.
(7) Linked Business: A separate set of financial statements, for each segregated fund of the linked businesses, shall be annexed.
Explanation: The fund earmarked in respect of Unit Linked business would be referred to as segregated fund.
(8) Funds for Future Appropriation: The funds for future appropriation shall be presented separately.
