Materiality

Materiality is one of the underlying concepts of integrated thinking and reporting and a
differentiating factor compared to financial reports. Under materiality, we periodically
evaluate our material issues. Material matters are those that are most important to the
business and its key stakeholders, and which can affect our ability to create value over
the short, medium and long term. In order to continue creating a positive impact on the
society, materiality serves as a compass to guide us through our journey and helps to
establish our priorities.

Enterprise Risk Management –


Framework & Approach

Risk is inherent to the insurance business. Our risk management and internal
control systems are designed to ensure that these risks are managed effectively and
efficiently, aligned with our overarching objective of creating long-term value for all
our stakeholders.

Post becoming the first company in India to achieve the ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management certification last year,
ICICI Lombard successfully renewed the prestigious globally recognised certification in Risk Management for FY2020.
This reflects the continual commitment of the Company to have Risk Management embedded in its strategy and operations.

Schedule: 16
Significant accounting policies and notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2019

1 Background
ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited (‘the Company’) was incorporated on October 30, 2000.

The Company obtained Regulatory approval to undertake General Insurance business on August 3, 2001 from
the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (‘IRDAI’) and holds a valid certificate of registration.

The equity shares of the Company are listed on BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange from September
27, 2017.

2 Basis of preparation of financial statements


The financial statements have been prepared and presented on a going concern basis in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles followed in India under the historical cost convention, unless
otherwise specifically stated, on the accrual basis of accounting, and comply with the applicable accounting
standards referred to in section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014, and in accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Act, 1938, Insurance Laws (Amendment)
Act, 2015 (to the extent notified), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999, the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Preparation of Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report of
Insurance Companies Regulations), 2002 (‘the Regulations’) and orders/directions prescribed by the IRDAI in
this behalf, the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (to the extent applicable) in the manner so required and
current practices prevailing within the insurance industry in India.

The management evaluates, all recently issued or revised accounting pronouncements, on an ongoing basis.
The Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees rounded off to the nearest thousand.

3 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as
of the balance sheet date, reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period ended and disclosure
of contingent liabilities as of the balance sheet date. The estimates and assumptions used in these financial
statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as on the date of
the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates
is recognised prospectively in current and future periods.

4 Significant accounting policies


4.1 Revenue recognition
Premium income
Premium including reinsurance accepted (net of Goods & Service Tax) other than for Long term (with term more
than one year) motor insurance policies for new cars and new two wheelers sold on or after September 1, 2018
is recorded on receipt of complete information, for the policy period at the commencement of risk. For Crop
insurance, the premium is accounted based on management estimates that are progressively actualised on
receipt of information. For installment cases, premium is recorded on installment due dates. Reinstatement
premium is recorded as and when such premiums are recovered. Premium earned including reinstatement

Annual Report 2018-19 165


002 Corporate Overview 060 Statutory Reports 124 Financial Statements

Schedules
forming part of the financial statements

premium and re-insurance accepted is recognised as income over the period of risk or the contract period
based on 1/365 method, whichever is appropriate on a gross basis. Any subsequent revisions to premium as
and when they occur are recognised over the remaining period of risk or contract period, as applicable.

In case of long term motor insurance policies for new cars and new two wheelers sold on or after
September 1, 2018, premium received (net of Goods & Service Tax) for third party liability coverage is
recognized equally over the policy period at the commencement of risk on 1/n basis where ‘n’ denotes the
term of the policy in years and premium received for Own damage coverage is recognized as per the annual
premium allocation determined at the inception of the policy in accordance with the product parameters filed
with IRDAI, on receipt of complete information. Reinstatement premium is recorded as and when such
premiums are recovered. Premium allocated for the year is recognised as income earned based on 1/365
method, on a gross basis. Reinstatement premium is allocated on the same basis as the original premium over
the balance term of the policy. Any subsequent revisions to premium as and when they occur are recognised
on the same basis as the original premium, over the balance term of the policy.

Adjustments to premium income arising on cancellation of policies are recognised in the period in which it is
cancelled. Adjustments to premium income for corrections to area covered under Crop insurance are recognized
in the period in which the information is confirmed by the concerned Government/nodal agency.

Income from reinsurance ceded


Commission on reinsurance ceded is recognised as income in the period of ceding the risk.

Profit commission under reinsurance treaties, wherever applicable, is recognised as income in the year of final
determination of profits as confirmed by reinsurers and combined with commission on reinsurance ceded.

Income earned on investments


Interest and rental income on investments are recognised on an accrual basis. Accretion of discount and
amortisation of premium relating to debt securities and non-convertible preference shares is recognised over
the holding/maturity period on a constant yield basis.

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividend is established. Dividend income in respect of
listed equity shares is recognised on ex-dividend date.

Realised gain/loss on securities, which is the difference between the sale consideration and the carrying value
in the books of the Company, is recognised on the trade date. In determining the realised gain/loss, cost of
securities is arrived at on ‘Weighted average cost’ basis. Further, in case of listed equity shares and mutual fund
units, the profit or loss on sale also includes the accumulated changes in the fair value previously recognised in
the fair value change account.

Sale consideration for the purpose of realised gain/loss is net of brokerage and taxes, if any, and excludes
interest received on sale.

4.2 Premium received in advance


This represents premium received during the period, where the risk commences subsequent to the balance
sheet date and in case of long term motor insurance policies for new cars and new two wheelers sold on or
after September 1, 2018 premium allocated to subsequent periods.

166 ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited


4.3 Reinsurance premium
Insurance premium on ceding of the risk other than for long term motor insurance policies for new cars and
new two wheelers sold on or after September 1, 2018 is recognised simultaneously along with the insurance
premium in accordance with reinsurance arrangements with the reinsurers.

In case of long term motor insurance policies for new cars and new two wheelers sold on or after
September 1, 2018, Reinsurance premium is recognized on the insurance premium allocated for the year
simultaneously along with the recognition of the insurance premium in accordance with the reinsurance
arrangements with the reinsurers. Any subsequent revision to premium ceded is recognised in the period of
such revision. Adjustment to reinsurance premium arising on cancellation of policies is recognised in the period
in which they are cancelled. Adjustments to reinsurance premium for corrections to area covered under Crop
insurance are recognized simultaneously along with related premium income.

4.4 Reserve for unexpired risk


Reserve for unexpired risk is recognised net of reinsurance ceded and represents premium written that is
attributable to, and is to be allocated to succeeding accounting periods. For Fire, Marine Cargo and Miscellaneous
business it is calculated on a daily pro-rata basis except in the case of Marine Hull business it is computed at
100% of net premium written on all unexpired policies on the balance sheet date.

4.5 Claims
Claims incurred comprise claims paid, estimated liability for outstanding claims made following a loss occurrence
reported and estimated liability for claims Incurred But Not Reported (‘IBNR’) and claims Incurred But Not
Enough Reported (‘IBNER’). Further, claims incurred also include specific claim settlement costs such as survey/
legal fees and other directly attributable costs.

Claims (net of amounts receivable from reinsurers/coinsurers) are recognised on the date of intimation based on
internal management estimates or on estimates from surveyors/insured in the respective revenue account(s).

Estimated liability for outstanding claims at balance sheet date is recorded net of claims recoverable from/
payable to co-insurers/reinsurers and salvage to the extent there is certainty of realisation. Salvaged stock is
recognised at estimated net realisable value based on independent valuer’s report.

Estimated liability for outstanding claims is determined by the management on the basis of ultimate amounts
likely to be paid on each claim based on the past experience and in cases where claim payment period exceeds
four years based on actuarial valuation. These estimates are progressively revalidated on availability of further
information.

IBNR reserves are provisions for claims that may have been incurred during the accounting period but have not
been reported or claimed. The IBNR provision also includes provision, for claims that have been incurred but
are not enough reported (IBNER). The provision for IBNR and IBNER is based on actuarial estimate duly certified
by the Appointed Actuary of the Company. The actuarial estimate is derived in accordance with relevant IRDAI
regulations and Guidance Note GN 21 issued by the Institute of Actuaries of India.

4.6 Acquisition costs


Acquisition costs are those costs that vary with, and are primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal
of insurance contracts viz. commission, policy issue expenses, etc. These costs are expensed in the period in
which they are incurred except for commission on long term motor insurance policies for new cars and new two
wheelers sold on or after September 1, 2018.

risks. The premium deficiency is calculated and duly certified by the Appointed Actuary.

4.8 Investments
Investments are recorded at cost on trade date and include brokerage, transfer charges, stamps etc., if any, and
exclude interest accrued up to the date of purchase.

(A) Classification
- Investments maturing within twelve months from balance sheet date and investments made with the
specific intention to dispose off within twelve months are classified as ‘short term investments’.

- Investments other than ‘short term investments’ are classified as ‘long term investments’.

Investments that are earmarked, are allocated separately to policyholder’s or shareholder’s, as applicable;
balance investments are segregated at Shareholder’s level and Policyholder’s level notionally based on
policyholder’s funds and shareholder’s funds at the end of period as prescribed by IRDAI.

(B) Valuation
Investments are valued as follows:
Debt securities and Non–convertible preference shares
All debt securities including government securities, non-convertible and redeemable preference shares and
Additional Tier 1 perpetual bonds are considered as ‘held to maturity’ and accordingly stated at amortised
cost determined after amortisation of premium or accretion of discount on a constant yield basis over the
holding period/maturity.

Equity shares and Convertible preference shares


Listed equities and convertible preference shares at the balance sheet date are stated at fair value, being
the last quoted closing price on the National Stock Exchange and in case these are not listed on National
Stock Exchange, then based on the last quoted closing price on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Mutual funds (Other than venture capital fund)


Mutual fund investments are stated at fair value, being the closing net asset value at balance sheet date.

Investment Properties – Real Estate


Investment Properties- Real Estate are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation (calculated
at the same rate as applicable for Fixed Assets-Buildings).

Investments other than those mentioned above are valued at cost.

(C) Fair Value Change Account

shares, convertible preference shares and mutual fund investments are taken to the ‘fair value change
account’. This balance in the fair value change account is not available for distribution, pending realisation.

168 ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited


(D) Impairment of Investments
The Company assesses at each Balance Sheet date whether any impairment has occurred in respect of
investment in equity, units of mutual fund, investment in venture fund/alternative investment fund (AIF)
and investment properties. The impairment loss, other than considered temporary, if any, is recognised in
the profit and loss account and the carrying value of such investment is reduced to its recoverable value.
If on the assessment at balance sheet date a previously impaired loss no longer exists, then such loss is
reversed to the profit & loss account and the investment is restated to that extent.

adjustment against expenses in those years.

A grant that becomes refundable is treated as an extraordinary item. The amount of such refundable grant

amount is charged immediately to the profit and loss account.

that is reasonably/virtually certain to be realised.

Goods and Service Tax

eligible input services, to the extent claimable, is adjusted and the net liability is remitted to the appropriate
authority. Unutilized GST credits, if any, are carried forward under “Other Assets” and disclosed in Schedule 12
for adjustment in subsequent periods. At the end of every reporting period, the company assesses whether
the unutilized GST credits are eligible for carrying forward as per the related legal provisions. Any ineligible GST

that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate
can be made. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best estimate
required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

Contingent losses arising from claims other than insurance claims, litigation, assessment, fines, penalties, etc.
are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

A disclosure for a contingent liability other than those under policies is made when there is a possible obligation
or a present obligation that may, but probably will not require an outflow of resources.

5.1.18 Employee Stock Option Scheme (ESOS)


The Company instituted the ESOS Scheme pursuant to the resolutions passed by our Board and
Shareholders on April 26, 2005 and July 22, 2005, respectively. The Company had granted Stock options
to employees in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Employee stock option
scheme and employee stock purchase scheme) guidelines, 1999. Pursuant to the ESOS Scheme,
no eligible employee could, in aggregate be granted in a financial year, options greater than 0.1% of
the issued equity share capital of the Company and the aggregate of options granted to the eligible
employees under the ESOS Scheme was capped at 5% of the issued capital of our Company as on the
date of such grants. ESOS Scheme was further amended pursuant to the resolutions passed by the
Board and Shareholders on June 9, 2017 and July 10, 2017, respectively, to approve the amendment
in the ESOS Scheme for, inter alia, aligning it with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share
Based Employee Benefits) Regulations, 2014. Further, the exercise price was finalized by the Board
Nomination and Remuneration Committee in concurrence with the Board based on an independent
valuer’s report. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company has granted options under the
ESOS scheme in compliance with Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee

The estimated fair value is computed on the basis of Black- Scholes option for Performance ESOP
(2018) and Special ESOP (2018) issued during the year ended March 31, 2019. No options are vested
during the year ended March 31, 2019 and ` 37,081 thousand (previous year: ` 359,347 thousand) was
realised by exercise of options.

The company follows intrinsic value method and hence there was no charge in the Revenue Accounts
and Profit and Loss Account. Had the Company followed the fair value method for valuing its options
for the year ended, the charge to the Revenue Accounts and Profit and Loss Account would have
been higher by ` 176,244 thousand (Previous year ` NIL) and profit after tax would have been lower by
` 115,686 thousand (Previous year ` NIL). Consequently, the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per
share would have been ` 22.85 and ` 22.81 respectively.

The weighted average price of options exercised during the year ended March 31, 2019 is ` 102.5
(previous year: ` 130.1).
