SBI Life Insurance maintains steady asset growth and strong policy retention, while equity fund returns and rising customer complaints require monitoring.

Equity Elite II returns fell from 17.0% in Q1 FY26 to 8.7% in Q1 2026-27 — broader market headwinds
Total assets expanded from ₹4,781.8 Cr in Q1 FY26 to ₹5,260.5 Cr in Q1 2026-27 — consistent balance sheet growth
Grievance ratio surged from 5 in Q1 FY26 to 13 in Q1 2026-27 — worsening customer complaint trends
13th-month persistency ratio held at 87.1% in Q1 FY26 and improved to 87.7% in Q1 2026-27 — stable short-term policy retention
Total cost ratio rose from 10.8% in Q1 FY26 to 12.0% in Q1 2026-27 — increasing operational expense pressure

Company insights, generated from the most recent coverage.
Agency has been built to ~30% of sales across 293,443 agents, and the Insurance Act amendment ruling out open architecture for agents means this force sells only SBI Life — a structural hedge against bancassurance commission caps.
VNB margins are guided to hold at 27-28% in FY27 even after absorbing the GST hit, because product diversification and pricing discipline offset distribution-cost pressure.
ULIPs give SBI Life revenue that sits outside the commission cap — fund management charges, policy administration charges, loyalty additions and switching fees all keep accruing after first-year commission is capped.
