for a growth in their respective topline. The General Insurance market in India continues to grow at a healthy double-digit
rate of 18%-20%.

the middle class and youth, which will help to improve better penetration of the market in future.
Crop Insurance has also been growing at 20% and forms a significant part of the overall insurance portfolio. The Union

(PMFBY) with an intention to achieve better coverage and increasing the number of beneficiaries.
The Regulatory Authority has been exploring ways and means to promote digitalisation of the insurance sector which is
expected to bring more number of people under the insurance umbrella and provide opportunities to the customers to
enjoy seamless services in terms of policy issuance and servicing.
During the year, post IRDAI approvals, foreign Reinsurers have opened branches in India. This move has brought the
foreign Reinsurers closer to the market, providing better knowledge of the local market conditions and trends which
will result in quicker response and potentially increased Reinsurance capacity. All these will facilitate further growth and

REMUNERATION POLICY
Objective
To put in place a policy relating to remuneration payable to the employees including the key management personnel of
the Company.
Philosophy
The underlying principle of any pay for performance philosophy is “Procedural Justice” and “Distributive Justice”.
This applies to the Key Management Personnel as much as it applies to all employees.
Royal Sundaram’s philosophy is to provide pay & benefit programs that support our objective of becoming a leading
insurance company in India that attracts high performing people. This philosophy supports the principle that employees
are our source of strength and that pay and benefits program should reward employee contribution to customer satisfaction,
quality, efficiency, growth and teamwork.
Royal Sundaram has a Compensation Programme which provides employees with pay & benefits that, in total, are
Competitive with other leading Companies.
Direct pay is the most visible compensation employees receive for the work they perform at Royal Sundaram. The
Company’s pay program is a pay-for-performance system. It is designed to recognize differences in job levels and to reward
job performance.
How is competitive pay determined
Each year a Salary & Benefit Survey is done to view the Compensation Levels and pay practices of other relevant companies.
This data helps in designing and administering compensation programs that are competitive with other leading companies
for similar positions.
Royal Sundaram participates in Salary Surveys commissioned by other companies through a reputed consulting firm each
year. Royal Sundaram further gathers information independently through the year.
The Salary Administration programme
To help ensure fairness and consistency, Royal Sundaram’s salary administration program is intended to reflect the value of
the job and recognize employee’s job performance. It provides:
• Incentives for employees to achieve salary increases through job performance – job performance directly influences
salary
• The ability to employ people with high level qualifications needed to meet the Company’s objectives.
How value is measured
The employee’s reward for contributions to the Company’s continued success is based on two measures of value:
• The value of employee’s job
• The value of employee’s individual performance
The review is based on characteristics like job complexity and how much independent judgement, skills and education are
needed to perform the job.
The competitive data is used to develop a salary range for each salary grade. The ranges are comparable to those for similar
jobs at the companies participating in the compensation surveys reviewed.
Salary can progress in the salary grade range through merit increases, which are linked to performance.
27
2017-18
Royal Sundaram General Insurance Co. Limited
Salary ranges
Royal Sundaram periodically reviews salary grade ranges and may adjust them to ensure that the 2nd and 3rd quartile of
comparable companies fits into our salary range. This ensures that our employees with good performance levels can get
salaries equivalent to the target quartile of comparable companies. The review is done effective April each year.
Salary grades
The salary grades have been spread within a four level structure. The job levels are four but salary grades are 14 to factor in
the progression needs of the employees. All employees within a level will have comparable profiles.
The four job level are as follows:
a. Officer: The positions in this level perform “analyst” roles, where the major task is analysis of information/data and
implementation of policies and procedures.
b. Manager: These position perform “specialist” role where the major task is designing systems and monitoring

recycled to the Profit and Loss Account.
iv. At each Balance Sheet date the company assesses impairment if any in the value, by examining if the investee
company has been making losses continuously for the last three years and also its net worth is eroded, and
recognizes the resultant impairment as an expense in the Revenue/Profit and Loss Account.
(g) Mutual funds – Liquid Funds / Gilts / Debt Funds
i. Measured at each Balance Sheet date at the fair value, being the realisable Net Asset Value.
ii. Any unrealised gains or losses arising due to changes in the fair value at each Balance Sheet date are accounted

iii. Profit/Loss on actual sale of units of a particular mutual fund shall include the accumulated fair value change
thereof and is recycled to the Profit and Loss Account.
iv. At each Balance Sheet date the company assesses impairment if any in the value, by examining if the realisable

impairment as an expense in the Revenue/Profit and Loss Account.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
In accordance with Part IV Schedule B of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Preparation of
Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report of Insurance Companies) Regulations, 2002, the following Report is submitted
by the Management:
1. We confirm that the Certificate of Registration granted by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of
India, to transact general insurance business, continues to be valid. The fee for renewal of the Certificate of Registration
has been paid for 2017-2018.
2. We certify that all dues payable to the Statutory Authorities have been duly paid.

Statutory/Regulatory requirements.
4. We declare that the funds of the holders of policies issued in India have not been directly or indirectly invested outside
India.
5. The Company has maintained the required solvency margins.
6. The values of all the assets have been reviewed on the date of the Balance Sheet and in our belief the assets set forth
in the Balance Sheet are shown in the aggregate at amounts not exceeding their realisable or market value under the
headings ‘Investments’, ‘Interest, Dividends and Rents accruing but not due’, ‘Amounts due from other persons or
Bodies carrying on insurance business’, ‘Cash’ and the several items specified under ‘Other Accounts’, except debt
securities which are shown at amortised cost.
7. The Company is exposed to a variety of risks such as quality of risks underwritten, fluctuations in the value of assets,
operational risks and higher expenses.
The Company through an appropriate reinsurance programme has kept its risk exposure at a level commensurate with
its capacity.
During the year under report, the Company’s Management expense are within the allowable limit in all segments
prescribed in IRDAI ( Expense of Management of Insurer transacting General and Health Insurance Business) Regulation,
2016.

in respect of Health Insurance Covers to BPL families of a State under the RSBY scheme within 30 days from the date
of intimation of the premium to the Government as per Rule 59(a) of the Insurance Rules.
The Company monitors these risks closely and effective remedial action is taken wherever required.
8. The Company does not have operations in other countries and hence related country/currency fluctuation risk is not
applicable.
