Why it matters
Kotak Neo gave individual market share as 16.2% against 16.1% in the first quarter.
Good to know: Annualised premium equivalent (APE) counts regular premiums in full and a tenth of single premiums, so new policies of different types can be added together. The value of new business is the present value of profits expected from policies sold in the period.
