EXPLANATORY STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 102(1) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
ITEM NO. 3
Walker & Chandiok & Co, LLP bearing registration number 001076N/N500013 and BSR & Co. LLP, bearing registration number 101248W/W-100022 were appointed as joint statutory auditors of the Company till the conclusion of 21st and 24th Annual General Meeting, respectively.
The remuneration for joint statutory auditors was ̀ 18.00 million plus out of pocket expenses (subject to a maximum of 5% of the audit remuneration) and taxes as applicable for FY2020.
It is proposed to pay the remuneration of ` 19.80 million plus out of pocket expenses (subject to a maximum of 5% of the audit remuneration) and taxes as applicable for FY2021. The increase in the audit fees is primarily on account of the inflationary increase in the costs of carrying out audit coupled with enhanced reporting requirements like key audit matters, reporting on other information, etc. which has resulted in additional time spent on the overall audit. Further, the audit fees have remained the same since FY2019 and proposed increase amounts to a 5% increase on an annualised basis.
Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Guidelines for Insurers issued by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), the Board of Directors (on the basis of the recommendation of the Board Audit Committee) at its Meeting held on April 25, 2020, has approved the revised audit remuneration, subject to the approval of the Members.

The digitalisation initiatives implemented have enabled us to augment efficiencies and productivity of partners and employees. Our device-agnostic digital platform provides customers with 24x7 access to their policies and empowers them to initiate and conclude service requests by themselves.

Our hyper-personalisation journey, built on the pillars of 3Vs – Video, Voice and Vernacular has just begun. Today, voice BOTS, video-based underwriting and multi-lingual communication are being used to more effectively interact with customers. Pilot projects have
been undertaken on a speech recognition and conversational humanoid AI tool, which can converse with customers in multiple languages. Advanced data analytics is enabling us to understand customers and their needs better. We will continue to use cutting-edge technologies as key differentiators to stay ahead of the curve and create more value for all our stakeholders.
