For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, Canara HSBC Life reported a surplus of ₹182 crore, marking a 15% increase from the previous fiscal year.
Canara HSBC Oriental Bank of Commerce Life Insurance rebranded itself to Canara HSBC Life Insurance in 2022. PNB's move aligns with regulatory changes by IRDAI, allowing banks to hold equity stakes in two life insurers, including Canara HSBC Life.
Previously, PNB's Managing Director and CEO Atul Kumar Goel stated no immediate plans to sell the stake. IRDAI's revised norms allow banks to hold up to 25% equity in two life insurers.
PNB's decision is subject to regulatory approval. The bank aims to list Canara HSBC Life Insurance on the BSE/NSE through the IPO route, facilitating the stake dilution process.
