Per IRDAI Form NL-36 (Business Channels Wise), "For the Quarter" column. Channels are grouped into ARGO's own 7-way classification (Brokers, Agents/POSP, Direct Website, Banks, Direct non-website, Corporate Agents, Others) — click a group with more than one channel to see its own breakdown. "Total, India" sums the 15 channels extracted here and excludes "Business outside India," a separate geography line on the same form. Some insurers report "Direct Business"'s sub-channels (Officers/Employees, Online, Others) as one combined figure rather than a real breakdown — shown as "Not disclosed" for those rows rather than guessed.
