Gross direct premium (not net earned premium) per IRDAI Form NL-4 (Premium Schedule), "for the quarter" column — these are standalone quarterly amounts, not running year-to-date totals. Segment-level net incurred claims in absolute rupees aren't shown here: IRDAI's segment-level claims filing (Form NL-5) hasn't been extracted for this insurer yet — see the combined ratio & ICR table below for the ratio form of this, sourced from NL-20.

Per IRDAI Form NL-20 (Analytical Ratios Schedule)'s own segmental breakdown, latest quarter only — this granularity isn't reliably available as a multi-quarter trend across insurers. Combined ratio here can legitimately differ from a simple "ICR + expense" sum when a segment's own expense-to-net-written-premium ratio is unusually negative or positive for the quarter — reported exactly as filed, not recalculated.
