The front of the new-business book — APE pipeline by stage (protection, annuity, non-par, ULIP), forecast vs plan, win/loss, and the deals that decide the quarter.
Q3 FY26 commit ₹24,500 Cr sits ₹1,500 Cr below the ₹26,000 Cr plan — ₹3,000 Cr of best-case upside must convert to make the number. Coverage is 0.9x on ₹24,270 Cr of pipeline; the call is winnable but only if the at-risk upside is forced to close.
2 of 3 headline metrics improving vs prior · still off target: New Business Premium (NBP) ₹42,550 Cr vs ₹46,000 Cr, Assets under Management (AUM) ₹4,87,160 Cr vs ₹5,40,000 Cr
Commit ₹24,500 Cr is ₹1,500 Cr short of the ₹26,000 Cr Q3 FY26 plan — the gap that decides whether the quarter lands.
Each lapsed policy is renewal premium and embedded value that won't recur — persistency is the quality gauge.
₹-win-rate is 80% (₹20,300 Cr won vs ₹5,000 Cr lost); Peer VNB margin (lower-ULIP competitors) is the single largest leak at ₹2,600 Cr.
Early lapse drags renewal premium & embedded value — quality-of-sale and targeted win-back are the levers.
SBI Life is pursuing ₹24,270 Cr of APE pipeline across the funnel (₹10,356 Cr weighted). This view answers the distribution chief's two questions — will we make the quarter (forecast vs plan) and why we win or lose — and points at the deals that move the number.
Value and win-probability rise toward the close — weighted value is what to bank on.
Dark fill = win-probability within each stage's value. Weighted pipeline totals ₹10,356 Cr.
Commit, best-case and closed-to-date against the plan line.
Q3 FY26: commit ₹24,500 Cr is ₹1,500 Cr below the ₹26,000 Cr plan; ₹3,000 Cr of best-case upside must convert to close the gap. Black line = plan.
Clone the win reasons into low-win families; attack the top loss reason first.
Read it: bancassurance moat (sbi branch reach) wins the most (₹9,800 Cr); Peer VNB margin (lower-ULIP competitors) is the top loss (₹2,600 Cr) — tighten pricing discipline (see Proposal & Underwriting 360) before chasing new demand.
