Bharti AXA Life Announces ₹205 Crore Bonus to Around 2 Lakh Policyholders for FY26

Bharti AXA Life Insurance has declared a total bonus of ₹205 crore for FY26 for policyholders holding participating, or with-profit, life insurance policies, as per news reports.  

The company said around 2 lakh policyholders will be eligible for the payout. The bonus applies to traditional participating policies that were in force as of March 31, 2026. 

Bonus Includes Revisionary, Terminal and Cash Components 

The insurer said the total payout consists of a revisionary bonus of ₹145 crore, a terminal bonus of ₹20 crore, and a cash bonus of ₹40 crore. 

Under participating policies, revisionary and terminal bonuses are generally paid at the time of maturity, surrender or claim settlement. Cash bonuses, where applicable, are paid during the policy term as per product conditions. 

Participating plans combine life insurance coverage with a savings element and allow policyholders to receive a share of the surplus generated by the participating fund. 

Traditional Plans Continue to See Demand 

Bharti AXA Life offers participating products across savings, income and child-focused insurance categories.  

Such policies remain part of the traditional life insurance segment, where returns are linked to bonus declarations made by insurers. 

Bonus rates and payouts vary depending on factors including policy type, tenure, and the performance of the participating fund. 

FY26 Business Growth 

The company also reported a 44% increase in new business premium for FY26. Bharti AXA Life said the growth was recorded during the financial year ended March 2026. 

Parag Raja said the declaration reflected the management of participating policyholder funds during the year.
