Participating or ‘par’ policies are life insurance plans where the insurance company shares its profits with policyholders in the form of bonuses. These plans create a mutual partnership between the insurer and the policyholders, reflecting shared financial success.

Out of the total bonus amount of Rs 3,722 crore, Rs 2,798 crore will be disbursed during the current financial year (FY25). This portion will be distributed as maturity bonuses or cash bonuses, directly benefiting the policyholders in the immediate term. The remaining bonus amount will be payable in the future, upon policy maturity, death, or surrender, ensuring continued financial benefits for policyholders.
Vibha Padalkar, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of HDFC Life, expressed her delight at the increase in bonuses for policyholders. She emphasized the long-term nature of life insurance policies and the role of bonuses in rewarding the loyalty of policyholders throughout the policy term. Padalkar stated, “We are committed to providing the best products and services to our policyholders, ensuring value for all our stakeholders.”
Conclusion
