Their bonus announcement also included a special reversionary bonus of Rs 206 crore for selected equity-linked participating plans. In a similar vein, Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance announced a bonus of Rs 1,178 crore for the fiscal year 2025, marking a 17 percent year-on-year hike.

 The company has maintained a consistent streak of bonus payouts for 24 consecutive years, and current year's bonus will affect over 7 lakh policyholders. Tata AIA Life recorded a total premium income of  Rs 25,692 crore for the fiscal year 2024. Which is  indicating a upto 25 percent of growth from the prior year.
