Life insurers face a similar squeeze. The industry paid about ?24,000 crore in GST in FY24, offset by ? 14,000 crore of ITC. With credits no longer available, the new two-rate system leaves them facing a ?15,000 crore sector-wide hit, part of which will show up in company profit and loss accounts and embedded values. Despite the exemption, customers may not see a meaningful drop in premiums as insurers adjust pricing to recoup lost credits, analysts said.
