Persistency across cohorts declined to 13th/61st months persistency decreased by 140 basis points/20 basis points QoQ.

Q1 FY21 of new business (VNB) declined 43% YoY, and thus, VNB margins moderated to 24.3% (versus 29.8% in Q1 FY20) on the back of lower mix of non-PAR savings. Overall, we expect VNB margins to gradually improve to approximaely 26% by FY22E, led by balanced product mix. Maintain Neutral.
