SBI Life on Wednesday reported Rs 77.6 crore net income for the March quarter, marginally up from the Rs 67.2 crore it had booked in the 12 trailing months, despite higher premium and margins.

The largest private sector life insurer in an exchange filing said its first-year premium inched up to Rs 408.9 crore from Rs 385.3 crore, and renewal premium rose to Rs 398.6 crore from Rs 281.2 crore, of which single premium income increased to Rs 1,989.6 crore from Rs 1,743.3 crore during the reporting quarter.

The bottom line was impacted by the massive fall in investment income, which came down to Rs 118.6 crore from Rs 299.9 crore in the year-ago period, the company informed the exchanges. It was also impacted by higher expenses, which rose to Rs 95.8 crore from Rs 87.2 crore.
