IME Life Insurance Earns NPR 36 Crore Profit in Q3 FY 2082/83: Life Insurance Fund Nears NPR 17 Billion
7th May 2026, Kathmandu
The Nepali insurance landscape continues to show resilience and expansion, with IME Life Insurance profit and business volume showing a positive trajectory in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2082/83.
IME Life Insurance Profit
According to the unaudited financial statements for the period ending in Chaitra, the company has successfully navigated market fluctuations to post a net profit of NPR 36.79 crore.
While the bottom-line growth remained steady, the real story of the quarter lies in the explosive growth of the company’s premium collection and the massive expansion of its life insurance fund. These indicators suggest that IME Life Insurance is aggressively capturing market share and building a robust financial cushion for future policyholder obligations.
Net Profit and Earnings Performance
For the first nine months of the current fiscal year, IME Life Insurance reported a net profit of NPR 36.79 crore. This is a marginal increase from the NPR 36.63 crore reported during the same period in the previous fiscal year. While the profit growth was stable, it is important to note that this was achieved alongside a significant increase in operational scale and commission payouts.
The company’s Earnings Per Share (EPS) currently stands at NPR 9.81, reflecting a minor increase of NPR 0.04 compared to the previous year. Additionally, the net worth per share is reported at NPR 131.49, indicating a healthy book value for the company’s investors.
Explosive Growth in Net Insurance Premium Income
One of the most impressive highlights of the report is the surge in premium collection. The company witnessed a staggering 39.18 percent growth in its net insurance premium income. In the previous fiscal year, this figure sat at NPR 3.60 billion, but it has now jumped to more than NPR 5.01 billion.
This growth reflects a successful expansion in the insurance business, likely driven by innovative policy offerings and a more active agent network. It highlights the growing trust of the Nepali public in the life insurance sector as a means of long-term financial security.
Life Insurance Fund Nears the NPR 17 Billion Milestone
The life insurance fund—the most critical indicator of a life insurer’s long-term health—saw a massive 42 percent expansion during the review period. The fund grew from NPR 11.84 billion in the previous year to more than NPR 16.83 billion by the end of Chaitra.

A larger fund size not only indicates higher policyholder contributions but also provides the company with more capital to deploy into income-generating investments. This growth places IME Life Insurance in a strong position to honor future claims and continue its expansion across Nepal.
Rising Income, Expenses, and Agent Commissions
With larger business volumes come higher operational costs. The company’s total income rose by approximately 28 percent, moving from NPR 4.82 billion to NPR 6.17 billion. Simultaneously, total expenses increased by around 30 percent, reaching NPR 5.81 billion.
A significant portion of these expenses is linked to agent commissions. By the end of Chaitra, the company had paid NPR 43.64 crore to its agents, which is nearly 30 percent higher than the previous year. This rise in commission expenses is a clear indicator of stronger business acquisition activities and a more motivated sales force working to reach new customers.
Financial Position and Solvency
Despite the rapid expansion, IME Life Insurance has maintained a very healthy solvency position. The company reports a solvency ratio of 2.59, which is well above the regulatory requirements. This ensures that the company remains financially sound and capable of absorbing unexpected risks.
The company’s overall financial position remains robust with:
- Paid-up Capital: NPR 5 billion
- Disaster Reserve Fund: NPR 29.95 crore
- General Reserve Fund: NPR 52.08 crore
- Total Investment Portfolio: Over NPR 20.75 billion
- Total Asset Base: More than NPR 24.69 billion
These figures demonstrate a well-diversified and growing asset base, which is crucial for maintaining the company’s long-term stability in the competitive insurance market.
Conclusion
The third-quarter financial report of IME Life Insurance Company Limited highlights a period of significant scale-up. While IME Life Insurance profit showed a modest uptick, the 39% surge in premium income and the 42% growth in the life insurance fund signal a dominant market performance. By maintaining a strong solvency ratio and a rapidly expanding investment portfolio, the company is well-positioned to remain a leader in Nepal’s life insurance sector for the remainder of the fiscal year and beyond.
