Housing Development Finance Corporation’s (HDFC) material subsidiary - HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company, on January 10, 2016, has incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary (WOS) in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) called the ‘HDFC International Life and Re Company’ (HILRCL) with an initial capital outlay of $12.33 million.
Further, HILRCL will operate in DIFC, and shall shortly commence its business operations, subject to completion of further regulatory formalities for obtaining the final license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority. HILRCL would be in the business of offering reinsurance capacity to ceding insurers and may also foray into directly underwriting insurance contracts, subject to receipt of necessary approvals. It would initially offer reinsurance capacity in the UAE and subsequently expand to other jurisdictions, using either of the aforesaid business models.
HDFC offers a whole gamut of products like loans to individuals, loans to corporates, construction finance, and lease rental discounting. The financial conglomerate has subsidiaries and associates in insurance (general and life), asset management, education finance, venture funds and banking services.
