Electronic Input Templates for Statistical Returns

Under the insurance regulatory framework, insurers are required to submit statistical returns to the Insurance Authority ("IA") on a quarterly and annual basis. To facilitate data input and submission by the insurers, the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance has developed electronic input templates ("e-templates") for the statistical returns.

The input templates and User Guides of the returns are available for downloading from Returns/Forms. For the manner, format and procedures for the electronic submission of e-templates, please refer to the Explanatory Note [PDF]. For completion of statutory returns which involve multiple signatories and the attachment of an auditor's report, please refer to the Sample Workflow [PDF].
