HDFC Life is expected to report an Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) of Rs 3,980 crore for Q3, which represents an 11.5% year-on-year growth but a 5% decline sequentially.

VNB reflects the profitability of new business generated during the period.
The VNB margin is anticipated to come in at 23.87%, which is lower by 218 basis points on a yearly basis and 22 basis points compared to the previous quarter.
