Insurance Corporation Act (No. 2 of 1961) - Sect 14

Insurers carrying on life insurance business may transfer to the Corporation such business if the Corporation is satisfied after an investigation of the financial condition of the insurer's business that the assets of the business are more than, or equal to, the liabilities

14.
(1) Where any insurer who is carrying on life insurance business is of the opinion that, by reason of his inability to transact any new business of life insurance on or after the appointed date, it is beneficial to him to transfer such business to the Corporation, he may make an application in writing in that behalf to the Corporation.
(2) Upon an application being made by any insurer under subsection (1), the Corporation shall cause an investigation into the financial condition of such insurer's life insurance business, including a valuation of the assets and liabilities appertaining to such business, to be made by an actuary. The expenses of such investigation shall be defrayed by such insurer.
(3) If the report of the actuary reveals that the assets appertaining to the life insurance business of the insurer are more than, or equal to, the liabilities, then, the Corporation may direct the insurer by notice in writing to transfer all the assets referred to in the statement of the actuary and the policies of life insurance under which liabilities have not been discharged on the date of such notice to the Corporation. Upon such transfer the Corporation shall notify in writing the holder of each such policy that the rights and obligations of the insurer under such policy have been transferred by the insurer to the Corporation and such rights and obligations shall be exercised and discharged by the Corporation as if such policy had been issued by the Corporation.
