As per the terms of the agreement, which is slated to be made public soon, Axis Bank will get three to four seats on the board of Max Life Insurance.

In February this year, the media reports first emerged that Axis Bank is holding talks to purchase more than 20% stake in Max Life Insurance.

Axis Bank distributes a number of insurance plans of Max Life under a bancassurance pact, which accounts for approximately 54% of Max Life’s revenue.

The latest deal will bolster the strategic and long-term partnership between the companies and will also eliminate the uncertainty about a bancassurance partner for the insurance company.

Max Life Insurance, which was founded in 2010, offers a range of health, pension, and annuity. It also offers child, protection, retirement, savings, and growth plans to individuals and to groups.
