The item "Minimum Capital Requirement" must be the maximum value of "Combined MCR" and "Absolute floor of the MCR" reported in S.28.01 (S.22.01, S.28.01, EIOPA rule BV1423)

A blocking check on the impact of long-term guarantees measures and transitionals (S.22.01) and minimum capital requirement - only life or only non-life insurance or reinsurance activity (S.28.01) templates, in the annual solo (ARS) and annual branch (ARB) returns.

It applies to 2.8.2 returns too, the release for the 2026 returns, and Line4 Check runs it there as well.

The rule in plain words

The item "Minimum Capital Requirement" must be the maximum value of "Combined MCR" and "Absolute floor of the MCR" reported in S.28.01

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.28.01 as reported.

{t: S.28.01.01.05, r: R0400, c: C0070, z: Z0001} = max({t: S.28.01.01.05, r: R0340, c: C0070, z: Z0001}, {t: S.28.01.01.05, r: R0350, c: C0070, z: Z0001})

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
