Minimum capital requirement - only life or only non-life insurance or reinsurance activity: values must agree (S.28.01, EIOPA rule BV1432)

A warning on the minimum capital requirement - only life or only non-life insurance or reinsurance activity template (S.28.01), 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 "Overall MCR calculation - MCR cap" shall be calculated as 45% of the SCR including any capital add-on in accordance with Article 129(3) of the Directive 2009/138/EC

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it. It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.28.01 as reported.
