Item reported in Minimum Capital Requirement - Only life or only non-life insurance or reinsurance activity must be positive (S.28.01, EIOPA rule BV918)

A blocking check 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

Item reported in Minimum Capital Requirement - Only life or only non-life insurance or reinsurance activity (S.28.01) must be positive

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value below zero in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.28.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
