The rule in plain words
The MCR reported in Minimum Capital Requirement (IR.28.02.01.05) - Both life and non-life insurance activity should be calculated in accordance with Article 248 (1) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35
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 blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.28.02 as reported.
