On the macro front, Kutty acknowledged that the recent GST reforms have generated positive expectations and this augurs well for the impact coming into the festive season."We eagerly await a full payment cycle to get completed for assessing the impact," he said. "The immediate uptick has been in third-party distribution, where consumers are paying less. But the tax credits that insurance firms used to get are gone, so there is an impact on the distribution income."
