Distribution and partner network

38,225 MFD partners on the platform as of June 2026; partner additions accelerated to ~600 per month in Q1 FY27 from a run-rate of ~430 per month in FY26, driven by regulatory changes that reduced incomes for non-GST standalone MFDs.^[1]

Expansion plans

Plan to add ~30 new branches in FY27; more than 12 already operationalised in Q1 FY27.^[1]

Regulatory developments

The new TER structure makes commission rates exclusive of GST, removing the structural advantage that non-GST MFDs previously had over GST-registered distributors, which management expects to accelerate migration of smaller MFDs onto the Prudent platform.^[4][5]
Most health insurers reduced commission rates by 18% from October 2025 following the reduction of GST to a nil rate on retail health insurance; the impact on life insurance commissions was negotiated down to below 10%.^[4]
