Ind. Code § 27-1-12-11

in effect

Sec. 11. (a) After the department has ascertained the net reserve value of all policies under IC 27-1-12.8-18 or the reserve liabilities under IC 27-1-12.8 of any life insurance company organized and doing business in this state, the department shall notify said company of the amount or amounts thereof. Within sixty (60) days after the date of such notification, the officers of such company shall deposit with the department, solely for the security and benefit of all its policyholders, assets in an amount, invested in accordance with section 2 of this chapter (except paragraph 20 of section 2(b) of this chapter) which together with the assets already deposited with the department and such additional assets as may be deposited by said company with other states or governments, pursuant to the requirements of the laws of such other states or governments in which said company is doing business, shall be not less than the lesser of the amount of such reserve value or reserve liabilities or the amount provided under subsection (f). No life insurance company organized under this article or any other law of this state shall be required to make such deposit until the amount prescribed by this subsection exceeds the amount deposited by said company under IC 27-1-6-14 or IC 27-1-6-15. Investments in real estate shall be deposited in the form of satisfactory evidences of ownership. The deposit requirement in relation to policy loans and bank deposits shall be considered fulfilled by the inclusion of such item in the company's annual statement, but subject to the right of the company at any time, and the obligation of the company on demand of the department, to file with the department a certificate as to the amount of such item. (b) If the department in the course of the year ascertains that the net reserve value of a company's policies under IC 27-1-12.8-18 or its reserve liabilities under IC 27-1-12.8 exceeds such company's deposits as required by subsection (a), it may require such company within sixty (60) days to increase its deposit to the required amount. (c) Nothing in this article shall prevent the deposit of bonds, mortgages, or other securities which meet the investment requirements of a foreign or alien state or country, to an amount not exceeding the amount of the reserves on policies issued to residents of, and to corporations doing business in, such state or country. If, pursuant to the law of a foreign or alien state or country in which an Indiana life insurance company is doing business, securities belonging to such a company are required to be deposited within the boundaries of such foreign or alien state or country, credit for the amount of such deposit, not exceeding the amount of the reserves on policies issued to residents of, and to corporations doing business in, such foreign or alien state or country, may be taken by the company as an offset against its deposits required under this article. (d) If, pursuant to the law of a foreign or alien state or country, a life insurance company domiciled in the foreign or alien state or country is not permitted a reserve credit for reserves maintained by a reinsurer foreign to such a state or country, except on the condition that the amount of such reserve be deposited with the insurance supervisory official of such state or country, a deposit credit for the amount of such reserves so deposited shall be allowed a domestic life insurance company accepting reinsurance from companies domiciled in such state or country. (e) Any deposit of assets with the department pursuant to any law superseded by this chapter shall, prior to the first deposit date contemplated in subsection (a), be continued with the department and otherwise be subject to this section. (f) The amount of the deposit, except as otherwise provided in subsection (a), shall be one million dollars ($1,000,000) excluding policy loans and bank deposits, or such greater amount as the department deems necessary to protect the interests of the policyholders of a particular company by an order to the company to deposit additional amounts under this section.
