field of study. It is a plunge into the vast ocean of hidden treasures, which are revealed by

turning the pages of books. This process is further supported by practical exposure in the

concerned field in the form of an internship program. An internship program aims at

grooming the best executives of the future and exposes them to the real processes in the field.

Therefore the department has organized a comprehensive training program to carve a gem

out of their potential.

internship and my experience during the period of two months was extremely beneficial. I

gained an insight into first hand knowledge and got awareness of their management and

working.

procedure learnt and observed. In this report is discussed the vision and mission of the

insurance company as a service provider together with a very comprehensive history of the

DEPARTMENTAL STAGES

WHAT IS INSURANCE?

A promise of compensation of specific future losses in exchange for a periodic

payment. Insurance is designed to protect the financial well-being of an individual, company

or other entity in the case of upexpected loss. Some forms of insurance are required by law,

while other are optional. Agreeing to the terms of an insurance policy creates contract

between the insured and the insurer. In exchange for payments from the insured (called

premiums), the insurer agrees to pay the policy holder a sum of money upon the occurrence

of a specific event. In most cases, the policy holder pays part of the loss (called the

deductible) and the insurer pays the rest.

Insurance is a system by which a risk is transferred by a person, business, or

organization to an insurance company, which reimburses the insured for covered losses and

provides for sharing the costs of losses among all insured. Risk, transfer, and sharing are

vital elements of insurance.

Insurance people are no longer in the business of forming fire bridges to put out fires

at members’ homes, as they did centuries ago. But the idea of combining resources to protect

against loss is still basic to the insurance business.

Insurance companies are new financial institutions. They sell insurance policies to

protect people against financial hardship caused by accidental losses. The insurance

company is an insurer. A person, business, or organization that is covered, or ‘insured’ by a

an insurance policy is referred to as an insured.

The purchase an insurance policy and become an insured, an insurance buyer pays a

fee, call an insurance premium, to the insurance company. To keep the insurance policy in

effect, the insured pays more premiums at periodic intervals.

15



The insurance company pools these premiums to form a fund from which those

insured who suffer lossess – unfortunate victims of fire, vehicle accidents, earthquakes, and

so on can be reimbursed. Each insured pays a relatively small amount (the premium) into the

pool. These relatively small premiums, added together, develop a sizeable fund from which

payments are made to compensate the insured who have losses. In this way, for responsible

cost, each insured can be sure that a loss will not cause undue financial hardship.

16

TYPES OF INSURANCE

Different Insurance Companies offer many types of insurance policies according to

the market demand and according to the compay’s financial situation as well. So here some

of the most known insurance policies are discussed as follows:-

Non – Life or General Insurance

Life Insurance

GENERAL INSURANCE

Non-Life insurance is also called property and casualty insurance, property and

liability insurance or general insurance. In purchasing non life insurance, the customer is

buying financial protection against a specific insurable event, such as industrial injury.

Policies are typically short term (one year) indemnity (i.e. the customer will be compensated

in an agreed manner) contracts. Normally, there is no investment element or expectation of

financial return.

Non life insurance is further classified along personal and commercial lines.

Fire insurance

Marine insurance

Automobile insurance

Miscellaneous insurance

18



PRINCIPALS OF INSURANCE

Insurance based on the following principles:

UTMOST GOOD FAITH

“A positive duty voluntarily to disclose, accurately and fully, all facts material to the

risk being proposed, whether requested or not.”

Ordinary contracts are subject to the doctrine of ‘Caveat emptor’ (let the buyer

beware) but insurance policies are subject to ‘Uberrima fields’ (Utmost good faith),

which requires both the parties, insured and insurers to exercise utmost good faith and

make full and complete disclosure of all material facts.

Important feature of insurance contact in that all material facts concerning subject

matter of insurance are known by only one of the parties that is proper. The duty of

full disclosure mainly rests on the proposer. They may be a few instances of breach

of duty of full disclosure by insurers, such as:

o Accepting an insurance which they know is not enforceable at law or which

they are not registered to underwrite.

o Making untrue statements during the negotiation with the prosposer

MATERIAL FACT:

Every circumstances is material which would influence the judgement of a prudant

insurer in fixing the premium or determining whether, he will take the risk.

FACT, WHICH MUST BE DISCLOSED:

Full facts relating to the description of the subject matter of insurance.

Facts which show that the particular risk represent a greater exposure than would be

expected from its nature or class.

External facts which make the risk greater than normally expected.

Declinature or special imposed on previous proposals by other insurers.

Existence of other insurance policies.

19



FACT WHICH NEED NOT BE DISCLOSED:

Facts of law

Facts of common knowledge

Facts which lessen the risk

Facts which could reasonable be discovered

Facts which a survey should have revealed

Fact covered by policy condition

INSURABLE INTEREST

“The legal right to insure arising out of a financial relationship recongnized at law

between the insured and the subject matter of insurance.

ESSENTIALS OF INSURABLE INTEREST:

There must be some property, life, interest and potential liability;

Which must be the subject matter of insurance

Relationship between the insured and subject matter of insurance must be recognized

at law.

The insured must stand in are pationship with the subject matter of insurance whereby

he benefits from its safety, well being or freedom liability and prejudiced by its

damage or existence of liability.

WHEN INSURABLE INTEREST MUST EXIST:

For life insurance at the time of inspection

For marine Cargo at the time of loss

For other insurances at the time of inception and at the time of loss

20



PROXIMATE CAUSE

“Proximate cause means the active, efficient cause that sets in motion a chain of

events which bring a result, without intervention of any force started and working actively

from a new source.”

If the insured seeks to claim from his insurer for a loss, he must show that the loss

was caused as a result of a peril covered by the policy. There must be a direct

relationship of cause and effect, of which the cause must be proximate in

efficiency though not necessary in point of time. This takes into account that a

particular effect may be the result of a chain of causes in which each cause is a

natural result of the preceding cause, but the chain of causation may be broken by

intervention of a new and independent cause.

It is the dominant cause, not necessarily, the first cause not the last cause. In case

there are several causes operating, the proximate one will be the dominant, more

forceful one operating to bring about the result.

One method of coming to a decision is to begin with the first event in the chain

and imagine what is logically likely to happen next. If the answer leads to the

second even and so on until final event, then the fist event is the proximate cause

of loss.

21



INDEMNITY

“To place the insured in the same financial position after a loss as he enjoyed

immediately before the loss.

Doctrine of indemnity is of central importance to the operation of insurance.

Insurance policies are contracts of indemnity except life and Personal Accident

Insurances where it is not possible to measure loss of life, limb and permanent

disablement in terms of money.

There are at least four methods, the insurer may use to provide indemnity, when a

valid claim arise. The wording of the policy usually gives the insurer the right to

choose which method to adopt.

CASH PAYMENT:

This is the method adopted in most of the cases. A cheque for the amount of loss,

payable under the policy is issued to the insured.

REPAIRS:

Under this method insurer provides all the expenses regarding the repairs of the

insured subject or get the subject repaired from his authorized repairer.

REPLACEMENT:

Generally speaking replacement method does not appeal to insurers and seldom used

to provide indemnity.

REINSTATEMENT:

22



If refers to property insurance, where an insurer undertaking to restore or rebuild a

building or a piece of machinery damaged by peril insured. This option is rarely exercised

because of potential problem. Firstly, the insurer must restore the property substantially to

the same condition, failing which he will be liable in damages. Secondly, unless there is

express condition in the policy, the insurer cannot limit his expenditure to the sum insured.

He is bound once he has elected to reinstate, to do so irrespective of the cost.

23



SUBROGATION

“It is the right of the insurer who has granted an indemnity to receive, after payment

of a loss, the advantage of every right of the insured, arising previously or in the future,

including rights in contract or in tort, which may diminish the insured’s loss.”

The doctrine of Subrogation has been adopted solely for the purpose of

preventing the insured from recovering more than a true indemnity, and it

does not arise from any of the terms of a policy of insurance.

Subrogation rights apply only where there is legal liability and do not apply in

respect of a gift of a charitable nature which is clearly expressed to benefit the

insured exclusively. Thus, if the insurers make an ex gratia payments they

are thereby deprived of any subrogation rights to which they would otherwise

have been entitled.

Rights to subrogation may accrue to the insurers as a result of tort or of

contract or of the provisions of a stature.

o Tort: In the case of a fidelity guarantee, the insurers are entitled to

claim against the defaulter re-imbursement of the amount which they

have paid.

o Contract: If goods are lost or destroyed in the hands of a bailee, such s

a carrier, the insurers may sue the bailee upon the contract of bailment.

o Statue: Where property is damaged in a riot, the property owner, by

virtue of the Riot (Damages) Act 1886 is entitled to compensation out

of the police rate for the district.

24



CONTRIBUTION

“Where the insured has more than one policy under which claim for a particular loss,

there is, in the absence of a specific condition, nothing to prevent him the sum insured under

the policy he chooses is adequate to cover his loss.”

An insured may effect more than one policy to cover the same property or

interest, he can not recover in total more than a full indemnity.

The right contribution arises only when all the policies concerned:

o Cover the same peril,

o Cover the same subject matter and

o Are effected by or on behalf of the same insured.

Property and pecuniary insurances generally, but not invariably, contain an

express contribution condition.

If at the time of any destruction of or damage to any property

hereby insured there be any other insurance defected by or on

behalf of the insured covering any of the property destroyed or

damaged, the liability of the company hereunder shall be limited to

its rate able proportion of such loss or damage.

25



INSURANCE SECTOR IN PAKISTAN

At the time of independence, the country had 5 domestic and 77 foreign insurance

companies. There companies were regulated under the insurance Act of 1938. The

government in 1948 established the Department of Insurance within the domain of Ministry

of Commerce to supervise the affairs of insurance industry and to safeguard the interests of

the insured. The Act was amended in 1958 for the fist time keeping in view the requirements

of domestic market and to have effective control over the insurance premium rates. Since

then, various amendments have been made in the Act.

The Department of Insurance further created the Controller of Insurance for the

supervising insurance business in the country.

WORKING OF VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS

49



RATING & UNDERWRITING DEPARTMENT

50



RATING AND UNDERWRITING

The accurate rating of risk can make the difference between profit and loss for an

insurer. Setting too low a rate for a particular type of motor insurance risk will result in a

loss for each policy written and particularly with the advent of computer quotation systems,

such ‘bargains’ will be unearthed, thus leading to a flood of similar non-profit-making

business.

Conversely, a higher rate than is warranted will lead to potentially profitable business

going to a cheaper competitor. The process whereby the market place will seed out and

exploit weaknesses in rating structures is known as “selection” and can destroy an account.

Rating is based upon experience. Firstly, there is the experience of the market as a whole

and secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the experience of the particular insurer.

In order to maximize the accuracy and therefore, the benefits of the latter it is

essential that data is held electronically in a format that will allow sophisticated analysis.

This facilitates the use of statistics to the rating of motor insurance risk and as a result,

insurer have been more willing to employ actuaries either in the underwriting department or,

at the very least, have an actuary who can provide input in the risk assessment process.

The underwriting department issues the policies after careful evaluation of associated

risks which comes for coverage; it is the duty of the Underwiting Department to examine the

risk and take all precautionary steps for evaluation before issuing policies / cover notes which

the company’s management has determined.

The top level management has established overall underwriting plans and strategies,

and the underwriting department is responsible to follow and develop specific guidelines to

cope with the policy and strategy formed and implemented by the top level management of

the company. With board strategy and specific directives aligned, the department executes

51



the risk selection and risk pricing process. The department also keeps in mind all of the

underwriting elements before designing and pricing an insurance cover note.

OBJECTIVES OF UNDERWRITING DEPARTMENT

To evaluate and reduce the risk, specifically in respect of expected claims.

To provide maximum protection and better services to our clients.

To provide complete information and guidelines about the insurance to our clients

when ever required.

To ensure optimization of cost.

To develop a sound relationship with all other functioning departments of the

company.

MAIN FUNCIONS OF UNDER WRITING DEPARTMENT

The responsibility of the Underwriting Department is to examine, accept or reject the

business containing on day to day work.

First of all when any client who wants insurance policy to protect his stokes or any

property, the staff of the Underwriting Department is involved in this matter to feel

the hazards which are associated with the risks come for insured. There are two main

hazards physical and moral hazard that the underwriting department keeps in mind

when issuing any property. In physical hazards, it is important to remember that the

structural condition for the insured property. If a severe moral hazard exist, then no

rate is adequate to compensate for such hazards. Decisions of the under writing

department are of two types which are as follows: -

o Decision on applying an insured’s existing policy for a specific request for

coverage.

o Decision on new risk coverage.

Once the Underwriting Department has decided that a risk is acceptable, it finally

undertakes solid steps to evaluate all risks.

52



Then it examines the authenticity of cover notes issued by marketers. It carefully

examines the interest rates written on the cover notes according to the tariff rates

provided by the Insurance Association of Pakistan. Then identify risks associated in

each cover note and then classify as hazards or non-hazards. It also ensures all

warranties and clauses included in the cover note / policy. After this its responsibility

is to examine the parties involved in insurance (preferences is given to those cover

notes and policies where banks or financial institutions are involved.

Finally after the completion of the assessment of risks, rating procedure and

warranties, the authorized insurance policies documents are issued to the particular

clients.

53



CLAIMS DEPARTMENT

54



PRINCIPALES OF CLAIMS HANDLING

It is when the policyholder needs to make a claim that he value of the cover and the

claims service is put to the test. It is, therefore, no surprise that the claims department has

been describing as the shop window of an insurance company.

Whilst motor insurance, particularly private motor, is old largely by price,

nonetheless and does effect a policyholder’s decision as to whether they renew with their

current insurance following submission of a claim.

The claims department must balance the necessity to provide a high degree of service

with the requirement to be satisfied that the claims presented are valid. Once their validity is

proven, then the next stage is to quantify accurately each claim.

The role of the claims department is to:

Indemnity the policyholder in accordance with cover purchased.

Ensure that only valid claims are paid.

Provide a fast, fair, and efficient claims service.

Deal with third party claims whilst protecting the policy holder’s interests and

Protect the fund of premiums against overpayments, fraud and expenses incurred due

to inefficient claims handling processes.

CLAIM PROCESS

Claim process varies according to the: -

Class of business

The type of cover

The amount of the claim

55



Whether it is a personal or commercial risk insured

CLAIM REVIEW

This involves the analysis of the claim by the insurer in the light of such things as:

The appropriateness of the amount claimed

The personal form e.g., whether the claim contradicts earlier statements

The exact terms of the policy, which are often, open the interpretation.

Legal requirements.

Market practice

Corporate claims philosophy

RESPONSE TO CLAIMANT

The initial response from the insurer to the insured may be only an acknowledgment

or a request for further information. Depending upon this further information the insurer

must then convey their claim decision which can be one of three choices.

Payment: i.e. acceptance of the claim in broad terms.

Negotiation: i.e. The offer of a lower amount than that claimed or an offer to enter

into negotiation with the insured with no amount initially named. In this situation

liability is accepted by the insurer and the quantum of the claim is the only point in

dispute, or

Rejection: i.e. liability is not accepted by the insurer, the full reasons for the decision

should be stated.

61



INTERNATIONAL AUDIT &

EVALUATION DEPARTMENT

62



WHAT IS AUDIT?

The concept of auditing is closely related with the concept of accountability, it is a practice

by which some subject of interest is examined by independent and professionally qualified

persons and a report is presented. Auditing is generally considered to be associated with

accounting and financial records only but these days the scope of auditing has broadened and

it covers nearly all the areas of business activity like financial statements, management

efficiency, quality of systems, evaluation of performance and many others. In this book,

however, we shall deal only with the audit of financial statements.

International Auditing Guidelines used to define Audit as:

“An audit is the independent examination of financial

statement or related ‘information of an entity, whether

profit oriented or not and irrespective of its size, or legal

form when such an examination is conducted with a view

to express an opinion thereon.”

OBJECTIVES OF AN AUDIT

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

Fairness of Statements:

The purpose of auditing is to determine the fairness of statements.

Prescribed Laws:

There are various laws that given the working of many businesses such as

companies ordinance 1984 is for the working of companies.

Accounting Policies:

63



There is a need to follow the accounting policies for preparing accounting

records.

Expression of Opinion:

An audit enables the auditor to express an independent opinion on the

financial statements.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

64



FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANALYSIS, FOLLOWING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN USED:

BALANCE SHEET

Balance sheet shows the financial position of company on a particular time. We have

used the balance sheet of last two years starting from 2005 to 2006.

PROFIT & LOSS ACCOUNT

Profit and loss account describes the total income and expenses incurred to obtain that

income. We have used profit and loss account of Adamjee Insurance Company Limited of

last five years starting from 2005 to 2006.

CONSOLIDATED INSURANCE REVENUE ACCOUNT.

Consolidated Insurance Revenue account is a account in which all the direct

Insurance business of New Jubilee Insurance Company Limited is stated. The final balance

of all revenue accounts like fire insurance, marine insurance, motor insurance and

miscellaneous insurance accounts are shown.

Before the Insurance Ordinance 2005, all insurance companies can prepare

Consolidated Insurance Revenue Account under the Insurance Act 1938. But in the new

ordinance all the related balances of insurance accounts are directly shown in Profit and loss

account.

65



The financial statements for the period-analyzed are as follow:

66



67



68



PROFITABILITY RATIO

1. A sudden high increment in profit as compared to premium accumulation shows the

company’s strength. It is because of low expenses ratio while having larger pool of premium

than previous years. But in coming two years respective decline indicate low premiums and

high taxes.

2. Second profitability ratio is correspondingly shows the same trend. In first proceeding

year it jumps to high figure but afterwards declines due to low investment amounts and

premium pool while incurring high expenses.

RETURN TO SHARE HOLDERS:

1. Company’s profit after tax is not giving a satisfactory note at the end. It again had

come to the same point from were it has started. It all depends on your investment

profit folio and opportunities available in market at that time.

2. As usual a tremendous increase is there in first proceeding year but anyhow company

is still stable in this regard as compared to other relating factors.

3. In first year price earning ratio has decreased in contrary to other indicators but in

following terms it gives a good figure. This thing shows the company’s strategy of

investment appraisals and keen view of market strength.

4. In spite of all shortcomings and flaws in different market and business aspects,

company has maintained its cash divided to the same extent. It will surely intensify

the company’s image about corporate client sovereignty.

LIQUDITY RATIOS:

1. Due to low premium pool company still has enough liquid assets to meet the current

and future liabilities of its stock holders and other people.

2. Bad figures of profit and loss account are decreasing the opportunities of new paid up

capital. So level of paid up capital is decreasing as compared to last years.

3. Decreasing paid up capital is an alarming situation for the company. So it has to

increase equity to sustain its presence in the market.

HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS OF PROFIT & LOSS ACCOUNT

Description 2005-06 2004-05Increase in net premium revenue 62.08 43.34Increase in net claims 60.13 41.14Increase in expenses 37.12 17.37Increase in commission 222.56 303.45Increase in investment income 41.65 220.86Increase in rental income 27.67 5.10Increase return on bank deposit 266.93 104.04Increase other income 444.74 34.59Increase general & Admin expenses 34.08 2.61Increase share of profit of associate 54.65 44.52Increase profit before taxation 52.47 125.90Proposed dividend 14.99 14.99Revenue for issue of bonus shares 53.34 53.34Transfer to general revenue 428.57 428.57

INTERPRETATION

There is a significant increase in the amount of premium in each class

of business which shows the best marketing practice and the good reputation of the

business. The increase in the net premium revenue is 62.08% which is a very

remarkable sign.

Increase in net claim is 0.60% which shows the best risk management

practices and the better under writing practices adopted by the company. Increase in

the percentage of claim is much lower than the premium rate increase which leads to

more profits.

Expenses automatically increase with the increase of the business on

this care but good management controls as proportion to the premium amount.

As the business increase the amount of commission will also increase.

The commission rate of the company is relatively high which is offered to the agents.

70



With the increase in the amount of the premium, if commission expenses increase it is

positive sign.

Increase in the investment income shows the expansion of the

investment portfolio & also the better opportunities availed, as there is increase in the

amount of investment the income on the investment wills also income.

The amount of the current and other accounts is less than preceding

year. But current maturing deposits are more and therefore the return on them is

significantly high than previous year: which is a source for indirect income.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYI have undergone an internship program as a part of my study schedule. It was a six

week internship program. It was a great opportunity for me to work with such a prestigious

organization which will definitely aid me in developing professional skills and the right

attitude towards achieving my goals.

OBSERVATIONS

NJI Co. Ltd. has strong financial standings. It is the honor for NJI Co. Ltd. that

PACRA and JCR – VIS the leading rating agencies of Pakistan has given NJI Co.

Ltd. a long term rating of “AA” which is the one of the best for any insurance

company in Pakistan.

NJI Co. Ltd. has developed strong internship with its customers by understanding

their needs and treating them with respects, dignity and importance. The deriving

force behind its commitments and services is its focus on customers, incurring that it

not only meets, but also exceeds their expectations and this is why that NJI Co. Ltd. is

making progress by leaps and bounds.

The profits of NJI Co. Ltd. have grown considerably and also its market price per

share during the last few years and this trend is expected to continue in future.

Company’s claim and expense ratios have also dropped significantly during the last

years due to better underwriting practices.

Company has developed the good contacts with the foreign reinsurance companies of

good rating.

Company has brushier or forms for the clients to understand the different services that

company is providing.

Company is targeting not only on financial institutions but also individual customers.

81



Company still not able to become the market leader, since after its establishment in

1953.

The agents of the company are not providing complete information to the customers

according to the tariff.

The higher net profitability shows the company’s efficiency in controlling its general

and administrative expenses.

The other major reason behind the higher level of net profitability is the large amount

of investment income received on the investment that company has made in various

organizations including government.

The flaw exists in the asset efficiency of the company. NJI is not efficient is utilizing

its asset in proper way to generate sufficient amount of net premiums.

In branch job rotation is uncommon. Normally employees are not rotated through all

departments during their job tenure which may cause boredom among employees.

The employees of the branch are not motivated to a great extent. After taking into

consideration all above factors how the employees can be motivated?

82



SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

NEW JUBLEE INSURANCE is one of the leading Insurance companies in Pakistan. After spending a 6 week of internship it is true to say that the NEW JUBLEE INSURANCE is well-managed, well organized company. The management has complete control over its working staff. All the departments in the company are well designed. And the Human resource is quite efficient, which is the major cause of success of the company in the market. But in spite of all the factors; there are certain areas on which the company needs to give more concentration. On the basis of their market place, SWOT Analysis the following recommendations are suggested:

Employees are less, should hire more people to lessen the over burden of workload.

Salary should be revised.

Technical training must be conducted periodically.

They should hire more educated sales force to enhance the customer supplier

relationship.

The management of New Jubilee Insurance Company should pay concentration to the

insurance expenses and commission which are the major causes of low profitability.

Although company is efficient in controlling its general expenses but it is very

effective. Because it accounts for a few percentage of premiums volume and

insurance expenses is the major portion of the income statement after net claims.

More and more branches should be opened, particularly in the rural areas.

More and more focus should be given to enhance public image and goodwill through

superior customer services and interaction.

83



The management of the company is highly centralized. In order to increase the

performance of the employees they should be actively participated in the decisions

making of the company.

The prices of the products of the company are so high which are just in the range of

the limited Market Niche. So in order to increase the local sales the company must

go for the low pricing strategies for its product.

For better productivity, the higher management must conduct proper seminars,

workshops for all the employees so that they can have up-to date knowledge and they

would be able to increase their skills.

The company should have all sorts of policies in well defined, clear cut written form

so as to be more specific and compare the performance with established goals. This

is very crucial in the modern competitive insurance scenario so as to remove all

deficiencies.

Today is the age of marketing. The more strong will be the marketing of a concern,

the more will be the business. So NJI should heavily emphasize on its marketing

policies. In this way, bank can also establish its creditability in the eyes of public and

can tell them about its offering. Advertisement should run on TV, and in newspapers.

Monetary incentive should be given to employees to enhance their motivation level.

Such type of incentive increase their work efficiency which would be beneficial for

the bank in future.

I hope if all above mentioned areas will be taken care off them it will change things a lot and

will open new ways of prosperity and profitability for company.

84



LEARNINGS AS AN INTERNEE

During the internship at the NEW JUBILEE INSURANCE LIMITED, I had learnt a

lot which other wise I would have not been able to experience it. Here at NEW JUBILEE

INSURANCE LIMITED, I really understand the sayings like “Seeing is believing (learning

wise)” and “The real world working is different from which we study in books.” I had also

done other internships at different level of my education and every time I had been able to

learn some thing new, so here at NEW JUBILEE INSURANCE LIMITED, I also came face

to face with new atmosphere and new working style, from which I learned many things.

Some of them are:

How to manage the section and its working

What is the working of the private sector

How to control the employees with both hot and cold temper

How to manage the time

How to get work done from the employees within the prescribed time

How to face the problems and get the solution to it.

How to satisfy or solve the query brought by the employees or the higher officials.

85



CONCLUSION

At present there is no such organization in the world that is free from problems and

challenges. Every concern has to strive and struggle a lot to be more profitable and to get a

more competitive edge. Improvement and advancement is crucial with every step and with

the every minute passing. Especially insurance sector internationally and in Pakistan is

facing huge challenges and simultaneously getting huge opportunities to avail. The

competition is great in this regard. Only those insurance companies will succeeded which

will strive for best. But NJI Limited is making as much struggle and effort to be profitable.

Its relative ranking in the world in its country of origin and in Pakistan reveals the

facts that where it is standing. It is facing a lot of problems. Some problems are due to

changing political and economic structure but many problems are due to negligence and

inefficiency of management. Some of these problems are very minor but these are the areas

which make a difference in this competitive scenario. All these problems have been pointed

out later accompanied by related suggestions. All these matters should be seriously taken

care off. It will be so then it can be hoped that in future the relative ranking, its policies,

financial position and all other areas of NJI will improve and in future the picture will be

quite different.

There are some minor problems also these are the things which definitely make a

difference. Today, the foreign companies and local companies in Pakistan are introducing

new ideas, they providing their employees with extended facilities in order to keep their

morale high and to full motivate them. But these are the things which are lacking in NJI

Zonal Office. I think that if these problems will be solved, them employees will be more

86



motivated, more efficient and more productive. Not only the employees but the general

public will also be attracted and profitability will definitely improve.
