PREFACE These are the days of the advertising world and not the self-promoting world.
Advertising is one of the very few essential assets allocating concept which is
growing at its zenith rate to bring prosperity and progress to the teeming millions
of countries where people run after jobs. Equally important is the role of insurance
advisors, where the investment field supports advisors and takes insurance
companies to boom, and gleam and yield best results.
I am really happy to present this project before the teachers as it gives me an
incorporated base for further education and knowledge of the worldly scenarios of
the insurance industry.
I have tried my best to bring to you the latest picture of the various plans of MNYL
and insurance practices.
The sections and its included chapters are cordially arranged for the smooth flow
of the subject matter both for ingestion and digestion. I carried out the survey
myself along with the summarization and conclusion of the survey. For the other
material I have freely drawn the material from internet sites and books to bring to
you the latest picture of the insurance industry. Hence, I do not claim any
originality, except for my style of presentation and the survey part.
I am very thankful to Ms. ANUPRIYA BHARDWAJ, lecturer, BBA, GGDSD
College, who took the burden to explain me the movement of the project so that I
could bring out the best possibility.
I have tried to be, as far as perfect: yet the dirty minds always tend to intervene
keeping you in a disguised state to any fault. Hence, I request all teachers to bring
to my notice any such mistakes or any facts so that I can rectify them and increase
my knowledge base. I welcome every suggestion regarding the project matter and
status as I believe in the proverb “FAILURES ARE THE STEPPING STONES TO
SUCCESS”.

INTRODUCTIONLife insurance is a form of insurance that pays monetary proceeds upon the death
of the insured covered in the policy. Essentially, a life insurance policy is a
contract between the named insured and the insurance company wherein the
insurance company agrees to pay an agreed sum of money to the insured's
beneficiary. With a large population and the untapped market area insurance
happens to be a very big opportunity in India. Today it stands as a business
growing at the rate of 15-20% annually. Together with banking services, it adds
about 7 percent to the country’s GDP. In spite of all this, the growth statistics of
the penetration of the insurance in the country is very poor. Nearly 80% of Indian
population is without life and health insurance cover. This is an indicator that
growth potential for the insurance sector is immense in India. It was due to this
immense growth that the regulations were introduced in the insurance sector and in
continuation “Malhotra Committee” was constituted by the government in 1993 to
examine the various aspects of the industry. The key element of the reform process
was participation of overseas insurance companies with 26% capital. Creating a
more competitive financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy
was the main idea behind this reform.
Since then the insurance industry has gone through many changes. The
liberalization of the insurance industry has never looked back and today stand as
one of the most competitive and exploring industry in India. The entry of the
private players and the increased use of the new distribution are in the limelight
today. The use of new distribution techniques and the IT tools has increased the
scope of the industry in the longer run. Insurance is the business which provides
protection against financial aspects of risk, such as those to property, life, health
and legal liability.
In insurance the insured makes payment called
“premiums” to an insurer, and in return is able to claim a
payment from the insurer if the insured suffers a defined
type of loss. This relationship is usually drawn up in a
formal legal contract.
CLASSIFICATION OF INSURANCEThe insurance industry in India can broadly classified in two parts. They are.
1) Life insurance.
2) Non-life (general) insurance.
LIFE INSURANCE:Life insurance can be defined as “insurance that provides a sum of money if the
person who is insured dies while the policy is in effect”. In 1818 British introduced
to India, with the establishment of the oriental life insurance company in Calcutta.
The first Indian owned Life Insurance Company was the Bombay mutual life
assurance society which was set up in 1870. The life insurance act, 1912 was the
first statuary measure to regulate the life insurance business in India. In 1983, the
earlier legislation was consolidated and amended by the insurance act, 1938, with
comprehensive provisions for detailed effective control over insurance. The union
government had opened the insurance sector for private participation in 1999, also
allowing the private companies to have foreign equity up to 26%. Following the
opening up of the insurance sector, 12 private sector companies have entered the
life insurance business.
Need for life InsuranceThe need to safeguard the family brings in the need for life insurance. Today
insurance has become even more important due to the disintegration of the
prevalent joint family system, in which a number of generations co-existed in
harmony, and a system in which a sense of financial security was always there as
there were more earning members.
Times have changed and the nuclear family has emerged. Apart from other pitfalls
of a nuclear family, a high sense of insecurity is observed in it today besides, the
family has shrunk. Needs are increasing with time and fulfillment of these needs is
a big question mark.
How will you be able to satisfy all those needs? Better lifestyle, good education, a
long desired house. But again one just cannot fritter away all your earnings. You
need to save a part of it for the future too – a wise decision. This is where
insurance helps. Factors such as fewer number of earning members, stress,
pollution, increased competition, higher ambitions etc are some of the reasons why
insurance has gained importance and where insurance plays a successful role.
Life Insurance ensures that a person gates better prepared to face the uncertainties
in the following ways:
PROTECTION You need life insurance to be there and protect the people you love, making sure
that your family has a means to look after itself after you are gone. It is a
thoughtful business concept designed to protect the economic value of a human life
for the benefit of those financially dependent on him.
RETIREMENT Life insurance makes sure that you have regular income after you retire and also
helps you maintain your standard of living. It can ensure the post – retirement
years are spent in peace and comfort.
SAVINGS AND INVESTMENTS Insurance is a means to Save and Invest. Your periodic premiums are like Savings
and you are assured lump sum amount on maturity. A policy can come in really
handy at the time of your child’s education or marriage! Besides, it can be used as
supplement retirement income!
TAX BENEFITS Life insurance is one of the best tax saving options today. Your tax can be saved
twice on a life insurance policy-once when you pay your premiums and once when
you receive maturity benefits. Money saved is money earned!
Q.) Why is insurance superior to other forms of savings?
An immediate estate is created in favor of the policyholder.
Protection in case of death.
Liquidity in case of need-easy loans is available.
Tax relief-income tax.
Policies can be offered as collateral security.
TYPES OF POLICIESThough there are a lot of policies available in the market under different names and
by different companies, the policies can be broadly classified into the following
categories.
Terms Insurance policy
Whole Life Policy
Money back policy
Endowment Policy
Pension Plans or Annuities.
FUNCTIONS OF INSURANCEThe functions of Insurance can be bifurcated into two parts:
Primary Functions
Secondary Functions
Other Functions
The primary functions of insurance include the following:
Provide Protection - The primary function of insurance is to provide
protection against future risk, accidents and uncertainty. Insurance cannot check
the happening of the risk, but can certainly provide for the losses of risk. Insurance
is actually a protection against economic loss, by sharing the risk with others.
Collective bearing of risk - Insurance is a device to share the
financial loss of few among many others. Insurance is a mean by which few losses
are shared among larger number of people. All the insured contribute the premiums
towards a fund and out of which the persons exposed to a particular risk is paid.
Assessment of risk - Insurance determines the probable volume of risk
by evaluating various factors that give rise to risk. Risk is the basis for determining
the premium rate also.
Provide Certainty - Insurance is a device, which helps to change from
uncertainty to certainty. Insurance is device whereby the uncertain risks may be
made more certain.
The secondary functions of insurance include the following:
Prevention of Losses - Insurance cautions individuals and businessmen
to adopt suitable device to prevent unfortunate consequences of risk by observing
safety instructions; installation of automatic sparkler or alarm systems, etc.
Prevention of losses causes lesser payment to the assured by the insurer and this
will encourage for more savings by way of premium. Reduced rate of premiums
stimulate for more business and better protection to the insured.
Small capital to cover larger risks - Insurance relieves the
businessmen from security investments, by paying small amount of premium
against larger risks and uncertainty.
Contributes towards the development of larger
industries - Insurance provides development opportunity to those larger
industries having more risks in their setting up. Even the financial institutions may
be prepared to give credit to sick industrial units which have insured their assets
including plant and machinery.
The other functions of insurance include the
following:
Means of savings and investment - Insurance serves as savings
and investment, insurance is a compulsory way of savings and it restricts the
unnecessary expenses by the insured's For the purpose of availing income-tax
exemptions also, people invest in insurance.
Source of earning foreign exchange - Insurance is an
international business. The country can earn foreign exchange by way of issue of
marine insurance policies and various other ways.
Risk Free trade - Insurance promotes exports insurance, which makes the
foreign trade risk free with the help of different types of policies under marine
insurance cover.
The end of the year 2000 marks a significant change and growth of 'India
Insurance' industry scenario. Monopoly of Public Sector Insurance company marks
an end and Private companies makes inroad. Foreign companies, both Life and
General flocked, collaborated and helped astronomical growth of 'Insurance
Industry in India'.
NON- LIFE (GENERAL) INSURANCE:
Triton insurance co. ltd was the first general insurance company to be established
in India in 1850, whose shares were mainly held by the British. The first general
insurance company to be set up by an Indian was Indian mercantile insurance co.
Ltd., which was stabilized in 1907. Thereafter many Indian players emerged. The
general insurance business was nationalized after the promulgation of General
Insurance Corporation (GIC) OF India undertook the post-nationalization general
insurance business.
Presently there are 12 general insurance companies with 4 public sector
companies and 8 private insurers. Although the public sector companies still
dominate the general insurance business, the private players are slowly gaining a
foothold. According to estimates, private insurance companies have a 10 percent
share of the market, up from 4 percent in 2001. In the first half of 2002, the private
companies booked premiums worth Rs 6.34 billion. Most of the new entrants
reported losses in the first year of their operation in 2001.
With a large capital outlay and long gestation periods, infrastructure projects
are fraught with a multitude of risks throughout the development, construction and
operation stages. These include risks associated with project implementation,
including geological risks, maintenance, commercial and political risks. Without
covering these risks the financial institutions are not willing to commit funds to the
sector, especially because the financing of most private projects is on a limited or
non- recourse basis. Insurance costs constitute roughly around 1.2-2 percent of the
total project costs. Under the existing norms, insurance premium payments are
treated as part of the fixed costs. Consequently they are treated as pass-through
costs for tariff calculations.
Insurance, like project finance, is extended by a consortium. Normally one
insurer takes the lead, shouldering about 40-50 per cent of the risk and receiving a
proportionate percentage of the premium. The other companies share the remaining
risk and premium. The policies are renewed usually on an annual basis through the
invitation of bids.
Of late, with IPP projects fizzling out, the insurance companies are turning
once again to old hands such as NTPC, NHPC and BSES for business.
Contribution to Indian Economy Life Insurance is the only sector which garners long term savings.
Spread of financial services in rural areas and amongst socially less
privileged.
Long term funds for infrastructure.
Strong positive correlation between development of capital markets and
insurance/pension structure.
Employment generation.
