    History of insurance in India

    In India, insurance has a deep-rooted history. It finds mention inthe writings of Manu ( Manusmrithi ), Yagnavalkya(Dharmasastra ) and Kautilya ( Arthasastra ). The writings talk interms of pooling of resources that could be re-distributed in timesof calamities such as fire, floods, epidemics and famine. Thiswas probably a pre-cursor to modern day insurance. AncientIndian history has preserved the earliest traces of insurance inthe form of marine trade loans and carriers contracts. Insurancein India has evolved over time heavily drawing from othercountries, England in particular.

    1818 saw the advent of life insurance business in India withthe establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company inCalcutta. This Company however failed in 1834. In 1829, theMadras Equitable had begun transacting life insurance businessin the Madras Presidency. 1870 saw the enactment of the BritishInsurance Act and in the last three decades of the nineteenthcentury, the Bombay Mutual (1871), Oriental (1874) and Empire

    of India (1897) were started in the Bombay Residency. This era,however, was dominated by foreign insurance offices which didgood business in India, namely Albert Life Assurance, RoyalInsurance, Liverpool and London Globe Insurance and theIndian offices were up for hard competition from the foreigncompanies.

    In 1914, the Government of India started publishing returns ofInsurance Companies in India. The Indian Life AssuranceCompanies Act, 1912 was the first statutory measure to regulatelife business. In 1928, the Indian Insurance Companies Act wasenacted to enable the Government to collect statisticalinformation about both life and non-life business transacted inIndia by Indian and foreign insurers including provident

    insurance societies. In 1938, with a view to protecting theinterest of the Insurance public, the earlier legislation wasconsolidated and amended by the Insurance Act, 1938 withcomprehensive provisions for effective control over the activitiesof insurers.

    The Insurance Amendment Act of 1950 abolished PrincipalAgencies. However, there were a large number of insurancecompanies and the level of competition was high. There werealso allegations of unfair trade practices. The Government ofIndia, therefore, decided to nationalize insurance business.

    An Ordinance was issued on 19th January, 1956nationalising the Life Insurance sector and Life InsuranceCorporation came into existence in the same year. The LICabsorbed 154 Indian, 16 non-Indian insurers as also 75provident societies245 Indian and foreign insurers in all. TheLIC had monopoly till the late 90s when the Insurance sectorwas reopened to the private sector.

    Theh

    istory of general insurance dates back to theIndustrial Revolution in the west and the consequent growth ofsea-faring trade and commerce in the 17th century. It cameto India as a legacy of British occupation. General Insurance inIndia has its roots in the establishment of Triton InsuranceCompany Ltd., in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British. In1907, the Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd, was set up. This wasthe first company to transact all classes of general insurancebusiness.1957 saw the formation of the General Insurance Council, a wingof the Insurance Associaton of India. The General InsuranceCouncil framed a code of conduct for ensuring fair conduct andsound business practices.

    In 1968, the Insurance Act was amended to regulateinvestments and set minimum solvency margins. The TariffAdvisory Committee was also set up then.

    In 1972 with the passing of the General Insurance Business(Nationalisation) Act, general insurance business wasnationalized with effect from 1st January, 1973. 107 insurerswere amalgamated and grouped into four companies, namelyNational Insurance Company Ltd., the New India AssuranceCompany Ltd., the Oriental Insurance Company Ltd and theUnited India Insurance Company Ltd. The General InsuranceCorporation of India was incorporated as a company in 1971 and

    it commence business on January 1sst 1973.

    This millennium has seen insurance come a full circle in ajourney extending to nearly 200 years. The process ofre-opening of the sectorhad begun in the early 1990s and thelast decade and more has seen it been opened up substantially.In 1993, the Government set up a committee under thechairmanship of RN Malhotra, former Governor of RBI, to

    propose recommendations for reforms in the insurancesector.The objective was to complement the reforms initiated inthe financial sector. The committee submitted its report in 1994wherein , among other things, it recommended that the privatesector be permitted to enter the insurance industry. They statedthat foreign companies be allowed to enter by floating Indiancompanies, preferably a joint venture with Indian partners.

    Following the recommendations of the Malhotra Committeereport, in 1999, the Insurance Regulatory and DevelopmentAuthority (IRDA) was constituted as an autonomous body toregulate and develop the insurance industry. The IRDA wasincorporated as a statutory body in April, 2000. The keyobjectives of the IRDA include promotion of competition so as to

  • 8/6/2019 Training Report Honey Matta

    10/53

    enhance customer satisfaction through increased consumerchoice and lower premiums, while ensuring the financial securityof the insurance market.

    The IRDA opened up the market in August 2000 with theinvitation for application for registrations. Foreign companieswere allowed ownership of up to 26%. The Authority has thepower to frame regulations under Section 114A of the InsuranceAct, 1938 and has from 2000 onwards framed variousregulations ranging from registration of companies for carryingon insurance business to protection of policyholders interests.

    In December, 2000, the subsidiaries of the General InsuranceCorporation of India were restructured as independentcompanies and at the same time GIC was converted into anational re-insurer. Parliament passed a bill de-linking the foursubsidiaries from GIC in July, 2002.

    Today there are 24 general insurance companies includingthe ECGC and Agriculture Insurance Corporation of India and 23

    life insurance companies operating in the country.The insurance sector is a colossal one and is growing at a

    speedy rate of 15-20%. Together with banking services,insurance services add about 7% to the countrys GDP. A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is a boon for economicdevelopment as it provides long- term funds for infrastructuredevelopment at the same time strengthening the risk takingability of the country.

    1. PROTECTION PLAN

    Why do I need Protection Plans?

    Protection Plans help you shield your family from uncertainties in life due to

    financial losses in terms of loss of income that may dawn upon them incaseof your untimely demise or critical illness. Securing the future of one'sfamily is one of the most important goals of life. Protection Plans go a longway in ensuring your family's financial independence in the event of yourunfortunate demise or critical illness. They are all the more important if youare the chief wage earner in your family. No matter how much you havesaved or invested over the years, sudden eventualities, such as death orcritical illness, always tend to affect your family financially apart from thehuge emotional loss.

    For instance, consider the example of Amit who is a healthy 25 year oldguy with a income of Rs. 1,00,000/- per annum. Let's assume his incomeincreases at a rate of 10% per annum, while the inflation rate is around 4%;this is how his income chart will look like, until he retires at the age of 60years. At 50 years of age, Amit's real income would have been around Rs.10,00,000/- per annum. However, in case of Amit's unfortunate demise atan early age of 42 years, the loss of income to his family would be nearlyRs. 5,00,000/- per annum.

    However, with a Protection Plan, a mere sum of Rs. 2,280/- annually(exclusive of service tax & educational cess) can help Amit provide afinancial cushion of up to Rs. 10,00,000/- for his family over a period of 25years.

    3.RETIREMENT BENEFITS

    Why do I need Retirement Plans?

    Retirement Plans provide you with financial security so that when your professional

    income starts to ebb, you can still live with pride without compromising on your livingstandards. By providing you a tool to accumulate and invest your savings, these plansgive you a lump sum on retirement, which is then used to get regular income through anannuity plan. Given the high cost of living and rising inflation, employer pensions aloneare not sufficient. Pension planning has therefore become critical today.

    India's average life expectancy is slated to increase to over 75 years by 2050 from thepresent level of close to 65 years. Life spans have been increasing due to better healthand sanitation conditions in the country. However, the average number of years ofemployment has not been rising commensurately. The result is an increase in thenumber of post-retirement years. Accordingly, it has become necessary to ensureregular income for life after retirement, so that you can live with pride and enjoy your

    twilight years.

    Priorities at different stages of life:-

    However, skyrocketing costs can throw even a well-laid plan off balance. With costsrising every day, you can just imagine how high they will be when you are ready to hangup your boots. So, what should you do to counter this? It's time to plan your retirementand that too sooner than later.

    The above illustration shows how with each passing year your annual savingsrequirement would increase. For instance, if you are 30 years old and plan to retire at60, then, with a current annual expenditure of Rs. 3,00,000/- , you would need a corpusin excess of Rs. 2,00,00,000/- to maintain your living standards, assuming you live till 85years and the inflation rate is 4%. To build this retirement corpus, you need to invest Rs3,60,000/- per annum in a retirement plan that offers 8% returns per annum. In case youdelay planning your retirement by 5 years then the investment amount would increaseto Rs 6,90,000/- per annum.

    4.SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

    Why do I need Savings & Investment Plans?

    You have always given your family the very best. And there is no reason why theyshouldn't get the very best in the future too. As a judicious family man, your priority is tosecure the well-being of those who depend on you. Not just for today, but also in thelong term. More importantly, you have to ensure that your family's future expenses aretaken care, even if something unfortunate were to happen to you.

    A big factor that you need to consider while building your wealth is inflation. It has a dualimpact on your hard-earned savings. Inflation not only erodes your current purchasingpower but also magnifies your monetary requirements for the future. Sample this: An 35Year individual needs to invest Rs. 36,000/- per year with 8% returns to build a corpus

    of Rs. 10,00,000/- by the age of 50 Years.

    However, Rs. 10,00,000/- after 15 years would be worth roughly around half of what it istoday once adjusted for inflation at the rate of 4%. Therefore, an individual will need tosave nearer to Rs 50,000/- annually to reach your targeted savings at the age of 50Years, if you consider inflation.

    Our Savings & Investment Plans provide you the assurance of lump sum funds for yourand your family's future expenses. While providing an excellent savings tool for yourshort term and long term financial goals, these plans also assure your family a certainsum by way of an insurance cover. With HDFC Standard Life's range of Saving &Investment Plans, you can therefore ensure that your family always remains financiallyindependent, even if you are not around.

    CONCLUSI ON

    The India Insurance Market despite having a highlyelaborate history spanning almost two centuries, hascome of age only in the last 50 year s after the formationof the Life Insurance Corporation (L IC) of India in 1956and the entry of private companies into the market fromthe late 90 s and early 2000.

    The fact that only 10% of the 30% insurable population isinsured i.e., more than 300m people, with the potential tobuy insurance, remain uninsured speaks of the volume ofscope this field has for young graduates and professionalswho can take up career s in the insurance sector .

    As people get more educated about the need of havinginsurance especially during times like this, a career in theinsurance sector is both rewarding as w ell as challenging.

    The second aspect of learning that I had was more on softskills. I came to learn the value of patience when things

    get tough, a brie f idea on how to open and close- in a calland also how to generate a need f or my product. Apartfrom that, this short tenure also helped me to get an ideaof the present market conditions.
