INSURANCE COMPANIES IN INDIA

In India, Insurance is a national matter, in which life and general insurance is yet a

booming sector with huge possibilities for different global companies, as life

insurance premiums account to 2.5% and general insurance premiums account to

0.65% of India's GDP. The Indian Insurance sector has gone through several phasesand changes, especially after 1999, when the Govt. of India opened up the insurance

sector for private companies to solicit insurance by passing Insurance Regulatory and

Development Authority (IRDA) Bill, allowing FDI up to 26%. Since then, the

Insurance sector in India is considered as a flourishing market amongst global

insurance companies. However, the largest life insurance company in India is still

owned by the government.

The history of Insurance in India dates back to 1818, when Oriental Life Insurance

Company was established by Europeans in Kolkata to cater to their requirements.

Nevertheless, there was discrimination among the life of foreigners and Indians, as

higher premiums were charged from the latter. In 1870, Indians took a sigh of relief

when Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society, the first Indian insurance company

covered Indian lives at normal rates. Onset of the 20th century brought a drastic

change in the Insurance sector.

In 1912, the Govt. of India passed two acts - the Life Insurance Companies Act, and

the Provident Fund Act - to regulate the insurance business. National Insurance

Company Ltd, founded in 1906, is the oldest existing insurance company in India.

Earlier, the Insurance sector had only two state insurers - Life Insurers i.e. Life

Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), and General Insurers i.e. General Insurance

Corporation of India (GIC). In December 2000, these subsidiaries were de-linked

from parent company and were declared independent insurance companies: Oriental


11/60

Insurance Company Limited, New India Assurance Company Limited, National

Insurance Company Limited and United India Insurance Company Limited.

With an annual growth rate of 15-20% and the largest number of life insurance

policies in force, the potential of the Indian insurance industry is huge. Total value of

the Indian insurance market (2004-05) is estimated at Rs. 450 billion (US$10 billion).

The life insurance industry in India grew by an impressive 36%, with premium

income from new business at Rs. 253.43 billion during the fiscal year 2004-2005,

braving stiff competition from private insurers. This report, "Indian Insurance

Industry: New Avenues for Growth 2012", finds that the market share of the state

behemoth, LIC, has clocked 21.87% growth in business at Rs.197.86 billion byselling 2.4 billion new policies in 2004-05. But this was still not enough to arrest the

fall in its market share, as private players grew by 129% to mop up Rs. 55.57 billion

in 2004-05 from Rs. 24.29 billion in 2003-04.

Though the total volume of LIC's business increased in the fiscal year (2004-2005)

compared to the previous one, its market share came down from 87.04 to 78.07%.

The 14 private insurers increased their market share from about 13% to about 22% in

a year's time. The figures for the first two months of the fiscal year 2005-06 also

speak of the growing share of the private insurers. The share of LIC for this period

has further come down to 75 percent, while the private players have grabbed over 24

percent.

There are presently 12 general insurance companies with four public sector

companies and eight private insurers and private insurance companies collectively

have a 10% share of the non-life insurance market.

CHAPTER-2

COMPANY PROFILE

The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same instinct

that prompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves against loss and

disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences

of fire and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some sort of sacrifice in

order to achieve security. Though the concept of insurance is largely a development

of the recent past, particularly after the industrial era past few centuries yet its

beginnings date back almost 6000 years.

Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818.

Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life

insurance company on Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during

that period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs of European

community and Indian natives were not being insured by these companies. However,

later with the efforts of eminent people like Babu Muttylal Seal, the foreign life

insurance companies started insuring Indian lives. But Indian lives were being treated

as sub-standard lives and heavy extra premiums were being charged on them.Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life

insurance company in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates.

Starting as Indian enterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance companies came

into existence to carry the message of insurance and social security through insurance

to various sectors of society. Bharat Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such

companies inspired by nationalism. The Swadeshi movement of 1905-1907 gave rise

to more insurance companies. The United India in Madras, National Indian and

National Insurance in Calcutta and the Co-operative Assurance at Lahore were


13/60

established in 1906. In 1907, Hindustan Co-operative Insurance Company took its

birth in one of the rooms of the Jorasanko, house of the great poet Rabindranath

Tagore, in Calcutta. The Indian Mercantile, General Assurance and Swadeshi Life

(later Bombay Life) were some of the companies established during the same period.

Prior to 1912 India had no legislation to regulate insurance business. In the year 1912,

the Life Insurance Companies Act, and the Provident Fund Act were passed. The Life

Insurance Companies Act, 1912 made it necessary that the premium rate tables and

periodical valuations of companies should be certified by an actuary. But the Act

discriminated between foreign and Indian companies on many accounts, putting the

Indian companies at a disadvantage.

The first two decades of the twentieth century saw lot of growth in insurance

business. From 44 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.22.44 crore, it rose to

176 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.298 crore in 1938. During the

mushrooming of insurance companies many financially unsound concerns were also

floated which failed miserably. The Insurance Act 1938 was the first legislation

governing not only life insurance but also non-life insurance to provide strict state

control over insurance business. The demand for nationalization of life insurance

industry was made repeatedly in the past but it gathered momentum in 1944 when a

bill to amend the Life Insurance Act 1938 was introduced in the Legislative

Assembly. However, it was much later on the 19th of January, 1956, that life

insurance in India was nationalized. About 154 Indian insurance companies, 16 non-

Indian companies and 75 provident were operating in India at the time of

nationalization. Nationalization was accomplished in two stages; initially the

management of the companies was taken over by means of an Ordinance, and later,

the ownership too by means of a comprehensive bill. The Parliament of India passed

the Life Insurance Corporation Act on the 19th of June 1956, and the Life Insurance

Corporation of India was created on 1st September, 1956, with the objective of

spreading life insurance much more widely and in particular to the rural areas with a

view to reach all insurable persons in the country, providing them adequate financial

cover at a reasonable cost.

LIC had 5 zonal offices, 33 divisional offices and 212 branch offices, apart from its

corporate office in the year 1956. Since life insurance contracts are long term


14/60

contracts and during the currency of the policy it requires a variety of services need

was felt in the later years to expand the operations and place a branch office at each

district headquarter. Re-organization of LIC took place and large numbers of new

branch offices were opened. As a result of re-organization servicing functions were

transferred to the branches, and branches were made accounting units. It worked

wonders with the performance of the corporation. It may be seen that from about

200.00 crores of New Business in 1957 the corporation crossed 1000.00 crores only

in the year 1969-70, and it took another 10 years for LIC to cross 2000.00 crore mark

of new business. But with re-organization happening in the early eighties, by 1985-86

LIC had already crossed 7000.00 crore Sum Assured on new policies.

Today LIC functions with 2048 fully computerized branch offices, 100 divisional

offices, 7 zonal offices and the corporate office. LICs Wide Area Network covers

100 divisional offices and connects all the branches through a Metro Area Network.

LIC has tied up with some Banks and Service providers to offer on-line premium

collection facility in selected cities. LICs ECS and ATM premium payment facility

is an addition to customer convenience. Apart from on-line Kiosks and IVRS, Info

Centers have been commissioned at Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai,

Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, Pune and many other cities. With a vision of

providing easy access to its policyholders, LIC has launched its SATELLITE

SAMPARK offices. The satellite offices are smaller, leaner and closer to the

customer. The digitalized records of the satellite offices will facilitate anywhere

servicing and many other conveniences in the future.

LIC continues to be the dominant life insurer even in the liberalized scenario of

Indian insurance and is moving fast on a new growth trajectory surpassing its own

past records. LIC has issued over one crore policies during the current year. It has

crossed the milestone of issuing 1,01,32,955 new policies by 15th Oct, 2005, posting

a healthy growth rate of 16.67% over the corresponding period of the previous year.

From then to now, LIC has crossed many milestones and has set unprecedented

performance records in various aspects of life insurance business. The same motives

which inspired our forefathers to bring insurance into existence in this country inspire

us at LIC to take this message of protection to light the lamps of security in as many

homes as possible and to help the people in providing security to their families.

WHAT IS LIFE INSURANCE?

Life insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured

(or his nominee) on the happening of the event insured against.

The contract is valid for payment of the insured amount during:

The date of maturity, or

Specified dates at periodic intervals, or

Unfortunate death, if it occurs earlier.

Among other things, the contract also provides for the payment of premium

periodically to the Corporation by the policyholder. Life insurance is universally

acknowledged to be an institution, which eliminates 'risk', substituting certainty for

uncertainty and comes to the timely aid of the family in the unfortunate event of death

of the breadwinner.

By and large, life insurance is civilizations partial solution to the problems caused by

death. Life insurance, in short, is concerned with two hazards that stand across the

life-path of every person:

1. That of dying prematurely leaves a dependent family to fend for itself.

2. That of living till old age without visible means of support.

Life Insurance Vs. Other Savings

Contract of Insurance:

A contract of insurance is a contract of utmost good faith technically known as


19/60

uberrima fides. The doctrine of disclosing all material facts is embodied in this

important principle, which applies to all forms of insurance.

At the time of taking a policy, policyholder should ensure that all questions in the

proposal form are correctly answered. Any misrepresentation, non-disclosure or fraud

in any document leading to the acceptance of the risk would render the insurance

contract null and void.

Protection:

Savings through life insurance guarantee full protection against risk of death of the

saver. Also, in case of demise, life insurance assures payment of the entire amount

assured (with bonuses wherever applicable) whereas in other savings schemes, only

the amount saved (with interest) is payable.

Aid to Thrift:

Life insurance encourages 'thrift'. It allows long-term savings since payments can be

made effortlessly because of the 'easy installment' facility built into the scheme.

(Premium payment for insurance is either monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly).

For example: The Salary Saving Scheme popularly known as SSS provides a

convenient method of paying premium each month by deduction from one's salary. In

this case the employer directly pays the deducted premium to LIC. The Salary Saving

Scheme is ideal for any institution or establishment subject to specified terms and

conditions.

Liquidity:

In case of insurance, it is easy to acquire loans on the sole security of any policy that

has acquired loan value. Besides, a life insurance policy is also generally accepted as

security, even for a commercial loan.

Tax Relief:

Life Insurance is the best way to enjoy tax deductions on income tax and wealth tax.

This is available for amounts paid by way of premium for life insurance subject to

income tax rates in force.

Assesses can also avail of provisions in the law for tax relief. In such cases the

assured in effect pays a lower premium for insurance than otherwise.


20/60

Money When You Need It:

A policy that has a suitable insurance plan or a combination of different plans can be

effectively used to meet certain monetary needs that may arise from time-to-time.

Children's education, start-in-life or marriage provision or even periodical needs for

cash over a stretch of time can be less stressful with the help of these policies.

Alternatively, policy money can be made available at the time of one's retirement

from service and used for any specific purpose, such as, purchase of a house or for

other investments. Also, loans are granted to policyholders for house building or for

purchase of flats (subject to certain conditions).

Who Can Buy A Policy?

Any person who has attained majority and is eligible to enter into a valid contract can

insure himself/herself and those in whom he/she has insurable interest.

Policies can also be taken, subject to certain conditions, on the life of one's spouse or

children. While underwriting proposals, certain factors such as the policyholders

state of health, the proponent's income and other relevant factors are considered by

the Corporation.

Insurance For Women

Prior to nationalization (1956), many private insurance companies would offer

insurance to female lives with some extra premium or on restrictive conditions.

However, after nationalization of life insurance, the terms under which life insurance

is granted to female lives have been reviewed from time-to-time.

At present, women who work and earn an income are treated at par with men. In

other cases, a restrictive clause is imposed, only if the age of the female is up to 30

years and if she does not have an income attracting Income Tax.

Medical And Non-Medical Schemes

Life insurance is normally offered after a medical examination of the life to be

assured. However, to facilitate greater spread of insurance and also to avoid


21/60

socially and economically backward classes with a view to reaching all insurable

persons in the country and providing them adequate financial cover against death at a

reasonable cost.

savings adequately attractive.
