Introduction
What is Insurance?
Insurance is a tool by which facilities of a small number are compensated out of funds
(premium payment) collected from plenteous. Insurance is a safeguard against uncertain
events that may occur in the future.
It is an arrangement where the losses experienced by a few are extended over several who are
exposed to similar risks. It is a protection against financial loss arising on the happening of an
unexpected event. Insurance companies collect premium to provide security for the purpose.
Loss is paid out of the premium collected from people and the insurance companies act as
trustees to the amount so collected. These companies have proposal forms which are filled to
give details of insurance required. Depending upon the answers in the proposal form
insurance companies assess the risk and decide on the premium.
Insurance companies are risk bearers. They underwrite the risk in return for an insurance
premium. the function of insurance is to provide protection, prevent losses, capital formation
etc. hence insurance can be defined as a tool in which a sum of money as a premium is paid
by the insured in consideration of the insurers bearing the risk of paying a large sum. It may
also be defined as a contract wherein one party (insurer) agrees to pay the other party
(insured) or his beneficiary, a certain sum upon a given contingency against which insurance
is required.
Insurance industry commands massive funds through sales of insurance products to large
number of clients. Insurers also create liabilities and commit themselves to compensate for
losses occurring to the policyholders on future date. It also plays an important role in process
of capital formation.
Nature of Insurance
a) Risk sharing and risk transfer: Insurance is used to share the financial losses that might
occur to an individual or his family on the happening of specified events. The loss arising
from such events are shared by all the insured in the form of premium.

b) Risk assessment in advance: Insurance companies are risk bearers. They assess the risk
before insuring to charge the amount of premium.
c) Its not gambling or charity: The uncertainty is changed to certainty by insuring property
and life because the insurer promises to pay a definite sum at damage or death. Insurance is
antithesis of gambling. Failure of insurance amounts to gambling because the uncertainty of
loss is always looming. Moreover insurance is not possible without premium. So it is
different from charity because charity is given without consideration.
d) Huge number of insured people: It is essential to insure larger number of people or
property to make cost of insurance less consequently premium would also be less.
e) Assists in capital formation: Insurance provides capital to society. Accumulative funds
are invested in productive channels.
Types of Insurance
Insurance is broadly divided in two segments, based on the nature of insurance, those are:
1. Life Insurance &2. Non-Life Insurance or General Insurance. It can be again subdivided into the
following categories:
a) Fire Insurance.b) Marine Insurance.c) Miscellaneous Insurance. (Health insurance, Liability Insurance etc.)

Industry Profile
History of Insurance Industry in India
The history of life insurance in India dates back to 1818 when it was conceived as a means to
provide for English Widows. Interestingly in those days a higher premium was charged for
Indian lives than the non - Indian lives, as Indian lives were considered more risky to cover.
The Bombay Mutual Life Insurance Society started its business in 1870. It was the first
company to charge the same premium for both Indian and non-Indian lives.
The Oriental Assurance Company was established in 1880.The General insurance business inIndia, on the other hand, can trace its roots to Triton Insurance Company Limited, the first
general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British. Till the
end of the nineteenth century insurance business was almost entirely in the hands of overseas
companies.
Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the Life Insurance
Companies Act of 1912 and the Provident Fund Act of 1912. Several frauds during the 1920's
and 1930's sullied insurance business in India. By 1938 there were 176 insurance companies.
The first comprehensive legislation was introduced with the Insurance Act of 1938 that
provided strict State Control over the insurance business. The insurance business grew at a
faster pace after in dependence. Indian companies strengthened their hold on this business but
despite the growth that was witnessed, insurance remained an urban phenomenon.
The Government of India in 1956, brought together over 240 private life insurers and
provident societies under one nationalized monopoly corporation and Life Insurance
Corporation (LIC) was born. The non-life insurance business continued to thrive with the
private sector till 1972. Their operations were restricted to organized trade and industry in
large cities. The general insurance industry was nationalized in 1972. With this, nearly 107
insurers were amalgamated and grouped into four companies.
Potential oflife insurance business in India
Indias life insurance market has grown rapidly over the past six years, with new business
premiums growing at over 40% per year. The premium income of Indias life insurance
market is set to double by 2012 on better penetration and higher incomes. Insurance

penetration in India is currently about 4 percent of its GDP, much lower than the developed
market level of 6-9 percent. In several segments of the population, the penetration is lower
than potential. For example, in urban areas, the penetration of life insurance in the mass
market is about 65 percent, and its considerably less in the low-income unbanked segment.
In rural areas, life insurance penetration in the banked segment is estimated to be about 40
percent, while it is marginal at best in the unbanked segment. The total premium could go up
to $80-100 billion by 2012 from the present $40 billion as higher per capita income increases
per capita insurance intensity. The average household premium will rise to Rs3,000-4,100
from the current Rs1,300 as will penetration by the existing and new players. Indias ratio of
life insurance premium to its GDP is around 4 percent against 6-9 percent in the developed
world. It could rise to 5.1-6.2 by 2012 in tandem with the countrys demographic profile.
India has 17 life insurers and the state owned Life Insurance Corp. of India dominates the
industry with over 70 percent market share, though private players have been growing
aggressively.
Foreign holding in Indian insurance companies is limited to 26 percent. LIC has been in
business for 50 years now and has not covered the entire population base yet. About 250 to
300 million Indians are still insurable. LIC has issued about 120 million policies till now,
with new premium income of US$ 1 billion. Its assets have been estimated at $37 billion and
in the last quarter it reported a 60 percent growth in new business. LICs business is growing
at the rate of 20 percent every year. That is the kind of potential one is talking about in life
insurance in India. It would not be wrong to say that a lot of the advantage of advertising by
new private sector insurance companies has by default gone to LIC. While they have created
a lot of awareness through private insurers advertisements, LIC has benefited. Why?
Because LIC has a much wider branch network, and buyers are sure about its safety.
Growth of Insurance Sector in India
India's insurance sector is zooming to show an unprecedented progressive growth of more
than 200% by the period of 2009-12. The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of
India has clocked out the fact that during this period, private players in the industry will see a
growth of about 140 percent, owing to the adoption of the aggressive marketing techniques in
comparison of the growth rate of 35 percent - 40 percent achieved by the state owned
insurance companies.
-
8/7/2019 ICICI Project FINAL
5/34
The chamber is expected to poise the business of insurance to reach at Rs.2000 billions in
coming 2 years from the present level of Rs.500 billion. With the result of adoption of the
intense marketing strategies by the private players, the declination has been witnessed in
respect of the share of the state owned insurance companies captured in the market. The
market share fallout has been noticed in context of such companies like GIC, LIC, which
have come down to nearly 70 percent in the past 4-5 years from the 97 percent. The experts
have forecasted the more severe competition in the insurance sector likely to be occurred in
the near future.
Till recently, insurance sector was majority driven by the government sector players but now
many private sector multinational players have come into the picture. Like HDFC, ICICI,
Kotak, Mahindra and Birla Sun life. Insurance sector has been characterized as the booming
sector of the Indian arena, which has shown the growth rate of more than 15 percent to 20
percent. Insurance in India is put under the federal subject and is governed by the Insurance
Act, 1938, the Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956 and General Insurance Business
(Nationalization) Act, 1972, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Act,
1999 and by various other acts.
Government Policies Regarding Life Insurance
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) 1999
Reforms in the insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA bill in December
1999.it was set up as an independent body and it has been able to frame globally compatible
legislations.
The IRDA was set up to protect the interests of holders of insurance policies ,to regulate,
promote and insure orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters connected
therewith or incidental thereto.
This act extends to whole of India. With the establishment of this act, government amended
Insurance act 1938, Life Insurance Act 1956 and General Insurance Act 1972.
IRDA was formed on the recommendations of Malhotra Committee. In 1999 government of
India has set up Malhotra Committee to examine the structure of insurance industry and
recommend changes, under R.N Malhotra former governor of RBI.

Insurance Sectors contribution to our GDP
With the largest number of life insurance policies in force in the world, Insurance
happens to be a mega opportunity in India. Its a business growing at the rate of 20-25
percent annually and presently is of the order of Rs1560.41 billion (for the financial year
2008 2009). Together with banking services, it adds about 7 percent to the countrys Gross
Domestic Product (GDP). The gross premium collection is nearly 2 percent of GDP and
funds available with LIC for investments are 8 percent of the GDP.
The insurance sector, both life and non life, is likely to grow by over 200 percent, and private
insurers are expected to achieve a growth rate of 140 percent as a result of aggressive
marketing technique. It added that state owned insurance companies are likely to be 35-40percent.
Even so nearly 65% of the Indian population is without life insurance cover while
health insurance and non-life insurance continues to be below international standards. A
Large part of our population is also subject to weak social security and pension systems with
hardly any old age income security.
Contribution of Insurance Sector to the Indian economy
Some surveys have predicted that India and China will play a very vital role in the years to
come. Indian economy can be termed as an emerging economy as it is doubling its GDP in 3
to 5 years and moreover it is not dependent on any particular sector for its GDP.
If we look at the GDP of the Indian economy very closely over the years, we can easily come
to know the changing structure of the economy. We can also come to know the changing
contribution of the various sectors like agriculture, manufacturing and the service sector. In
the financial year 1993-94, agricultural sector contributed to 31 percent, manufacturing
accounted to 26.3 percent and the service sector contributed to 42.7 percent of the total GDP
of the country. Thus over the years as India became an emerging economy in 2003-04
manufacturing sector contributed for 21.7 percent, manufacturing contributed for 26.8
whereas service sector contributed for 51.4 percent of the total GDP.
There has been 7.5 percent growth in the total GDP of the country and is estimated to grow
at 8.0 percent in 2006-07. The Indian economy has shown signs of strong performance
despite a rise in oil prices, high inflation rate and abnormal rains in many parts of the country.
-

The overall growth of the Indian economy has been equally supported by the entire three
sectors of the economy, i.e. the agriculture, manufacturing and the service sector. Insurance,
together with the banking sector, contributes to about 7.3 percent of the total GDP of India,
and the gross premium collected contributes to about 2 percent of the total GDP of the
country
The insurance sector in India has completed a full circle from being an open competitive
market to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the developments in
the Indian insurance sector reveals the 360 degree turn witnessed over a period of almost 200
years.
Challenges to the Insurance Industry
Challenges are mounting for insurers. Increased pressure for profitability translates into a
hard look at cost reduction and top-line revenue growth. Profitability is linked to the ability to
accurately assess risk and manage customer relationships over time to achieve financial
success.
Insurers recognize that in order to respond to these pressures, they need to eliminate
inefficient back-office processing functions. Another priority is improving the quality of
service to the distribution channel. As agents have more choice in choosing carriers, they are
looking to align with an organization that makes it easy to conduct business, pays
commission on a timely basis and reduces the time to process business.
The other kinds of challenges faced by the insurance industry are:
Economic challenges- like adequacy of capital, interest rate, inflation rate and market
related factors.
Socio-cultural challenges- Population, Life style, Educational level, Level of earning
Technological factors- Maintaining the database, E-business insurance in India, Impact ondistribution channels

to find out solutions for the same if possible.
e) Investment Department: This department deals with the task of investing the moneyof the policy holders in such way that will ensure both safety of the money and also a
steady return on the same. The task of this department is very difficult as it deals with
the money given by the policy holders, so it requires lot of thinking on the part of the
personnel of this department before deciding where to invest the money.

certain informations (like Age, Annual Income etc.) provided by the prospective

The four soft S's however, re feasible. They are difficult to describe since capabilities, values
and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and changing. They are highly
determined by the people at work in the organization. Therefore, it is much more difficult to;
plan or to influence the characteristics of the soft elements.
System
A system means all the procedures, formal and informal that makes the organization go day
by day, year by year. The organization is an open system organization because they interact
with the environment.

Opportunities
Expand beyond proprietary branch outlets through a large number of partner points ofpresence.
Establish extensive distribution spreading to tier 3, semi urban and rural location withaccess to the large mass and low income population.
Develop the pure market through large volume lower ticket products. Sustainable business supported through low cost operations and service model. It can enter in to more and more service oriented schemes. Ever growing population- which in turn increases the demand for insurance.
