Introduction to General Insurance

Insurance industry has always been a growth-oriented industry globally. On the Indian

scene too, the insurance industry has always recorded noticeable growth vis-à-vis other

Indian industries.

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

established in 1907. There emerged many a player on the Indian scene thereafter.

The general insurance business was nationalised after the promulgation of General

Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972. The post-nationalisation general insurance

business was undertaken by the General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) and its 4

subsidiaries:

1. Oriental Insurance Company Limited;

2. New India Assurance Company Limited;

3. National Insurance Company Limited; and

4. United India Insurance Company Limited.

Towards the end of 2000, the relation ceased to exist and the four companies are, at present,

operating as independent companies.

The Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) was established on 01.09.1956 and had been the

sole corporation to write the life insurance business in India.

The Indian insurance industry saw a new sun when the Insurance Regulatory & Development

Authority (IRDA) invited the applications for registration as insurers in August, 2000. With

the liberalisation and opening up of the sector to private players, the industry has presented

promising prospects for the coming future. The transition has also resulted into introduction

of ample opportunities for the professionals including Chartered Accountants.

The Indian Insurance industry is featured by the attributes:

Low market penetration;

Ever-growing middle class component in population.

Growth of consumer movement with an increasing demand for better insurance

products;

Inadequate application of information technology for business.

Adequate fillip from the Government in the form of tax incentives to the insured,

etc.

The industry formations need to keep vigil on these characteristics of the Indian market and

formulate their strategies to entail maximum contribution to the output of the sector.

The Indian life and non-life insurance business accounted for merely 0.42 percent of the

world's life and non-life business in 1997.The figures of the basic parameters of the

industry's performance viz. Insurance Density and Insurance Penetration also are evident of

the hitherto existing low-yield Indian market conditions.

The term "Insurance Penetration" broadly measures the contribution of the insurance industry

in relation to a nation's entire economic productivity. The figure of premium vis-à-vis the

GDP of 1999 stood at 0.54 percent for non-life insurance business and 1.39 percent for

the life insurance business. The term "Insurance Density" reflects the Insurance

purchasing power. The premium per capita in India amounted to US $ 2.40 for non-life

insurance and US $ 6.10 for life insurance in 1999 but with the deregulation of the sector, a

sea-change in the scene is most likely.

Important milestones in the general insurance business in India are:

1907: The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up- the first company to transact all classes of

general insurance business.

1957: General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance Association of India, frames a code of

conduct for ensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.

1968: The Insurance Act amended to regulate investments and set minimum solvency margins

and the Tariff Advisory Committee set up.

1972: The general insurance business in India nationalised through The General Insurance

Business (Nationalisation) Act, 1972 with effect from 1st January 1973. 107 insurers amalgamated

and grouped into four companies- the National Insurance Company Limited, the New India Assurance

Company Limited, the Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. and the United India Insurance Company Ltd.

GIC incorporated as a company.

Present Scenario

The Government of India liberalised the insurance sector in March 2000 with the passage

of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Bill, lifting all entry

restrictions for private players and allowing foreign players to enter the market with some

limits on direct foreign ownership. Under the current guidelines, there is a 26 percent equity

cap for foreign partners in an insurance company. There is a proposal to increase this limit

to 49 percent.

The opening up of the sector is likely to lead to greater spread and deepening of insurance in

India and this may also include restructuring and revitalizing of the public sector companies.

In the private sector 12 life insurance and 8 general insurance companies have been

registered. A host of private Insurance companies operating in both life and non-life segments

have started selling their insurance policies since 2001.

- -- 3

Non-Life Insurance Market

In December 2000, the GIC subsidiaries were restructured as independent insurance

companies. At the same time, GIC was converted into a national re-insurer. In July 2002,

Parliamant passed a bill, delinking the four subsidiaries from GIC.

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 implementaion, 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 companies not only provide risk cover to infrastructure projects, they also

contribute long-term funds. In fact, insurance companies are an ideal source of long term debt

and equity for infrastructure projects. With long term liability, they get a good asset- liability

match by investing their funds in such projects. IRDA regulations require insurance

companies to invest not less than 15 percent of their funds in infrastructure and social

sectors. International Insurance companies also invest their funds in such projects.

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.

- -- 4

Premium rates of most general insurance policies come under the purview of the government

appointed Tariff Advisory Committee. For Projects costing up to Rs 1 Billion, the Tariff

Advisory Committee sets the premium rates, for Projects between Rs 1 billion and Rs 15

billion, the rates are set in keeping with the committee's guidelines; and projects above Rs 15

billion are subjected to re-insurance pricing. It is the last segment that has a number of

additional products and competitive pricing.

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.

Law relating to general insurance

The insurance act 1938 was a well thought out legislation and was passed to perform the

control of working and activities of the companies carrying on the business relating to life,

marine, fire and accident. but the act has seen many amendments since it was passed

required from experience in the implementation of the act .in 1963 ,the marine insurance act

was passed to regulate the contact of marine insurance .in 1971 the government

nationalized the insurance business and passed a general insurance business

(nationalization) act in 1972.a provision who made in the 1972 act relating to general

insurance (fire , marine, and miscellaneous) business being taken over by the central

government.

General insurance business (nationalization) act 1972

1. To provide for the acquisition and transfer of share of Indian insurance companies and

undertaking of other existing insurers.

2. To serve better the need of the economy by securing the development of general

insurance business business in the best interest of the community.

3. To ensure that the operation of the economics system does not result in the

concentration of wealth to the common detriment.

4. For the regulation and control of such business and for matters connected there with

or incidental there to.

Dream of,

DHIRUBHAI AMBANI

Late Dhirubhai Ambani built Reliance from scratch to be in the reckoning for a place in the Global Fortune 500 list. This achievement is even more significant due to the fact, that the entire growth was achieved in an organic manner and in a span of just 25 years.

Dhirubhai was not just firmly rooted in traditional Indian values, but was also a quintessentially modern man - the man of the new millennium. This was clearly reflected in his passion for mega-sized projects, the most advanced technology and the highest level of productivity.

The corporate philosophy he followed was short simple and succinct - "Think big. Think differently. Think fast. Think ahead. Aim for the best". He inspired the Reliance team to do better than the best - not only in India but also in the world.

Dhirubhai Ambani, Founder Chairman of the Reliance Group, had an acute sense that education alone empowers people. He was a great communicator. He communicated to inspire, to guide, to educate and to motivate.

It was his vision that Reliance should venture in all spheres of activities and stamp its class in whatever it does, testimony of which is seen today, in the form of its foray in the services sector including Reliance General Insurance Co. Ltd., catering to a wide range of public needs.

General insurance grows 23% in Q1, Reliance leads way

The general insurance industry grew by 23% in the first quarter of this fiscal, as private players continue their impressive performance with Reliance General emerging as the fastest growing company.

The 12 non-life insurers collected Rs 6,629 crore in premium during April-June ’06-07, compared to Rs 5,372 crore collected in the same period a year ago, according to data compiled by regulator IRDA.

The eight private players’ increased their premium income by 60% to increase market share to 34% while four public sector players saw 10% growth in business leading to a further decline in market share.

By logging 244% growth in April-June, Reliance General has turned out to be a fast-growing insurer. With tariffs set to be dismantled from January next year, private players are likely to further consolidate and increase market share through their price negotiating skills.

Market leader New India Assurance grew premium collection by 16% at Rs 1,360 crore, but conceeded some ground as its market share fell to 20.51% from 21.74% in the year-ago period.

New Delhi-based Oriental Insurance was at the second spot after it increased premium income by 10% at Rs 1,034 crore and cornered a market pie of 15.6%.

United India Insurance grew business by 8.5% at Rs 971 crore and had a market share of 14.64%. National Insurance saw a flat growth to collect Rs 970 crore in premium and 14.63% of the market.

Top private player ICICI Lombard clocked 92% growth in premium collection at Rs 813 crore and had a market share of 12.27%.

Given its consistent growth rate of around 100 per cent, ICICI Lombard may overtake a few of the four established players - NIA, OIC, UII and NIC —this fiscal.

Bajaj Allianz General Insurance saw 41% growth in premium collection and a market pie of 6.78%, followed by Iffco-Tokio which collected Rs 364.5 crore and a market share of 5.49%.

Tata AIG collected Rs 222 crore (3.35%), Reliance General Rs 164 crore (2.47%) and Royal Sundaram Rs 155 crore (2.34%). Cholamandalam collected Rs 79 crore in premium while HDFC Chubb mopped up Rs 44 crore in the April-June period.
