INTRODUCTION

Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk of loss to life and property. Insurance is a collective

bearing of risk. Insurance is a financial device to spread the risks and losses of few people among a large number of people, as people

prefer small fixed liability instead of big uncertain and changing liability. Insurance can be defined as a “legal contract between two

parties whereby one party called insurer undertakes to pay a fixed amount of money on the happening of a particular event, which may

be certain or uncertain.” The other party called insured pays in exchange a fixed sum known as premium. Insurance is desired to

safeguard oneself and one’s family against possible losses on account of risks and perils. It provides financial compensation for the

losses suffered due to the happening of any unforeseen events.

LIFE INSURANCE

Life assurance is a contract between the policy owner and the insurer, where the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the

occurrence of the insured individuals or individuals death or other event, such as terminal illness or critical illness. In return, the

policy owner(or policy payer) agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals or in lump sums. There may be

designs in some countries where bills and death expenses plus catering for after funeral expenses should be included in Policy

Premium. As with most insurance policies, life insurance is a contract between the insurer and the policy owner(Policyholder)

whereby a benefit is paid to the designated Beneficiary(or Beneficiaries) if an insured event occurs which is covered by the policy. To

be a life policy the insured event must be based upon life (or lives) of the people named in the policy.

Life insurance may be divided into two basic classes – term and permanent.

• Term life insurance provides for life insurance coverage for a specified term of years for a specified premium. The policy does not

accumulate cash value.

• Permanent life insurance is life insurance that remains in force until the policy matures, unless the owner fails to pay the premium

when due.

• Whole life insurance provides for a level premium, and a cash value table included in the policy guaranteed by the company. The

primary advantages of whole life are guaranteed death benefits, guaranteed cash values, fixed and known annual premiums, and

mortality and expense charges will not reduce the cash value shown in the policy.

IMPORTANCE OF INSURANCE Insurance constitutes one of the major segments of the financial market. Insurance services play predominant role in the

process of financial intermediary. Today insurance industry is one of the most growing sectors in India. There is lot of potential in

the Indian Insurance Industry. There are many issues, which require study. The major issue right now is the hike in FDI (Foreign

Direct Investment) limit from 26% to 49% in the insurance sector. Government may in near future allow 49% FDI in Insurance. This

would lead to more capital inflow by foreign partners. Another major issue is the effects on LIC after the entry of private players in

the market.

PRIINCIPLES OF INSURANCE

An insurance contract is based on some basic principles of insurance.

1. Principle of “Uberrimae Fides” or utmost good faith

It means “maximum truth”. Both the parties should disclose all material information regarding the subject matter of

insurance.

2. Principle of indemnity

This means that if the insured suffers a loss against which the policy has been made, he shall be fully indemnified only to the

extent of loss. In other words, the insured is not entitled to make a profit on his loss.

3. Principle of subrogation

This means the insurer is entitled to recover from a negligent third party any loss payments made to the insured. The

purposes of subrogation are to hold the negligent person responsible for the loss and prevent the insured from collecting

twice for the same loss. The concept of Third Party Claims is based on the same principle.

4. Principle of causa proxima

The cause of loss must be direct and an insured person has to claim for compensation.

5. Principle of insurable interest

The assured must have insurance interest in the life or property insured. The insurable interest is that interest which

considerably alters the position of the assured in the event of loss taking place and if the event does not take place, he remains

in the same old positions.

6. Principle of contribution

In case the insured took more than one insurance policy for same subject matter, he/she can't make profit by making claim for

same loss more than once

7. Principle of loss minimisation

This principle states that the insured must take all the necessary steps to minimize the losses to inured assets.

The Indian life insurance industry has begun to recover and is likely to report 12-15% growth in financial year (FY) 2016-17,

according to an ICRA paper (Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency of India Limited )analysing the performance of nine

life insurance companies in India, one in the public sector and eight in the private sector. Together, they represent over 87% of the

total annualised premium equivalent (APE) of the life insurance industry during first nine months (April-December) of financial year

(FY) 16. The companies analysed are: Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Corp. Ltd, Bajaj

Allianz Life Insurance Co. Ltd, SBI Life Insurance Co. Ltd, Birla Sunlife Insurance Co. Ltd, Max Life Insurance Co. Ltd, Reliance

Life Insurance Co. Ltd, Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance Ltd, and HDFC Standard Life Insurance Co. Ltd. During the

period, the industry APE grew 6% year-on-year (y-o-y), as against a contraction of 9% y-o-y in FY15 to stand at Rs.37,300 crore (it

was Rs.35,000 crore in the first nine months of FY15). The growth for private companies was 13% y-o-y during the period. LIC

witnessed an improvement to 1% y-o-y during April-December FY16 from a contraction of 24% in FY15.

As per statistics released by the IRDAI(Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India ), the life insurance

industry in India collected weighted new business premiums of INR373 billion in the first nine months of FY2015-16, representing a

growth of 6.5% over the corresponding period in FY2014-15. Weighted new business premiums are calculated as 100% of regular

premium and 10% of single premium. State-owned LIC observed a marginal increase of 1% in its weighted new business premium

collections, but witnessed a decline in its market share from 54.3% to 51.5%. LIC continues to show a decline in its individual

business, but has witnessed a positive growth of 13.3% in its group business, which is better than the growth achieved by private

players for group business. Press reports suggest that LIC has been able to improve its growth and indicate a further positive outlook

for the remainder of the financial year, owing to introduction of new products just ahead of the critical last quarter of the financial

year, when purchase of life insurance noticeably increases as consumers aim to reap benefits of any unutilised income tax credits

available from purchase of life insurance. Private insurers have continued to witness optimistic performance over the first nine months

of FY2015-16 reporting a year on year growth of 13%, along with improvement in their combined market share from 45.7% to 48.5%.

Private players recorded a rise in their individual and group business by 13.4% and 11.7% respectively. Growth in single and new

business regular premium collections were 29.1% and 12.3% respectively indicating continued buoyancy for single premium business.

ICICI Prudential Life has continued to maintain its position as the market leader amongst private insurers, with a rise in its market

share from 8.7% to 9.3%, year-on-year, supported by a growth of 13.3% in its weighted new business collections similar to the overall

growth achieved by private insurers combined. Except for Reliance Life, Bajaj Allianz Life and Max Life, all of the top 10 private

insurers have registered a positive growth in their weighted new business premium collections during the reporting period. Tata AIA

Life has registered a turn-around growth of 159.4% in its weighted new business premium collections, due to a low base effect. Kotak

Life and Shriram Life have also witnessed significant surge in their weighted new business collections in excess of 60% compared to

the previous year. On the other hand, Aviva Life has witnessed a fall of 40.8% in its weighted new business premium collections over

the first nine months of FY2015-16.

Expenses of private life insurers Expenses of life insurers have received increased attention recently with ongoing deliberations among industry participants on the

appropriate limit for expenses of management. Further, increasing attention is being paid to allocation of total company expenses by

line of business, as expenses allocated to participating business are directly shared with the policyholders. High expense ratios remain

a general concern for the industry as most players continue to experience expense over-runs relative to long term expense loadings

allowed for in pricing despite nearly a decade and a half since privatisation. Nevertheless, the overall expense ratio for the life

insurance industry (excluding Aviva Life and Sahara Life) has come down from 18.7% for FY2013-14 to 16.3% for FY2014-15 as

concerted efforts are being made towards expense rationalization.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Khan.M.K. (1978) attempts to know the opportunities and prospects in the life insurance sector. He explains about what a

good career is and how a good career should be for selling of life insurance products. There is no age barrier and it requires no

previous occupational experience but one must be a professional and capable of creating opportunities in building personality. The

relationship of life Insurance agent with clients is not temporary and the service rendered has no substitutes. He also observes that life

insurance agent remains, in a sense, permanentserver to the clients.SheshaAyyar, V. (1986) in his article entitled “Product

Development” has discussed various issues connected with developing new polices such as the

importance of developing new schemes and various problems involved in the development of new schemes in Company. He

suggested the need for including ancillary benefits such as accident benefits, disablement and hospitalization benefits. Mishra, M.N.

(1987) made a study to appraise the strategies of Life Insurance Company. While reviewing the strategies, the author felt that before

1960Life Insurance Company did not give much attention to the objective of customer satisfaction, but from 1980 onwards the

corporation has taken several remedial measures to provide better customer service and improve the customer satisfaction. The

Insurance Institute of India prepared a Project Report on “Marketing of Life Insurance”, (1987). This project was undertaken to

examine the following aspects: Extent of life insurance coverage, awareness, attitudes and beliefs of people on life insurance,

perceptions, sense of identification of employees with Life Insurance Company. He concluded that LIC is a better avenue of

investmentthan bank deposits. LIC products are sold easily among the consumers on account of

its reliability.Rao, B.S.R. and AppaRaoMachiraju (1988) in their article entitled “Life Insurance and Emerging Trends in Financial

Services Market”, contends that the agents of life insurance should improve their services to the level of financial experts. The authors

felt that the change in the economic scenario would help the corporation in better services field.Raghunadhan, R. (1988) in his article

“Population - Insurable and Insured “made an attempt to analyze the insurance coverage of the insurable population and concluded

that more self employed and agricultural laborers are to be tapped. The author gave a suggestion to improve and introduce new

schemes to satisfy the groups. The National Council of Applied Economic Research, New Delhi conducted two surveys in 1988 and

1989 on “Appraisal of Quality Service in Service Organizations” and “Quality Services in Life Insurance Company “respectively.

These two studies were sponsored by the Life Insurance Company. The policyholders’ general feeling is that the demand notice must

be sent in time. Some policyholders rated the quality of services was excellent. Hence, by providing promptservices, the customer

relationship is maintained for a long period of time.Appi Reddy and Narasimha Murthy, G. (1992) have attempted toexamine true

marketing practices followed by Life Insurance Company in rural areas and problems involved in providing the services. The

organization appoints development officers with responsibility in specified territory (Trust with Trust) andspecial promotional efforts

like field publicity vans, film shows, exhibitions etc are insisted. The study found that only 4.55 crores people have been insured




143

against the insurable population of 21 crores, in spite of consistent efforts. Raghu Gulati (1999) in his survey attempts to observe the

Life insurance market in relation to products and customers. A basic understanding of life insurance business, product portfolio,

strategy the company adopts, demographic analysis, the customer strategy that the organization repeatedly follows when launching

insurances. is studied. The study also reveals that the company has deep penetration in urban areas, but the people are under insured,

yet there exist potential to increase the coverage of insurance. 50% of Life Insurance Company business comes from rural areas and

agents seem to be the most effective channels regarding sales. In product strategy, if the customer is in need of basis insurance

product, the company should come forward to launch term profit that is to be matched with risk; a unit link product is to be launched

etc.SheshaAyyer, V. (1999) in his article entitled “New Insurance Products in the Next Century” expressed his views about new

products. The possibility of the aged living too long has become real because of advancement in medical facilities. Pension schemes

have thus become popular though at a slow pace. Divorce rates are increasing and the insurer can look into the problem and introduce

new schemes to fit them.
