PREFACE
The liberalization of the Indian insurance sector has been the subject of much heated
debate for some years. The policy makers where in the catch 22 situation wherein for one
they wanted competition, development and growth of this insurance sector which is
extremely essential for channeling the investments in to the infrastructure sector. At the
other end the policy makers had the fears that the insurance premium, which are
substantial, would seep out of the country; and wanted to have a cautious approach of
opening for foreign participation in the sector.
As one of the rare occurrences the entire debate was put on the back burner and the IRDA
saw the day of the light thanks to the maturing polity emerging consensus among factions
of different political parties. Though some changes and some restrictive clauses as
regards to the foreign participation were included the IRDA has opened the doors for the
private entry into insurance.
Whether the insurer is old or new, private or public, expanding the market will present
multitude of challenges and opportunities. But the key issues, possible trends,
opportunities and challenges that insurance sector will have still remains under the realms
of the possibilities and speculation. What is the likely impact of opening up Indias
insurance sector?
The large scale of operations, public sector bureaucracies and cumbersome procedures
hampers nationalized insurers. Therefore, potential private entrants expect to score in the
areas of customer service, speed and flexibility. They point out that their entry will mean

better products and choice for the consumer. The critics counter that the benefit will be
slim, because new players will concentrate on affluent, urban customers as foreign banks
did until recently. This seems to be a logical strategy. Start-up costs-such as those of
setting up a conventional distribution network-are large and high-end niches offer betterreturns. However, the middle-market segment too has great potential. Since insurance is a
volumes game. Therefore, private insurers would be best served by a middle-market
approach, targeting customer segments that are currently untapped

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In todays corporate and competitive world, I find that insurance sector has the maximum
growth and potential as compared to the other sectors. Insurance has the maximum
growth rate of 70-80% while as FMCG sector has maximum 12-15% of growth rate. This
growth potential attracts me to enter in this sector and RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE
has given me the opportunity to work and get experience in highly competitive and
enhancing sector.
The success story of good market share of different market organizations depends
upon the availability of the product and services near to the customer, which can
be distributed through a distribution channel. In Insurance sector, distribution
channel includes only agents or agency holders of the company. If a company like
RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE, TATA AIG, MAX etc have adequate agents in
the market they can capture big market as compared to the other companies.
Agents are the only way for a company of Insurance sector through which
policies and benefits of the company can be explained to the customer.

INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
AN OVERVIEW
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 15-20 per
cent annually and presently is of the order of Rs 1560.41 billion (for the financial year
2006 2007). Together with banking services, it adds about 7% to the countrys Gross
Domestic Product (GDP). The gross premium collection is nearly 2% of GDP and funds
available with LIC for investments are 8% of the GDP.
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
A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is needed for economic development as it
provides long term funds for infrastructure development and strengthens the risk takingability of individuals. It is estimated that over the next ten years India would require
investments of the order of one trillion US dollars.
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
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 in India, 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 entirelyin 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 thatprovided strict State Control over the insurance business. The insurance business grew at
a faster pace after independence. 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. Nationalization was justified on the grounds that it would
create the much needed funds for rapid industrialization. This was in conformity with the
Government's chosen path of State led planning and development.
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- National Insurance Company, New India
Assurance Company, Oriental Insurance Company and United India Insurance Company.
These were subsidiaries of the General Insurance Company (GIC).

KEY MILESTONES
1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate
the life insurance business.
1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect
statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.
1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended by the Insurance Act with theobjective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.
1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers along with provident societies were taken over by
the central government and nationalized. LIC was formed by an Act of Parliament- LIC
Act 1956- with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.

INDUSTRY REFORMS
Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA Bill in
Parliament in December 1999. The IRDA since its incorporation as a statutory body in
April 2000 has fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulations and registering
the private sector insurance companies. Since being set up as an independent statutory
body the IRDA has put in a framework of globally compatible regulations.
The other decision taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems to the
insurance sector and in particular the life insurance companies was the launch of the
IRDA online service for issue and renewal of licenses to agents. The approval of
institutions for imparting training to agents has also ensured that the insurance companies
would have a trained workforce of insurance agents in place to sell their products.

PRESENT SCENARIO - LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The life insurance industry in India grew by an impressive 47.38%, with premium
income at Rs. 1560.41 billion during the fiscal year 2006-2007. Though the total volume
of LIC's business increased in the last fiscal year (2006-2007) compared to the previous
one, its market share came down from 85.75% to 81.91%.
The 17 private insurers increased their market share from about 15% to about 19% in a
year's time. The figures for the first two months of the fiscal year 2007-08 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.
With the opening up of the insurance industry in India many foreign players have entered
the market. The restriction on these companies is that they are not allowed to have more
than a 26% stake in a companys ownership.
Since the opening up of the insurance sector in 1999, foreign investments of Rs. 8.7
billion have poured into the Indian market and 19 private life insurance companies have
been granted licenses.
Innovative products, smart marketing, and aggressive distribution have enabled fledgling
private insurance companies to sign up Indian customers faster than anyone expected.
Indians, who had always seen life insurance as a tax saving device, are now suddenlyturning to the private sector and snapping up the new innovative products on offer. Some
of these products include investment plans with insurance and good returns (unit linked
plans), multi purpose insurance plans, pension plans, child plans and money back plans.

INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPANY
COMPANY PROFILE OF RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE
FOUNDER
Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their countrys economic
fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still have left
behind a legacy that is more enduring and timeless.
As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the true
genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the proud
patriot, the leader of men, the architect of Indias capital markets, the champion of
shareholder interest.
But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of Indias greatest wealth
creator. In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, Indias largest
private sector enterprise.
When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of
barely US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he
converted this fledgling enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossusan achievement
which earned Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian
private company to do so.

10/66
Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of Indias capital markets. In 1977, when
Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a
place patronised by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of
stocks.
Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-time retail
investors to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard-earned
money in the Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their trust,
substantial return on their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of
mutual respect and reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.
Under Dhirubhais extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of the
greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to
become Indias largest private sector enterprise.
Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary
shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the
initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the worlds largest
shareholder families.

namely, Ken-India Assurance Company Limited, Nairobi; United Oriental Assurance
Company Limited, Kuala Lumpur; and Life Insurance Corporation (International), E.C.
Bahrain. It has also entered into an agreement with the Sun Life (UK) for marketing unit
linked life insurance and pension policies in U.K.
In 1995-96, LIC had a total income from premium and investments of $ 5 Billion while
GIC recorded a net premium of $ 1.3 Billion. During the last 15 years, LIC's income
grew at a healthy average of 10 per cent as against the industry's 6.7 per cent growth in
the rest of Asia (3.4 per cent in Europe, 1.4 per cent in the US).
LIC has even provided insurance cover to five million people living below the poverty
line, with 50 per cent subsidy in the premium rates. LIC's claims settlement ratio at 95
per cent and GIC's at 74 per cent are higher than that of global average of 40 per cent.
Compounded annual growth rate for Life insurance business has been 19.22 per cent per
annum
General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC)
The general insurance industry in India was nationalized and a government company
known as General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) was formed by the Central
Government in November 1972. With effect from 1 January 1973 the erstwhile 107
Indian and foreign insurers which were operating in the country prior to nationalization,
were grouped into four operating companies, namely, (i) National Insurance Company
Limited; (ii) New India Assurance Company Limited; (iii) Oriental Insurance Company
Study of Investor Behavior Toward Reliance life Insurance Page 16
7/29/2019 Investor Behaiour Toward Reliance Life Insurance Policies
17/66
Limited; and (iv) United India Insurance Company Limited. (However, with effect from
Dec'2000, these subsidiaries have been de-linked from the parent company and made as
independent insurance companies). All the above four subsidiaries of GIC operate all
over the country competing with one another and underwriting various classes of general
insurance business except for aviation insurance of national airlines and crop insurance
which is handled by the GIC.
Besides the domestic market, the industry is presently operating in 17 countries directly
through branches or agencies and in 14 countries through subsidiary and associate
companies.
IN ADDITION TO ABOVE STATE INSURERS THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN
PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO INSURANCE BUSINESS: -
The introduction of private players in the industry has added to the colors in the dull
industry. The initiatives taken by the private players are very competitive and have given
immense competition to the on time monopoly of the market LIC. Since the advent of the
private players in the market the industry has seen new and innovative steps taken by the
players in this sector. The new players have improved the service quality of the
insurance. As a result LIC down the years have seen the declining phase in its career. The
market share was distributed among the private players. Though LIC still holds the 75%
of the insurance sector but the upcoming natures of these private players are enough to
give more competition to LIC in the near future. LIC market share has decreased from
95% (2002-03) to 82 %( 2004-05).

study was done in order to know the accuracy of the Questionnaire. The final
Questionnaire was arrived only after certain important changes were done. Thus my
sampling came out to be judemental and convinent
Sampling Unit:

MARKETING STRATREGIES OF THE COMPANY
SOME OF THE STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY RELIANCE LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY.
Reliance Life Insurance plans to tap Reliance Communications' 2.5-crore telephony
subscriber base to market its products.
The company is considering a series of options to leverage its relationship with Reliance
Communications.
However, a joint product or a co-branded solution would require approval from the
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
Customers of R World, the information and entertainment portal of Reliance
Communications, would also be able to pay premiums through a bank account, provided
the bank is listed on the network.
Reliance Life Insurance officials, however, offered no comment when asked whether
there would be an arrangement for payment of commission to Reliance Communications.
As an alternative channel for distribution, insurance companies usually tie up with banks.
In the case of banc assurance, where there is a corporate agency tie-up, the commission
could range from 5 per cent to 40 per cent of first-year premium depending on the
commission loaded on to the product at the time of registration with IRDA.

CHAPTER VI
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
Our exhaustive research in the field of Life Insurance threw up some interesting trends
which can be seen in the above analysis. A general impression that we gathered during
Data collection was the immense awareness and knowledge among people about various
companies and their insurance products. People are beginning to look beyond LIC for
Study of Investor Behavior Toward Reliance life Insurance Page 57
7/29/2019 Investor Behaiour Toward Reliance Life Insurance Policies
58/66
their insurance needs and are willing to trust private players with their hard earned
money.
People in general have been impression by the marketing and advertising campaigns of
insurance companies. A high penetration of print , radio and Television ad campaigns
over the years is beginning to have its impact now.
The general satisfaction levels among public with regards to policy and agents still
requires improvement. But therein lays the opportunity for a relative new comer like
ING. LIC has never been known for prompt service or customer oriented methods and
Reliance can build on these factors.
