CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

As a measure of providing protection against financial losses caused

by the premature death of breadwinner, life insurance has no parallel

or substitute.

There are two primary reasons why people purchase life insurance.

The better of the two reasons is to provide a death benefit (i.e., some

degree of financial assistance to other persons usually familymembers when the insured dies). The other reason is to provide

savings, particularly for retirement.

Life insurance is often considered as the best estate planning fuel. It

can provide liquidity, help in business planning (key person

insurance), and provide substantial death benefits. The value for such

purposes is calculated in a different way, under business insurance.

The purpose of life insurance for most people is to protect their

beneficiaries standard of living in the event of and timely death of a

wage earner. Life insurance ensures that when the life assured dies,

his beneficiaries will have the financial resources in place to protect

the future income and pay for immediate and future financial

obligations. Without life insurance to meet the deficit, families can be

financially burdened or even devastated at the time of bread winners

death.

Money Back Policy

There are 4 main types of insurance policies: -

1. Term insurance

2. Whole life insurance

3. Endowment4. Annuities


5/58

Money Back Policy

TERM INSURANCE

Term Insurance pays a death benefit to the legal heirs if the person

insured, dies during the term of the policy. Such a policy provides

cover for a specified period only and may be described as temporary

insurance. Term insurance plans offer pure risk cover without any

element of saving. Hence they are the most inexpensive. The sum

assured is payable only if the insured dies during the selected period.

In case the insured does not die during tenure of insurance, nothing is

payable. Term insurance plans could be of the following different

types: -

a) Level term insurance: - Under this plan there is a uniform

premium and benefit throughout the term of the policy. In the

event of death anytime during the term the same sum assured is

payable. Where the term is for over a year, the renewal premium

is the same year. This policy plans is the most popular terminsurance plan mainly because of its simplicity. It is an answer to

neither a temporary need which neither increases nor decreases

over that period. For e.g., a lump sum amount which is due at

certain point time.

b) Decreasing term insurance: - Under this plan the premium is

constant throughout the term but the benefit decreases over a

period. Hence the amount payable on death depends on the

timing of the death even though the premium being paid is

constant. This plan is suited to cases where there is a temporary

need which is reducing. For e.g. where a mortgage loan has to

be repaid this reduces on a monthly or annual basis.

c) Increasing term insurance: - Under this plan the premium as

well as the benefit increase periodically. Te increases could be


6/58

Money Back Policy

at a fixed percentage or in line with an agreed index this plans is

useful in keeping the benefits in line with the time value of

money so that inflation does not erode the value of the benefits

received.

d) Renewable term insurance: - Though term insurance is for a

fixed period a renewable term policy gives the right to renew the

policy without submitting fresh evidence of health. The new

premium however is increased to reflect the increased age of

the insured.

e) Convertible term insurance: - Such a plan includes a

conversion privilege which gives Proposer the right to convert

the policy to a permanent plan (endowment) without evidence of

the health. If such an option is exercised the premium for the

plan must be the standard rate for such a plan and the actual

age of the life insured on the date of conversion of policyconvertible policy are useful for people who have low income

today and hence cannot afford to pay high premium in the initial

years.

Money Back Policy

WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE

Whole life insurance guarantees a death benefit cover throughout the

course of life provided the required premiums are paid. The

advantages of whole life insurance is that the policy if kept current

covers you over your entire life as opposed to term insurance that

covers you only for a certain term of years. Whole life insurance

policies pay out on the death of the assured whenever it occurs.

Premium may need to be paid throughout the life of the assured or a

lesser limited period.

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE

Pure endowment is a plan where the benefit is payable to the insuredonly on survival of the specified term. Combining the features of term

assurance and pure endowment are endowment policies which out

either on the death of the assured whenever it occurs or after a fixed

number of years. Should the insured person survive the term of policy

the policy said to mature. Hence the claim under an endowment policy

may arise either by death or by maturity.


8/58

ANNUITIES

Annuities are a for of pension in which an insurance company makes

a series of periodic payment to a person (annuitant) or his /her

dependants over a number of years (term) in return for the money

paid to the insurance company either in lump sum or in installment.

Annuities start where life insurance ends. It is called the reverse of life

insurance. Annuities stops on the death of a person where as

theoretically life insurance starts on the death of the assured.

Annuities are of two types-

Immediate annuity: - Immediate annuity begins at once or

immediately on expiry of the designed period. Immediate annuity

is purchased with a single premium called purchase price this

type of typically purchased when a person reaches retirement

age and has a lump sum to invest. If the person buying theannuity dies during his legal heirs or nominees get the remaining

installment of the annuity.

Deferred annuity: - Under a deferred annuity plan the annuity

payments to the annuitant commence at some specified time or

specified age of the annuitant. This type of annuity can be

funded either by a single payment or regular payments. The

annuity payment starts after lapse of a selected period called the

deferment period. Other the above the following two types of

policies are also popular in India.

Present Scenario

The Government of India liberalized 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. Premium rates of most

general insurance policies come under the purview of the government

appointed Tariff Advisory Committee.

CHAPTER-2

LIC A PROFILE

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 for

coverage.

With 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 450 billion. Together with banking services, it adds about 7

per cent to the countrys GDP. Gross premium collection is nearly 2

per cent of GDP and funds available with LIC for investments are 8

per cent of GDP.

Yet, nearly 80 per cent of Indian population is without life insurance

cover, health insurance and non-life insurance continue to be below

international standards. And this part of the population is also subject

to weak social security and pension systems with hardly any old age

income security. This it self is an indicator that growth potential for the

insurance sector is immense.

A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is needed for

economic development as it provides long term funds for infrastructure

development and at the same time strengthens the risk taking ability.

It is estimated that over the next ten years India would require

investments of the order of one trillion US dollar. The Insurance


11/58

Money Back Policy

sector, to some extent, can enable investments in infrastructure

development to sustain economic growth of the country.

With a large capital outlay and long gestation periods, infrastructureprojects are fraught with a multitude of risks throughout the

development, construction and operation stages. These include risks

associated with project implementation, 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 ona 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 is a federal subject in India. There are two legislations that

govern the sector The Insurance Act-1938 and the IRDA Act-1999.

INSURANCE IN INDIA

The insurance sector in India has come as a full circle from being an

open competitive market to nationalization and back to a liberalizedmarket again. Tracing the developments in the Indian insurance sector

reveals the 360 degree turn witnessed over a period of almost two

centuries. A brief history of the Insurance sector The business of life

insurance in India in its existing from started in India in the year 1818

with the establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in

Calcutta. Some of the important milestones in the life Insurancebusiness in India are: 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 to by the Insurance Act with the objective of protecting the

interests of the insuring public. 1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers

and provident societies taken over by the central government and

nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956,

with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.

The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace

its roots to the Triton Insurance Ltd., the first general InsuranceCompany established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British.

Some of the 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.


13/58

Money Back Policy

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 (Nationalization) Act,

1972: Nationalized the general insurance business in India with effect

from 1st January.

1973: 107 insurers amalgamated and grouped into four companies

viz. the National Insurance Company Ltd., the New India Assurance

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

India Insurance Company Ltd. GIC incorporated as a company.

Life Insurance Market

The Life Insurance market in India is an underdeveloped market that

was only tapped by the state owned LIC till the entry of privateinsurers. The penetration of life insurance products was 19 percent of

the total 400 million of the insurable population. The state owned LIC

sold insurance as a tax instrument, not as a product giving protection.

Most customers were under-insured with no flexibility or transparency

in the products. With the entry of the private insurers the rules of the

game have changed.

The 12 private insurers in the life insurance market have already

grabbed nearly 9 percent of the market in terms of premium income.

The new business premiums of the 12 private players have tripled to

Rs. 1000 crore in 2002-03 over last year. Meanwhile, state owned

LICs new premium business has fallen.

Innovative products, smart marketing and aggressive distribution.

Thats the triple whammy combination that has enabled fledging

private insurance companies to sign up Indian customers faster than

anyone ever expected. Indians, who have always seen life insurance

as a tax saving device, are now suddenly turning to the private sector

and snapping up the new innovative products on offer.

The growing popularity of the private insurers shows in other ways.

They are coining money in new niches that they have introduced. The

state owned companies still dominate segments like endowments and

money back policies. But in the annuity or pension products business,

the private insurers have already wrested over 33 percent of the

market. And in the popular unit-linked insurance schemes they have avirtual monopoly, with over 90 percent of the customers.


15/58

Money Back Policy

The private insurers also seem to be scoring big in other ways they

are persuading people to take out bigger policies. For instance, the

average size of a life insurance policy before privatization was around

Rs. 50,000. That has risen to about Rs. 80,000. But the privateinsurers are ahead in this game and the average size of their policies

is around Rs. 1.1 lakh to Rs.1.2 lakh-way bigger than the industry

average.

Objectives of LIC

Money Back Policy, India

Money back policy provides for periodic payments of partial survival

benefits during the term of the policy, as long as the policyholder isalive.

They differ from endowment policy in the sense that in endowment

policy survival benefits are payable only at the end of the endowment

period.

An important feature of money back policies is that in the event ofdeath at any time within the policy term, the death claim comprises full

sum assured without deducting any of the survival benefit amounts,

which may have already been paid as money-back components. The

bonus is also calculated on the full sum assured.

CHAPTER 3

MONEY BACK POLICIES A THEORITICAL

VIEW

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, insurancecompanies came into existence to carry the message of insurance

and social security through insurance to various sectors of society.


19/58

Money Back Policy

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 established in 1906.

Inn 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 May 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.


20/58

Money Back Policy

However, it was much later on the 19 th 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 wasaccomplished 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 and a comprehensive bill. The Parliament

of India passed the Life Insurance Corporation Act on the 19 th of June

1956, and the Life Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st

September, 1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance muchmore 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 has 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 contracts and during the currency of the policy

it requires as 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.


21/58

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 someBanks 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 SATTELITE 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 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 up

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.


22/58

Money Back Policy

The following are the objectives of the money back policy: -

The primary purpose of the life insurance is to provide

replacement of income to the family and dependence on

premature death of the bread winner.

Life insurance can also be used as regular saving cum

protection plan for meeting long term financial goals. While

saving through other instruments as individual does not get the

benefit of protection along with saving.

Through insurance one can provide protection against

outstanding loan liability in the event of death.

Provisions for ones own later years become increasingly

necessary, especially in changing cultural and social

environment. One can buy a suitable insurance policy, which

will provide periodical payments in ones old age.

Mission

Explore and enhance the quality of life of people through financial

security by providing products and services of aspired attributes with

competitive returns, and by rendering resources for economic

development.

Vision

A trans-nationally competitive financial conglomerate of significance

to societies and Pride of India.

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BY

INVESTOR

What is Money Back Policy?

Unlike ordinary endowment insurance plans where the survival

benefits are payable only at the end of the endowment period, money

back policies provide for periodic payments of partial survival benefits

during the term of the policy, of course so long as the policy holder isalive.

An important feature of this type of policies is that in the event of death

at any time within the policy term, the death claim comprises full sum

assured without deducting any of the survival benefit amounts, which

may have already been paid as money-back components. Similarly,

the bonus is also calculated on the full sum assured.

How is it beneficial to me?

Under money back policies premiums can be paid as per the

insurance companys policy. These could be quarterly, half yearly or

annually. The premiums for these policies are payable for the selected

term of years, or till death if it occurs earlier.By buying such policies one can receive income at regular intervals

other than the risk cover it provides. Also a good amount of bonus on

the full sum assured is quite a good bargain.

Who should buy this plan?

Such plans are particular popular with individuals for whom income atregular intervals is a necessity in addition to an insurance cover. The

minimum age is 12 years to be eligible for a Money-Back Policy.

he will have to pay a premium of Rs 36734.13 only, thus getting a 5%

rebate in premium.

(Scenario 2) respectively. In other words, in preparing this benefit

illustration, it is assumed that the Projected Investment Rate of Return

that LIC will be able to earn throughout the term of the policy will be

6% p.a. or 10% p.a., as the case may be. The Projected InvestmentRate of Return is not guaranteed.

iii) The main objective of the example is that the client is able to

appreciate the features of the product and the flow of benefits in

different circumstances with some level of quantification.

The maturity benefit is the amount shown at the end of the policy term.

this page will show two different rates of assumed future investment

returns. These assumed rates of return are not guaranteed and they

are not the upper or lower limits of what you might get back, as the

value of your policy is dependent on a number of factors including

future investment performance.

play a pivotal role in placing the risks appropriate. The main risks that

are premature death, disability and are excessive longevity. These

risks may ruin an individual as well as hi/her dependents economically

by causing the stoppage of regular income. Such a state is referred to

as Economic Death of an individual.

Protection through insurance may save an individual and his family

from such an economic death. The concept of insurance is based on

three principles economic, legal and actuarial/mathematical.

According to the economic principle, the loss suffered by an individual

is shared by a larger group who are facing the similar type of risk. The

legal principle restricts the members of the risk pool to enjoy the

benefit of having insurance coverage without violating the laws of the

land. The actuarial/mathematical principle enables a life insurer to

estimate the premium to be paid by each member in order to get the

required level of protection on the basis of the risk class to which an

individual belongs.
