CHAPTER - 1

INDUSTRY PROFILE

1.1 History of insurance:

Insurance began as a way of reducing the risk of traders, as

early as 5000 BC and 4500 BC in. Life insurance dates only to ancient

Rome; "burial clubs" covered the cost of members' funeral expenses

and helped survivors monetarily. Modern life insurance started in late

17th century, originally as insurance for traders: merchants, ship

owners and underwriters met to discuss deals at Lloyd's Coffee House,

predecessor to the famous.

The first insurance company was formed in 1732, but it provided only

fire insurance. The sale of life insurance in the U.S. began in the late

1760s. The Synods in and created the Corporation for Relief of Poor

and Distressed Widows and Children of Presbyterian Ministers in

1759; Episcopalian priests organized a similar fund in 1769. Between

1787 and 1837 more than two dozen life insurance companies were

started, but fewer than half a dozen survived. Prior to, many insurance

companies in the United States for their owners, in response to bills

passed in 2001 and in 2003, the companies have been required to

search their records for such policies for example reported that

Nautilus sold 485slaveholder life insurance policies during a two-year

period in the 1840s; they added that their trustees voted to end the sale

of such policies 15 years before the General information:

Human have always sought securities. This quest for security

was an important motivating force in the earliest formation of families,

clans, tribes, and other groups. Indeed, groups have been the primary

source both emotional and physical security since the beginning of

humankind. They ensured a less volatile source of life necessities then

that which ensures isolated human & families could provide and help

their less fortunate members in the time of crises.

Page 8: Metlife Project

Human today continue their quest to achieve security and

reduce risk uncertainty. We still rely on group for financial stability.

The group may be our employer, the government, or an insurance

company, but concept is the same. In some ways however, we today

are more vulnerable that our ancestors. The physical and economical

securities formerly provided by the tribes or extended family

diminished with industrialization. Our income dependent, wealth

acquiring lifestyle renders and our families more vulnerable to

environment and societal changes over which we have no control.

Humans are exposed to many serious perils, such as property

loss from fire or windstorm, and personal losses from incapacity and

death. All through individual cannot predict or completely prevent

such occurrences, they can provide for their financial effects.

Encyclopedia of finance and banking defines insurance as the

elimination of or protection against risk amenable to actual calculation,

voidance or reduction of losses occurring through misfortunes such as

death, fire, accident, tornado, shipwreck, etc. insurance is a contact

between an insurer and insured where by the insurer identifies the

insured against loss due to specific risks such as from fire, storm and

death. Insurance contracts require an agreement, considerations,

capacity, legality, compliance with the status of frauds and delivery.

Insurance is an integral part of most enterprises, risk management

program. Insurance does not prevent losses, it substitutes a small

certain loss (premium) for a possible or contingent large loss. The

insured is indemnified for the amount of loss, for the insured amount,

or for the face of his policy, in return for payment of periodic

premiums.

Page 9: Metlife Project

1.2 The principle kinds of insurance are as follows:

i. Life-term, ordinary, endowment, limited payment, group

industrial and annuities, with a variety of combinations of the

four basic forms.

ii. Fire & marine-fire, ocean marine, motor vehicle, inland

navigation, and transportation, tornado and windstorm,

sprinkler leakage, earthquake, riot and civil commotion,

explosion rain, hale, flood, aircraft, etc.

iii. Causality and surety -automobile liability, liability other than

automobile workers, compensation, fidelity and surety,

burglary and theft, automobile property damage, accident in 2

for a participation in dividends by all policy holders. In this way the

cost of insurance to the insured is reduced.

iv. Four classes of insurance business:

v. Life insurance

vi. Fire insurance

vii. Marine insurance

viii. Miscellaneous insurance.

Page 10: Metlife Project

subsidiaries, so that these subsidiaries can act as independent

companies.

c. All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to

operate.

d. Competition:

e. Private companies with minimum paid up capital of Rs. 1

billion should be allowed to enter the industry; no company

should deal in both life and general insurance through single

entity.

f. Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry

collaboration with domestic companies.

g. Postal life insurance should be allowed to operate in rural areas

h. Only one state level life insurance company should be allowed

to operate in each state.

i. Regulatory body:

j. The insurance act should be changed

k. An insurance regulatory body should be set up.

l. Life insurers transact life insurance business; general insurers

transact the rest. No companies are permitted as per law.

m. Legislation (as on 1-4-2000):

Page 12: Metlife Project

n. Insurance is a federal subject in India; the primary legislation

that deals with insurance business in India is;

o. Insurance Act, 1938 and Insurance Regulatory & Development

Authority Act, 1999

p. Fire and miscellaneous insurance business are predominant

motor and vehicle insurance is compulsory.

q. Tariff Advisory Committee (TAC) lays down tariff rates for

ombudsman is empowered to redress customer grievances in respect of

insurance contracts on personal lines where the insurance amount is

less than 20 Lakhs, in accordance with the ombudsmen scheme.

Page 13: Metlife Project

1.4 NEED FOR LIFE INSURANCE

Maslow’s need hierarchy theory:

Making the person feel “SAFE” other expression of the need

for safety occur when individuals are confronted with real emergencies

e.g. accidents, war, crime, natural calamities, etc. once physical needs

are met, another set to motives, safety or security needs, become

motivates. The primary motivating force here is to ensure reasonable

degree of continuity, order, structure and predictability in once

environment. Maslow suggested that the safety needs are most readily

observed in infant and young children because of their relative’s

helplessness and dependence on adults.

Security needs in original context co-related to such factors as

job security, salary increment, safe working conditions, unionization

and lobbying for prospective registration.

Risk and uncertainty are part of life great adventures accident,

illness, thefts, natural disaster. They are built into the working of

universe, waiting to happen. Insurance that is main answer to the

vagaries of life. If you cannot beat the manmade and natural

calamities, wealth, at least be prepared for them and aftermath.

Insurance is contract between two parties one is insurer

(insurance company) and insured (the person or entity seeking the

coverage). Where the insurer agrees to pay the insured for the financial

loses arising out of any unforeseen events in return for a regular

payment of the premium.

These unforeseen events are determined as risk and that is why

insurance is called is the risk cover. Hence the insurance is the

essential means to financially compensate for loses that life throws at

people- corporate and otherwise.

India at glance:

Page 14: Metlife Project

a. Economy: India is 5th largest economy in the world in terms of

purchase.

b. GDP Growth rate: over 6% per year on an average for the last

decade.

c. Savings rate: around 26% of GDP

d. Estimated middle class population: 300 million

e. Insured population: 70 million

f. India has an enormous middle class that can afford to by life,

health and disability and pens on plan products. The level of

penetration of life insurance in India compared to other

developed nations can be judged by a comparison of per capita

life premium.

CHAPTER -4

FINDING & RECOMENDATION

(A)In the insurance sector the people come for join as a financial

advisor they have not more qualification most of people have

qualification below intermediate.

So it is important that company choose that person for financial

advisor, who have better education and he have more knowledge about

the market.

(B ) Af t e r l ook ing i n to t he S t r eng th , weaknes s ,

opportunities and threats, it is being observed that it has a nice build up

with the other bank assurance but it itself is promoting less

(C).Persons are interested in insurance sector for work they like it for

its facilities. People give positive response when I asked him that are

they interested in insurance sector. So if the company gives more

facilities tjen the people join it and they take more interest in it.

(D) There are unlimited scope in the insurance sector in India, but for

MetLife in order to create a market share and to make the market feel

of their presence, there are lot of improvements have to be done like

creating more branches to make it visible in t he ma rke t .

(E) When I asked them that why they want to join it most of people

join it for better opportunities, few people join it for money but some

people join it that it is an honorable business. So if the company gives

the more opportunities to financial advisor as like incentive, award,

promotion etc. many people join it.

(F) When I asked that they have any experience then less people said that they have

experience in this sector. It means less people already work in this sector. So if the

companies give more attention then they get more people for work in the company.

Page 49: Metlife Project

(G) As the people think that insurance is a tool to protect their family & a tax saving

device. They are aware of the fact & 89 realizing its, importance. There is a large

potential for insurance in India.

(H) People work in this sector less time, those people who have

experience they worked less time more people work in this sector

below 3 years.

(I) There are tow types of insurance held in the field first General Insurance for motor

and second is Life Insurance for men, more people have experience in the life

insurance it is a benefit for the company that more people can join it as a job.

(J) Met Life India Insurance is leading with several companies’ policies it should be

easy for them to penetrate into the market and secure a good position if they pay

greater attention to the service part provided to their customer and thereby forming a

long and trusted relationship.

(K) Those person who are work already in a other organization they

want ot left that organization some people say due to conflict in the

organization, some say that the can not get more opportunities in that

organization, some say for money and some say that they have some

personal problem for leaving the organization. It means if the

organization improves these facilities then the organization attract

more experience people in the organization.

(L) More people want to join the MetLife insurance company. Its

means the company have more value in the market and it gives more

facility instead of others companies.

Page 50: Metlife Project

opportunities which are given to the financial advisors. So its

impartment that company try to provides more facilities that more
