In first phase we were introduced about the general idea of insurance in
India, other financial products related to karvy consultancies and special five
days product training of ICICI prudential.
Second phase was related to practical implementation of the theoretical
knowledge we earned. In this phase we went for actual selling in market.

Chapter 1:
Fundamentals OfInsurance
Insure - then you can welcome the unexpected because future rarely comes in
neat, predictable packages
What is Insurance?
Insurance is a financial service for collecting the saving of the public and
providing them with a risk coverage.
Thus in insurance,
The Risk
The insured The insurer
General definition: In the words of John Magee, Insurance is a plan by which
large number of people associate and transfer to the shoulders of all risks that
attach to individuals.
Contractual definition: In the words of justice Tindall, Insurance is a contract in
which a sum of money is paid to the assured as consideration of insurers incurring
the risk of paying a large sum upon a given contingency.

Why do you need Insurance cover?
Insurance will help provide protection to investors from certain or uncertain risks.
Certain risk includes events like death, retirement, pension, education, marriage,
etc. Uncertain risk includes events like theft, accident, fire, ill-health etc.
Assets are insuredbecause they are likely to be destroyed or made non
functional through an accident occurrence. Such possible occurrences are called
perils. Fire, floods, break down, earthquake are perils. The damage that these
perils may cause the asset is the risk that the asset is exposed to. The risk only
means that there is possibility of loss or damage. It may or may not happen. Yetthere is uncertainty about risk. Insurance is done against this contingency.
A human life is also an income-generating asset. This asset also can be lost
through unexpectedly early death or made non-functional through sickness and
disability caused by accident. Accident may or may not happen. Death will
happen, but the timing is uncertain. If it happens around the time of retirement,
when it could be expected that the income will normally cease or the person
could have made some other arrangement to meet the continuing needs. But if it
happens much earlier when the alternative arrangements are not in place,
insurance is necessary to help those dependent on income.
In case of a human being, he may have made arrangements for his need after his
retirement. These would have been made on the basis of some expectations like
he may live for another 15 years or that his children will look after him. If any
of these expectations would become inadequate and there could be difficulties.
Living too long can be as much a problem as dying too young. These are risks,
which need to be safeguard against thorough insurance.
Satisfaction of economic needs require generation of income from some
sources. If the property, which is the source of income, is lost fully or partially,
7
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
8/58
permanently or temporarily, the income too will stop. The purpose of insurance
is to safeguard against such misfortunes by making good the losses of the
unfortunate few through the help of the fortunate many who were exposed to
the same risk but saved from the misfortune. Thus the essence of insurance is to
share the losses and substitute certainty by uncertainty.
The concept of insurance has been extended beyond the coverage of tangible
assets. An exporter runs the risk of the importers in the other country defaulting
as well as loses due to sudden changes in currency exchange rates, economic
policies or political disturbances. These risk are now insured. Doctors run the
risk of being charged with negligence and subsequently liability for damages.
The amount in question can be fairly large beyond the capacity of individuals tobear. These are insured. In some countries the voice of a singer may be insured
though benefit of spread is not available in these cases. Thus, insurance is
extended to intangibles.
For multinational corporations political risk is one of the many factors that need
to be assessed and manage throughout the life time of an oversees project and
Investment. These investments related exposure can be covered by a
confiscation, expropriation and nationalization programme which will insure a
permanent investment outside a companys home base operation.
Other objectives of insurance could be:
Family of insured is protected.
Provision of retirement and old age
To provide funds for education, marriage, ill-health
To get tax relief from income tax and wealth tax, the premium paid as well
as the sum assured
To cover the risk from theft, burglary, accident, fire etc
Business of Insurance
Business of Insurance is done by Insurance companies- called
Insurer. Insurer brings together persons with common insurance interest or
8
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
9/58
who are sharing common risk called Insured. Insurer collects the share of
contribution called premium from all of them and pay compensation called
Claim to those who suffer.
The business of Insurance is nothing but one of the sharing. It
spreads the loss of an individual over the group of individuals who suffer
common risk People who suffered loss get relief because their loss is made
good. People who do not suffer loss are relieved because they were spread the
loss.
The insurer is in position of trustee as it is managing the
common fund for and on behalf of the community. It has to ensure that nobody
is allowed to take undue advantage of the arrangement. That is to say that the
management of business requires care to prevent entry into the group of people
whose risk are not of the same kind as well as playing claims in losses that are
not accidental.
Categories Of Insurance
The following are major categories of Insurance
Insurance
Life Health Medical General
Endowment Whole Life Mutual fund return
And risk coverage partially
Pension/Annuity contracts with profit or
Without profit for fixed amounts on maturity

It includes individuals, commercial & industrial organizations who are exposed
to risk and uncertainties and want to safeguard their interest.
Intermediaries:
Insurance Agent:
An Insurance agent is a person who works for insurer. His job is to bring in
customer for the insurance company. He is remunerated in the form of
commission expressed as a percentage of premiums payable on the business
introduced.
Insurance Broker:
A broker is an individual or a firm whose full time occupation is the placement
of insurance business with insurance companies. An Insurance Booker is
deemed to be an independent profession. The broker receives brokerage
expressed as a % of premiums from the insurer. In India broker has been absent
in insurance market except those operating internationally especially in
Reinsurance field.
Insurance Consultant:
There are large numbers of Insurance consultant in Insurance Industry who
advise the insured in a manner similar to that of broker or an agent. He will be
remunerated by the customer and not from the insurer for providing this service.
So far law in India does not require such Insurance consultant to be registered
under the law.
The home service representative:
Industrial Life Assurance business requires service of these representatives
to call at home of the policyholders to collect the weekly/monthly premium and
hopefully to sell further policies. This business is not being transected in India,
however it is used extensively in developed countries.

Reinsurance Broker
The transaction of reinsurance business is commonly done with the help of
Reinsurance Broker who brings the buyer and seller together. Buyer is the
insurer, which has business in excess of its capacity, and seller is the insurer,
which has spar capacity to take the business that is offered to it.
Insurance companies:
These are the institution, which provides insurance to the buyers. They
approach to the customers either directly or through agents and brokers. There
are several such different organizations for insurers. The insurance law normally
provides guidelines about the minimum requirement for such institutions. In
India, insurance companies are subject to be governed by IRDA.

Insurance has become Sine quo non-in todays
environment, where the Indian consumer is savoring a variety of
products and services. To maintain a life style, many of us take on loans
and other facilities and other financial products, sometimes far in excess
of our incomes. Think of a situation where a couple works hard for 10

years to set aside money for their dream house and house is destroyed in
a fore or an earthquake. Can they ever build it? Yes if they are
adequately insured.
To cater to such needs, insurance have introduced a range of
new products. Today you have insurance products that will cover the
risk to your life, your house hold belongings, and even your pets, and
provide you professional indemnity or protect you against product
liability.

Chapter 2:
Insurance Industry:Phases from Origin To
GrowthThe evolution of Indian insurance industry has reached a full circle
Insurance Industry: Phases from Origin To Growth
India is witnessing its insurance industry take a full turn, Privatization to
Nationalizations and back to Privatization. The Indian Life Insurance sector,
which was dominated by private players, was nationalized in 1956 and The Life
Insurance Corporation of India was formed. The Non-life insurance business was
nationalized in 1972 under the aegis of General Insurance Corporation, which
established four subsidiaries who would compete among themselves! And now the
government intends to give both the LIC and the GIC some real competition by
privatizing the insurance sector. As the doors are being opened, Insurers
worldwide are spreading wings to have a bite in the vast Indian Insurance pie.
Lets have a tour to the insurance sector from the inception stage to the present
developments and look into the probable future.
Insurance in the modern form originated in the Mediterranean during 13/14th
century. The earliest references to insurance have been found in Babylonia, the
Greeks and the Romans. The use of insurance appeared in the account of North
Italian merchant banks who then dominated the international trade in Europe at that
time. Marine insurance is the oldest form of insurance followed by life insurance
and fire insurance.
14
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
15/58
Life Insurance in India
The early developments of life insurance were closely linked with that of marine
insurance. The first insurers of life were the marine insurance underwriters who
started issuing life insurance policies on the life of master and crew of the ship, and
the merchants. The early insurance contracts took the nature of policies for a short
period only. The underwriters issued annuities and pension for a fixed period or for
life to provide relief to widows on the death of their husbands. The first life
insurance policy was issued on 18th June 1583, on the life of William Gibbons for a
period of 12 months. It was in the eighteenth century, societies began to be formed
for issuing life insurance policies. Among such societies the Amicable Society
(1705), The Equitable Life Assurance Society (1762), the West Minister Society
(1792) was the important societies. The premium rates were varied in view of
reputation and the health condition of the insured.
The British companies started life insurance business in India, by issuing policies
exclusively on the lives of European soldiers and civilians. They sometimes issued
policies on the lives of Indians by charging extra. Different insurance companies
like Bombay Insurance Company LTD. (1793) and Oriental Life Assurance
Company (1818) was formed to issue life assurance policies in India. Gradually,
the first Indian Company named as Bombay Mutual Life Insurance Society Ltd.
was formed in Dec. 1870.
During the period from 1870 to 1900, a large number of Indian companies were
formed under the Indian Companies Act, 1866. The business was confined to few
communities and occupations only. During the period from 1900 to 1912, the
insurance business attracted attention among middle class people. As a result,
Government of India passed the Insurance Act on the model of British Assurance
Act. During the period from 1912-1930, the insurance business witnessed a set
back.
15
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
16/58
After several changes have been made for the period from 1930 to 1938, the
Government of India passed Insurance Act, 1938. The act still applies to all kinds
of insurance business by instituting necessary amendments from time to time.
By 1956, 154 Indian insurers, 16 foreign insurers and 75 provident societies were
carrying on life insurance business in India. At that time life insurance business
was concentrated in urban areas and confined to the higher strata of the society.
January 1956 the management of life insurance business of 245 Indian and foreign
insurers and provident societies were taken over by the central Government with a
capital contribution of Rs.50 mn, and than nationalized on 1 st September 1956 in
the Parliament an Life Insurance Corporation (LIC).
The Indian insurance market was restricted sector. Only two government giants
namely LIC & GIC ruled it till it was set open to the private players.
The Narasimha Rao government unleashed liberal changes in Indias rigid
economic sector. The Rao government appointed a Committee of Reforms in the
Insurance sector in April 1993 under the chairmanship of R.N. Malhotra. The
insurance Regulatory Authority was set up. After over five years Insurance
Regulatory & Development Authority (IRDA) Act, 1999 could be passed by the
Parliament During November 1999. IRDA open its window for Application for
giving new licenses to the prospective players on 16 th August, 2000.

Nationalized Player:
Rescue your dreams
Life Insurance Corporation
Prior to 1956, 154 Indian insurers, 16 foreign insurers and 75
provident societies were carrying on life insurance business in India. At that
time life insurance business was concentrated only in urban areas and
confined to the higher strata of the society. The GOI nationalized these 245
Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies with a capital contribution
of Rs.50 million. And this is a story behind the genies of the Indian Insurance
giant Life Insurance Corporation Of India, which ruled the Indian insurance
sector for almost 50 years.
Life Insurance Corporation ensures and enhances the quality of
life of people through financial security by providing Life Insurance products
and services of high quality, and by providing resources for economic
development.
The objectives of LIC is as follows:
19

Winds of Change:Privatization
Need for privatizationPrerequisites
New Entrants & Likely Players
What privatization will bring with it?
Smell the cheese often so that you can know when it is getting old.
Need for privatization
Liberalistion and reforms have the potential to change the complexion
of an industry. The Indian insurance is no exception. In bid to make it more
effective, the government has opened up insurance sector for private players.
Let us see rationale for opening up an insurance sector in India.
Untapped Potential
Life Insurance: India has an amorphous middle-class of about 300 million
people who can afford to buy life, health, and disability and pension plan
products. Out of this only 20% have insurance -and that too covers only 25%of their needs and financial capacity. The remaining 80% have no insurance
cover. The life insurance market of India, therefore, is practically untapped.
The low level of penetration of life insurance in India compared to other
developed nations can be judged by a comparison of per capita life premium.
21

India
Clearly, there is considerable scope to raise per capita life premium if the
market is effectively tapped. With an insurable population of 300 million, per
capita life premium can be raised to a level of US $ 200 - $300 and hence the
market can expand by 50 to 75 times over the existing size through the
extensive and efficient reach to this untapped area by private players. The
insurance business in India is pegged at $6.6 billion whereas industry leaders
feel privatization would open up as much as $26 billion.
Motor Insurance: The story of motor insurance is no different. Only about
60% of motor vehicles and only 46% of two wheelers are insured. All these
are sure indicator of the untapped potential in the Indian insurance industry.
22
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
23/58
Untapped Rural Potential: Huge rural segment is another instance of
untapped potential. Rural Indias contribution is just 54.7% of total LIC
policies and 47% of LICs total sum assured during 1998-99. This is when the
rural population constitutes 74.3% of countrys population.
Growing Need For insurance:
In India, insurance is traditionally considered as an instrument of savings. The
potential of insurance products as riskcompensators has always been
underemphasized.
According to finding of an LIC survey as many as 40% of insurance buyers
consider insurance products avenue for compulsory savings. Only 26% seeinsurance as old age pension while just about 18% consider insurance a
provision for risk and uncertainties.
This trend is in for a change soon. Now customers prefer more options. They
want not just basic insurance products but investment based insurance products,
pension products and health care products as well. Factors such as increasing
life expectancy, disintegration of the traditional joint family system and rising
cost of health care are bound to make market clamour for variety of insurance
products with need based features. Life expectancy, which was just 32 years
during fifties moved up to an average of 61 years during 1996-97. The result: a
long retired life. Naturally, there is an increasing need for pension insurance
products.
Poor Customer Service:
Most agents and Business development officers are interested only in
procuring new business. Servicing existing customers satisfactorily has not been
a priority for them. The reason could be incentives are based on new business
generation and not in satisfactory servicing of existing customers. Moreover
LIC and GIC have no tied agents.
23
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
24/58
Even Existing agents are not buyer-friendly. They are always desperate to fulfill
their quotas of business and have little time to explain policy features to
prospective customers. More than 10% of LIC policies are surrendered or get
elapsed every year. Privatization will create competitive environment and
provide customer friendly services.
High Premium: There are host of factorsthat have caused insurance potential
to remain untapped. High insurance premium is one of them. Indian insurance
companies are too slow in revising their premium. Currently LIC premium are
determined by macro inputs related to the years between 1991 and 1996. The
last time LIC revised its premium, was after a gap of 12 years. Ditto for general
insurance. There is no proper research in clams and this premium are not
scientifically determined.
Low investment yield: Inefficient asset management and low investment yield
are also responsible factors, which drive us towards privatization. On an
average LIC could generate a yield of just 12.37% on its investment during
1997-98. During 1998-99 the figure was still lower at 11.96%.Investment restrictions have been responsible for low yields. LIC has to invest
not less than 20% of its fund in central govt. securities, a minimum of 5% in the
national Housing bank, not less than 25% in the state govt. securities including
govt.-guaranteed marketable securities, and a minimum of 25% in the social
sector. The remaining 25% can be invested in private sector and in loans to
policyholders.
GIC has its own restrictions in investment. It has to invest a minimum of 25% incentral govt. securities; a minimum of 10% in state govt. and PSU securities, a
minimum of 35% in loans to state govt., HUDCO and DDA, for housing
projects and the remaining 30% can be invested in equities, term loan and
debentures.
No doubt, investment restrictions are there. But, LIC and GIC can enhance
investment yields within the ambit o these restrictions by being more proactive
24
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
25/58
in managing their investment. What they do is invest and then sit back. They do
not trade in the securities they have invested in.
To summarize we can say that,
Insurance penetration is low.
Insurance awareness is low.
Insurance covers are expensive.
Returns from insurance products are low.
Marketing network is weak.
Training of agents is woefully inadequate.
Insurance products offered by public players are not customer
friendly. They create products and go out to find customers. They do not create
products that the market wants. There is dearth of innovative and buyer friendly
products
Opening of Indian insurance sector promises a drop in premium, improved
Services, development of need based product and deeper penetration of insurance.
Prerequisites For Entering into
insurance
Any private player wants to enter insurance sector has to comply with the following
requirement without which it will not be considered eligible for obtaining license.
25
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
26/58
Minimum capita requirements:
The private sector is allowed to enter insurance industry. The minimum paid-up
capital for new entrants is mentioned below.
Minimum paid-up capital for life and non-life insurance companies of Rs 1billion
Minimum paid up capital for reinsurance companies is Rs 2 billion.
Share Holding:
The promoters' holding in private insurance company should not exceed
40% and should, at no time, be less than 26% of the total paid-up capital.
No person other than the promoters should be allowed to hold more than 1%
of the equity.
Entry of Foreign Players:
If and when entry of foreign insurance companies is permitted, they have to
enter the market by way of joint venture with Indian partners.
Equity Participation for Joint Venture:
It is proposed that in the private insurance joint venture, the Indian promoterwill come to hold 74 per cent stake in the venture initially, leaving the foreign
partner with 26 per cent. It is also proposed that the Indian promoter will have
to mandatory lower its stake in the private insurance firm from the initial 74 per
cent to 26 per cent in a period of ten years.
Minimum Rural Business:
New entrants in life insurance should be required to transact a certain
minimum business in rural areas. It should be ensured that such insurers do
not avoid writing small policies.
Similarly, new general insurers should also write a certain minimum rural
non-traditional business.
26
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
27/58
Those who fail to comply with these stipulations should be subject to a penal
assessment by the Insurance Regulatory Authority.
Requirements for Financial Institutions
The RBI has stipulated that a minimum of 15% of Capital Adequacy Ratio
for FI to enter in insurance sector.
The NPA should not be more than 5% of the total out standing and advances
of the institutions.
Private Players in the Market
Following the entry of new private players back in the early 21st century, virtually
every man, woman and child in the country know the importance of insurance and
total risk protection. The new entrants into the Indian insurance sector are able to
press upon the eminent need for individuals to buy insurance. Facilitating the
customer has been their motto and this has been reflected in the product features,
service and means of collecting premiums. Walk into any super market, Bank post

office, ATM, Internet Kiosk, or departmental store today, insurance is the highest
selling product.
The Private players are confident that they will be able to make inroads into this
segment on the basis of better services, returns and tailor made insurance schemes.
The result is newer products in the form of better services for customers. In course
of time, plain vanilla policies offering the standard coverage will give way to a
varied range of polices, tailored to suit different needs and situations. After all, it is
the servicing of a product that distinguishes an insurance company. New players
are offering flexibility to the customers in terms of the choice of features instead of
the standard policies.
Thus the life insurance and General insurance monopoly enjoyed by the public
sector is being challenged now.
A joint venture between ICICI, one of Indias leading financial institutions
and PRUDENTIAL, one of the worlds largest life insurance companies.
Today ICICI Prudential is the leading private life insurance company in
India.

What privatization will bring with it?
38
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
39/58
The insurance industry is a key component of the financial infrastructure of
any economy. Opening up of insurance sector is an attempt to make the insurance
sector more dynamic. Post opening of the insurance sector in India, competition
will cause the market to grow beyond the current rates, creating a bigger pie and
will offer additional consumer choices through the introduction of new products,
services and price options. While competition in insurance is one aspect of the post
liberalization scenario, the other aspect would be the public and private sector
companies working together to ensure the healthy growth and development of the
sector.
Let us glance through what impacts privatization will have on Indian Insurance
Sector.
Market penetration through increasing awareness
LIC was having about 80 products to offer but investors knew about only a
handful. Companies offering general insurance products like medical,
housing, motor and industrial insurance were having more than 150 products to
sell but the awareness was even less than LIC products. Till now public
insurance had failed to educate the customers about the products, and agents
had little incentives to market them aggressively as they had very low
commission.
But now, sector has been opened up for private and foreign players. These
deep pocket players have extensively launched advertisement and promotional
campaign. It has resulted into hype and awareness about insurance products
and ultimately turned into increase sales of insurance policies.
Rural Market Penetration
A large segment of rural incomes are not reflected in the growth of insurance
premium, as there is no marketing of products to this segment. After
liberalization of insurance sector, it has been made mandatory that new entrants
39
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
40/58
in life insurance should be required to transact a certain minimum business in
rural areas. It will be ensured that such insurers do not avoid writing small
policies. Similarly, new general insurers should also write a certain minimum
rural non-traditional business. It will help to cover rural untapped market.
Distribution channels
Insurance companies will also get savvy in distribution. Enhanced marketing
thus will be crucial. Already many companies have full operation capabilities
over a 12-hour period. Facilities such as customer service center are already into
24-hour mode. It has helped distribution network became efficient.
Premium as a % of GDP will increase.
India has traditionally been a highly savings oriented country - often described
as being on par with the thrifty Japan. If the insurance market is properly tapped,
it is possible to raise life premium as a percentage of GDP from the existing
level of 1.29% to 10% - on par with Japan. This will bring an eight-fold increase
in the existing volume of life premium.
Premium as a % of GDS will increase.
Life premium as a percentage of GDS (gross domestic saving) is very low in
India as the following comparative data adequately demonstrates.
Country Life Premium as % of GDS in 1994UK 52.50
S. Africa 51.55
Japan 32.46
France 26.20
US 25.20
S. Korea 21.92
India 5.95

It is possible to raise life premium as a percentage of GDS in India from
the existing levels. Entry of players will be able to effectively exploit the
potential by creating and marketing attractive insurance products with high rates
of return on premium investments. This would help deepen the market as the
same family could opt for different schemes catering to different needs.
Fetch Foreign Investment
As the Government has opened up doors for foreign players in Insurance
sector, insurers worldwide are spreading wings to have a bite in the vast and
untapped Indian Insurance pie. Foreign investors through joint venture with
Indian partners can invest up to 26% of total paid up capital. It had givenpositive signals to foreign investors and huge funds can be garnered after
liberalization of insurance sector. It will help the country to accomplish it dire
need of long-term funds for investment in infrastructure, information
technology and other sectors,
Development of Innovative and Need based products.
41
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
42/58
The customer wants insurance products with need-based features. Apart
from the plain vanilla policies, new entrants will also offer consumers a choice
of products with low premiums. The customers will get insurance products that
suit their specific needs. Insurance companies will introduce more term policies.
These policies provide protection for a specified time period, and do not offer
any returns. These will cover simple requirements of the insurance for the
investor. In effect term policies translates into low premium outgo, which frees
the capital for investment into other investment vehicles, which offer better
returns.
Apart from term policies, Endowment policies will change too. The
insurer, in line with his precise risk appetite, will be able to invest in a variety ofindices or sector specific where in the returns would be higher. Instead of
current fixed returns schemes insurance companies will issue unit linked
schemes, indexed funds, or even real estate funds. Another opportunity is
offered by a pension contract. Here the options offered could be indexed
annuity, immediate annuity or a deferred annuity. The scope of new products is
also immense in the non-life segment. Companies would offer products for
niche segment, like disability products, workers compensation insurance,
renter's coverage and employment practices liability insurance.
Competition will bring quality of service
In the insurance sector, entry of technology and high competition imposed by
private players has given a different dimension to industry. LIC and GIC are
going to face a tough competition.All this will eventually increase the comfort
levels of the consumer vis--vis insurance. Long relegated to being sellersmarket the insurance sector will be driven by buyers and the greater flexibility
and options that lie in store will encourage the investor to plan for the rainy
days.
Reliable customer services through trained life advisors
42
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
43/58
Prior to liberalization, Life and General Insurance agents were not required to
possess minimum qualification in terms of insurance knowledge. Now it has
been made mandatory to take insurance training of at least 100 hours to be an
agent. Thus these trained agents would help and advise the customers to provide
them suitable option to their requirement and need.
To summarize we can say that entry of private players are likely to bring
following changes.
Insurance products to suit specific needs of customers will be available.
Customization of products will be more common.
Commoditiser insurance products will be just a phone call away.
Computerizations will reduce administrative expenses.
Distribution channels will become more effective.
Premium will be market driven and will be based on records of past
claim.
Settlement of claim will be accurate and faster.
Premiums will deep and service standard will improve.
Proactive asset fund management will emerge. This should result in better
yield for the private players.
It will also bring updated technology, efficient management and a healthy
business culture.

Tough Times never last but tough people do.
Comparative Analysis: Private Players Vs Nationalized Players
This project cannot serve its purpose without a comparison between the long
existing public players and the newly entered private players. We need to compare
them in terms of what they have, how they are going to deliver it. Thus we have
compared nationalized players with new entrant on following ground.
Product Comparison
Capital Investment
Branch Network
Distribution Network
Number of policies sold and premium collected.
Product Comparison:
From the inception to its liberalization and entrance of new players, there have been
winds of change in the various products of insurance sector.
Challenges Faced by Nationalized Player:
44
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
45/58
The stage has been set for a major transformation in Indian insurance sector with
the entry of private players in the market. Monopoly enjoyed by nationalized
players is being challenged. Whether two giants accept or do not accept, entry of
private players has threatened their position. We have tried to work out challenges
faced by public players, which has put raised question of their performance in
changing situation.
Challenges Imposed from private insurance companies
Synergy of Experience in Joint Venture:
Indian partner and foreign partner of each joint venture is leader in their respective
field. If we look at ICICI prudential, it is a joint venture between ICICI and Prudential
Plc. ICICI is amongst Indias largest financial institution and has been providing all
services under one roof. While Prudential Plc. is also one of the largest financial
services provider of insurance, banking and other financial services. It has strong
presence in at least 15 countries.
Presence In Indian Financial System:
In most of the cases, the Indian Counter-party of the joint venture is engaged in
customer services and that too in financial sector. Hence, they are fully aware
off the Indian Financial System. Example of it could be SBI, Vyasa bank, Kotak
Mahindra, HDFC, and ICICI etc.
Distribution Network:
Each of private players has their own distribution channels and has strong hold
over it. Starting in 1806, over the years SBI has extended its branch network to
14000 across the India. It can capitalize its existing resources and distribution
network to penetrate the market further.
Trust of the People:
45
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
46/58
Being Market leader in respective field and having good financial image might
not create problem of gaining trust of people. Players like SBI, ICICI, Aditya
Birla group, Reliance have been in existence for quite long period. Not only
these but new generation organizations like Kotak, HDFC and Max India have
also been able to get trust and confidence of people.
Experience of operation in foreign Market:
In most of joint venture, foreign partners have presence in insurance sector,
thus venture will get benefit of international experience in financial and
insurance market of their oversees partners. Not only this, but latest Marketing,
information and Mechanical technology can be availed.
Synergy with the existing operations
Since, players are starting operations afresh, they still have an upper hand in
arranging their infrastructure in such a way that they can reduce fixed expenses
and can provide better services.
Apart firm this there are certain other challenges which could be described
as follows
Low Rate of Return resulting into unviable products
The LIC interest bearing schemes give interest of 9 to 10%. Today, where the
interest of even RBI bonds are in the range of 9%. Thus their investment is
bearing lower return than their interest payment resulting into negative spread.
These schemes have become unviable.
Agents Capabilities and Competence
Indian insurance companies are marketing their products in traditional way
through agents. Agent force is not qualified and equipped with latest
46
7/28/2019 summer project report.doc
47/58
technology. Moreover marketing in the new environment shall be a war of
information and those will be successful, who has complete knowledge of the
products. So training and education of the agents shall be equally necessary as
recruitment of qualified agents
With these challenges in mind, we can look at SWOT of public insurance
companies
SWOT Analysis
Public players
Strengths
Established Organizational Network of Offices all over India and in all corners,
which shall save huge cost of creating infrastructure. LIC has more than 2000
branches where as general insurance companies have more than 4000
companies all over India.
Strong Financial Position. Total asset of LIC is Rs.160935.76 crores and a
consolidated total asset of GIC is Rs. 48294 mln.

Weaknesses
Low level of commitment towards customer services
Stringent Rules and Regulation
Low Flexibility in Products

Opportunities
Increasing awareness has helped increase sales of LIC polices after privatization
Exploring New Distribution channel
Turn towards Professionalism
Diversification to other financial services like pension fund, retailing

Conclusion
It is just the beginning
Over the years, insurance has acquired various names and definitions. This
social device provides financial compensation for misfortunes and securities to
masses. Over the years, insurance sector is growing by leaps and bounds. Globally,
its growing by approximately 4% every year, with Japan in the highest position.

3) Personnel care
4) Better service & grievance handling.
But the fear of security still looms large among the customer for the private
sectors. The private sector, though being new is becoming talk of the town &
very soon it may capture a sizeable segment to boast of. On the other hand the
nationalized companies, which still have a firm hold on the market can retain their
position if they try to learn from their past flaws.
Lastly, the insurance industry is a service sector, which contribute nearly
50% to our GDP, so it becomes mandatory for the companies (both nationalized &
private) to see that customers dont suffer at the end of the day & that their productbenefits their lives.
