On account of intense marketing strategies adopted by private insurance players, the market share of state owned insurance companies like GIC, LIC and others have come down to 70% in last 4-5 years from over 97%. The private insurance players despite the sector is still regulated has been offering rate of return (R o R) to its policy holders which is estimated at about 35% as against20% of domestic insurance companies. LIC and GIC have limited number of policies to offer to their subscribers Private insurance companies offer many policies and the premium amount as well as the maturity period is much competitive as against those of government insurance companies. The private sector insurance players have started exploring the rural markets in which until recently, the state owned companies had the monopoly. Indias life insurance premium, as a percentage of GDP is 1.8% Future Of Sector *Indian insurance sector is likely to register unprecedented growth of 200% and attain a size of Rs. 2000 billion by 2009-10 *A private sector insurance business will achieve a growth rate of 140% as a result of 15. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 15 | P a g e aggressive marketing technique being adopted by them against 35-40% growth rate of state owned insurance companies. *In rural markets, the share of private insurance players would increase substantially as these have been able to generate a faith among their rural consumers.

FOUNDER OF RELIANCE Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their countrys economic fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Shri. 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 ` 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted this fledgling enterprise into a ` 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. 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 19. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 19 | P a g e 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. HISTORY Reliance Capital Limited announced the launch of its life insurance business on February 1, 2006. This was after obtaining the required regulatory approvals from the Registrar Of Companies and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority.

Each premium paid by the insured person is split: a part is used to provide life assurance cover, while the balance (after the deduction of costs, expenses, etc.) is used to buy units in a unit trust. In this way, a small investor can benefit from investment in a managed fund without making a large financial commitment. As they are linked to the value of shares, unit linked policies can go up or down in value. Policyholders can surrender the policy at any time and the surrender value is the selling price of the units purchased by the date of cancellation 9less expense). A small part of the contribution is used for providing life cover and the balance is invested in unit. Legal heirs are entitled to the amount of insurance cover and entitled units in case of death of the insured.

LIFE INSURANCE SCRIPT IN RELIANCE LIFE PLAZA Life insurance script in life plaza details in the following process:-- How to start? Good Morning Sir/Madam, I am ___________ (Name), from Reliance Life Insurance Co Ltd., and I am currently working as a ... I help people in analyzing their present financial 35. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 35 | P a g e condition and how they may further be benefited in building a financially secured future. As discussed earlier with you, all we will need is half an hour of your valuable time. I assure you that you will not be under obligation to buy. Let us consider a situation, where the clients age is 35 years, his spouse is aged 32 years and they have a child aged 2 Years. With your kind permission, I will like to know about some of your details about you and your family members, which will help us to do the right analysis and find appropriate solution for you. I assure you, these details will be kept strictly confidential and under no circumstances be shared with anyone else. And at the end of the discussion I will leave the paper with you. Before I start, I just wanted to tell you that it would have been better if bhabhi ji also joins us in this discussion. Step 1: Seeking Information Mr. Rakesh, I would like to know your current age. 35 Years I would like to know whether you are married. Yes If Response if Yes: If you dont mind, may I know madams Name and Age. Sweta Sharma, 32 Years (If Married), Do you have any children ? Yes, I have a daughter If Response if Yes: If you dont mind, I will also like to know the sweet little ones name and age. 36. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 36 | P a g e Sanjana Sharma, 2 Years Apart from this, do you have any other dependants? Yes, my parents If you dont mind, may I ask about your current occupation and for how long are you involved in it? Where did you start first? At the Age of 25 years, in Delhi How long do you intend to keep earning from your current occupation? In other words, by what age you plan to take off from your occupation and enjoy your life Till 60 years If I have understood you correctly, you are currently 35 years of age, with a family comprising of your wife, aged 32 years and a children aged 2 years respectively. Name: Rakesh Sharma Age: 35 Years Wife: Sweta Sharma Age: 32 Years Daughter: Sanjana Sharma Age: 02 Years Step 2: Need Identification As you have told me that you started your earning at the age of 25 years. And you wish to continue till the age of 60 years. I would also like to inform you that As per World Health Organization (WHO) report, the current Average Indian Male will go on to live till 75 years and the Average Indian Female will live 5 years more than their male counterpart i.e. 80 years. Though I wish that you live more than 100 years. Sir, can you pls tell me what is your monthly expenses currently including house rent, food, child education, medical expenses, transportation, etc. i.e. the cost to 37. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 37 | P a g e maintain your family as of now?. Approx. Rs. 20000 Consider if you maintain the same life style and family 25 years back say in late 80s or early 90s, your expense would have been same or different? Different. Approx Rs. 2000 An increase of 10 Times. Am I correct sir? Correct me if I am wrong, as you had shared with me earlier , that you intend to take off from your work at the age of 60 years. Considering that inflation and other environmental factors etc. what would be your monthly expense when you attain the age of 60 i.e. 25 years from now to maintain your family? Will it increase @ 10 times or more? I think it will go up to Rs. 100000 / month So total expense for a year = 100000X12= 1200000 i.e. 12 Lacs You will continue without income from 60 to 75 years i.e. around 15 years. So you will require 1200000X15 = 18000000 i.e. 1.8 Cr Since you have started earning very early, I am very sure that you would have saved for your old age. Can I know the approx value of your savings for old age as on date? Rs. 1000000 i.e. 10 Lacs As we have seen that your expense went up, in the same way value of your saving will also go up in next 25 years. Can I know the approx value of your saving at the age of 60. Rs. 8000000 i.e. 80 lacs So you will still require 18000000-8000000= 10000000 i.e. 1 Cr. for your old age. Have you ever thought of it sir? 38. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 38 | P a g e Step 3: Creating Urgency Lets assume that you are at the age 60 and I tell you about your requirement of Rs. 1 crore at that point. Can you tell me about any investment avenue which can give you a return of Rs.1 crore in such a short span of time. I dont think there is any! But if you start provisioning for it at the age of 55 years, will it be easier for you or not? Sure Same thing if you start at the age of 45 years, will it be little easier or not? Yes, easier Which one will be the most easiest for you? If you start at the age of 35 i.e. now or after it? At the age of 35. That is what I was trying to convey you. There are so many ways in which you can provision for it. You can invest in 39. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 39 | P a g e Bank, Share Market, Real estate, Gold etc. But I can tell you about an avenue of investment which will cover your risk, will be easier , will be cheap and is available for you if you wish to start provisioning now. And that is INSURANCE Once you start provisioning for it, the whole amount of 1 crore will be set aside by insurance company for your family. You will be paying premium for it in bit and pieces and not at once, which will be easier for you. If you start now, the premium will be the lowest otherwise as your age increases, premium will also increase. Now because you are healthy, any insurance company will be willing to make provision for your corpus of Rs. 1 crore. And as you know any one can catch illness in this changing environment. Once anyone becomes ill, no insurance company would like to bear his / her risk. In todays world where there is no certainty of life, only insurance ascertain you that the corpus which you wish to built will reach to you or your family whatever the circumstances may be. 40. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 40 | P a g e Step 4: Proposing a Solution As per the risk appetite and saving capacity of the customer, a solution can be proposed. If customer wants to take risk on his investment to create the corpus for his old age, then we can suggest him Unit Linked Insurance product. In ULIPs, customer may get a return of 12-15% on his investment in long run (As per the past history of share market). Investment risk in market linked product is borne by the policyholder. And if the customer does not want to take risk and wants guaranteed return on his investment, then Traditional insurance products can be offered. In traditional products, customer will get a return in the range of 6-10% in long run. Investment risk in traditional product is borne by insurer. It is very much possible that customer may not be able to pay the premium required for building a corpus of 1 crore at this point of time. His current income may not permit it. But he can always start with a small corpus of let us say 10-20 lacs with his present disposable income. And as and when his income grows, rest of the corpus 41. Reliance Life Insurance A Reliance Capital Company 41 | P a g e can be taken care of. Taking a small step towards building the corpus for old age and then achieving it in phase by phase makes it easier to achieve . A.4> ABOUT PROJECT The project deals with the topic ULIP(Reliance classic plan-II):Breaking the myth and repositioning as a product of choice. The project would also help in understanding preference of people regarding private and public insurance companies. The entry of foreign MNCs and the conductive business environment fostered by the government, it is no wonder that the re-entry of private insurance has marked a second coming for the sector. In just five years, the sector has undergone a makeover, offering more choice, better services, quicker settlement, tighter regulation and greater awareness s the environment become more and more competitive and services and products become alike, creating a differentiation is becoming extremely tough. Thus, the main objective of my project was to find out the preference of people regarding insurance companies, which would help R.L.I. employees to market their product. The study then goes on to evaluate and analyze the findings so as to present a clear picture of recent trends in the Insurance sector. 42.
