Executive Summary
The service industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in India
today. The upcoming sectors which are really showing the graph
towards upwards are - Telecom, Banking, and Insurance. These
sectors really have a lot of responsibility towards the economy.
Amongst the above-mentioned areas insurance is one sector, which
took a lot of time in positioning itself. The insurance business of
non-life companies was not much in problems but the major
problem was with life insurance. Life Insurance Corporation of
India had monopoly for more than 45 years, but the picture then
was completely different. Previously people felt that Insurance is
only for classes not for masses but now the picture is vice-versa.
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
Uploaded for projectsparadise.com
10
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 these companies were not insuring
Indian natives. 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, insurance companies came into
existence to carry the message of insurance and social security
through insurance to various sectors of society. 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. In 1907, Hindustan
Uploaded for projectsparadise.com
11
Co-operative Insurance Company took its birth in one of the rooms
of the J orasanko, 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 many accounts, putting the Indian
companies at a disadvantage.
The formation of IRDA, entrance of private life insurance
companies into India with one foreign partner, compulsory training
of Insurance agents etc. developments started to take place. And
this was the time when these companies started searching for
proper channel partners who can help the organization in
expanding its network and business in India.
Channel partners are those who are going to be into direct selling
of companys products i.e. the insurance policies. They are the link
Uploaded for projectsparadise.com

between the customers and the management or company. These
channel partners are people with different profiles. They are
selected on some grounds like their network of people, their
problem handling ability, convincing power and lot many things.
The main idea behind companys Questionnaire Survey is to find
out and analyze the proper profile that can be recruited by
company as a channel partner. Company has been focusing on
some of the profile that can be very beneficial for the company.
For example Chartered Accountants, Tax Consultants, Postal
agents, Banks Daily Collection Agents etc. the main idea behind
targeting the above profile is strong client network which is really
very important for an insurance company.
The project title is Potential of Life Insurance
Industry in Surat Market. This shows the scope for private
insurance companies have great opportunities to cover the market
and can insure the customer. With the initiation of the deregulation
in the Indian insurance market, the monopoly of big public sector
companies in life insurance market has been broken. New private
players have entered the market and with their innovative
approaches and better use of distribution channels and technology,
they are eating in to the shares of established public sector
Uploaded for projectsparadise.com
13
companies in Indian Insurance Market. Since the deregulation has
been put in to place, the market share of LIC has come down to
71.4% in life insurance market while the private players have
captured around 17% market in the general insurance segment.
This report includes the key private players in the insurance market
such as ICICI Prudential, Kotak Life Insurance Bajaj Allianz, Birla
Sun life, and TATA AIG. It also includes the leading competitors
in the life insurance and general insurance segments along with
their market shares.

5: Limitation:
Some of the difficulties and limitations faced by me
during my training are as follows:
Lack of awareness among the people This is the biggest
limitation found in this sector. Most of the people are not
aware about the importance and the necessity of the
insurance in their life. They are not aware how useful life
insurance can be for their family members if something
happens to them.
Perception of the people towards Insurance sector
People still consider insurance just as a Tax saving device. So
today also there is always a rush to buy an Insurance Policy only
at the end of the financial year like J anuary, February and March
making the other 9 months dry for this business.
Insurance does not give good returns Still today people
think that Insurance does not give good returns. They are not
aware of the modern Unit Linked Insurance Plans which are
offered by most of the Private sector players. They are still under
the perception that if they take Insurance they will get only 5-6%
Uploaded for projectsparadise.com
18
returns which is not true nowadays. Nowadays most of the
modern Unit Linked Insurance Plans gives returns which are
many times more than that of bank Fixed deposits, National
saving certificate, Post office deposits and Public provident fund.
Lack of awareness about the earning opportunity in the
Insurance sector People still today are not aware about the
earning opportunity that the Insurance sector gives. After the
privatization of the insurance sector many private giants have
entered the insurance sector. These private companies in order to
beat the competition and to increase their Insurance Advisors to
increase their reach to the customers are giving very high
commission rates but people are not aware of that.
Increased competition Today the competition in the
Insurance sector has became very stiff. Currently there are 14
Life Insurance companies working in India including the LIC
(life insurance Corporation of India). Today each and every
company is trying to increase their Insurance Advisors so that
they can increase their reach in the market. This situation has
created a scenario in which to recruit Life insurance Advisors and
to sell life Insurance Policy has became very very difficult.

RESEARCH METODOLOGY

feasible from the point of view of our subject & survey purpose.

Brief History of the Insurance Sector in
India
The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started
in India in the year 1818 with the establishment of the Oriental
Life Insurance Company in Calcutta.
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.

the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by

period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs

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, insurance companies came into
existence to carry the message of insurance and social security
through insurance to various sectors of society. 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. In 1907, Hindustan
Co-operative Insurance Company took its birth in one of the rooms
of the J orasanko, house of the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, in
Calcutta. The Indian Mercantile, General Assurance and Swadeshi

premium rate tables and periodical valuations of companies should

be certified by an actuary. But the Act discriminated between
foreign and Indian companies on many 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. However, it was
much later on the 19th of J anuary 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 was accomplished 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 a comprehensive bill. The Parliament of India passed the Life
Uploaded for projectsparadise.com
27
Insurance Corporation Act on the 19th of J une 1956, and the Life
Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st September,
1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance much more
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 had 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 a 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.

28
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 some Banks 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 SATELLITE 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.
From then to now, LIC has crossed many milestones and has set
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.

Some of the important milestones in the life
insurance business in India are:
1850Non life insurance debuts with triton insurance company.
1870Bombay mutual life assurance society is the first Indian
owned life insurer
1912The 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.
1956245 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 Company Ltd., the first
general insurance company 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.
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 J anuary 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.
Insurance sector reforms
Uploaded for projectsparadise.com
31
In 1993, Malhotra Committee, headed by former Finance Secretary
and RBI Governor R. N. Malhotra, was formed to evaluate the
Indian insurance industry and recommend its future direction.

The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of
complementing the reforms initiated in the financial sector. The
reforms were aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive
financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy
keeping in mind the structural changes currently underway and
recognizing that insurance is an important part of the overall
financial system where it was necessary to address the need for
similar reforms In 1994, the committee submitted the report
and some of the key recommendations included.
1997 Insurance regulator IRDA set up
2000 IRDA starts giving licenses to private insurers: Kotak
Life Insurance ICICI prudential and HDFC Standard Life
insurance first private insurers to sell a policy
2001 Royal Sundaram Alliance first non life insurer to sell

The Insurance Regulatory and Development
Authority (IRDA)
The Insurance Act, 1938 had provided for setting up of the
Controller of Insurance to act as a strong and powerful supervisory
and regulatory authority for insurance. Post nationalization, the
role of Controller of Insurance diminished considerably in
significance since the Government owned the insurance
companies.

But the scenario changed with the private and foreign companies
foraying in to the insurance sector. This necessitated the need for a
strong, independent and autonomous Insurance Regulatory
Authority was felt. As the enacting of legislation would have taken
time, the then Government constituted through a Government
resolution an Interim Insurance Regulatory Authority pending the
enactment of a comprehensive legislation.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 is
an act to provide for the establishment of an Authority to protect
the interests of holders of insurance policies, to regulate, promote
and ensure orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters
connected therewith or incidental thereto and further to amend the
Uploaded for projectsparadise.com
33
Insurance Act, 1938, the Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956 and
the General insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 to end
the monopoly of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (for life
insurance business) and General Insurance Corporation and its
subsidiaries (for general insurance business).

The act extends to the whole of India and will come into force on
such date as the Central Government may, by notification in the
Official Gazette specify. Different dates may be appointed for
different provisions of this Act.

The Act has defined certain terms; some of the most important
ones are as follows

appointed day means the date on which the Authority is established
under the act. Authority means the established under this Act.
Interim Insurance Regulatory Authority means the Insurance
Regulatory Authority set up by the Central Government through
Resolution No. 17(2)/ 94-lns-V dated the 23rd J anuary, 1996.

Words and expressions used and not defined in this Act but

(Nationalization) Act, 1972 shall have the meanings respectively
assigned to them in those Acts

A new definition of "Indian Insurance Company" has been
inserted. "Indian insurance company" means any insurer being a
company (a) which is formed and registered under the Companies
Act, 1956
(b) in which the aggregate holdings of equity shares by a foreign
company, either by itself or through its subsidiary companies or its
nominees, do not exceed twenty-six per cent. Paid up capital in
such Indian insurance company (c) whose sole purpose is to carry
on life insurance business, general insurance business or re-
