Preface
There is a large gap between theoretically and practical knowledge about handling and
managing a business. Only book’s knowledge can’t help in building up an effective

power is going high and your weakness going lesser that’s by one year experience is superior
to ten year study.
According to its compulsory for every students of MBA- Sem IV to take training under any
enterprise of the industry for 15 days, to get information, knowledge and practical learning
about specific specialized field and of industry at all. I have prepared this report after taking
training entitled in “A Study on Products of Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance".

In my training Period, I have focused mainly on two products of Bajaj Allianz Life
In this product, the minimum premium which is to be paid by the customer is Rs.5000. The
maximum premium for this product is Rs.10000.The policy term is 10 years. The Sum Assured
is Rs. 50000 or the Fund Value which ever is higher. It is a unit linked plan and the Lock-in
period is 3 years. After 3 years the customer can withdraw 75% or whole amount but surrender
charges will be taken. After 5 years no surrender charges will be charged. In this product
customer has the facility of getting a premium holiday for 2 years after 3 years have been
completed and if he withdraws after 5 years he will get Rs. 30000.The customer will get benefit
of Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of Income tax. Under Section 80 C the customer will get
Tax rebate and under Section 10(10D) he will get tax free maturity gains.

NEW UNIT GAIN
In this product, the minimum premium which is to be paid by the customer is Rs.10000.The
maximum premium for this product has no limit. The policy term is 10 years. The Sum Assured
is 5 times the premium amount or the Fund Value which ever is higher .It is a unit linked plan
and the Lock-in period is 3 years. After 3 years the customer can withdraw 75% or whole
amount but surrender charges will be taken. After 5 years there are no surrender charges.
In this product customer has the facility of getting a premium holiday for 2 years after 3
years have been completed and if he withdraws after 5 years he will get Rs. 60000. The
customer will get benefit of Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of Income tax. Under Section 80
C the customer will get Tax rebate and under Section 10(10D) he will get tax free maturity
gains.
This concept tells about value of a human life, particularly when he/she is a earning member of
the family. Suppose a person is 30 years old and has a fixed monthly income of Rs. 10000 and
if retires at the age of 60 then he will earn about 36 lakh in those 30 years. Unfortunately if
he/she dies at the age of 32 his family members will have a financial loss, so to minimize the
loss occurred due to the death of the earning member, one should have insurance of about 36
lakh.

Fixed Deposit compared with Insurance policy
In fixed deposit money is locked in for 5 or more years and in Insurance Policy money is
locked in only for 3 years.
In fixed deposit, at maturity TDS (Tax deduction at source) is deducted but in Insurance policy,
maturity amount is tax free under Section 10(10D).
In fixed deposit the rate of return is about 8-10% but in Insurance policy rate of return is 15%
or more.
In Fixed deposit, no life insurance is given but in Insurance policy life insurance is given.
In the training period, I have tried to inform people about the products of Bajaj Allianz Life
Insurance. I have met different people like:
Salaried people
Businessmen

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY
Insurance may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk of loss to life and
property. Insurance is a collective bearing of risk. Insurance is a financial device to spread the
risks and losses of few people among a large number of people, as people prefer small fixed
liability instead of big, uncertain and changing liability.
Insurance can be defined as a “legal contract between two parties whereby one party called
insurer undertakes to pay a fixed amount of money on the happening of a particular event,
which may be certain or uncertain.” The other party called insured pays in exchange a fixed
sum known as premium.
Insurance is desired to safeguard oneself and one’s family against possible losses on account
of risks and perils. It provides financial compensation for the losses suffered due to the
happening of any unforeseen events.
IMPORTANCE OF INSURANCE
Insurance constitutes one of the major segments of the financial market. Insurance services
play predominant role in the process of financial intermediary. Today insurance industry is one
of the most growing sectors in India. There is lot of potential in the Indian Insurance Industry.
8
There are many issues, which require study. The scope of the study of Insurance industry of
India would be very great as there are ongoing developments in the industry after the opening
of the sector
The major issue right now is the hike in FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) limit from 26% to 49%
in the insurance sector. In near future Government may allow 49% FDI in Insurance. This
would lead to more capital inflow by foreign partners.
Another major issue is the effects on LIC after the entry of private players in the market.
Though market share of LIC has been affected, it has improved in terms of efficiency.
There are number of other hot topics like penetration of Health Insurance, Rural marketing of
insurance, new distribution channels, new product ranges, insurance brokers’ regulation,
incentive scheme of development officers of LIC etc. So it offers lot of scope for studying the
insurance industry.
Right now the insurance industry has great opportunities in countries like India or China which
have huge population. Also the penetration of insurance in India is very low in both life and
non-life segment so there is lot potential to be tapped.
Before starting the discussion on insurance industry and related issues, we have to start with
the basics of insurance. So first we understand what is Insurance? How the word ‘insurance’
is different from the word ‘Assurance’? Etc.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INSURANCE AND ASSURANCE
Assurance is older in history and it was used to describe all types of Insurance. From 1826, the
term assurance came to be used only for the risks covered by life insurance and the term
insurance was exclusively used to denote the risks covered by marine, fire, etc.
The word assurance indicated certainty. In life insurance, there is an assurance from the
insurance company to make payment under the policy either on the maturity or at earlier
death. On the other hand the word insurance was used to denote indemnity type of insurance
where the insurance company was liable to pay only in case of the loss damage the property.
The insured event was bound to happen sooner or later under assurance but the event insured
against may or may not happen under insurance.
The principle of “indemnity” applies to “insurance contracts” (non-life) only. The scope of the
word, insurance is wider.
PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE
The concept of insurance is believed to have emerged almost 4500 years ago in the ancient
land of Babylonia where traders used to bear risk of the carvan by giving loans, which were
later repaid with interest when the goods arrived safely.
The concept of insurance as we know today took shape in 1688 at a place called Lloyd’s
Coffee House in London where risk bearers used to meet to transact business. This coffee
house became so popular that Lloyd’s became the one of the first modern insurance
companies by the end of the eighteenth century.
Marine insurance companies came into existence by the end of the eighteenth century. These
companies were empowered to write fire and life insurance as well as marine. The Great Fire
of London in 1966 caused huge loss of property and life. With a view to providing fire
insurance facilities, Dr. Nicholas Barbon set up in 1967 the first fire insurance company known
as the Fire Office.
11
The early history of insurance in India can be traced back to the Vedas. The Sanskrit term
‘Yogakshema’ (meaning well being), the name of Life Insurance Corporation of India’s
corporate headquarters, is found in the Rig Veda. The Aryans practiced some form of
‘community insurance’ around 1000 BC.
Life insurance in its modern form came to India from England in 1818. The Oriental Life
Insurance Company was the first insurance company to be set up in India to help the widows
of European community. The insurance companies, which came into existence between 1818
and 1869, treated Indian lives as subnormal and charged an extra premium of 15 to 20
percent. The first Indian insurance company, the Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society,
came into existence in 1870 to cover Indian lives at normal rates.
The Insurance Act, 1938, the first comprehensive legislation governing both life and non-life
branches of insurance were enacted to provide strict state control over insurance business.
This amended insurance Act looked into investments, expenditure and management of these
companies.
By the mid- 1950s there were 154 Indian insurers, 16 foreign insurers, and 75 provident
societies carrying on life insurance business in India. Insurance business flourished and so did
scams, irregularities and dubious investment practices by scores of companies. As a result the
government decided to nationalize the life assurance business in India.
The Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was set up in 1956. The nationalization of life
Insurance was followed by general insurance in 1972.
� 1870: Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society is the first India owned life insurer.
12
� 1912: The Indian Life Assurance Company Act enacted to regulate the life insurance
business.
� 1956: Nationalization took place. Government took over 245 Indian and foreign insurers
and provident societies.
� 1972: Non-life business nationalized, General Insurance Corporation (GIC) came into
being.
� 1993: Malhotra committee was constituted under the chairmanship of former RBI chief R. N.
Malhotra to draw a blue print for insurance sector reforms.
� 1997: IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority) was set up as a regulator of
the insurance market in India.
� 2000: IRDA started giving license to private insurers. ICICI Prudential, HDFC were first
private players to sell Insurance Policies.
� 2001: Royal Sundaram was the first non-life private player to sell an insurance policy.
� 2002: Bank allowed selling insurance plans as TPAs enter the scene, insurers start setting
non-life claims in the cashless mode.
There are three parties in a life insurance transaction: the insurer, the insured, and the owner
of the policy (policyholder), although the owner and the insured are often the same person.
Another important person involved in a life insurance policy is the Beneficiary. The beneficiary
is the person or persons who will receive the policy proceeds upon the death of the insured.
Life insurance may be divided into two basic classes – term and permanent.
13
• Term life insurance provides for life insurance coverage for aspecified term of years for a
• Permanent life insurance is life insurance that remains in force until the policy matures,
• Whole life insurance provides for a level premium, and a cash value table included in the
policy guaranteed by the company. The primary advantages of whole life are guaranteed death
benefits, guaranteed cash values, fixed and known annual premiums, mortality and expense
charges will not reduce the cash value shown in the policy.
• Universal life insurance (UL) is a relatively new insurance product intended to provide
permanent insurance coverage with greater flexibility in premium payment and the potential for
a higher internal rate of return. A universal life policy includes a cash account. Premiums
increase the cash account. If you want insurance protection only, and not a savings and
investment product, buy a term life insurance policy. If you want to buy a whole life, universal
life, or other cash value policy, plan to hold it for at least 15 years. Canceling these policies
after only a few years can more than double your Life insurance costs.
You need Life Insurance because typically the need for income continues for those who are
financially dependent on you, but there is no guarantee of your ability to earn consistently and
for the rest of your life. Life insurance can help you safeguard the financial needs of your
family.
This need has become even more important due to steady disintegration of the prevalent joint
family system, and emergence of nuclear families. The need to protect your family's ever
growing needs is why you need Life Insurance.
14
Why Do I Need Life Insurance?
That’s a common question. Why would you need Insurance? Simply put, Life brings with it
many surprises, some pleasant and some not so and a Life Insurance Plan ensures that you
are better prepared to face uncertainties. How? In a number of ways:
Protection
You need life insurance to be there and protect the people you love, making sure that your
family has a means to look after itself after you are gone. It is a thoughtful business concept
designed to protect the economic value of a human life for the benefit of those financially
dependent on him. That’s a good reason. Supposing you suffer an injury that keeps you from
earning? Would you like to be a financial burden on your family, already losing out on your
salary? With a life insurance policy, you are protected. Your family is protected.
Retirement
Life insurance makes sure that you have regular income after you retire and also helps you
maintain your standard of living. It can ensure that your post-retirement years are spent in
peace and comfort.
Insurance is a means to Save and Invest. Your periodic premiums are like Savings and you
are assured of a lump sum amount on maturity. A policy can come in really handy at the time
of your child’s education or marriage! Besides, it can be used as supplemental retirement
income!
Tax Benefits
15
Life insurance is one of the best tax saving options today. Your tax can be saved twice on a life
insurance policy-once when you pay your premiums and once when you receive maturity
benefits. Money saved is money earned!
Risk protection has been a primary goal of humans and institutions throughout history.
Protecting against risk is what insurance is all about. Over 5000 years ago, in China, insurance
was seen as a preventative measure against piracy on the sea. Piracy, in fact, was so
prevalent, that as a way of spreading the risk, a number of ships would carry a portion of
another ship's cargo so that if one ship was captured, the entire shipment would not be lost.
In another part of the world, nearly 4,500 years ago, in the ancient land of Babylonia, traders
used to bear risk of the caravan trade by giving loans that had to be later repaid with interest
when the goods arrived safely. In 2100 BC, the Code of Hammurabi granted legal status to the
practice. It formalized concepts of “bottomry” referring to vessel bottoms and “respondent”
referring to cargo. These provided the underpinning for marine insurance contracts. Such
contracts contained three elements: a loan on the vessel, cargo, or freight; an interest rate;
and a surcharge to cover the possibility of loss. In effect, ship owners were the insured and
lenders were the underwriters.
Life insurance came about a little later in ancient Rome, where burial club swere formed to
cover the funeral expenses of its members, as well as help survivors monetarily. With Rome's
fall, around 450 A.D., most of the concepts of insurance were abandoned, but aspects of it did
continue through the Middle Ages, particularly with merchant and artisan guilds. The
seprovided forms of member insurance covering risks like fire, flood, theft, disability, death,
and even imprisonment.
16
During the feudal period, early forms of insurance ebbed with the decline of travel and long-
distance trade. But during the 14th to 16th centuries, transportation, commerce, and insurance
would again reemerge Insurance in India can be traced back to the Vedas. For
instance,Yogakshema, the name of Life Insurance Corporation of India's corporate
headquarters is derived from the Rig Veda. The term suggests that a form of" community
insurance" was prevalent around 1000 BC and practiced by the Aryans And similar to ancient
Rome, burial societies were formed in the Buddhist period to help families build houses, and to
protect widows and children.
Modern Insurance
Illegal almost everywhere else in Europe, life insurance in England was vigorously promoted in
the three decades following the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The type of insurance we see
today owes its roots to 17th century England. Lloyd's of London, or as they were known then,
Lloyd's Coffee House, was the location where merchants, ship owners and underwriters met to
discuss and transact business deals.
While serving as a means of risk-avoidance, life insurance also appealed strongly to the
gambling instincts of England's burgeoning middle class. Gambling was so rampant, in fact,
that when newspapers published names of prominent people who were seriously ill, bets were
placed at Lloyd’s on their anticipated dates of death. Reacting against such practices, 79
merchant underwriters broke away in 1769 and two years later formed a “New Lloyd’s Coffee
House” that became known as the “real Lloyd’s.” Making wagers on people's deaths ceased in
1774 when parliament forbade the practice.
Insurance Moves to America
The U.S. insurance industry was built on the British model. The year 1735 saw the birth of the
first insurance company in the American colonies in Charleston, SC. The Presbyterian Synod
of Philadelphia in 1759, sponsored the first life insurance corporation in America for the benefit
of ministers and their dependents. And the first life insurance policy for the general public in
the United States was issued, in Philadelphia, on May 22, 1761. But it wasn't until 80 years
later (after 1840), that life insurance really took off in a big way. The key to its success was
reducing the opposition from religious groups.
17
In 1835, the infamous New York fire drew people's attention to the need to provide for sudden
and large losses. Two years later, Massachusetts became the first state to require companies
by law to maintain such reserves. The great Chicago fire of 1871 further emphasized how fires
can cause huge losses in densely populated modern cities. The practice of reinsurance,
wherein the risks are spread among several companies, was devised specifically for such
situations.
With the creation of the automobile, public liability insurance, which first made its appearance
in the 1880s, gained importance and acceptance? More advancement was made to insurance
during the process of industrialization. In 1897, the British government passed the Workmen's
Compensation Act, which made it mandatory for a company to insure its employees against
industrial accidents.
During the 19th century, many societies were founded to insure the life and health of their
members, while fraternal orders provided low-cost, members only insurance. Even today, such
fraternal orders continue to provide Insurance coverage to members, as do most labor
organizations. Many employers sponsor group insurance policies for their employees,
providing not just life insurance, but sickness and accident benefits and old-age pensions.
Employees contribute a certain percentage of the premium for these policies.
� Final Thoughts
Even though the American insurance industry was greatly influenced by Britain, the US market
developed somewhat differently from that of the United Kingdom. Contributing to that was
America's size; land diversity and the overwhelming desire to be independent. As America
moved from a colonial outpost to an independent force, from a farming country to an Industrial
nation, the insurance business developed from a small number of companies to a large
industry.
Insurance became more sophisticated, offering new types of coverage and diversified services
for an increasingly complex country.

KEY FEATURES OF LIFE INSURANCE
1) Nomination: -
When one makes a nomination, as the policyholder, one continues to be the owner of the
policy and the nominee does not have any right under the policy as long as he/she is alive.
The nominee has only the right to receive the policy money in case of your death within the
term of the policy.
2) Assignment: -
If your intention is that your policy monies should go only to a particular person, you need to
assign the policy in favor of that person.
3) Death Benefit: -
The primary feature of a life insurance policy is the death benefit it provides. Permanent
policies provide a death benefit that is guaranteed for the life of the insured, provided the
premiums have been paid and the policy has not been surrendered.
4) Cash Value: -
The cash value of a permanent life insurance policy is accumulated throughout the term of the
policy. It equals the amount a policy owner would receive, after any applicable surrender
charges, if the policy were surrendered before the insured's death.
5) Dividends: -
Many life insurance companies issue life insurance policies that entitle the policy owner to
share in the company's divisible surplus.
6) Paid-Up Additions: -
Dividends paid to a policy owner of a participating policy can be used in numerous ways, one
of which is toward the purchase of additional coverage, called paid-up additions
.
7) Policy Loans: -
19
Some life insurance policies allow a policy owner to apply for a loan against the value of their
policy. Either a fixed or variable rate of interest is charged. This feature allows the policy owner
an easily accessible loan in times of need or opportunity.
3) Loans: -
An individual can easily access loans from different financial institutions by pledging his
insurance policies.
4) Retirement Planning: -
20
What had provided protection against the financial consequences of premature death may now
be used to help them enjoy their retirement years. Moreover the cash value can be used as an
additional income in the old age.
5) Educational Needs: -
Similar to retirement planning the cash values that flow from ones life Insurance schemes can
be utilized for educational needs of the insurer or his children.
“No policy of life insurance effected after the coming into force of this Act shall, after the expiry
of two years from the date on which it was effected, be called in question by an insurer on the
ground that a statement made in the proposal for insurance or in any report of a medical
officer, or referee, or friend of the insured, or in any other document leading to the issue of the
policy, was inaccurate or false, unless the insurer shows that such a statement was on a
material matter or suppressed facts which it was material to disclose and that it was
fraudulently made by the policyholder and that the policyholder knew at that time of making it
that the statement was false or that it suppressed facts which it was material to disclose.”
PROHIBITION OF REBATE:
SECTION 41 OF THE INSURANCE ACT, 1938
“No person shall allow or offer to allow, either directly or indirectly, as an inducement to any
person to take out or renew or continue an insurance in respect of any kind of risk relating to
lives or property in India, any rebate of the whole or part of the commission payable or any
rebate of the premium shown on the policy, nor shall any person taking out or renewing or
continuing a policy accept any rebate, except such rebate as may be allowed in accordance
with the published prospectuses or tables of the insurer.
21
Any person making default in complying with the provisions of this section shall be punishable
with a fine which may extend to five hundred rupees.”
Element of Protection: Life insurance is the best way of securing against financial risks. The
member of the family insures his life to provide affixed amount security to his family in case of
death and his family been secured against any financial strain.
Financial problems not only arise on untimely death of the earning member, but also when the
earning member becomes old and his energy to work reduces and so does his source of
income also reduce. At this stage, he wants to retire and lead a peaceful life. And if he has no
source of income at this time he shall have to depend on others, which is a very pitiable stage
in old age. That is why; a rational man always saves for his old age, so that he doesn’t have to
depend on others for maintaining himself. In such plans, insurance holds the prime position
due to the following reasons-
1) He makes savings in the form of life insurance. To pay a regular premium he has
to save necessarily. Though premium takes a form of compulsory expense yet for
depositing regular premiums he has to develop a habit of saving.
22
2) The saving also remains secure in life insurance. The savings kept in a bank
account can be withdrawn anytime for expenses, but the amount paid as premium can be
received from the insurance company only on attaining a certain age.
3) Life insurance is also a kind of indirect saving. The life insurance policy cannot
be forfeited by Income Tax department, even after non-payment of income tax.
In this way, the element of economic security is present entirely in a life insurance policy.
It is both, an element of protection and a helping hand in the old age.
Element of Investment: Life insurance also provides the benefit of investment. The
amount of premium consists, apart from the cost of insurance, an amount of investment.
This investment constantly increases. And this amount of investment is called Life Fund
and represents the element of investment. The Life insurance companies invest the
amount of life fund to earn profits, and give the benefits of such profits to the policy holder
also. Firstly, while determining the amount of net premium, the amount of interest is
deducted from the cost of insurance that constitutes interest from the investment of
premium fund. Then the insurance companies distribute most of the part of their profits
(up to 90%) to the policyholders as bonus. The investment in Life insurance policy is
superior to other kinds of investments because here there is no risk of loosing money and
there is no need to invest the whole amount at one time. Life insurance can be called as
the best kind of risk- free security, on whose security, lending money is also possible. By
nationalization of Life insurance in our country, the insurance policy is guaranteed by the
government by which it has become more secure.
Term assurance: provides for life insurance coverage for a specified term of years for a
specified premium. The policy does not accumulate cash value. Term is generally considered
"pure" insurance, where the premium buys protection in the event of death and nothing else.
Various insurance companies sell term insurance with many different combinations of these
three parameters. The face amount can remain constant or decline. The term can be for one or
more years. The premium can remain level or increase. A common type of term is called
annual renewable term. It is a one year policy but the insurance company guarantees it will
issue a policy of equal or lesser amount without regard to the insurability of the insured and
with a premium set for the insured's age at that time. Another common type of term insurance
is mortgage insurance, which is usually a level premium, declining face value policy. The face
amount is intended to equal the amount of the mortgage on the policy owner’s residence so
the mortgage will be paid if the insured dies.
A policy holder insures his life for a specified term. If he dies before that specified term is up,
his estate or named beneficiary receives a payout. If he does not die before the term is up, he
receives nothing. In the past these policies would almost always exclude suicide. However,
after a number of court judgments against the industry, payouts do occur on death by suicide
(presumably except for in the unlikely case that it can be shown that the suicide was just to
benefit from the policy). Generally, if an insured person commits suicide within the first two
policy years, the insurer will return the premiums paid. However, a death benefit will usually be
paid if the suicide occurs after the two year period.
Permanent life insurance is life insurance that remains in force (in-line) until the policy matures
(pays out), unless the owner fails to pay the premium when due (the policy expires OR policies
lapse). The policy cannot be canceled by the insurer for any reason except fraud in the
application, and that cancellation must occur within a period of time defined by law (usually two
24
years). Permanent insurance builds a cash value that reduces the amount at risk to the
insurance company and thus the insurance expense over time. This means that a policy with a
million dollar face value can be relatively expensive to a 70 year old. The owner can access
the money in the cash value by withdrawing money, borrowing the cash value, or surrendering
the policy and receiving the surrender value.
The four basic types of permanent insurance are whole life, universal life, limited pay and
endowment.
Whole life insurance provides for a level premium, and a cash value table included in the policy
guaranteed by the company. The primary advantages of whole life are guaranteed death
benefits; guaranteed cash values, fixed and known annual premiums, and mortality and
expense charges will not reduce the cash value shown in the policy. The primary
disadvantages of whole life are premium inflexibility, and the internal rate of return in the policy
may not be competitive with other savings alternatives. Also, the cash values are generally
kept by the insurance company at the time of death, the death benefit only to the beneficiaries.
Riders are available that can allow one to increase the death benefit by paying additional
premium. The death benefit can also be increased through the use of policy dividends.
Dividends cannot be guaranteed and may be higher or lower than historical rates over time.
Premiums are much higher than term insurance in the short-term, but cumulative premiums
are roughly equal if policies are kept in force until average life expectancy.
Cash value can be accessed at any time through policy "loans". Since these loans decrease
the death benefit if not paid back, payback is optional. Cash values are not paid to the
beneficiary upon the death of the insured; the beneficiary receives the death benefit only. If the
dividend option: Paid up additions is elected, dividend cash values will purchase additional
death benefit which will increase the death benefit of the policy to the named beneficiary.
25
UNIVERSAL LIFE COVERAGE
A universal life insurance policy includes a cash account. Premiums increase the cash
account. Interest is paid within the policy (credited) on the account at a rate specified by the
company. Mortality charges and administrative costs are then charged against (reduce) the
cash account. The surrender value of the policy is the amount remaining in the cash account
less applicable surrender charges, if any.
With all life insurance, there are basically two functions that make it work. There's a mortality
function and a cash function. The mortality function would be the classical notion of pooling
risk where the premiums paid by everybody else would cover the death benefit for the one or
two who will die for a given period of time. The cash function inherent in all life insurance says
that if a person is to reach age 95 to 100 (the age varies depending on state and company),
then the policy matures and endows the face value of the policy.
Actuarially, it is reasoned that out of a group of 1000 people, if even 10 of them live to age 95,
then the mortality function alone will not be able to cover the cash function. So in order to
cover the cash function, a minimum rate of investment return on the premiums will be required
in the event that a policy matures.
Universal life insurance addresses the perceived disadvantages of whole life. Premiums are
flexible. Depending on how interest is credited, the internal rate of return can be higher
because it moves with prevailing interest rates (interest-sensitive) or the financial markets
(Equity Indexed Universal Life and Variable Universal Life). Mortality costs and administrative
charges are known. And cash value may be considered more easily attainable because the
owner can discontinue premiums if the cash value allows it. And universal life has a more
flexible death benefit because the owner can select one of two death benefit options, Option A
and Option B.
26
Option A pays the face amount at death as it's designed to have the cash value equal the
death benefit at maturity (usually at age 95 or 100). With each premium payment, the policy
owner is reducing the cost of insurance until the cash value reaches the face amount upon
maturity.
Option B pays the face amount plus the cash value, as it's designed to increase the net death
benefit as cash values accumulate. Option B offers the benefit of an increasing death benefit
every year that the policy stays in force. The drawback to option B is that because the cash
value is accumulated "on top of" the death benefit, the cost of insurance never decreases as
premium payments are made. Thus, as the insured gets older, the policy owner is faced with
an ever increasing cost of insurance (it costs more money to provide the same initial face
amount of insurance as the insured gets older)
LIMITED-PAY
Another type of permanent insurance is Limited-pay life insurance, in which all the premiums
are paid over a specified period after which no additional premiums are due to keep the policy
in force. Common limited pay periods include 10-year, 20-year, and paid-up at age 65.
Endowments are policies in which the cash value built up inside the policy, equals the death
benefit (face amount) at a certain age. The age this commences is known as the endowment
age. Endowments are considerably more expensive (in terms of annual premiums) than either
whole life or universal life because the premium paying period is shortened and the
endowment date is earlier.
Another type of permanent insurance is Limited-pay life insurance, in which all the premiums
are paid over a specified period after which no additional premiums are due to keep the policy
in force. Common limited pay periods include 10-year, 20-year, and paid-up at age 65.
27
ENDOWMENTS
Endowments are policies in which the cash value built up inside the policy, equals the death
benefit (face amount) at a certain age. The age this commences is known as the endowment
age. Endowments are considerably more expensive (in terms of annual premiums) than either
whole life or universal life because the premium paying period is shortened and the
endowment date is earlier.
In the United States, the Technical Corrections Act of 1988 tightened the rules on tax shelters
(creating modified endowments). These follow tax rules as annuities and IRAs do.
Endowment Insurance is paid out whether the insured lives or dies, after a specific period (e.g.
15 years) or a specific age (e.g. 65).
Accidental Death
Accidental death is a limited life insurance that is designed to cover the insured when they
pass away due to an accident. Accidents include anything from an injury, but do not typically
cover any deaths resulting from health problems or suicide. Because they only cover
accidents, these policies are much less expensive than other life insurances.
It is also very commonly offered as "accidental death and dismemberment insurance", also
known as an AD&D policy. In an AD&D policy, benefits are available not only for accidental
death, but also for loss of limbs or bodily functions such as sight and hearing, etc.
Accidental death and AD&D policies very rarely pay a benefit; either the cause of death is not
covered, or the coverage is not maintained after the accident until death occurs. To be aware
of what coverage they have, an insured should always review their policy for what it covers
and what it excludes. Often, it does not cover an insured that puts himself at risk in activities
such as: parachuting, flying an airplane, professional sports, or involvement in a war (military
or not). Also, some insurers will exclude death and injury caused by proximate causes due to
(but not limited to) racing on wheels and mountaineering.
28
Accidental death benefits can also be added to a standard life insurance policy as a rider. If
this rider is purchased, the policy will generally pay double the face amount if the insured dies
due to an accident. This used to be commonly referred to as double indemnity coverage. In
some cases, some companies may even offer a triple indemnity cover.
On 19th January, 1956, the Indian Government issued an emergency ordinance, whose
objective was to nationalize life insurance. As a result of this ordinance, the business of life
insurance which was in the hands of private sector organizations at that time now came in the
hands of the Government of India.
At the time of nationalization, in our country 154 Indian Insurance companies, 16 foreign
insurance companies and 75 private insurance societies were working in the Insurance
business.
In June 1956, an Act by the name of Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956 was passed in the
Parliament, which came into force from 1st July 1956 in India. As a result of this Act, a
Government organization was established which is known as ‘Life Insurance Corporation of
India’. The Life Insurance Corporation started the insurance business from 1 st September,
1956.

3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
39
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. Research
methodology constitutes of research methods, selection criterion of research methods, used in
context of research study and explanation of using of a particular method or technique so that
research results are capable of being evaluated either by researcher himself or by others. Why
a research study has been undertaken, how the research problem has been formulated, why
data have been collected and what particular technique of analyzing data has been used and a
best of similar other question are usually answered when we talk of Research methodology
concerning a research problem or study. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which
is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet.
The area of the study related with informing different people about life insurance policies in the
region of jaipur.
The thumb rule for buying insurance is that your insurance needs are minimal in your early
earning years, increases with added responsibilities (Marriage, children, loans etc.) and taper
off by the time you retire. It is difficult to find a single insurance plan that can take care of all
your changing requirements in life additional protection, more money to invest, sudden
requirement of cash or a steady post-retirement income.
With Bajaj Allianz New Family Gain, you can invest in one life insurance plan that can take
care of all your changing requirements. This plan has been designed to provide you with
maximum flexibility, so that you do not have to worry about your changing needs.

able to save enough. Life Insurance is the only complete answer to these fears. It is life
insurance that provides you with the security of a financial safety net and enables you to plan
for unpredictable adversities. Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you
left open. Let life insurance be that door for you.

The emotional and financial burden of a serious accident, major illness or surgery often lasts
beyond the immediate period of the trauma. Bajaj Allianz HealthCare protects you and your
family from the high expenses associated with medical care and provides you with a
comprehensive financial cushion against various health hazards.
The benefits under this plan are payable in addition to the benefits under all other plans that
you may have, including a Mediclaim policy.

Benefits:
• Life Cover is payable on death of the life assured.
• Hospital Cash Benefit: The worry of meeting expenses relating to hospitalisation adds to
the trauma of hospitalisation. Hospital Cash Benefit reduces this financial burden and helps
you recover with peace of mind. If you have to stay in hospital as a result of injury, sickness or
disease, we will pay at the rate of the room charge in hospital, subject to the limit of the benefit
level chosen, for each full day’s stay in hospital exceeding 3 days up to the total limit allowed in
a policy year. The amount is payable in a lumpsum at the end of the stay in hospital. The
benefit period starts after a waiting period of 60 days from the commencement of risk or
reinstatement
of risk, except for accidental injury. Multiple claims can be made in a policy year.
• Post Hospitalisation Benefit: Recuperating from a surgery/major treatment takes time, and
our Post Hospitalisation Benefit allows you this facility without adding burden to your wallet.
We pay 50% of the Hospital Cash benefit claim settled per day for a maximum of 5 days in a
policy year for essential follow-up treatment on the basis of recommendation of the
hospital/surgeon.
• Surgical Benefit: The costs of doing a surgery have gone up significantly today. Our
Surgical benefit pays you for a surgery done by a qualified surgeon performed at a registered
hospital with a minimum of 15 beds (as in-patient) for surgical procedures advised by a
qualified doctor/physician/surgeon. The benefit amount payable is equal to the surgical
expenses (i.e. surgeon’s fee, operation theatre charges and
anesthetist’s charges) subject to the maximum surgical benefit amount payable in a policy
year. The surgical benefit can only be claimed if the illness covered is diagnosed at least 180
days after the date of commencement of risk or reinstatement of risk.
There is no waiting period if surgery is done due to an accidental injury.
• Critical Illness Benefit: Some illnesses are critical. They not only alter your life’s pattern but
also result in a financial drain. The Critical Illness Benefit softens the impact on the family by
paying out a lumpsum as per the cover selected immediately, while other policy benefits
continue. The critical illness benefit can only be claimed if the illness is diagnosed at least 180
85
days after the date of commencement or reinstatement of risk. We cover 11 critical illnesses:
First Heart Attack, Coronary Artery Disease Requiring Surgery, Stroke, Cancer, Kidney
Failure, Major Organ Transplantation, Multiple Sclerosis, Aorta Graft Surgery, Primary
Pulmonary Arterial
Hypertension, Alzheimer’s disease, Paralysis.
• Accident Permanent Total / Partial Disability (TPD): Accidents are unpredictable and so
are the consequences. They may lead to a permanent disability - partial or total.
This benefit provides a financial cushion against such misfortunes.
Accidental permanent total disability will mean total and permanent disability as a result of an
accident (within 180 days from the date of accident) resulting in one of:
Loss of both eyes, Loss of both arms or both hands, Loss of one arm and one leg,
Loss of one arm and one foot, Loss of one hand and one foot, Loss of one hand and one leg,

claimed on multiple occasions as per the coverage selected (subject to the overall limits)
provided the policy is in force at the time of claim.

investment funds to make Your investment decision.
Premium Apportionment: You can choose to invest fully in any one fund or allocate your
premiums into the various funds in a proportion that suits your investment needs. The
proportion of allocated premium to any fund must be at least 5%. At any policy anniversary,
you also have the flexibility to change the proportion of future premiums to the funds.
96
b) Wheel of Life Portfolio Strategy:
• We provide you with “Years to maturity based portfolio management”.
• At the commencement of the Policy, your premium (regular premium and top up premium, if
any) would be allocated in various funds (namely Equity Index Fund II, Equity Growth Fund &
Accelerator Mid-Cap Fund)
• On each policy anniversary, we will reallocate your fund value among various funds in the
proportion based on your outstanding years to maturity.

2) Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Launches Invest Plus, to Offer Upfront Minimum Guaranteed
Investment Returns at the Beginning of Each Year
06/15/2009
Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company Ltd. has launched Invest Plus, which offers upfront
minimum guaranteed investment returns at the beginning of each year. Invest Plus is the first-
of-its-kind traditional plan that offers upfront minimum guaranteed investment returns at the
beginning of each year and a guaranteed maturity value so that customers can feel protected
at all times and plan their investments without any worries. Invest Plus offers guaranteed
98
benefits in these uncertain times. The USP is the transparency of a ULIP product in a
traditional product. The minimum guaranteed investment returns works towards the benefit of
the customer as he gets an upfront minimum guaranteed rate of returns. This would be
beneficial irrespective of market conditions as he is equally compensated by guaranteed
returns. Minimum guaranteed returns stand for a rate of return which is declared at the
beginning of each financial year itself and promises to offer the customer the same return for
the year irrespective of the market scenario.
Dhanalakshmi Bank has joined hands with Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Co. Ltd. and Bajaj
Allianz Life Insurance Company Ltd. to offer both life and non-life insurance products. Bajaj

I use descriptive research in my studies because it includes survey and fact finding enquiries
of different kinds. Descriptive research deals with everything that can be counted and studied.
But there are always restrictions to that. Your research must have an impact to the lives of the
people around you.
Data Collection
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to
the techniques or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items for the sample.
Sample design may as well be drawn from the population to be included in the sample i.e. the
size of the sample. Sample design is determined before data are collected.
During my study I have taken 30 prospects as the size of sample.
Sampling Method
Randomly sampling method is used.
100
To know the response, I have used the questionnaire method. If one wishes to find what
prospects think or know, the logical procedure is to ask them. This has led marketing
researchers to use the questionnaire technique for collecting data more than any other
method.
In this method questionnaire were distributed to the respondents and they were asked to
answer the questions in the questionnaire. The questionnaire were structured non disguised
questionnaire because the question which the questionnaire contained, were arranged in a
specific order besides every question asked were logical for the study, no question can be
termed as irrelevant.
The questionnaire was non-disguised because the questionnaire was constructed so that the
objective is clear to the respondent. The respondents were aware of the objective. They knew
why they were asked to fill the questionnaire.
• While designing the questionnaire it was kept in mind to gather more and more
information from each target person. For the neither present nor descriptive questions
101
could have served the purpose. Therefore the questionnaire contained in the open-
ended questions.
• The study was conducted in Bajaj Allianz in jaipur city the sample size was 30
customers only so that accuracy of data so collected could be absurd covered by
circulation of questionnaire.
• The accuracy of indications given by the respondents may not be consider adequate as
whether the language used in the questionnaire is understood by the respondent cannot
be taken for granted.
• Since the survey was limited to 30 insurance prospects it is rather difficult to give a
precise conclusion but I have tried to the best of my capability to give the conclusion on
a comprehensive manner.

7. SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Through out the project work I have tried to my extent to learn more and more so that I
enable myself to deliver the best services from my part. I always focused my services to full
satisfaction whether it would for employer or for customer. So during this practical learning
process whatever I have realized to improve the division of the company is as follows:
Tapping the up coming market - Semi Urban Market as there is a lot of opportunity. Most of the
Life Insurance companies are operating in the metros and big cities as per their present branch
office locations. If they have to increase their market size they have to open more distribution
centers at the various urban and semi-urban markets.
• The company always should have proper communication with its front office as well as
back office workers to increase the morale and productivity.
• The company should always have proper planning for gifts/incentives for employees on
various occasions or on competitions.
• Premium and economical class of services should be launched by the company to
serve the varied nature of customers.
• Service awareness camps should be run by the company in remote areas.
• Distribution channel needs more strength.
• Improvement in services through feedbacks from customers is recommended.
