Life Insurance
Life Insurance is one of the fastest growing sector in India since 2000 as
Government allowed Private players and FDI up to 26% and recently Cabinet
approved a proposal to increase it to 49%. In 1993, the Government of
India appointed RN Malhotra Committee to lay down a road map for privatisation
of the life insurance sector.
While the committee submitted its report in 1994, it took another six years before
the enabling legislation was passed in the year 2000, legislation amending
the Insurance Act of 1938 and legislating the Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority Act of 2000. The same year the newly appointed insurance
regulator Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority IRDA started issuing
licenses to private life insurers.

Types of Life Insurance in India


Life insurance products come in a variety of offerings catering to the investment
needs and objectives of different kinds of investors. Following is the list of broad
categories of life insurance products:-

Term Insurance Policies


The basic premise of a term insurance policy is to secure the immediate needs of
nominees or beneficiaries in the event of sudden or unfortunate demise of
the policy holder. The policy holder does not get any monetary benefit at the end of
the policy term except for the tax benefits he or she can choose to avail of
throughout the tenure of the policy. In the event of death of the policy holder, the
sum assured is paid to his or her beneficiaries. Term insurance policies are also
relatively cheaper to acquire as compared to other insurance products.
Money Back Policies
Money back policies are basically an extension of endowment plans wherein the
policy holder receives a fixed amount at specific intervals throughout the duration
of the policy. In the event of the unfortunate death of the policy holder, the full sum
assured is paid to the beneficiaries. The terms again might slightly vary from one
insurance company to another.
Whole life policies
A whole life insurance plan covers the insured over his life. The primary feature of
this product is that the validity of the policy is not defined so the policyholder
enjoys the life cover throughout his life.
Unit Linked Investment Policies
Unit linked insurance policies again belong to the insurance-cum-investment
category where one gets to enjoy the benefits of both insurance and investment.
While a part of the monthly premium pay-out goes towards the insurance cover,
the remaining money is invested in various types of funds that invest in debt and
equity instruments. ULIP plans are more or less similar in comparison to mutual
funds except for the difference that ULIPs offer the additional benefit of insurance.
Pension Policies
Pension policies let individuals determine a fixed stream of income post
retirement. This basically is a retirement planning investment scheme where the
sum assured or the monthly pay-out after retirement entirely depends on the capital
invested, the investment timeframe, and the age at which one wishes to retire.
There are again several types of pension plans that cater to different investment
needs. Now it is recognized as insurance product and being regulated by IRDA.

Foreign Direct Investment Policy in Insurance Sector


As per the current FDI norms, foreign participation in an Indian insurance
company is restricted to 26.0% of its equity / ordinary share capital . The Insurance
Regulator has stipulated that foreign investment in Indian Insurance companies be
limited to 26% of total equity issued with the balance being funded by Indian
promoter entities. The limit to foreign investment includes both direct and indirect
investment and has been a cause of significant lobbying by foreign insurance
companies for a change in regulations to increase the FDI limit to 49% of equity
issued. Recently, In the Fiscal Budget of Modi Government of 2014-15 it has
introduced 49.0% FDI which will bring in more investments in Insurance Sector.

The Indian government has supported an increase in the FDI limit, which requires
a change in the Insurance Act. The Union Budget for fiscal 2005 had recommended
that the ceiling on foreign holding be increased to 49.0%.
A change in the Insurance Act requires a passage of the bill in both houses of
Parliament. The Indian government has tabled the bill in the Upper House of
Parliament in August 2010.
Initial Public Offer rules for Indian Life Insurance Companies
A key piece of legislation impacting on the Life Insurance industries capital raising
abilities is the lock-in period of 10 years for investment to be limited to promoter
group equity investments. Under the Insurance Guidelines, Indian Life Insurance
companies can opt for a public issue of equity through an Initial Public Offer after
10 years of operations.
In October 2010, the securities market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of
India, issued disclosure norms for Indian Life Insurance Companies seeking to
make an initial public offer for sale of equity shares to the public.

Indian Life Insurance Industry


All life insurance companies in India have to comply with the strict regulations laid
out by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India.
The private companies have come out with products called ULIPs which offer both
life cover as well as scope for savings or investment options as the customer
desires. This type of plans are subject to a minimum lock-in period of three years
to prevent misuse of the significant tax benefits offered to such plans under the
Income Tax Act. Comparison of such products with mutual funds would be
erroneous.
Commission / Intermediation fees
The maximum commission limits as per statutory provisions are:-
Agency commission for retail life insurance business:

 7- 25% for 1st year premium if the premium paying term is more than 20
years.

 7- 10% for 1st year premium if the premium paying term is more than 15
years.

 7- 10% for 1st year premium if the premium paying term is less than 10
years.

 7% - year 2 and 3rd year and 3.5% - thereafter for all premium paying terms.
In case of Mutual fund related - Unit linked policies it varies between 1.5% to 6%
on the premium paid.
Agency commission for retail pension
 7.5% for 1st year premium and 2.5% thereafter

 Maximum broker commission - 30%


 Referral fees to banks – Max 55% for regular premium and 10% for single
premium. However, in any case this fee cannot be more than the agency
commission as filed under the product.

 However, the above commission may be further subject to the product wise
limits specified by IRDA while approving the product.

Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority


Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India is an autonomous apex
statutory body tasked with the regulation and promotion of the insurance and Re-
insurance industries in India. It was constituted by an Act of Parliament called
the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999, duly passed by
the Government of India.
The agency operates from its headquarters at Hyderabad, Telangana where it
shifted from Delhi in 2001.
IRDA sought to raise the Foreign Direct Investment limit to 49% in the insurance
sector from the current 26%.The FDI limit in insurance sector was later raised to
100% in June 2016.

History of Insurance in India


Insurance has a long history. It finds mention in the writings of Manu
(Manusmrithi), Yagnavalkya (Dharmasastra) and Kautilya (Arthasastra). The
writings talk in terms of pooling of resources that could be re-distributed in times
of calamities such as fire, floods, epidemics and famine. This was probably a
precursor to modern day insurance. Ancient Indian history has preserved the
earliest traces of insurance in the form of marine trade loans and carriers’
contracts. Insurance in India has evolved over time heavily drawing from other
countries, England in particular.
1818 saw the advent of life insurance business in India, with the establishment of
the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. This company, however, failed
in 1834. In 1829, the Madras Equitable had begun transacting life insurance
business in the Madras Presidency. 1870 saw the enactment of the British
Insurance Act and in the last three decades of the nineteenth century, the Bombay
Mutual (1871), Oriental (1874) and Empire of India (1897) were started in the
Bombay Residency. This era, however, was dominated by foreign insurance
offices which did good business in India, namely Albert Life Assurance, Royal
Insurance, Liverpool and London Globe Insurance and the Indian offices were up
for hard competition from the foreign companies.
In 1914, the Government of India started publishing returns of Insurance
Companies in India. The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act, 1912 was the first
statutory measure to regulate life business. In 1928, the Indian Insurance
Companies Act was enacted to enable the Government to collect statistical
information about both life and non-life business transacted in India by Indian and
foreign insurers including provident insurance societies. In 1938, with a view to
protecting the interest of the Insurance public, the earlier legislation was
consolidated and amended by the Insurance Act, 1938 with comprehensive
provisions for effective control over the activities of insurers.
The Insurance Amendment Act of 1950 abolished Principal Agencies. However,
there were a large number of insurance companies and the level of competition
was high. There were also allegations of unfair trade practices. The Government of
India, therefore, decided to nationalize insurance business.
An Ordinance was issued on 19 January 1956 Nationalising the Life Insurance
sector and Life Insurance Corporation came into existence in the same year. The
LIC absorbed 154 Indian, 16 non-Indian insurers, and 75 provident societies —245
Indian and foreign insurers in all. The LIC had a monopoly until the late 90s, when
the Insurance sector was reopened to the private sector.
General insurance in India began during the Industrial Revolution in the west and
the consequent growth of sea-faring trade and commerce in the 17th century. It
came to India as a legacy of British occupation. General Insurance in India has its
roots in the establishment of Triton Insurance Company Ltd., in the year 1850 in
Calcutta by the British. In 1907, the Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd., was set up.
This was the first company to transact all classes of general insurance business.
1957 saw the formation of the General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance
Association of India. The General Insurance Council framed a code of conduct for
ensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.
In 1968, the Insurance Act was amended to regulate investments and set minimum
solvency margins. The Tariff Advisory Committee was also set up then.
In 1972 with the passing of the General Insurance Business Act, general insurance
business was nationalized with effect from 1 January 1973. 107 insurers were
amalgamated and grouped into four companies, namely National Insurance
Company Ltd., the New India Assurance Company Ltd., the Oriental Insurance
Company Ltd and the United India Insurance Company Ltd. The General
Insurance Corporation of India was incorporated as a company in 1971 and it
commence business on January 1sst 1973.
This millennium has seen insurance come a full circle in a journey extending to
nearly 200 years. The process of re-opening of the sector had begun in the early
1990s and the last decade and more has seen it been opened up substantially. In
1993, the Government set up a committee under the chairmanship of RN Malhotra,
former Governor of RBI, to propose recommendations for reforms in the insurance
sector. The objective was to complement the reforms initiated in the financial
sector. The committee submitted its report in 1994 wherein, among other things, it
recommended that the private sector be permitted to enter the insurance industry.
They stated that foreign companies be allowed to enter by floating Indian
companies, preferably a joint venture with Indian partners.
Following the recommendations of the Malhotra Committee report, in 1999, the
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority was constituted as an
autonomous body to regulate and develop the insurance industry. The IRDA was
incorporated as a statutory body in April, 2000. The key objectives of the IRDA
include promotion of competition so as to enhance customer satisfaction through
increased consumer choice and lower premiums, while ensuring the financial
security of the insurance market.
The IRDA opened up the market in August 2000 with the invitation for application
for registrations. Foreign companies were allowed ownership of up to 26%. The
Authority has the power to frame regulations under Section 114A of the Insurance
Act, 1938 and has from 2000 onwards framed various regulations ranging from
registration of companies for carrying on insurance business to protection of
policyholders’ interests.
In December, 2000, the subsidiaries of the General Insurance Corporation of India
were restructured as independent companies and at the same time GIC was
converted into a national re-insurer. Parliament passed a bill de-linking the four
subsidiaries from GIC in July, 2002.
Today there are 28 general insurance companies including the ECGC and
Agriculture Insurance Corporation of India and 24 life insurance companies
operating in the country.
The Insurance sector is a colossal one and is growing at a speedy rate of 15-20%.
Together with banking services, insurance services add about 7% to the country’s
GDP. A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is a boon for economic
development as it provides long- term funds for infrastructure development at the
same time strengthening the risk taking ability of the country.

Insurance Repository

repository system. An Insurance Repository is a facility to help policy holders buy
and keep insurance policies in electronic form, rather than as a paper
document. Insurance Repositories, like Share Depositories or Mutual
Fund Transfer Agencies, will hold electronic records of insurance policies issued
to individuals and such policies are called "electronic policies" or "e Policies".

 TERM INSURANCE PLANS


Term Life Insurance provides coverage at a fixed rate of payments for a limited
period of time, the relevant term. After that period expires, coverage at the
previous rate of premiums is no longer guaranteed and the client must either forgo
coverage or potentially obtain further coverage with different payments or
conditions. If the life insured dies during the term, the death benefit will be paid to
the beneficiary. Term insurance is the least expensive way to purchase a substantial
death benefit on a coverage amount per premium dollar basis over a specific period
of time.
Term Life Insurance can be contrasted to permanent life insurance such as whole
life, universal life, and variable universal life, which guarantee coverage at fixed
premiums for the lifetime of the covered individual unless the policy owner allows
the policy to lapse. Term insurance is not generally used for estate planning needs
or charitable giving strategies but is used for pure income replacement needs for an
individual. Term insurance functions in a manner similar to most other types of
insurance in that it satisfies claims against what is insured if the premiums are up
to date and the contract has not expired and does not provide for a return of
premium dollars if no claims are filed. Auto insurance will satisfy claims against
the insured in the event of an accident and a homeowner policy will satisfy claims
against the home if it is damaged or destroyed by, for example, a fire. Whether or
not these events will occur is uncertain. If the policyholder discontinues coverage
because he has sold the insured car or home, the insurance company will not
refund the full premium. This is purely risk protection.
Pure Protection or Term plans are the most basic form of life insurance plans. They
enable you to secure your family financially, by offering a high life insurance cover
amount for a relatively low premium payment. You can pay these premiums
regularly, or at one go, depending on the life insurance policy you choose.
These insurance plans let you keep your family secure and financially independent,
in your absence. If you are the Life Assured, you pay a specific premium amount at
fixed intervals during your policy. In the eventuality of death during the policy
tenure, your family gets a pre-decided amount, called ‘Sum Assured’ as per the
provisions of your protection plan.

 ICICI Pru iProtect Smart


Secure your loved ones even in your absence
ICICI Pru iProtect smart provide a lump sum pay-out to your nominee in case of an
unfortunate event. This amount can be used to help meet regular expenses and
repay any loans that you may have.

Assuming that you take a home loan of ₹25 lakh at the age of 30 and a Life Cover
of ₹1 crore under this plan. In case of an unfortunate event during the policy term,
your nominee will receive the entire lump sum amount i.e. ₹1 crore to pay off the
outstanding loan and take care of day to day expenses.

With this plan, you can decide how your nominee receives the Life Cover amount
in your absence. The company provides pay-out options on the basic Life Cover
amount to protect the future of your family. Additionally, the Accident Cover and
Critical Illness amount will always be paid-out as a lump sum under this plan.
Choice of Protection
Depending on the needs of your family, you can choose their events against which
you want to secure your loves ones. ICICI iProtect Smart offers complete
protection against various unforeseen events such as death, permanent disability,
terminal illness, critical illness and accidental death.

 Death and Terminal Illness: Your nominee receives the Life Cover amount
in case of an unfortunate event such as death. Moreover, on the first diagnosis of
a terminal illness, you will receive the entire lump sum. Terminal Illness refers
to the high likeliness of death within the next six months as diagnosed by
medical practitioners that specialized in the same.
 Permanent Disability: The company pays all due premiums on your behalf
in case of permanent disability caused due to an accident. Permanent
Disability~ will be triggered if you are unable to perform 3 out of the 6 following
activities permanently and consistently for 6 consecutive months:
o Mobility: The ability to walk a distance of 200 meters on flat ground.
o Bending: The ability to bend or kneel to touch the floor and straighten
up again and the ability to get into a standard car, and out again.
o Climbing: The ability to climb up a flight of 12 stairs and down again,
using a handrail if needed.
o Lifting: The ability to pick up an object weighing 2 kg at table height
and hold it for 60 seconds before replacing the object on the table.
o Writing: The ability to write using a pen or pencil, or type using a
computer's keyboard.
o Blindness (permanent and irreversible): Permanent and irreversible
loss of sight to the extent that even when tested with the use of visual aids,
vision is measured at 3/60 or worse, using a Snellen eye chart.
 Accidental Death: In case of death due to an accident, your nominee
receives a lump sum amount called the Accident Cover*.
 Critical Illness: On the first occurrence of any of the covered 34 critical
illnesses, you receive a lump sum pay-out.
Pay out to you in case of 34 Illness
We understood that if you are recognized with a life threating disease, the burden
of medical costs and liabilities falls upon you and your loves ones. The company
pays you critical illness benefit as a lump sum amount.
This will help you meet the cost of medical care and manage regular expenses
during difficult times. This pay is made irrespective of immediate hospitalization
or medical costs due to the illness.
This benefit is payable when you are diagnosed for the first time with any of the 34
critical illnesses covered by ICICI Pru iProtect Smart.

The Life Cover will reduce by the value of the Critical Illness Benefit paid to you.
As a result, the future premiums you have to pay will reduce as well.

Assuming you take Life Cover of ₹1 crore with lump sum pay-out option for your
32 year old wife, who is a healthy, non-smoking individual. Along with this, you
opt for ₹25 lakh as CI Benefit in the Life & Health Benefit Option. There is need
to pay yearly premium of ₹15,458, including all taxes, for a policy term of 25
years under Regular Pay option. If your wife is diagnosed with one of the 34
critical illnesses covered at age 40, she will be paid ₹25 lakh.

The Life Cover will reduce to ₹75 lakh and the future premium will reduce to
₹6,502 p.a., excluding service tax and cesses. So, if you have a CI benefit of ₹1
crore and a Life Cover of ₹1 crore, after the CI Benefit is paid to you, the policy
will end.

Accidental Pay out in Case of an Accident


In case of death due to an accident, the company offers a pay-out that is double the
life cover opted by you.

This pay-out is subject to a maximum of Rs.2 crore.

Waiver of Premium in Case of Permanent Disability


In case of permanent disability due to an accident, the company waives all future
premiums and your policy continues uninterrupted.

Increase your Life Cover at Important Milestones of Life


To ensure your family is always covered, ICICI Pru iProtect Smart offers you the

 UNIT INSURANCE INSURANCE PLANS


Unit Link Insurance Plan is basically a combination of insurance as well as
investment. A part of the premium paid is utilized to provide insurance cover to the
policy holder while the remaining portion is invested in various equity and debt
schemes. The money collected by the insurance provider is utilized to form a pool
of fund that is used to invest in various markets instruments (debt and equity) in
varying proportions just the way it is done for mutual funds. Policy holders have
the option of selecting the type of funds (debt or equity) or a mix of both based on
their investment need and appetite. Just the way it is for mutual funds, ULIP policy
holders are also allotted units and each unit has a net asset value (NAV) that is
declared on a daily basis. The NAV is the value based on which the net rate of
returns on ULIPs are determined. The NAV varies from one ULIP to another based
on market conditions and the fund’s performance.

 ICICI Pru Easy Retirement


Growth of your money
You can enjoy the opportunity to get potentially better returns and grow your
money by investing in a mix of equity and debt. This combination helps you beat
inflation while protecting your investments.

Inflation is the rate at which the price of goods and services increases over a period
of time. The average price of petrol has increased from ₹40 in 2005 to ₹62 in 2015
as a result of inflation over the same period.
On the other hand, savings rate, is the rate at which your savings grow. To gain
from your investments, your savings rate should be higher than the inflation rate.
In order to get better returns in the long run, it is advisable to have equity exposure.
Equity markets are subject to short-term market volatility. However, the long-
term impact of this short-term volatility in ULIP equity funds is negligible.
Investing in a mix of equity and debt can help in building your savings, while
protecting your investment over the long run.
If 60% your money was invested in the equity market and 40% in debt market in
the last 10 years, your investment would have grown by around 12% on an
annualized basis. This growth would have helped you stay ahead of the inflation
rate of about 6% in the same period.

money. It does this by offering capital guarantee on the money that you invest. On

the Assured Benefit ensures that you receive 101% of all the sum of premiums paid
by you and top ups, if any.
You can utilise this benefit amount only as per the available options. Alternatively,
you can choose to postpone your vesting date. As a result, your money is protected
as the company returns your invested money regardless of market ups and downs.
If you invest ₹1,00,000 every year for 5 years, the company guarantees to return a
minimum sum of ₹5,05,000.
The Assured Benefit amount shown assumes all due premiums as per the premium
payment term shown above are paid. On maturity, you will receive higher of
Assured Benefit or fund value. Assured Benefit will be 101% of total premium
paid which is applicable only on maturity of the policy and does not apply on death
or surrender.
Fund Value is the total value of the money that is invested in a fund of your choice.
Move your money between funds conveniently
You can choose to invest your money in equity or debt funds of your choice. You

report provides a reliable, suitable, adequate and specific knowledge. The standard

UNIVERSE AND SURVEY POPULATION SAMPLE


The process of collecting observation from the elements of a large population may
be expensive, time consuming and difficult. It will be cheaper and quicker to
collect the information from a sample of the population.

A sample is a fraction or a subset of population through a valid statistical


procedure so that it can be regarded as representative of the entire population. The
valid statistical procedure of drawing sample from the population is called
sampling.

Nature of sampling

Random sampling has been used here. Random sampling is a type of sampling
technique where each element of population has a chance of getting selected.
Nature of this sampling is random sampling because each insurance company has
an equal chance of being selected is its category.

Sample units:

One of the units which an aggregate is divided or regarded as divided for the
purpose of sampling, each unit being regarded as individual and invisible when the
selection is made. The definition of unit may be made on some natural basis or on
some arbitrary basis. In the case of multistage sampling the units are different at
different stages of sampling, being “large” at the first stage and growing smaller
with each stage in the process of sampling.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths
The strength must be unique. If most competitors offer quality service, then that is
a necessity not a strength. One of the strengths that a business owner may take for
granted might be something that customers would value and that the competition
doesn’t have or do. Brainstorm first and edit later. Write down words that
characterize the business.

Weakness
The firm does not have, cannot do at all or does poorly. This is the time for brutal
honesty, but also a time for realism. Consider this from an internal and external
basis. Do outsiders perceive weaknesses that the firm does not see? Are
competitors doing anything better? It is best to be realistic now, and face any
unpleasant truths as soon as possible.

Opportunities

Look at the strengths and weakness, and evaluate if they can be leveraged into
opportunities. List what the marketplace is not doing. Add items that the
marketplace seems to need, and which the business could perhaps provide. Think
in terms of what would benefit clients—cheaper, easier, more convenient, faster.
Threats
No organization is immune to threats. These could be internal, such as falling
productivity. Or they could be external, such as changes in the direction of the
insurance companies. What obstacles currently exist? Is changing technology
threatening the firm’s position? Carrying out this analysis will often be
illuminating—both in terms of pointing out what needs to be done, and in putting
problems into perspective. List the items that could make the business obsolete, or
wipe it out, in the lower right box.
