INSURANCE :-
Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge
against the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the
risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium, and can be
thought of as a guaranteed small loss to prevent a large, possibly devastating loss. An
insurer is a company selling the insurance; an insured or policyholder is the person
or entity buying the insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the
amount to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage, called the premium.
Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a
discrete field of study and practice.
It is one of those things that one would not like to think and talk about but if you don’t
you may leave your family unprotected. In simple terms life insurance provides money
for my family in the event that I die.
It is a financial resource for my family and loved ones in case of my death. A “Contract”
between me and the insurance company. “Insurance is sharing the risk between
company and individual”
In insurance two type of benefits risk cover and saving. Risks cover Consists of death,
accidental recovery and health.

Insurance is a basic need of a individual. Like every man eat food forgiving so insurance
is necessary for every human life. If a person not has life insurance and he is died then
his families face many financial troubles. So insurance is necessary need.

History of insurance: -
In some sense we can say that insurance appears simultaneously with the appearance of
human society. We know of two types of economies in human societies: money
economies (with markets, money, financial instruments and so on) and non-money or
natural economies (without money, markets, financial instruments and so on). The
second type is a more ancient form than the first. In such an economy and community, we
can see insurance in the form of people helping each other. For example, if a house
burns down, the members of the community help build a new one. Should the same thing
happen to one's neighbors, the other neighbors must help. Otherwise, neighbors will not
receive help in the future. This type of insurance has survived to the present day in some
countries where modern money economy with its financial instruments is not widespread
(for example countries in the territory of the former Soviet Union).
In India many life insurance companies are working. Some of companies are :-

What is Life Insurance and a Life Insurance Company? Can a Life Insurance Company
Help Me?
Life Insurance is insurance for me and my family's peace of mind. Life insurance is a
policy that people buy from a life insurance company, which can be the basis of protection and
financial stability after one's death. Its function is to help beneficiaries financially after the
owner of the policy dies It can also be a form of savings in the long run if I purchase a plan,
which offers the option of contributing regularly. Additionally, a little known function of life
insurance is that it can be tied in with a person's pension plan. A person can make
contributions to a pension that is funded by a life insurance company.
