INDUSTRY PROFILE

WHAT IS INSURANCE

The business of insurance is related to the protection of the economic values of assets. Every
asset has a value. The asset would have been created through the efforts of the owner. The
asset would have been created through the efforts of the owner. The asset is valuable to the
owner, because he expects to get some benefits form it. It is a benefit because it meets some
of his needs. The benefit may be an income or in some other form. In the case of a factory or
a cow, the product generated by it is sold and income is generated. In the case of a motor car,
it provides comfort and convenience in transportation. There is no direct income. Both are
assets and provide benefits.

Every asset is expected to last for a certain period of time during which it will provide the
benefits. After that, the benefit may not be available. There is a life-time for a machine in
factory or a cow or a motor car. None of them will last forever. The owner is aware of this
and he can so manage his affairs that by the end of that period or life-time, a substitute is
made available. Thus he makes sure that the benefit is not lost. However, the asset may get
lost earlier. An accident or some other unfortunate event may destroy it or make it incapable
of giving the benefits. An epidemic may kill the cow suddenly. In that case, the owner and
those enjoying the benefits therefore, would be deprived of the benefits. The planned
substitute would not have been ready. There is an adverse or unpleasant situation. Insurance
is a mechanism that helps to reduce the effects of such adverse situations. It promises to pay
to the owner or beneficiary of the asset, a certain sum if the loss occurs.

HISTORY OF INSURANCE

Insurance has been known to exist in some form or other since 3000 BC. The Chinese
traders, traveling treacherous river rapids would distribute their goods among several
vessels, so that the loss from any one vessel being lost, would be partial and shared,
and not total. The Babylonian traders would agree to pay additional sums to lenders,
as the price for writing off the loans, in case of the shipment being stolen. The
inhabitants of Rhodes adopted the principle of general average of general average,
whereby, if goods are shipped together, the owners would bear the losses in
proportion, if loss occurs, due to jettisoning during distress. {Captains of ships caught
in storms, would throw away some of the cargo to reduce the weight and restore

balance. Such throwing away is called jettisoning} The Greeks had started benevolent
societies in the late 7th century AD, to take care of the funeral and families of
members who died. The great fire of London in 1666,in which more than 13000 house
were lost, gave a boost to insurance and the first fire insurance company, called the
fire office, was started in 1680.
The origins of insurance business as in vogue at present, is traced to the Lloyds
Coffee House in London. Traders, who used to gather in the Lloyds coffee house in
London, agreed to share the losses to their goods while being carried by ships. The
losses used to occur because of pirates who robbed on the high seas of because of bad
weather spoiling the goods or sinking the ship. In India, insurance began in 1818 with
life insurance being transacted by an English company, the Oriental Life Insurance
Co. in 1870 in Mumbai. This was followed by the Bharat Insurance co. in 1896 in
Delhi, the Empire of India in 1897 in Mumbai, The United India in Chennai, the
National, the National Indian and Hindustan Cooperative in Kolkata.
Later, were established the cooperative Assurance in Lahore, the Bombay Life
(originally called the swadeshi life), the India Mercantile, the new India and the
Jupiter in Mumbai and the Lakshmi in New Delhi. These were all Indian companies
started as a result of the swadeshi movement in the early 1900s. By the year 1956,
when life insurance business was nationalized and the life Insurance Corporation of
India (LIC) was formed on1st September 1956, there were 170 companies and 75
provident fund societies transacting life business in India. After the amendments to
the relevant laws in 1999, the L.I.C. did not have the exclusive privilege of doing life
insurance business in India. By 31.8.2007, sixteen new life insurers had been
registered and were transacting life insurance business in India.

The History of Insurance in India

Some of the important milestones in the life insurance business in India are:

1912 - The 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.
1956 - 245 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.

Life Insurance a Basic Need

Life insurance is a contract providing for payment of a sum of money to the person assured
or, failing him, to the person entitled to receive the same, on the happening of certain event.
A family is generally dependent for its food, clothing and shelter on the income brought in at
regular intervals by the bread winner of the family. So long as the he lives and the income is
received steadily, that family is secure; but should death suddenly intervene the family may
be left in a very difficult situation and sometimes, in stark poverty.

Uncertainty of death is inherent in human life. It is this uncertainty that is risk, which gives
rise to the necessity for some form of protection against the financial loss arising from death;
insurance substitutes this uncertainty by certainty.

3
Customer Satisfaction BHARTI AXA LIFE ELITE ADVANTAGE

Few Advantages of Life Insurance

1. It is superior to an ordinary savings plans:

This is so because unlike other saving plans, it affords full protection against risk of death. In
case of death, the full sum assured is made available under a life assurance policy; whereas
under other savings schemes the total accumulated savings alone will be available. The latter
will be considerably less than the sum assured, if death occurs during early years.

2. Insurance encourages and forces thrift:

A savings deposit can be too easily withdrawn. Many may not be able to resist the temptation
of using the balance for some less worthy purpose. On the other hand, the payment of life
insurance premiums becomes a habit and comes to be viewed with the same seriousness as
the payment of interest on a mortgage. Thus insurance, in effect brings about compulsory
saving.

3. Easy settlement and protection against creditors:

The life assured can name a person or persons to whom the policy moneys would be payable
in the event of his death. The proceeds of a life insurance policy can be protected against. The
claims of the creditors of the life are assured by effecting a valid assignment of the policy. A
married womens property act policy constitutes a trust in favor of the wife and children and
no separate assignment is necessary. The beneficiaries are fully protected from creditors
except to the extent of any interest in the policy retained by the assured.

4. Administering the legacy for beneficiaries:

It often happens that a provision which a husband or father has made through insurance is
quickly lost through speculative or unwise investment or by unnecessary expenditure on
luxuries. These contingencies can be provided against in the case of insurance. The
policyholder can arrange that in the in the event of his death the beneficiary should receive,
instead of a single sum (a). payment of the net claim amount by equal installments over a
specified period of years, or (b).payment of the claim amount by smaller monthly
installments over the selected period followed by a lump sum at the end thereof.

4
Customer Satisfaction BHARTI AXA LIFE ELITE ADVANTAGE

5. Ready marketability and suitability for quick borrowings:

After an initial period, if the policy holder finds him unable to continue payment of premiums
he can surrender the policy for a cash sum. Alternatively he can tide over a temporary
difficulty by taking loan on the sole security of the policy without delay. Further a life
insurance policy is sometimes acceptable as security for a commercial loan.

6. Tax relief:

For computing income tax (especially in India the Indian income tax act) follows deduction
from income tax payable, a certain percentage of a portion of the taxable income of
individuals which is diverted to payment of insurance premiums. When this tax relief is taken
into account it will be found that the assured is n effect paying a lower premium for his
insurance.

How Insurance Works

The mechanism of insurance is very simple. People who are exposed to the same risks come
together and agree that, if any one of the members suffers a loss, the others will share the loss
and make good to the person who lost. All people who send goods by ship are exposed to the
same risk related to water damage, ship sinking, piracy, etc. those owning factories are not
exposed to these risks, but they are exposed to different kinds of risks like, fire, hailstorms,
earthquakes, lightening, burglary, etc. like this, different kinds of risks can be identified and
separate groups, made including those exposed to such risks. By this method, the risk is
spread among the community and the likely big impact on one is reduced to smaller
manageable impacts on all.

If a Jumbo Jet with more than 350 passengers crashes, the loss would run into several crores
of rupees. No airline would be able to bear such a loss. It is unlikely that many Jumbo Jets
will crash at the same time. If 100 airline companies flying Jumbo Jets, come together into an
insurance pool, whenever one of the jumbo jets in the pool crashes, the loss to be borne by
each airline would come down to a few lakhs of rupees. Thus, insurance is a business
sharing.

Role of Insurance in Economic Development

For economic development, investments are necessary. Investments are made out of
savings. A life insurance company is a major instrument for the mobilization of
savings of people, particularly from the middle and lower income groups. These
savings are channeled into investments for economic growth.
An insurance companys strength lies in the fact that huge amounts come by way of
premiums. Every premium represents a risk that is covered by that premium. In effect,
therefore, these vast amounts represent pooling of risks. The funds are collected and
held in trust for the benefit of the policyholders.
The management of insurance companies is required to keep this aspect in mind and
make all its decisions in ways that benefit the community. This applies also to its
investments. This is why successful insurance companies would not be found
investing in speculative ventures. Their investments benefit the society at large.
The system of insurance provides numerous direct and indirect benefits to the
individual and his family as well as to industry and commerce and to the community
and the nation as a whole. Those who insure, both individuals and corporate, are
directly benefited because they are protected from the consequences of the loss that
may be caused by the accident or fortuitous event. Insurance, thus, in a sense protects
the capital in industry and releases the capital for further expansion and development
of business and industry.
The very existence of risk that is, uncertainty concerning the future, is a severe
handicaps in economic activities. Insurance removes the fear, worry and anxiety
associated with this future uncertainty and thus encourages free investment of capital
in business enterprises and promotes efficient use of existing resources.
Thus insurance encourages commercial and industrial development and there by
contributes to a vigorous economy and increased national productivity.
Present day organization of industry, commerce and trade depend entirely on
insurance for their operation, banks and financial institutions lend money to industrial
and commercial undertakings only on the basis of the collateral security of insurance.
No bank or financial institution would advance loans on property unless it is insured
against loss or damage by insurable perils.
Insurers are closely associated with several agencies and institutions engaged in fire
loss prevention, cargo loss prevention, cargo loss prevention, industrial safety and

6
Customer Satisfaction BHARTI AXA LIFE ELITE ADVANTAGE

road safety. Before acceptance of a risk, insurers arrange survey and inspection of the
property to be insured, by qualified engineers and other experts.
The object of these surveys is not only to assess the risk for rating purposes but also to
suggest and recommend to the insured, various improvements in the risk, which will
attract lower rates of premium and what is more important , reduce the loss potential.
For example, burglary surveyors make recommendation in regard to security
measures such as better locking system, appointment of Watchman, etc. Engineering
surveys play a most useful part in accident prevention as valuable technical advice is
provided in respect of plant and machinery.
Insurance ranks with export trade, shipping and banking services as earner of foreign
exchange to the country. It helps to earn foreign exchange and represent invisible
exports.

PURPOSE AND NEED FOR INSURANCE

Functions of Life Insurance: -

a) Protection

The four hazards against which life insurance offers protection are:

Death

Disability

Disease

Destitution

b) Means of Savings

Life insurance is a sound method of savings. In all other savings, there is always
temptation to withdraw. However, there are in-built provisions under a life insurance
policy (such as paid-up value, surrender value etc.) which discourage the person from
discontinuing a policy. The contracts of life insurance are of long duration, which is an
element of encouragement to thrift and compulsion for saving.

c) Prudent Investment
Returns under a life insurance policy are comparatively lower than other financial
instruments in the market. However, in view of its very sound investment policy and
accumulation of a vast life fund, the Security of funds is very high. Further Liquidity
under life insurance policy is also guaranteed due to provisions of survival benefit, loans,
surrender values etc.

(d) Tax-saving instrument


Premiums under life insurance and annuity policies secure attractive tax benefits.
These get substantial rebates under Income tax, Wealth tax, Gift Tax etc. The proceeds of
life insurance policy are exempt from Income tax and Wealth tax.
14
Customer Satisfaction BHARTI AXA LIFE ELITE ADVANTAGE

(e) Business Protection


Large numbers of business houses are of proprietary nature. With the untimely death
of proprietor, the business can be wiped out due to debts, un-recovered bills and inability
of heirs to carry on the business. A proper planning with the help of life insurance can
save such business and enhance their goodwill value.

(f) Best Collateral


No other financial instrument can compete with life insurance as sound collateral.
By going in for life insurance one creates an instant estate, which can be used as collateral
against housing loans and other business loans.

(g) Relieves Anxiety and Promotes Initiative


This is a hidden but very significant benefit of life insurance plan for an individual. A
man is not prone to take risk for security considerations. But once he is assured of basic
minimum security, he is inclined to take risks and launch any entrepreneurial activity. Life
insurance takes care of one of his biggest worries and thus enables him to embark upon new
initiatives.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

Research Methodology is way to systematically solve the research problem. In it we


study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research
problem along with logic behind them .We also need to understand the assumption
underlying various techniques and procedures will be applicable to certain problems and
other will not. So it is necessary for us to design methodology for the problem as it differs
from problem. So research methodology is not only method research but also logic behind the
methods we use in context of our research study and explain why we are using a particular
method or technique and why we are not using others so that research results are capable of
being evaluated.
