EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Insurance is the backbone of a country’s risk management system. Risk is an
inherent part of our lives. The insurance providers offer a variety of products
to businesses and individuals in order to provide protection from risk and to
ensure financial security. They are also an important component in the
financial intermediation chain of a country and are a source of long term
capital for infrastructure and long-term projects. Through their participation in
financial markets, they also provide support in stabilizing the markets by
evening out any fluctuations. The availability of insurance can mitigate the
2
impacts of risk by providing products which help organizations and individuals
to minimize the consequences of risk and
has a positive effect on industry growth as entrepreneurs are able to cover
their risks.
The insurance business is broadly divided into life, health, and non-life
insurance.
Individuals, families, and businesses face risks of premature death, depletion
in income because of retirement, health risks, loss of property, risk of legal
liability, etc. The insurance companies offer life insurance, pension and
retirement income, property insurance, legal liability insurance, etc., to cover
these risks. In addition, they offer several specialized products to meet the
specific needs and requirements of businesses and individuals. Businesses
also depend on these companies for various property and liability covers,
employee compensation, and marine insurance.

INTRODUCTION

Insurance is an integral part of any personal financial plan. The type of
insurance and the amount of coverage you obtain all depends on your unique
financial and family circumstances, and must be evaluated carefully. When
considering purchasing coverage, you should review all the potential risks and
the financial impact of these risks on your financial health. This will help you
determine what options to look for and what questions to ask. And as with
any type of financial product, you must read the fine print and consult with a
competent advisor.
Insurance is a form is risk management in which the insured transfers the cost
of potential loss to another entity in exchange for monetary compensation
known as the premium.
PRODUCT:
A product means what we produce. If we produce goods, it means tangible
product and when we produce or generate services, it means intangible
service product. A product is both what a seller has to sell and a buyer has to
buy. Thus, an Insurance company sells services and therefore services are
their product. When a person or an organization buys an Insurance policy
from the insurance company, he not only buys a policy, but along with it the
5
assistance and advice of the agent, the prestige of the insurance company
and the facilities of claims and compensation. It is natural that the users
expect a reasonable return for their investment and the insurance companies
want to maximize their profitability. Hence, while deciding the product portfolio
or the product-mix, the services or the schemes should be motivational. IDBI
Federal provides many products which cater to the needs of the Indian
customers.

THE INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

THE INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Introduction to Insurance Industry:
Insurance is a form of risk management that shields insured from the risk of
any uncertain of unfortunate events. In simple terms insurance can be defined
as transfer of risk from one entity to another in exchange of the payment. The
transaction consists of insured assuming a guaranteed small loss in the form
of payment to the insurer in exchange of the promise to compensate insured
in case of any kind of financial loss to insured. In a layman’s term, insurance
is a guard against monetary loss arising on the happening of an unforeseen
event. In developing countries like India insurance sector still holds lot of
potential which need to be tapped.
Types of Insurance:
Insurance can be classified into three categories:
1. Life Insurance:
Life Insurance is a concord between the insurer and the policyholder,
where insurer promises to pay beneficiary designated sum of money
upon death of the insured person. Life Insurance covers number of
contingencies like Death, Disability, Disease.
2. General Insurance:
General Insurance is a non-life insurance policy including automobile
and homeowner policy. General insurance specifically consist of non-
life insurance. It includes property insurance, liability insurance and
other forms of insurance. Fire and Marine insurance are called property
insurance.
3. Social Insurance:
Social insurance is another type of insurance for weaker section of the
society. It provides protection to weaker section of the society who are
unable to pay premium. Industrial Insurance, sickness insurance,
pension plan, disability benefits, unemployment benefits are some the
type of social insurance.
21
2.1. INDUSTRY’S DOMINANT ECONOMIC FEATURES:
Insurance sector in India has a deep- rooted history. Its mention has been
found in writings of Manu (Manusmriti), Yagnavalkya (dharmashastra) and
Kautilya (Arthshastra). Ancient Indian history has preserved traces of
insurance in the form of marine trade loans and carrier contracts.
22
.
Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) had the monopoly over the market till the late
90’s when the insurance sector in India was opened for private players.
Before that there were only two state insurer, one was LIC (Life Insurance
Corporation of India) and GIC (General Insurance corporation of India).
Indian insurance sector at present has undergone many structural changes in
2000. The Government of India has liberalized the insurance sector in 2000
with IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and development authority) lifting all entry
restriction of foreign players with a specific limit on direct foreign ownership.
Under the current guideline 26% of equity cap is there for foreign players in an
insurance company and proposal is being given to increase this limit to 49%.
Post liberalization insurance industry in India have come a long way and
today it stands as one of the most competitive, challenging and exploring
industry in India. Increased use of new distribution channels are in limelight
today due to entry of private players. In the long run the use of these
distribution channels and modern IT tools has increased scope of the
insurance industry. Also the changing economics patterns, changing political
scenario, modern IT tools will eventually help in reshaping future of Indian
financial market and Life Insurance business in the country.
23
Major Players:
24
Latest market share of all insurance companies as of march
2011:
25
Regulatory Issues:
26
Threat of New Entrants. The average entrepreneur can't come along and
start a large insurance company. The threat of new entrants lies within the
insurance industry itself. Some companies have carved out niche areas in
which they underwrite insurance. These insurance companies are fearful of
being squeezed out by the big players. Another threat for many insurance
companies is other financial services companies entering the market. What
would it take for a bank or investment bank to start offering insurance
products? In some countries, only regulations that prevent banks and other
financial firms from entering the industry. If those barriers were ever broken
down, like they were in the U.S. with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999,
you can be sure that the floodgates will open.
27
Power of Suppliers. The suppliers of capital might not pose a big threat, but
the threat of suppliers luring away human capital does. If a talented insurance
underwriter is working for a smaller insurance company (or one in a niche
industry), there is the chance that person will be enticed away by larger
companies looking to move into a particular market.
Availability of Substitutes. This one is pretty straight forward, for there are
plenty of substitutes in the insurance industry. Most large insurance
companies offer similar suites of services.In some areas of insurance,
however, the availability of substitutes are few and far between. Companies
focusing on niche areas usually have a competitive advantage, but this
advantage depends entirely on the size of the niche and on whether there are
any barriers preventing other firms from entering.
28
2.3. DRIVERS FOR CHANGE IN THE BROAD ENVIRONMENT
Inflation on the other hand means lower disposal incomes in the hand of the
consumer leading to lower household savings which currently stands at
34.7%, though significantly lower than china which is 50%.
1. Political Development:
Political developments are the more serious threat in Europe and
US. In Europe this can lead to serious sovereign defaults and also
exit from the euro monetary union.
2. Emerging markets has been negatively impacted by faltering growth
in the developed economy. Also tighter monetary policies on the
part of several emerging economies also slowed down growth.
3. Both global in-force and new business life insurance fell in 2011,
but it again recovered. According to the economist in order to return
to the pre-crisis profitability short- term factors like low investment
returns, high hedging cost and more onerous capital requirement.
Life Insurance industry’s capitalization has improved markedly and
it is in the better shape to cope up with the future challenges.
4. Because of some Regulatory changes in China and India, coming
two years will see life insurance business in emerging market
returning to its long term trend of around 8%.
Demand Drivers:
30
Insurance industry in India has become lot more competitive in recent years.
With private players entering into the market, competition level has
significantly increased with more private players trying to gain more market
share. Some of the demand drivers that give change to the smaller
companies to compete against giants like Life Insurance Corporation of India
Ltd (LIC) which has 70% market share are:
1. Rural market:
According to the Mckinsey report, titled India Insurance 2012:
Fortune Favors the Bold, finds that the sector is still in a dissident
with different players in different stage of development and market
presence. According to the Mckinsey’s report the rural penetration
is likely to increase from about 25% at present to around 35-40% in
2012. With 65% of the Life insurance coming from rich urban class,
smaller companies can look for rural and low income group as
potential demand driver.
2. Product Mix;
A better product mix would also drive growth of insurance
companies, with companies making a move to lower the share of
single premium products.
3. Life insurance product can also fill the gap that is created by
growing demand for investment products and long-term savings.
31
Competitor analysis in marketing and strategic management is a judgment
of strength and weakness of the competitors. Companies generally do this
analysis to understand the strength and weakness of their current and
potential competitors. This analysis provides both offensive and defensive
strategy to identify both opportunity and threats. IDBI federal Life Insurance
is one of emerging insurance company. It is one of the few companies that
have shown rapid growth since the day of its inception. In order to gain
higher market Share Company has to understand its competitors that is their
strength and weakness. Competitor analysis will help IDBI to understand
strength and weakness of their competitors. It will IDBI to come up with
offensive or defensive strategy to identify both opportunity and threats.
Some of the main competitors of IDBI federal are:
1. Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC)
2. ICICI prudential
3. SBI Life
4. HDFC standard Life
5. Bajaj Alliance
32
Under this plan the premiums payed by the customer after
deduction of all charges, will be credited to the policyholders
account maintained separately for each policyholder. If all

33
It lacks imagination since it has an image of a government

lot of burden.

35
2.5. KEY SUCCESS FACTOR’S(KSFs)
1. Product Quality:
One the most important factor that differentiates companies is by the
quality of product it offers. Quality of product instills a confidence in the
customer that the product offered by the company is better. Better the
quality of product, more successful is the company.
3. Market Segmentation:
Greater market segmentation should be done in which target audience
should be divided into homogenous groups and products and services
should be targeted towards such market. This would tie company to
their client by customized combination of coverage, easy payment
plan, risk management advice and quick claim handling.
36
4. Designing new strategies:
Insurance Industry cannot be satisfied with consolidation of their
existing market, but have to achieve future growth and penetration.
Companies must focus on new distribution channels, strengthening
their existing point of services, direct contact with their ultimate
customer, refresh their marketing setup, new comers should focus on
tapping the market which is left unexploited by public sector
companies.
7. Use of technology:
Technology plays a very important role in the success of the company.
Internet based Life insurance will help companies to reduce time and
transaction cost and also improves quality of services to its customer.
37

CHAPTER-3
THE PRESENT STUDY
43
3.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:
Insurance is a form is risk management in which the insured transfers the cost
of potential loss to another entity in exchange for monetary compensation
known as the premium.
Life insurance for your child may not be the first thing that you think about
when you bring them home from the hospital. In fact, you may not even be
aware that Children’s Whole Life insurance is available. We want to help you
understand the whole life insurance options available to your child.
So, like a double-edged sword, the best Child Plan is designed to protect the
future of your child in case of your unfortunate demise and at the same time,
builds a corpus over a term to be utilized to finance the prime moments in his
life like higher education and marriage.
44
Need for Child Plans in India:
Child Plan gives you various benefits such as life cover, building a corpus for
the child's education, future needs and the option of adding specific riders. Go
ahead and invest in an Education Plan, but always compare quotes before
you finally sign on the dotted line.
45
Sum Assured -The thumb rule to follow is that the Sum Assured should be
around 10 times your present income.
Policy Term - An ideal Policy Term for a Child Plan is the time you think your
child needs to get on his feet. If your child is 10 years old, your policy term
should be 8 years.
Maturity Amount - Sit with your financial advisor and taking into account the
inflation rate and other such factors, work out a Maturity Amount that you
would require at the end of the Policy Term. Maturity Amount can be received
as a lump sum or in a frequent period of 5 years.
Waiver of Premium – This is a kind of rider that comes inbuilt in Child Plans.
However, if this is not a part of the policy, it is always advisable to opt for the
same. In case of death of the insured, this rider enables the policy to continue
by passing off the financial burden to pay the rest of the premium to the
insurer.
Partial Withdrawals - Some parents prefer withdrawing chunks of Maturity
Amount at pre-fixed intervals instead of getting a lump sum amount at one go.
The intention to opt for this feature is to meet the financial needs of your kid at
the key moments in his life.
Riders and Benefits – These are the add-ons that make your coverage
financially and qualitatively more valuable -
Child ULIPs – A fraction of the premium flows into debt instruments and the
rest into equity instruments. The decision of switching between the funds
remains in the hands of the insured. Since it’s a market linked plan, the return
is decided by the net value of the assets at the maturity period.
46
Child Endowment Plans - The premium flows into debt instruments, the
decision of which is at the discretion of the insurance company. Return is
decided by the bonus payable on maturity.
A Case Scenario:
Mr. Ketan buys a Child Plan for his 8 year old kid with a policy term of 10
years, aiming to get a maturity benefit of Rs 20,00,000. He opts for a life cover
of Rs 25,00,000. He suffered a heart attack after 4 years the policy began.
The insurer is liable to pay the appointee a sum of Rs 25,00,000 and also to
borne the premium to be paid for the rest of the policy term left i.e 6 years.
The child will also get the maturity benefit of Rs 20,00,000 once he reaches
the age of 18 years. The same has been illustrated:
