Historical Background:

Adamjee Insurance Company was formed in September 28, 1960 as a Public Limited Company,
founded by Abdul Hamid Adamjee, Abdul Razak Adamjee and Ashraf Adamjee and is listed on
all three stock Exchanges of Pakistan. The company is also registered with Central Depository
Company of Pakistan Limited (CDC). Adamjee is involved in the business of General Insurance.
The company started its operations with Rs. 2.5 million which has grown amazingly in the past 5
decades. As of 2014 paid up-capital of company is 3.4 billion. AICL enjoys a strong competitive
edge in the insurance industry due to strong assets base, paid-up capital, reserves, balanced

AICL comprises of insurance has superior management teams, sustainable competitive
advantage and is fully equipped with identifiable value enhancement opportunities. The
Company has originated volumes across the spectrum of businesses, entered joint partnerships
with key players in the financial sector and expanded its business across Pakistan and Dubai.

Adamjee Acquisition History:

6
Mian Mansha’s entire group was holding directly and indirectly more than 40 per cent of the
equity thus causing the company to be a subsidiary of Mansha group.
A suit has been filled by AIC, Abdul Hamid Adamjee, Abdul Razak Adamjee and Ashraf Adamjee
against Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) and Mian Muhammad Mansha in which the plaintiff
says
"The Defendant's intention to take over the Plaintiff (through a hostile takeover) is
against the public policy and if allowed by the court it would also cause injury to the general
public as a whole, as it would destroy a blue-chip and well-managed company by allowing a
nominee of the bank to interfere in its business set negative precedent as regards the aspects
of good governance of the company Cause with the same ease as the Defendant has to acquire
by hostile takeover of companies in Pakistan.
But Adamjee registers also shows that MCB holds 40% shares in actual MCB has taken over
these shares when people, who had pledged these shares, failed to discharge their liabilities
and MCB also maintains investment portfolio which include AICL. Since AICL was making profit
and issuing bonus shares, MCB's investment in AICL has also grown which give base for the
acquisition of AICL.

Then finally the honorable court after listen the plea of both Parties, decide based on facts in
favor of Mansha Group. So, in April 08, 2002
Mian Mansha had acquired a controlling position in Adamjee Group, the country's largest non-
life insurance company.

Departments of Adamjee insurance

1. Underwriting Department
2. Claims Department
3. Accounts Department
4. Re-Insurance Department
5. Human Resource Department
6. Marketing Department
7. Investment Department

1. Underwriting Department

Adamjee underwriting department evaluates the risk and exposures of potential clients. It
decides how much coverage the client should receive, how much they should pay for it, or
whether even to accept the risk and insure them. Underwriting involves measuring risk
exposure and determining the premium that needs to be charged to ensure that risk.
The function of the underwriter in this is to acquire or to "write" business that will make the
insurance company money, and to protect the company's book of business from risks that they
feel will make a loss. In simple terms, it is the process of issuing insurance policies. Adamjee like
other insurance company has its own set of underwriting guidelines to help the underwriter
determine whether the company should accept the risk.

The information used to evaluate the risk of an applicant for insurance will depend on the type
of coverage involved. For example, in underwriting automobile coverage, an individual's driving
record is critical.

The factors that underwriting department uses to classify risks should be objective, clearly
related to the likely cost of providing coverage, practical to administer, consistent with
applicable law, and designed to protect the long-term viability of the insurance program. The
underwriters may either decline the risk or may provide a quotation in which the premiums
have been loaded or in which various exclusions have been stipulated, which restrict the
circumstances under which a claim would be paid. Depending on the type of insurance product
(line of business), this insurance companies use automated underwriting systems to encode
these rules, and reduce the amount of manual work in processing quotations and policy
issuance.

Major Underwriting Functions


16
One of the most important functions of the underwriter is creating a policy that will
be beneficial to both the customer and the insurance company. The underwriter must weigh th
e risks of insuring a customer. Then, the rates will be established which a customer pays in retur
n for the insurance company agreeing to cover theserisks. The underwriter must create a policy
that is suitable to the customer yet not too liberal as to expose the insurance company to
excessive claims. Also, an underwriter must be able to analyze information and can make
decisions very quickly. Since change constantly occurs in both business and personal situations, the
underwriter must be flexible and able to adapt policies to meet the needs of the customer.

Process of Underwriting:

The actual process by which risks are underwritten will vary from one class of business to
another and will also depend on an insurer ‘s general approach. What we can do is to look at
underwriting in a general sense in relation to personal insurances, life assurance and commercial
insurances.

Personal Insurance
The underwriting of personal insurances is relatively straightforward. The main source of
information about a risk will come from the proposal form and if there is anything
else which an individual underwriter may want, he would write to the proposer. A large volume
of proposal forms for various classes of personal insurance will be dealt with
by branch offices of insures. Much of the work will be mechanical in nature and the vast bulk
will be processed with little difficultly in many cases the underwriting is delegated to some other person,
quite outside the insurance company. This is the case for example in travel insurance where the
policy is sold by a travel agent or airline. A proposal form is completed by the proposer and the policy issued
almost immediately from a pad of policies. Possibly with an upper monetary limit on the sum
insured. Underwriting in these cases is almost a matter of making sure that a completely undesirable
proposer is not allowed cover. There will be little discrimination among those cases which are accepted
and he brooked or other agent will have little or no flexibility in pricing.

Commercial Insurance
The underwriting of commercial business insurances is a much more complicated and involved task.
Commercial insurance ranges from small shops and factories to large multinational
corporations with operations in many countries throughout the world. The degree of
complexity of the underwriting will obviously vary with sheer size of the risk but certain basic
principles are still recognizable. In large cases this is simply impossible. For one thing, the
details of a risk could not be confined to a proposal from. There is just too much information to
condense on to a form no matter how large the form may be. This is where the broker may help. As we

17
mentioned earlier, the broker in these large cases will be able to prepare the case for the
underwriter. This may mean site inspections by the broker and the preparation of the plans and
reports on the relevant aspects of the risk. This documentation, which may be extremely extensive, is then
passed to the underwriter and negotiation can commerce on the terms, conditions, cover and price.

Survey of Risk:

Even where a broker is involved (and certainly when there is no broker). The underwriter will
involve a surveyor. This risk surveyor is the person who acts as the eyes and ears of the
underwriter, Adamjee employ specialist surveyors in the different areas of risk such as fire and
security business interruption and so on. The surveyor will eventually prepare a report for the
underwriter and in the case of many property risks will also draw plan. The report will cover
several features, including.

 A full description of the risk. This may include the plan of the premises in the case of
property risk, the process being carried out at the premises, details of the insured etc.
 An assessment of the level of risk. This will consider all the relevant hazard factors, both
moral and physical, and provide the underwriter with some idea of the degree of risk
which he is being asked to accept. The surveyor will also be able to comment on
surrounding property as in the case of fire insurance, for example, this may have an
impact on the level of risk.
 A measure of maximum probable loss (MPL). This MPL, or estimated maximum loss
(EML) as is known by some, is the maximum that the surveyor believes will be the
subject of a loss.

Calculation of Premium
When they have looked at the role of the underwriter, the underwriter processes itself and the
part played by reinsurance. These have examined, in their different ways, the way in which risks
are accepted insurers and the financial steps which insurers take to protect themselves.
Adamjee insurance company has two final aspects the insurance transaction to examine.
 First, which business of pricing and paying for the insurance service
 second is the making of claims
The last task of the underwriter, as they listed them, was to calculate a suitable premium. The
premium which an insured pay represents that insured ‘s contribution to the common pool.
This contribution must be fair and must reflect the degree of hazard which that insured brings
to the pool. In other words, the premium must be sufficient to:

 Reserve for outstanding claims

18
Not all claims will be settled during the year for which the premium has been paid and
hence the premium must consider those claims still to be settled at the end of the year.
This is particularly true in the case of claims involving personal injury. They can take
several years to settle and the insurer must bear them in mind when calculating the
premium.

 Contingent reserve
Adamjee also consider the fact that there can be contingencies, beyond their control,
which may involve a liability to meet claims at some time in the future. Insurers do this
by making reserves.
 Meet all expenses
As the Adamjee have several operational expenses to meet in the running of the
business these include:
 salaries to staff of Adamjee
 office costs of all forms ‘
 advertising
 Commission.
The premium collected from each insured must be sufficient in aggregate to cover cost
of operating.
 PROVISION FOR PROFIT
Finally, Adamjee ensure that there is provision for a reasonable profit. The majorities of
insurers are answerable to shareholders and must provide a reasonable return on the
investment which these shareholders have made in the company. In the case of mutual
companies, the members will still be looking for a reasonable surplus being made to
meet the objectives of the mutual.
Arriving at the premium, however, is not simply a matter of calculating the correct
premium by a mathematical formula.

Adamjee takes several important commercial considerations. These will include:

 Inflation
The company must be aware of the changing value of money. Claims will be met
tomorrow, out of premium received today. The implication of this is that the cost of
settling a claim may rise, not due to any increase in the magnitude of the claim itself
19
 Interest rates
As Adamjee is the insurance company so it generates funds from investment. These
funds generate substantial investment income upon which insurers depend. Variability
in interest rates has also to be considered in premium calculations.
 Exchange rates
Adamjee also seen that a substantial volume of premium income is derived from outside
of the United Kingdom. Whenever there is movement of money across national borders,
there is the added problem of exchange rate risk. The insurer has to take account of this
risk and the cost of managing it has to recover through the premium which insured ‘s
pay.
 Competition
The final commercial factor is that of competition. The Adamjee is not alone in the
market place and increasingly there is strong competition. Charging too high a premium
may result in the loss of business

2. CLAIMS DEPARTMENT

As we know that insurance is a promise which is selling. So Adamjee sell insurance and
promises to pay all covered first party claims in a timely manner and to defend and indemnify
all third-party cases. It also promises to act with the utmost good faith towards their insured.
But, this only happens once - when the insured has a claim and once the loss happened to the
client provide the claim report to company the work of claim department starts.

FACTORS OF EFFECTIVE CLAIM MANAGEMENT

Following are the factors that Adamjee insurance company considers may affect to attract the
customer for further business if adopted.

 Claims reporting
 Receipt of claims by the company
 Claims files and procedures
 Fraud detection and prevention
 Claims assessment
 Claim processing
 Complaints and dispute settlement
 Supervision of claims-related services
 Market practices

20
CLAIMS REPORTING:

This company underwrites insurance policies in easily understandable language. Policies spell
out what is covered and what is not covered. If necessary, plain language explanations could be
an addendum to the legal language. The company draws the attention of the policyholder
/claimant/ beneficiary both when he/she signs a policy (for policyholders only) and when
he/she reports a loss on his/her duties related to claim reporting which include:

 To try to minimize losses


 To report claims in a timely fashion
 To co-operate in the investigation by providing the company with all relevant
information and copies of official documents regarding the damage (accident, loss, etc.)

 To authorize the company to handle necessary inspections and assess the extent of the
damage prior to any repairs or replacement
 To ensure that the claims reporting phase proceeds as smoothly as possible, this
insurance company sends to the policyholder/claimant/beneficiary within a reasonable
period (beginning from when the loss is reported)
 An appropriate claim form (when the loss reporting is made in writing) for the type of
policy -prepared either by an individual insurance company or at the national level by
companies or the supervisory authorities together with instructions and useful
information on how to comply with the terms of the policy and the legitimate
requirements of the company
 The information necessary to help them to report the claim.

RECEIPT OF CLAIMS BY THE COMPANY

Adamjee or its broker is contacted as soon as possible on happening of event of claim.

 Company send acknowledgement to make insured known that his notification is


received by the company.
 If there is any delay insured must be made informed of it.
 Company asks for the documents required in settling the claims.
 Company informs the insured about his right of subrogation if insured is not known to.

CLAIMS FILES AND PROCEDURES

Once a claim has been filed and, when applicable, after any additional documents that are
required to process the claim have been received, the file established by a company contains
the following documents.
 Intimation letter
 Claim form duly filled and signed by insured
 Claim filing number
 Policy number

21
 Name of the policyholder/claimant/beneficiary
 Summary sheet showing development / review of the claim
 Type of insurance concerned
 Opening date of the file
 Date of loss
 Reporting date
 Description of the claim

FRAUD DETECTION AND PREVENTION

Insurance fraud has existed ever since the beginning of insurance as a commercial enterprise.
Fraudulent claims account for a significant portion of all claims received by insurers, and cost
billions of dollars annually. Types of insurance fraud are very diverse, and occur in all areas of
insurance. Insurance crimes also range in severity, from slightly exaggerating claims to
deliberately causing accidents or damage. Fraudulent activities also affect the lives of innocent
people, both directly through accidental or purpose full injury or damage, and indirectly as
these crimes cause insurance premiums to be higher. Insurance fraud poses a very significant
problem, and governments and other organizations are making efforts to discourage such
activities.

The chief motive in all insurance crimes is financial profit. Insurance contracts provide both the
insured and the insurer with opportunities for exploitation. One reason that this opportunity
arises is in the case of over-insurance, when the amount insured is greater than the actual value
of the property insured. This condition can be very difficult to avoid, especially since an
insurance provider might sometimes encourage it to obtain greater profits. This allows
fraudsters to make profits by destroying their property because the payment they receive from
their insurers is of greater value than the property they destroy.

Insurance companies are also susceptible to fraud because false insurance claims can be made
to appear like ordinary claims. This allows fraudsters to file claims for damages that never
occurred, and so obtain payment with little or no initial cost. So Adamjee claims department
take precaution to find fraud claim.

CLAIMS ASSESSMENT

When any claim is presented to company, following points are taken into account by the claim
department of Adamjee:

 Any method of considering specific factors such as depreciation, discounting or


negligence on the part of the victim is clearly outlined in the claim file.
 Any loss evaluation methods used by the company are reasonable and coherent.

22
 This company uses internal methods for assessing claim values based on the applicable
law of the jurisdiction.
 Company use claims adjusters or intermediaries also ascertain their competence
qualifications.
 Company notifies policyholders/claimants/beneficiaries whenever it uses independent
claims adjusters or intermediaries.
 When the damage is assessed through a written estimate made on behalf of the
company, the company sends the policyholder/ claimant/ beneficiary a copy of the
document used to set the amount of compensation.

CLAIM PROCESSING

 Claims handling procedures are in written form and each member or at least one member is
provided with that written regulations or procedures so that manuals could be
consulted at time when required. Otherwise the staff is also qualified. Internal Audit is
also conducted either by Internal auditors appointed or by the employees themselves as
one employee checks the work of consecutive employee this helps to save the cost
of internal auditor and the efficiency is also achieved.
 The Company keeps claimants informed of the progress during the claims process. The
company provides information on when payments, repairs or replacements are
expected to be made, and, if necessary, explains why additional time is required.

 When the company decides to call on outside parties (i.e. loss adjusters, solicitors,
surveyors, etc) it informs claimants of this fact, gives the reasons for this decision and
explains the role that these outside parties will play in processing the claim.
  When a final payment or offer of settlement is made, the company explains to
claimants what the payment or settlement is for and the basis used for the settlement.

 The company documents their claim files to be able to address questions that may arise
concerning the handling and payment of the claim. If the claim is denied, then company states
explicitly to the claimant the policy provision, conditions or exclusion on which the
denial is based.

  If the amount offered is different from the amount claimed, then company explains the reason for
this to the claimant. When the company is not responsible for meeting all or any part of
the claim, it notifies the claimant of this fact and explains why.

COMPLAINTS AND DISPUTE SETTLEMENT


When the claimant files a complaint, the company:

 Acknowledges receipt of the complaint within a reasonable period

23
 Provides claimants with explanations on how their complaints will be handled and on
the procedures to be followed
 Provides information to claimants on internal and external dispute settlement
procedures
 Processes complaints promptly and fairly
 Keeps claimants regularly informed of how their complaints are progressing
 Provides a final response in writing within a reasonable period.

 If the claimant is dissatisfied with the final response that claimant has been sent by the
company, claimant can activate an internal appeals process. Claimant can also appeal to
the dispute settlement procedures available outside the company (for example, the
handling of complaints by the supervisory authorities). In case of a dispute, the claimant
should be informed by the company of the existence of these appeal procedures.

SUPERVISION OF CLAIMS-RELATED SERVICES


The insurance supervisory authorities conduct examinations on claims management services
especially where problems are suspected.

In these cases, the following elements are considered:

 Possible access to non-confidential claims data for all open and closed files within a
specified time frame (e.g. for the current year and the two preceding years)
 Maintenance of sufficient and appropriate information on claims files
 Use of the appropriate type of claim form for the type of insurance
 Proper qualification of the claims department ‘s employees
 Valuation of claims payments per company procedures
 Appropriate tracking of the nature and number of complaints related to claim
management process
 Monitoring of the proportion of claims that result in litigation
 Compliance with procedures
 Regular internal audit practices on claims files
 Appropriate internal claims procedure manuals
 Proper procedure for coding and statistical reporting of losses
 Performance in terms of the speed of claim settlements

MARKET PRACTICES
The public authorities promote the implementation of a benchmark exercise regarding the
claims process or a specific part of this process.

24
3. Accounts Department
Most of us do maintain a written record of our income and expenditure. The idea behind maintaining
such record is to know the correct position regarding income and expenditure. The need for keeping a
record of income and expenditure in a clear and systematic manner has given rise to the subject of
'book-keeping'.

The quantum of money must be adequate in relation to the needs. But mere adequacy of


money will not do one must take care of its proper utilization. For this it would be necessary to
exercise economy and maintain proper books of account. It is possible to increase the amount
of saving through proper management and effective control of the expenses.

At the end of the year the true result of the economic activities of a concern must be made
available otherwise it will not be possible to run the concern. In case of a business concern the
profit or loss at the end of a year must be ascertained, because, the amount of profit must be
adequate in relation to that of investment made in the business. If it is not so or if there is a
loss, it is an indication of some defects existing somewhere in the management of the business.
All such defects need to be detected and analyzed and appropriate measures taken for their
rectification.

But it is only possible, if proper books of accounts are maintained in the business concern. So, the
importance of book keeping to a business is the same as that of fresh air to a man to exist. Without
bookkeeping records a business would meet death, though not instantly, but in a short time.
Moreover, if proper books of accounts are not kept in a business, the amount of profit cannot
be ascertained and it will not be possible to distribute the profit among the owners of the
business. The income tax dues to the Government cannot also be paid. In the absence of books
of accounts misuse or defalcation of money will remain undetected. The owner and other
parties interested will not be able to have any information about the condition of the business.
So Adamjee insurance company maintains its accounting department by keeping eye on this
department need in growing and competitive business market.

FUNCTIONS OF ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT

The basic functions of an accounting department in Adamjee like other insurance companies
are to look after the finances of a company. This can be anything from paying bills to making
sure that the employees that work for the company get paid.

The four main accounting functions are:

25
I. Making Payments

Making sure that all bills and claims are paid by the company, on time and at the least cost
possible. If there is a discount for paying quickly, the accounts department will usually pay the
bills as soon as possible so that the company spends as little money as they possibly can. They
are responsible for all outgoing payments and making sure that what they are paying is correct.

II. Payroll

The accounts department must ensure that the employees are all paid correctly and on time.
They also must make sure that all of the employees are paying the right amount of tax and that
they have not made any mistakes with tax brackets and government payments on behalf of
the employees.

III. Receiving Payments

The accounting department must also receive payments and make sure that these are all
processed correctly. These will all be payments for the services or products the company has
provided and they must ensure that they have paid all relevant tax. There will also be an
element of chasing up payments and making sure that all the payments are received when they
should be.

IV. Budgets

They are also responsible for giving budgets and estimates of what they feel the company
should be spending. These may be split by department or function and they must also predict
budget figures for years to come so that the company knows what it should be spending and
more importantly, charging to customers

ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT OF ADAMJEE INSURANCE COMPANY

Accounts department of Adamjee insurance have divided its duties into different sections.

 Cash Collection Section


 Cash Disbursement Section
 Salary Preparation Section
 Budget Preparation Section
 Agents Commission Section

26
CASH COLLECTION SECTION

For the collection of cash, account department has a cash counter. When a policyholder comes
to pay his premium, they check whether the policyholder can pay his premium or not. If the
policyholder comes within 30 days after the due date, then he is considered as able to pay the
premium otherwise he is not able.

CASH DISBURSEMENT SECTION

For cash disbursement, first the voucher is prepared, and signed by authorized officer, for the
person to whom the payment is made. After these the cashbook is maintained, cheques are
prepared, and these cheques are sent to concerned party. Bank Statement is prepared daily
by the authorized banker regarding total collection and payments of cheques i.e. realization of
cheques. These banks Statements are punched into the computer.

SALARY PREPARATION SECTION

In Account Department Salary of the employees is calculated. Different allowances are offered


to the employees. Loan facilities are available for the employees. Tax is deducted from salary. A
provision of recoveries of the loan is made.

BUDGET PREPARATION SECTION

Budget is prepared annually. Proposed budget is sent to principal office. The funds of different
heads of proposed budget are transferred to zonal office.

COMMISSION SECTION

The commission of business brought by agents is calculated in the Commission Section.


4. Re-Insurance Department
This department is considered with distributing and shredding the risks admitted for insurance
by reinsuring all or a substantial part of such risks with re-insurers. The reinsurance department
grants the company an accommodating capacity enables it to accept easily and quickly
insurance operations with large amounts or risks which it could not have accepted in
the absence of the facilities granted to it through reinsurance and subsequently maintaining the
financial stability of the company about the results of its works. There are two basic methods
of reinsurance:

Facultative Reinsurance

27
In facultative reinsurance, the ceding company cedes and the reinsurer assumes all or part of
the risk assumed by a specified insurance policy. Facultative reinsurance is negotiated
separately for each insurance contract that is reinsured. Facultative reinsurance normally is
purchased by ceding companies for individual risks not covered by their reinsurance treaties,
for amounts more than the monetary limits of their reinsurance treaties and for unusual risks.
Underwriting expenses and personnel costs, are higher relative to premiums written on
facultative business because each risk is individually underwritten and administered. The
ability to separately evaluate each risk reinsured, however, increases the probability that the
underwriter can price the contract to more accurately reflect the risks involved.

Treaty Reinsurance

 It is a method of reinsurance in which the insurer and the reinsurer formulate and execute a
reinsurance contract. The reinsurer then covers all the insurance policies coming within the
scope of that contract. The reinsurance contract may oblige their insurer to accept reinsurance
of all contracts within the scope (known as "obligatory" reinsurance), or it may require the
reinsurer to give the reinsurer the option to reinsure each such contract.

Types of Reinsurance

 Proportional
 Quota share
 Surplus reinsurance

5. Marketing Department

The marketing concept is the philosophy that firms should analyze the needs of their customers
and then make decisions to satisfy those needs, better than the competition. Today most firms
have adopted the marketing concept, but this has not always been the case. In 1776 in The
Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith wrote that the needs of producers should
be considered only with regard to meeting the needs of consumers. While this philosophy is
consistent with the marketing concept, it would not be adopted widely until nearly 200 years
later.

The Marketing Process

Under the marketing concept, the firm must find a way to discover unfulfilled customer needs
and bring to market products that satisfy those needs. The process of doing so
can be modeled in a sequence of steps: the situation is analyzed to identify opportunities, the
strategy is formulated for a value proposition, tactical decisions are made, the plan is
implemented and the results are monitored.

28
 Marketing Mix
Four P's are the parameters that the marketing manager can control, subject to the internal and
external constraints of the marketing environment. The goal is to make decisions that center
the four P's on the customers in the target market to create perceived value and generate
a positive response.

Product Decisions

The term "product" refers to tangible, physical products as well as services. Here are some
examples of the product decisions to be made:

 Brand name
 Functionality 
 Styling
 Quality 
 Safety 
 Packaging
 Repairs and Support
 Warranty 
 Accessories and services

Price Decisions

Some examples of pricing decisions to be made include:

 Pricing strategy (skim, penetration, etc.)


 Suggested retail price 
 Volume discounts and wholesale pricing
 Cash and early payment discounts
 Seasonal pricing
 Bundling
 Price flexibility
 Price discrimination

Distribution (Place) Decisions

Distribution is about getting the products to the customer. Some examples of distribution
decisions include:
29
 Distribution channels
 Market coverage (inclusive, selective, or exclusive distribution)
 Specific channel members
 Inventory management
 Warehousing
 Distribution centers
 Order processing
 Transportation
 Reverse logistics

Promotion Decisions

In the context of the marketing mix, promotion represents the various aspects of marketing
communication, that is, the communication of information about the
product with the goal of generating a positive customer response. Marketing communicationde
cisions include:

 Promotional strategy (push, pull, etc.)


 Advertising
 Personal selling & sales force.
 Sales promotion.
 Public relations & publicity 
 Marketing communications budget

Limitations of the Marketing Mix Framework 


The marketing mix framework was particularly useful in the early days of
themarketingconcept when physical products represented a larger portion of the economy. Tod
ay, with marketing more integrated into organizations and with a wider variety of products and
markets, some authors have attempted to extend its usefulness by proposing a fifth, such as
packaging, people, process, etc. Today however, the marketing mix most commonly remains
based on the 4 P's. Despite its limitations and perhaps because of its simplicity, the use of this
framework remains strong and many marketing textbooks have been organized around it.

30
6. Human Resource Department

Human Resource Department is the most important department on which the internal system
of whole organization is based. It motivates the employees and takes in account the incentives
and tactics required to keep the qualified and experienced employees with them and to make
them work in the way organization wants. We can sum up it as under:

Window Takaful

Adamjee Life – Window Takaful Operations (Adamjee Family Takaful) has partnered with
multiple Islamic banks to distribute Shariah compliant/ Riba free investment and protection
solutions to their customers.

Family Takaful is a substitute for conventional life insurance which follows Islamic injunctions
and abhors any kind of speculation and outlaws uncertainty (Gharar) and usury (i.e. interest, or
Riba). Takaful is structured to avoid these prohibited elements, introducing elements of mutual
help (Tawaun) and donation (Tabaru).

Policyholders’ premiums — which are treated as donations — make up a fund from which any
insurance obligations are met. Takaful operators manage funds and settle obligations in return
for an agency fee (Wakala fee), a profit and loss share (Modaraba share), or both. Any surplus
in the fund belongs to the policyholders. If there is a shortfall in the fund, the operators make
an interest-free loan (Qard-e-Hasan) to finance the deficit.

Some of their partner banks of Window Takaful branch are:

Organizational Structure

My Experience at Adamjee Insurance Company:


At the end, I am going to share my internship experience in Adamjee Insurance Company. I
have done Internship at Motor Claims department of Adamjee Insurance, branch located at

89
Eden center Jail Road. My heartiest prayers for Senior Officer of claim department Sir Farooq
who dealt me like his young brother and taught me a lot and helped me in every difficulty.

I have learned a lot. Some of my working experience is described below:

First day when I joined Adamjee, I get the basic knowledge about insurance industry and done
a little practical work. My supervisor sir Farooq gave me information about claim department
and gave me information how the claim is handled

First, he taught me the procedure of motor claim which is as follow:

 Intimation
 Appointment of surveyor
 Survey at workshop
 Preliminary report
 Interim visit
 Final inspection
 Final report
 Check the report
 Approval sheet
 Check issued from finance department

I also saw and gained knowledge to fill the claim forms and check different files of motor claim
and check different documents that are important for the motor claim procedure which are as
follow

 Workshop estimates (detail of labor and parts)


 Final bill
 Copy of Insured CNIC
 Copy of Driving license
 Copy of Motor Registration book
 Insurance policy
 Claim form
 Satisfaction note

In case of theft or total loss of motor following document are necessary:

 Letter to motor registration authority


 Anti -car lifting cell
 Police report
 Original registration book
 Original excise file
 Duplicate key
 Transfer letter

90
 Letter of subrogation

I also segregate the files and make files by writing their reference no, vehicle registration no
and claim number. I also saw and check claim files of motor insurance. Then they gave me a
task to enter all the previous record and maintain it in the system, and told me it is your whole
task during six weeks’ internship. One day I was assigned to segregate the checks of surveyors
and workshop dealers. I also assign to enter the files in the system by their date and claim no. I
also learned that how to determine for work hard to achieve destination.

Daily Lecture on Policy Jackets:

While working at Adamjee insurance company I and my other internee colleagues get one hour
lecture on policy jackets conducted by Sir. Haroon Iqbal (Head of claims department of Lahore
division) from 1:00 to 2:00 PM. By that daily lecture at policy jackets we learn the Cover,
Exclusions and value addition of every policy jacket. Sir Haroon Iqbal not only gives us the
academic lectures but also trained us for future interview questions and motivated us and

Chapter #06

Recommendations and conclusion

Recommendations to Adamjee Insurance Company

 Internees should be provided with the rules and regulations before starting his
internship which he must follow during internship.
 The systems (PC’s) should be speedier.
 There should be a work of quality not or quantity.

92
 The internees should be rotated in all departments to get the basic knowledge and
expertise of each department’s operations.
 All departments of the company should be in one building because it’s difficult and
time consuming to go to head office or HR for any work.
 Company can deduct some amount of food from the salary of the employees so that it
can provide healthy food to their employees because many of the employees eat from
outside and it is very unhygienic.

Conclusion

I concluded that every organization must give opportunities for internships for students
