INTRODUCTION TO INSURANCE
DEFINTIONS:
Insurance can be defined into a number of ways. Some of them are as follows:
"A contract between an insurance company and a person or group which provides for a money
payment in case of covered loss, accident or death".
"Insurance is a contract between two parties whereby one party agrees to undertake the risk of
another in exchange for consideration known as premium and promises to pay a fixed sum of
money to the other party on happening of an uncertain event (death) or after the expiry of a
certain period in case of life insurance or to indemnify the other party on happening of an
uncertain event in case of general insurance. The party bearing the risk is known as the 'insurer'
or “assurer” and the party whose risk is covered is known as the “insured” or “assured”.
"It is a system whereby contributions are received from insuring public and pool of money is
created from where the claims are paid to few unfortunate persons who died during the insurance
period".
HISTORY OF INSURANCE
Insurance began as a way of reducing the risk of traders, as early as 2000 BC in China and 1750
BC in Babylon. Life insurance dates only to ancient Rome; "burial clubs" covered the cost of
members' funeral expenses and helped survivors monetarily. Modern life insurance started in
17th century England, originally as insurance for traders, merchants, ship owners and
underwriters met to discuss deals at Lloyd's Coffee House, predecessor to the famous Lloyd's of
London. Thus from Lloyd's of London insurance begins.
Page | 9
PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE
In every sort of contract there are some principles which must be followed in order to accomplish
the contract. Following are the principles of every insurance contract.
principle of indemnity
Indemnity means that the insurers agree to compensate in the event of loss such that the insured
is left substantially in the same position financially after the loss as she was before it but the
insured cannot profit from a loss.
principle of contribution
If more than one policy covers the same risk it is not possible for the insured to claim on both
and make a gain. In this situation each of the insurers involved would be required to contribute a
proportionate amount of the loss - this is known as the principle of contribution.
principle of subrogation
In the event of a claim and where the insurers have fully indemnified the insured, the insured's
original interests can be taken over by the insurers this is known as the principle of subrogation.
For example, where a third party causes damage to the insured's property, after the
insurers have settled the claim they can pursue the third party for the cost of the
damage.
principle of average
Underinsurance can have serious implications when insuring a property.
Underinsurance means that the replacement value of the property or the value of the contents has
been understated on the proposal, thereby lowering the premiums paid.
The principle of average means that the amount of the claim payment will be reduced
proportionality if the property was not insured to the full amount of its replacement cost.
Page | 10
principle of proximate cause
In the event of a claim the insurers will want to ascertain if the cause of the loss was an insured
risk. The principle of proximate cause relates to this and is define as: The efficient cause
which brings about a loss with no other intervening cause which breaks the chain of events.
insurable interest
You must have an interest (insurable interest) in the thing insured. If you could insure something
which you did not have an insurable interest in (ownership of) it would be possible to gain in the
event of another's loss!

LIFE INSURANCE:
Now we will discuss this in detail as this is the main point of discussion.
Life insurance may be divided into two basic classes temporary and permanent or following
subclasses term, universal, whole life and endowment life insurance.
In the early 30s, under the inspiration of the Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Insurance
companies along with shipping and airline industries made their debut.
In 1932 in Calcutta, Mr. Ghulam Mohammed, who later became Governor General of Pakistan,
established an insurance company with H.H. Aga Khan and H.H. Nawab of Bhopal. The
company was named Eastern Federal Union Insurance Company Ltd. It was registered in
Calcutta and operated in undivided India and Burma. Its business was both General and Life
Insurance.
At the time of independence of Pakistan in 1947, EFU (as the company was called), found a new
country and rapidly established itself as a progressive and innovative insurance company. It
provided the emerging insurance industry the leadership, the manpower and the drive needed to
grow in a situation where at that time three-fourths of insurance business was held by foreign
companies.

1961 "FATHER OF INSURANCE
1961, EFU had become the flag bearer of Pakistan's insurance industry on the world stage, and
the largest life company in Afro-Asian countries (excluding Japan) under the leadership of our
late chairman Mr. Roshen Ali Bhimjee. It remained so until 1972 when Life Insurance in
Pakistan was nationalized.

EFU Life is the pioneer in introducing the following products and features in
Pakistan.
LIFE INSURANCE
Life Insurance is different from other insurance in the sense that, here, the subject matter of
insurance is the life of a human being. The insurer will pay the fixed amount of insurance at the
time of death or at the expiry of a certain period.
At present, life insurance enjoys maximum scope because life is the most important property of
an individual.
Each and every person requires insurance.
This insurance provides protection to the family at the premature death or gives an adequate
amount at the old age when earning capacities are reduced.
Under personal insurance, a payment is made at the accident.
Page | 17
The insurance is not only a protection but is a sort of investment because a certain sum is
returnable to the insured at the death or the expiry of a period.
PERSONAL INSURANCE
The personal insurance includes insurance of human life which may suffer a loss due to death,
accident, and disease Therefore, personal insurance is further sub-classified into life insurance,
personal accident insurance, and health insurance.
PROPERTY INSURANCE
Under the property insurance property of person/persons are insured against a certain specified
risk. The risk may be fire or marine perils, theft of property or goods damage to property at the
accident.
MARINE INSURANCE
Marine insurance provides protection against the loss of marine perils. The marine perils are;
collision with a rock or ship, attacks by enemies, fire, and captured by pirates, etc. these perils
cause damage, destruction or disappearance of the ship and cargo and non-payment of freight. So
marine insurance insures ship (Hull), cargo and freight.
Previously only certain nominal risks were insured but now the scope of marine insurance had
been divided into two parts; Ocean Marine Insurance and Inland Marine Insurance.
The former insures only the marine perils while the latter covers inland perils which may arise
with the delivery of cargo (gods) from the go-down of the insured and may extend up to the
receipt of the cargo by the buyer (importer) at his go down.
Page | 18
FIRE INSURANCE
LIABILITY INSURANCE
The general Insurance also includes liability insurance whereby the insured is liable to pay the
damage of property or to compensate for the loss of persona; injury or death.
This insurance is seen in the form of fidelity insurance, automobile insurance,
and machine insurance, etc.
GUARANTEE INSURANCE
The guarantee insurance covers the loss arising due to dishonesty, disappearance, and disloyalty
of the employees or second party. The party must be a party to the contract.
His failure causes loss to the first party. For example, in export insurance, the insurer will
compensate the loss at the failure of the importers to pay the amount of debt.
SOCIAL INSURANCE
The social insurance is to provide protection to the weaker sections of the society who are unable
to pay the premium for adequate insurance.
Pension plans, disability benefits, unemployment benefits, sickness insurance,
and industrial insurance are the various forms of social insurance.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF ALL THE DEPARTMENTS
3.7 MARKETING DEPARTMENT: EFU life has a marketing team which focuses on
providing life insurance coverage to corporate entities and bank clients. EFU LIFE recently
launched a mass media campaign after a gap of almost 5 years. Although EFU's previous
campaign had a serious tone, the new approach is lighthearted and humorous.
The campaign was launched with a thematic ad; this was followed by three additional ads for
marriage plan, education plan and retirement plan, which according to EFU are its most
important products.
A word from the client-Aman Hussain, head of marketing, EFU life
On the objective of the campaign: The purpose of the new campaign is to educate consumers
about the numerous benefits of life insurance that they can avail during their lifetime as well as
about the financial security it offers to one's family when one is not around. We want to tell our
consumers that life insurance, because of all its benefits, should be essential part of everyone's
life.
On launching a mass media campaign after almost 5years: we launched campaign for EFU
life at the end of 2008. We also felt that after 20 years of existence and being the leader in the
private life insurance sector, our brand at this stage could do with a refreshed look and feel while
keeping the original brand values intact.
The new tagline "LIFE mein Kamal Karna Zaroori Hai” is an attempt in that direction which
elaborates on our earlier tagline " Zaroori Hai" which was launched in 2008.
on adopting a lighthearted and humorous tone:
Consumer generally perceive life insurance as a very serious and complicated proposition. We
have consciously moved away from the traditional methods of life insurance advertising that
promote fear -appeal and rather we are focusing entirely on the positive and celebrations in life.”
A word from the agency –Kamran khan, group account director, JWT
Pakistan
Page | 27
on the linking life insurance with success and achievement: "Life insurance is deemed as a
negative term which is associated mostly with death. Insurance companies are seen as the as the
bad guys when in essence they are selling you a level of future security. By his/her family,
friends as well as the world at large. A planned future is the possibility
of a successful one and embracing that is for the smart ones.”
3.2 CLAIMS DEPARTMENT: It is quite tough and complicated process in which insured
do not have any participation other than just providing the exact information of claim. Staff
should treat it with full attention as claim produced of insurance company established its
goodwill in market, and helps to generate more and more business.
Guidance, expertise, knowledge of when to bring someone else in, all provide an important
service to client.
