industry. Insurance plays a key role in stabilizing the economy, trade and commerce Insurance
coverage can be defined as a contract in the form of a financial protection policy. This policy
covers the monetary risks of an individual due to unpredictable contingencies. The insured is
the policyholder whereas the insurer is the insurance-providing company/the insurance
carrier/the underwriter. The insurers provide financial coverage or reimbursement in many
cases to the policyholder.

The policyholder pays a certain amount called ‘premium’ to the insurance company
against which the latter provides insurance cover. The insurer assures that it shall cover the
policyholder’s losses subject to certain terms and conditions. Premium payment decides the

Important Of SBI general insurance

Life is unpredictable, and that’s exactly why you need insurance. No matter how efficiently
and intelligently you save and invest your money for your future goals, one adverse event and
all the planning can go kaput. When such unforeseen events strike, it’s insurance that helps
bring back balance to your life. So, let’s take a closer look at the role and importance of
insurance in having a stable lifestyle.

But before that, it is important to understand what exactly insurance is and how the whole
system works. An insurance policy is essentially a legal contract between you and your
insurance provider. When you buy a policy, you promise to pay a small amount of money at
fixed intervals of time to your insurer (known as premium amount). In return, if you suffer a
loss that’s covered by your insurance policy, your insurer offers you financial assistance by
compensating you for the damages/losses suffered (as per the terms outlined in the policy).

The most common types of individual insurance policies include life insurance, health, motor
and home insurance. Businesses also need certain insurance policies to insure themselves
against specific types of risks they face.

The importance of insurance in India especially is undeniable and immense. Find out how
buying an insurance can change your life for the good and why you should not delay buying it
any further:

1) For a sense of security:

When the earning member of a family passes away, life gets extremely tough for the
remaining family members. In such a situation, a life insurance policy can make a whole lot of
difference. Without insurance, the family might eat into its old savings for their survival, or
depend on others for financial support. But if the deceased had insured himself by way of
having a life insurance policy in his name, the family would rightfully get a financial lifeline
from the insurer in the form of either a one-time corpus of money or regular payout. This
gives a sense of peace and security in the mind of the policyholders that the future of their
families is secured even in their absence.

Promotes savings culture:

8
Besides providing you a safety net, insurance also offers an investment opportunity. In certain
types of life policies, the premium payment acts like systematic savings. And the policyholder
gets a lump sum amount at the time of the maturity of the policy.

2) Healthcare support:

Health Insurance policies are extremely important in today’s time when medical costs are
seeing an upward spiral. Adequate medical insurance for you and your family can compensate
you for the expenses incurred from the treatment of various health conditions and help you
absorb any financial shock.

3) Protecting valuables:

Life and health insurance are a must today, but the importance of general insurance is also no
less. General insurance helps us protect the things we value, like our houses, cars, gazettes,
appliances, valuables, etc. From any kind of risk such as theft, fire, natural calamity, among
others. We can choose a suitable policy for the asset we want to protect and safeguard our
finances against any unforeseen repair or replacement expenses.

4) Additional benefits:

Apart from paying for the losses and damages suffered, different types of insurance policies
can offer different kinds of supplementary benefits. For instance, a motor insurancepolicy can
offer benefits like free roadside assistance, or premium paid towards life and health insurance
policies can help you save taxes.

5) Legal compliance:

In certain situations, buying insurance is mandatory and not doing so can invite legal troubles
for you. For example, all vehicle owners in India compulsorily need to buy a thirdparty
liability-only motor insurance policy. It covers any financial loss or damage caused by the
insured vehicle to a third person or property. Similarly, certain businesses are required by law
to have insurance in order to protect their workers’ compensation.

What is the importance of general insurance covers?

While life insurance still remains a priority for most people, general insurance policies are not
far behind. Owing to the risks posed by natural calamities, diseases, medical emergencies, and
accidents, general insurance covers is something that can provide a blanket of financial
protection from them. Accidents and misfortunes cannot be predicted, but it is in our hands to

9
make sure that we are prepared. That is why investing in the right general insurance covers is
something that should be on the top of your to-do list.

transact in all kinds of general insurance business in India. Thereafter the major development
took place when Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd was set up in 1907.

14
After 10 years of attaining independence in 1957, the General Insurance Council, a wing of
the Indian association of insurance was created. The council framed a code of conduct to
ensure that fair business practices are being carried out in India in the general insurance sector
In 1968, the Insurance Act was amended to regulate investments and set minimum solvency
margins. After that, a tariff advisory committee was set up.

The General Insurance Business in India was nationalized by the General Insurance Business
(Nationalization) Act in 1972(GIBNA). The Government of India through the nationalization
scheme bought 55 shares of the 55 Indian Insurance companies along with the undertakings of
52 insurers carrying on general Insurance business. The National Insurance Company Ltd., the
New India Assurance Company Ltd., the Oriental Insurance Company Ltd., and the United
India Insurance Company Ltd. were formed through the amalgamation of 107 insurers. The
General Insurance Corporation of India (GICI) was founded in 1971 and began operations on
January 1, 1973.

the 22nd of November 1972 under the Companies Act,1956. It was declared a private
company limited by shares. GIC was established to supervise, control, and carry out all the

by an amendment to GIBNA. GIC was renotified as the Indian Reinsurer in November 2000,
and its supervisory function over the four subsidiaries was terminated by administrative
instruction. It ceased to be a holding company of its subsidiaries on March 21, 2003, when the

Stamp dedicated to the State Bank of India in 2005

Share of the Bank of Bengal, issued 13 May 1876

Seal of Imperial Bank of India

The roots of State Bank of India lie in the first decade of the 19th century when the Bank of
Calcutta later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June 1806. The Bank of
Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of
Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July
1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint stock companies and were the
result of royal charters. These three banks received the exclusive right to issue paper
currency till 1861 when, with the Paper Currency Act, the right was taken over by the
Government of India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the re-
organised banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of
India remained a joint-stock company but without Government participation. Pursuant to the
provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve Bank of

16
India, which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial
Bank of India. On 1 July 1955, the Imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India. In
2008, the Government of India acquired the Reserve Bank of India's stake in SBI so as to
remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is the country's banking regulatory authority.
In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act. This made
eight banks that had belonged to princely states into subsidiaries of SBI. This was at the time
of the First Five Year Plan, which prioritised the development of rural India. The government
integrated these banks into the State Bank of India system to expand its rural outreach. In
1963 SBI merged State Bank of Jaipur (est. 1943) and State Bank of Bikaner (est.1944).
SBI has acquired local banks in rescues. The first was the Bank of Bihar (est. 1911), which
SBI acquired in 1969, together with its 28 branches. The next year SBI acquired National
Bank of Lahore (est. 1942), which had 24 branches. Five years later, in 1975, SBI acquired
Krishnaram Baldeo Bank, which had been established in 1916 in Gwalior State, under the
patronage of Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia. The bank had been the Dukan Pichadi, a small
moneylender, owned by the Maharaja. The new bank's first manager was Jall N.
Broacha. In 1985, SBI acquired the Bank of Cochin in Kerala, which had 120 branches. SBI
was the acquirer as its affiliate, the State Bank of Travancore, already had an extensive
network in Kerala.

17
State Bank of India logo was designed by NID in 1971 designed the SBI logo in 1971
There was, even before it actually happened, a proposal to merge all the associate banks into
SBI to create a single very large bank and streamline operations.
The first step towards unification occurred on 13 August 2008 when State Bank of Saurashtra
merged with SBI, reducing the number of associate state banks from seven to six. On 19 June
2009, the SBI board approved the absorption of State Bank of Indore, in which SBI held
98.3%. (Individuals who held the shares prior to its takeover by the government held the
balance of 1.7%.)
The acquisition of State Bank of Indore added 470 branches to SBI's existing network of
branches. Also, following the acquisition, SBI's total assets approached ₹10 trillion. The total
assets of SBI and the State Bank of Indore were ₹9,981,190 million as of March 2009. The
process of merging of State Bank of Indore was completed by April 2010, and the SBI ndore
branches started functioning as SBI branches on 26 August 2010. On 7 October 2013,
Arundhati Bhattacharya became the first woman to be appointed Chairperson of the bank.
Mrs. Bhattacharya received an extension of two years of service to merge into SBI the five
remaining associate banks.

CHAPTER NO 3

Review of literature of SBI general insurance

1. Manish Mittal and Arunna Handmade (2005): they found that higher profitability is the

only major parameter for evaluating banking sector performance from the shareholders point of
view. It is for the banks to strike a balance between commercial and social objectives. They

found that public sector banks are less profitable than private sector banks. Foreign banks top
the

list in terms of net profitability. Private sector banks earn higher non-interest income than public

sector banks, because these banks offer more and more fee based services to business houses or
corporate sector. Thus there is urgent need for public sector banks to provide such services to
stand in competition with private sector banks.

2.I.M. Pandey (2005): An efficient allocation of capital is the most important financial function

in modern times. It involves decision to commit the firm's funds to the long term assets. The

firm’s value will increase if investments are profitable and add to the shareholders wealth.

Financial decisions are important to influence the firm’s growth and to involve commitment of

large amount of funds. The types of investment decisions are expansion of existing business,

expansion of new business and replacement and modernization. The capital budgeting decisions
of a firm has to decide the way in which the capital project will be financed. The financing or
capital structure decision. The assets of a company can be financed either by increasing the
owners claims on the creditors’ claims. The various means of financing represent the financial
structure of an enterprise.

19
2. Medhat Tarawneh (2006) financial performance is a dependent variable and measured by

Return on Assets (ROA) and the intent income size. The independent variables are the size of

banks as measured by total assets of banks, assets management measured by asset utilization

ratio (Operating income divided by total assets) operational efficiency measured by the
operating efficiency ratio (total operating expenses divided by net income)

3. Vasant desai (2007): The Reserve Bank of India plays a very vital role. It is known as the

banker’s bank. The Reserve Bank of India is the head of all banks. All the money formulations

of commercial banks are done under the Reserve Bank of India. The RBI performs all the typical
functions of a good central bank as it is involved in planning the economy of the country. The

main function is that the RBI should control their credit. It is mandatory for the Bank to maintain
the external value of the rupee. Major function is that it should also control the currency.

4. K. C. Sharma (2007)

Banking has entered the electronic era. This has been due to reforms introduced under the
WTO

compliances. Private sector banks have been permitted to open their shops in the country. These
banks are either foreign or domestic banks with foreign partnerships. Some of them have been
set up by Development Financial Institutions in order to embrace concept of universal banking,
as practiced in advanced countries. The private sector on the other hand have began their high

tech operations from the initial stage and made the elite of the country to taste the best banking
practices that happens in the western countries. They have foreseen the digital world and have

seen the emerging electronic market, which has encouraged them to have a better customer

service strategy that would be able to deliver the things as per customer’s requirement.

5. Hr Machiraju international publishers (2009): Efficiency can be considered from

technical, economical or empirical considerations. Technical efficiency implies increase in

output. In the case of banks defining inputs and output is difficult and hence certain ratios of

costs to assets or operating revenues are used to measure banks efficiency. In the Indian context

20
public sector banks accounts for a major portion of banking assets, it is necessary to evaluate

the financial decisions of these banks and compare them with private sector banks to know the

quality of financial decisions on its impact or performance of banks in terms of efficiency,

profitability, competitiveness and other economic variables.

6. DR.S. Gurusamy (2009): One of the key elements of importance for shaping the financial

system of a country is the pension fund. The fund contributes to the development of social

security systems of a country is the pension fund. The fund contributes to the development of

social security system of a country. A fund is established by private employers, governments,

or unions for the payment of retirement benefits. Pension funds are designed to provide for

poverty relief, consumption smoothing etc. Pension funds not only provide compensation for

the loyal service rendered in the past, but in a broader significance. Works as a measure of socio

economic justice. Pension system refers to the framework of arrangement under which

individuals gain specified entitlements to a regular income in retirement called pension.

7. Dangwal and kapoor (2010) also undertook the study on financial performance of

nationalized banks in India and assessed the growth index value of various parameters through

overall profitability indices. They found that out of 19 banks, four banks had excellent

performance, five banks had good performance and six banks had poor performance. Thus the

performance of nationalized banks differ widely

8. Prasana Chandra (2010): Fundamental of financial management covers all the aspects of

the subject from the basics overview of the financial environment to the financial analysis and

financial planning. The basic consists of forms of business organization which gives detailed

information about the financial management of the organization. After the analysis part

9. Jha DK and D S Sarangi (2011): The financial performance of seven public sector and

private sector banks during the period 2009-10. They used three sets of ratio, operating

performance ratio, financial ratio and Efficiency ratio. The study revealed that Axis bank was

on the top of these banks followed by ICICI, BOT, PNB, SBI, IDBI and HDFC.

10.Neeru Mundrai, Kamni Tandon, Nidhi Malhotra (2011) excel books found that there is

significant impact on the SBI’s performance due to entry of new private sector banks as the new

banks are profit oriented institutions while traditional banks are operating with the shackles of

social responsibility towards the society. The other reasons that can be attributed are slow

technological up gradation, poor staffing and employment practices which affect long term

profitability of public sector banks. The study revealed that profitability of SBI is lower than

that of private sector banks even predicting of private sector banks (business per employee) is

higher than state banks.

11.Fernando Ferreng (2012) it is generally agreed that recent economic crisis intensified

worldwide competition among financial institution. This competition has direct impact on how

bank deal with their customer and achieve its objectives performance evaluation of banks is the

key function for improving banks performance. Banks profitability and success to a large extent

depends on bank branch financial performance

Types of insurance

Life is full of uncertainties. Unexpected situations can unsettle even the most well-
thought-out plans and make life disrupted and chaotic.

Insurance can make a huge difference when uncertainty stares at you. Insurance coverage can
act as a hedge against the risks posed by unpredictability.

There are different types of insurance coverages. There are life insurance policies that offer
financial protection to your loved ones in case of your unfortunate death. There are also
policies that protect the assets and property.

It is always beneficial to know different types of insurance policies as such an understanding


helps you choose the one that aligns with your needs the most.

Types of insurance in India

Insurance is a contract between an insurance company and an individual. It can be divided into
two broad categories:

35
• Life Insurance

• General Insurance

• Let us delve a little deeper into each of them.

Life Insurance: A life insurance policy will protect your loved ones in case of an
unfortunate event involving you. It covers your life and in case of unfortunate death the family
members will receive financial assistance. The sum assured will be paid to the nominee
mentioned by the insured in the policy. You have the flexibility of choosing the policy period,
the sum assured and the payout option based on your financial needs and preferences. Some
plans also come with an element of saving and investment, making it easier for you to build
wealth.

Different types of insurance policies are as follows:

Term life insurance: This type of insurance covers your life for a specific period. It is
the most basic and affordable insurance policy that will secure the financial future of your
loved ones. You pay a low premium and enjoy a high sum assured. In case of an unfortunate
death within the policy period, the loved ones will receive the sum assured according to the
payout option chosen at the time of purchase of the policy.

Whole Life insurance: Also referred to as traditional life insurance, the whole life
insurance plan will offer coverage for the life of the insured individual. It does not have a
restriction on a specific number of years. It will also offer to pay a death benefit. The maturity
age for the plan is 100 years and it comes with a savings component. This helps accrue a cash
value through the policy term. If the individual outlives the maturity age, then the plan will
become matured endowment.

36
Unit-Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP): A unit-linked insurance plan will offer insurance
and investment in one contract. Your premium will be distributed towards investment and
insurance. It will be invested in different market-linked equity and debt instruments. ULIPs
offer high flexibility and also allow you to choose the premium allocation as per your risk
appetite and financial requirements.

Endowment Plans: An endowment plan will cover you from uncertainties of life but will
also allow you to save over a specific period. On maturity, the policyholder will receive the
lump sum amount in case of survival. In case of death, the sum assured will be paid to the
family members of the policyholder.

Child Plans: You can secure the life goals of your child through child plans. It is a life
insurance plan that will make it easier for you to achieve long-term goals like higher education
and the marriage of your child, even if you are no longer around. The plan is a combination of
insurance and savings and will help plan the financial future of your child. The amount
received at the time of maturity can be used to meet the financial needs of your child.

Pension Plans: The pension plan is also referred to as a retirement plan and it is an
investment plan that will allow you to accumulate a part of the savings over an extended
period. You can easily handle the uncertainties after retirement through a pension plan. It will
ensure that you continue to receive a regular flow of income. Hence, you can create a financial
cushion for life after retirement, where you contribute a certain amount regularly until you
retire. Post-retirement, this amount will be given back to you as a pension at regular intervals.

health, home, business, motor, and more. The policies offer varying coverage and financial

Documentation and claim settlement

Claim Process of General Insurance

General insurance policies or non-life insurance plans are taken to secure cars, bikes,
property, etc. The claim settlement process is a service that is very important to the
policyholder as well as the insurer. Claim settlement in general insurance can make the
policyholder stay with the insurer. It is a process where the policyholder claims financial
support from the insurer. Claim Settlement in general insurance is offered only after the due
process gets completed. The insurance companies need to offer an easy settlement process
because they want to stay ahead in the market.

cashless car insurance via taking their damaged car to a network garage. Claim amount
would be directly settled between insurance company and garage.

Car insurance Reimbursement Claim - If you take the car to a non-network garage for
repairing, then you have to settle the bill directly with garage. However, the money will be
reimbursed to policyholder when they make a claim with bills.

SBI Health insurance claim process

SBI claims can be of different types based on the hospital in which you are getting the
treatment. If it’s part of SBI's network hospitals, you can get a “Cashless claim” in which
insurance company directly pays the bills to the hospital. But if your choice of hospital is not
part of their network, then you have to pay the bills and apply for reimbursement claim.
Here’s a brief process for both types of claims

1 Cashless Claims

Inform the Hospital Desk All n claims:

Cashless Claims network hospitals have an insurance desk. You can submit your policy copy
(even soft copy works), ID proof, initial diagnosis report and the insurance desk will request
the insurance company for “pre-authorization”. In case of planned treatments, you need to do
this process 2 days before hospitalization.

2 Insurer’s decision

Based on the provided documents, insurance company approve the claim and the hospital will
start the treatment and they will co-ordinate with insurer for the treatment costs. In case of

49
Cashless claim rejection, you can still go ahead with the treatment. In this case, you will need
to pay the bills initially and can file for a reimbursement claim later.

3 Discharge

If your cashless claim is approved, at the time of discharge, the insurance company will do the
final settlement with the hospital and once that is sorted, you are good to go.

1 Reimbursement Claims

Inform the insurance company

For any planned treatments, you need to inform the insurance company 2 days before
hospitalisation. In case of emergency, you can inform within 24 hours of admission. Insurance
company will acknowledge the intimation.

2 Hospitalization

You need to submit an insurance claim form along with original copies of hospital bills,
doctor consultation reports, and diagnostic reports.

3 File the claim

Within 30 days post discharge, you can initiate the claim online or at any of the registered
offices of the insurance company. You need to fill a claim form and attach all the reports and
bills.

4 Insurer’s decision

as per policy terms and conditions.

protect the insured from a loss. A document is a legal contract between the insured and the
insurer.

personal and corporate policies such as auto, home, accidental death and dismemberment, and
life and general liability coverage.

This article will offer a deep dive into the insurance sector of India.

Life Insurance Companies Performance

Over the previous two decades. Indias insurance market has grown at an outstanding rate,
owing to increased private sector engagement and improved distribution capacities, as well as
significant advancements in operational efficiencies.

Life insurance providers in India provided premiums from the new businesses of around INR
2.78 trillion (-USD 38 billion) in the financial year 2021-22, up by 7.49% from last year. At
the same time, private insurance companies grew by around 16.29%. Private insurance
companies contributed approximately 33.8% of the markets new business premium in the
financial year 2021-22, with the famous LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India) accounting
for the rest amount.

58
In the financial year 2020-21, the Life Insurance Sector in India posted a gross premium
amount of roughly INR 5.73 trillion (-USD 81.3 billion), which shows a 12.75% increase over
the prior year, with private insurers accounting for around 33.7% of overall premium insured
by the industry.

Non-Life Insurance Companies Performance

Along with life insurance providers, the non-life insurance sector has also shown tremendous
growth over the years. Non-life insurance companies consisting of general insurers,
standalone medical insurers, as well as speciality insurers increased overall direct premiums
by roughly 5.19% in the financial year 2021-22.

In this same year, car insurance contributed to around 34.1% of the overall non-life insurance

insurance increased by 13.3%, whereas the GDPI for liability insurance and fire insurance
increased by 16.4% and 28.1%, respectively.

The Past of the Insurance Sector in India

The insurance market in the nation has been quickly expanding, with overall insurance
premiums rising at a rapid pace when compared to foreign peers. However, if you look at the
past of the insurance industry in India, here are some previous challenges that are now being
addressed:

Lack of Penetration

This goes hand-in-hand with the lack of insurance knowledge that was prevalent in the
country. Insurance penetration can be defined as a measure of a country’s insurance sector’s
potential and performance. It is computed as a proportion of total insurance premiums to the
overall GDP. The insurance penetration in India increased from around 2.71% in the year
2001 to about 3.76% in 2019. However, when you match it with other Asian countries such as
Malaysia, China, and Thailand, this expansion can be substantially lower. This is something
which is actively being worked upon by the Indian government.

The Present-day scenario of the Insurance Sector in India

With the advent of technology, more customers are going digital for their insurance needs.
The young generation understands the importance of insurance. In fact, it is most likely to get

59
one to cover themselves and their families than the older generation. They are more aware of
the importance of saving money. They know that unforeseen circumstances could arise at any
time in life and increase their risk of financial ruin. The number of companies that provide you
with the ability to purchase a policy online has grown substantially in recent years. This is
largely due to the fact that its cheaper and easier than using traditional methods such as
visiting a local insurance providers office and browsing through their catalogue of insurance
solutions.

Here are the recent trends in the Indian insurance market:

Standardised Products

A mix of technology and globalisation has ushered in an era of increased knowledge of pure
risk coverage, and the desire for simple, no-frills propositions has undoubtedly aided the
markets growth in insurance penetration. Most insurance providers offer insurance brochures
on their websites. Many people often consider the insurance brochure as an important part of
any insurance policy. This is because the information provided in it was a sign that the policy
was acceptable for use. It often contains details about the benefits and covers provided for the
customer as well as other essential information related to the purpose of buying this type of
policy.

Rising Web Aggregators

The insurance industry is one thats traditionally overlooked in digital marketing. However,
with the rising share of web aggregators within the online insurance space, insurance
providers are now closer to the customers than ever. Web aggregators are now accounting for
more than 30% of online digital origination in India. They have been a boon to consumers
looking for information on their specific needs.

Wellness Products

In this competitive market, insurance companies are trying to ensure that they have a
competitive edge over their competitors. This is why they are increasing the Scope their
benefits. To promote their plans, insurers, mainly health insurance providers, are now
providing wellness benefits to the policyholders. Policyholders can get a good amount of
discount on their premiums by maintaining a proper health routine. Also, many companies are
offering health coaches and other similar programs to help insured individuals get out of their
bad healthcare routine.

60
Types of Life Insurance Plans offered by Indian Companies:

The COVID epidemic has boosted insurance penetration and raised insurance awareness.
Along with that, it has improved the demand for insurance products, particularly health and
life coverage. With this rising demand, the industry has witnessed a substantial increase in the
number of policyholders all over the nation. Apart from that, with all new types of life
insurance plans like TROP, child insurance plans and ULIP policies released, the life
insurance sector of India has considerably expanded.

Types of Non-Life Insurance plans offered by Indian Companies :

The explosion of digitisation has made it easier for us to buy insurance in India. More
companies are looking towards standardising their products and making them more user-
friendly for the consumers convenience. Customers are buying a lot of these plans at higher
rates than before. This has led people to start seeing what kind of policies are available. Apart
from mandatory plans like auto insurance, other general coverages like liability and fire
insurance demands have also increased by a significant margin.

Types of Health Insurance plans offered by Indian Companies

Recently, the premium level and the number of subscribers in Indias health insurance business
have increased. One of the primary factors would be the significant engagement of
government-aided schemes. PM-JAY, among other government initiatives, are increasing
insurance coverage in India. In addition, private health insurers have strengthened their
attempts to broaden their coverage. Alongside, they feature specialised offerings for seniors as
well as base insurance for the working sector.

The Future of the Insurance Sector in India

In the future, general insurance businesses will benefit greatly from economic liberalisation.
This is particularly true as trade activity improves, expanding the market for vehicle and
health insurance.

61
The insurance industry is growing as a result of Significant government efforts. Strong
democratic elements, The favourable regulatory environment, Greater collaborations,
Innovative products, and Lively distribution networks.

Insurance and Automobile Sector :

The automobile insurance sector is likely to benefit from strong expansion in the automotive
sector over the coming decade. Besides that, a steeper yield curve, along with lower short-
term rates and rising long-term rates, will assist the life insurance industry.

Online issuance and digital channels are likely to rise further. Web aggregators participation in
online insurance distribution has been steadily rising. Web aggregators presently source 30-
40% of online insurance and this is only going to rise further.

Scope of Insurance in India :

In conclusion, the Indian insurance sector is on a path of growth, transformation and


profitability. The government initiatives, along with the recent developments in the key
players and trends in the industry. They have helped to change the face of the industry. And
