LIFE INSURANCE IN INDIA

Life Insurance in its existing form came to India form the United Kingdom with the establishment of a British from Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta in 1818 followed by Bombay Life Assurance Company in 1823. The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act, 1912 was the first statutory measure to regulate life insurance business. Later in 1928 the Indian Insurance Companies Act was enacted to enable the Government to collect statistical information about both life and non-life insurance business transacted in India by Indian and foreign insurers including provident insurance societies. In 1948 with a view to protecting the interest of insuring public earlier legislation was consolidated and effective control over the activities of insurers. The Act was amended in 1950 resulting in far reaching changer in the insurance sector. These included a statutory requirement of equity capital for companies carrying on life insurance business, ceiling on share holdings in such companies, stricter control on investments, submission of periodical returns relation to investments and such other information to the controller. The controller could also call for appointment of administrators and put a ceiling on expenses of management and agency commission for mismanaged companies.

By 1956, 154 Indian insurers, 16 foreign insurers and 75 provident societies were carrying on life insurance business in India. Life Insurance business was concentrated in urban areas and confined to the higher strata of the society. On January 19,1956 the management of Life Insurance business of 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies then operating in India was taken over was by the Central in Government. Life an Insurance Act of Corporation million. Then the Finance Minister MR C.D.

OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
In all human activities be it industry or trade, commerce and insurance, man is the source and pivot of action all system start with man and end with man. There is no substitute for human vision, honesty commitment and dedication. These factors apply equally to the family unit where parents have to think in terms of securing better future for their offspring be it securing children uninterrupted education that primary middle higher ad professional education. I focus on the following as objectives of my project:1. 2. To cover in general about concept of insurance. To explore the concept of insurance linked policy toward

education. 3. 4. To study how insurance benefit children education. To study the level of awareness among the people with

special reference the people of Yamuna Nagar & Jagadhri.

RESEARCH PROCESS 1) DEFINE OBJECTIVE: There are two types of research problem viz: those which relate to states of nature and those which relate to relationships between variables. In this project the basic objective of study was to study the Child plan offered by Bajaj Allianz. I also aimed at making a comparative study between various private market players. This task of formulating, or defining, a research problem is a step of greatest importance in the entire process. The problem in the project needs to be unambiguously defined for that helps discriminating relevant data from irrelevant data. In the research I study the need of insurance for children. Why people want an insurance cover for their kids? THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND ITS

2)

REVIEW CONCEPTS AND THEORIES : The general information regarding insurance was studied to know the various principles applied in insurance sector. The following features characterize the insurance contracts:

RULES OF INSURABLE INTEREST : An insurance contract is legally binding only if the insured has an interest in the subject

matter of insurance. The following principles are accepted in life insurance: Husband has an insurable interest on the life of his wife and vice versa. Parents have insurable interest in the life of the child. Creditors have insurable interest on the lives of the debtors. Business partners have insurable interest in the lives of other partners to the extent of their financial interest in the partnership. Employers have insurable interest in the lives of employees who are key to the profitability of the business.

DOCTRINE OF UTMOST GOOD FAITH : In life insurance a contract, a very high degree of good faith is required to exist between the parties to the contract viz, the insurer and the insured. This is called principle of utmost good faith. In other words it is the duty of the propose to disclose all material information for proper assessment of risk by the insurer.

PRINCIPLE OF INDEMNITY : It states that the amount payable by the insurer in case of contingency stated in the policy occurring is limited to the loss that the insured will suffer.

RESEARCH DESIGN INCLUDING SAMPLE DESIGN:

Research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a matter that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. It constitutes the blue print for the collection , measurement and analysis of data. The design was like: Sources of data: Primary source: The fresh data which is purely collected for the purpose of the project. It included methods like: A. B. Personal interview Questionnaire

Secondary source: Data that are available i.e. they refer to the data which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else. When one utilizes secondary data , then he has look into various sources from where he can obtain them. These are like: A. B. C. D. E. Product manual Annual reports Published articles Brochure Training handbook Sampling: It is a technique of collecting information by enquiring a part of population.

The customer was required to bring following documents: Age proof of kid and life assured Salary slip of proposer Signature on application form Cheque in favors of ICICI PRUDENTIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY LTD. If the customer was eligible for policy he was given policy. 5) ANALYSIS OF DATA: It involves editing, coding,

classification and tabulation of collected date. Editing: possible. It is process of examining the collected raw data

to detect errors and omissions and to correct these when

Coding: It refers to the process of assigning numerals or other symbols to answers so that responses can be put into a limited number of categories or classes. Classification: It means arranging the homogenous

information at one place. Here, I arranged the data in groups or classes on the basis of common characteristics. Tabulation: It means arranging the large data in some kind of logical order. It is a process of summarizing raw data and displays the same in compact form for further analysis. Interpretation and report writing: It refers to the task of drawing inferences from the collected facts after an analytical or experimental study.

Introduction of major players in insurance industry HDFC STANDARD LIFE

The Partnership:
HDFC and Standard Life first came together for a possible joint venture, to enter the Life Insurance market, in January 1995. It was clear from the outset that both companies shared similar values and beliefs and a strong relationship quickly formed. In October 1995 the companies signed a 3 year joint venture agreement. Around this time Standard Life purchased a 5% stake in HDFC, further strengthening the relationship. The next three years were filled with uncertainty, due to changes in government and ongoing delays in getting the IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development authority) Act passed in parliament. Despite this both companies remained firmly committed to the venture. In October 1998, the joint venture agreement was renewed and additional resource made available. Around this time Standard Life purchased 2% of Infrastructure Development Finance Company Ltd. (IDFC). Standard Life also started to use the services of the HDFC Treasury department to advise them upon their investments in India.

Towards the end of 1999, the opening of the market looked very promising and both companies agreed the time was right to move the operation to the next level. Therefore, in January 2000 an expert team from the UK joined a hand picked team from HDFC to form the core project team, based in Mumbai.

SWOT ANALYSIS

ABOUT COMPANY
Bajaj Allianz is one of the most powerful, world class Life Insurance Co, gaining appreciation for their strong word ethics, excellent performance, professionalism and team work which lead them to progress in todays challenging environment. Though with the its excellence performance every efforts has been made to present the most authentic and truly representative findings, but some uncontrollable factors do affect the performance and thus bring about some deviations and hurdles in progress. So, with its strengths and good quality, the company is having some weakness, and threats and opportunities. Its SWOT analysis is as below: Strengths: Bajaj Allianz is the Second larges private player in the insurance industry. Excellent Services. Brand Image is the strongest point of Bajaj Allianz Insurance Company. Business Experience. Strong Financial Base. Innovative Products. The company has a large network on branches which is helped to customer for the payment. Weaknesses Lot of competitors are in the market offer same product by the different title and different in their premium and offering. A premium is high as compared to other companies.

 Targets for financial advisors and for the sales department are high. Clients face problems to get insured due to large number of formalities. Opportunities Huge market is literally untapped. Out of estimated 320 million insurable markets only 20% of the population is insured. Indian people are more emotional toward their child thats why children plans are selling like hot cakes. Threats: Weak perception of private players in the minds of Indian people due to frequent financial scams. Large number of insurance players. Players like Birla sun life and HDFC with low premium for the similar plans. Entry of many other private companies with equally strong experience and financial strength for foreign partners making the competition difficult and saturating the urban markets. For the insurance sector Government set the authority that is IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority) which is undertaken to track record of all the companies and change rules day by day more rigid which is very difficult for the companies.
