INTRODUCTION

Life is full of
uncertainties due to different types of risks like death, accidents, loss of
health and property, famine, fire, earthquakes and so on. Everyday some
unfavourable events do happen which cause anxiety to our life and disturb
our peace of mind. Human beings always sought protection from such
risks. Insurance is the answer to these types risk and uncertainties.
Insurance is based on the principal that a group of persons exposed to
similar type of risks join together and pool their resources to help the few
unfortunate ones and meet the loss. Insurance is the process in which
losses of few are served by many persons who are equally exposed to
some risks. Its basic purpose is to derive the plans to meet financial
consequences of unfavourable happenings. The unfortunate ones in a
group, who suffer from risk, get compensation out of the pooled resources.
In a way, the personal who are fortunate and dont face any loss, share the
burden of the unfortunate sufferers. As such insurance is a cooperative
device to share the sufferings of unfortunate persons in a group.
Human beings can never live in isolation because man is a social animal.

He always tries to live in community and contributes to societys well- being and gets

substance and protection from the society in which he lives. The modern concept of

insurances is based on this principle. Insurance is a social device for eliminating or

reducing the cost of society for certain types of risks.

Origin of Life Assurance:


Life Assurance was
born in England when the first policy providing temporary
cover for a period of 12 months was issued as early as 1583
A.D. the Amicable Society started granting fluctuating sum
on death since 1705 and a fixed sum since 1757. With the
development of mortality tables, Life Assurance acquired a
scientific character. The Equitable Society founded in 1762
was the first Society established on scientific basis.
In India, after failure
of two British companies, the European and the Albert in
1870, which attempted writing business on Indian lives, first
Indian Life Assurance Society was formed in the same year
called Bombay Mutual Assurance Society Ltd. it was
followed by the Oriental Life Assurance Company Limited I
1874, Bharat in 1896and Empire of India in 1897.
The Swadeshi
Movement of 1905 provided impetus to the formation of
several companies such as the Hindustan Co-operative, the
United India, the Bombay Life, the National. Further in the
wake of freedom movement number of companies such as
the New India, the Jupiter the Lakshmi emerged.
The Government
began to exercise a certain measure of control on insurance
business by passing the Insurance business by passing the
Insurance Act in 1912. For controlling Investment of funds,
expenditure and management, a comprehensive Act 1938.
For controlling the affirm, the office of Controller of Insurance
was established. The act was extensively amended in 1950.
In the year 1955,
approximately 170 insurance Offices and 80 provident Fund
Societies had been registered for transacting Life Assurance
business in India. There were, however, no full guarantees to
the policyholders. The concept of trusteeship was lacking.
Many Insurance companies went into Liquidation. There
were malpractices in insurance business. For achieving the
following purposes it was felt necessary to nationalize the
insurance business in India.
To provide security to the policyholders.
To utilize the funds for nation-building activities.
To avoid cut throat competition.
To abolish mal-practices.
To spread the message of Insurance to the rural areas.
Evolution of Life Insurance:
The beginning of
Life Insurance is almost as old as the story of mankind. The
term Life Insurance is, of course, a concept of modern times.
But, the search for security commenced with the beginning
of human life it self. The recorded beginning of human life
itself. The recorded beginning of concept of Life Insurance is
about 6000 years old.
First Life Policy:
The earliest record
Life Insurance Policy was issued on 18th June, 1583 on the
Life of William Gybbons, a citizen of London. The policy was
procured by Richard Martin. It was under written for 12
months by 16 individuals for an amount of 383-6s-8d with
premium @ 8% i.e. 30-13-4. The text of the policy ended
with an interesting prayer. God send the said William
Gybbons died on May 29, 1584, that is within a year. The
underwriters disputed the claim pleading that the insured
had survived 12 lunar months of 28 days each. The claim
was finally paid through the Court.
DEFINITION OF INSURANCE
There can be two
approaches for defining insurance. One is functional
approach other is contractual approach.
Definition
The functional
approach says insurance may be defined as a social device,
whereby a large group of individuals, through a system of
equitable contributions may reduce or eliminate measurable
risk of economic loss common to all member of the group. In
similar sense Disnadle has defined that Insurance is an
instrument of distributing loss of few to many. Allen C.
Mayer son states Insurance is device for the transfer to an
insured of certain risks of economic loss that would
otherwise be borne by the insured.

Contractual Definition
In contractual sense
the following definition are noteworthy. To Justice Tindall,
Insurance is contract in which a sum of money is paid to the
assured in consideration of insurers incurring the risk of
paying a large sum upon a given contingency. In the words
of E.W. Patterson, Insurance is a contract by which one
party for a consideration called premium, assumes a
particular risk of the other party and promises to pay to him
or his nominee a certain a ascertainable sum of amount on a
specified contingency.
KINDS OF INSURANCE
Insurance can be
mainly classified into two categories.
A) Life Insurance
B) General Insurance
Life Insurance
The subject matter
of Life Insurance is human life. Most of the insurance
policies are combination of savings and security. The insured
is promised by the insurance company that during the tenure
of insurance in case of his death. His nominee will be paid
the insurance amount. According to section 2 (ii) in
Insurance Act 1938. Life Insurance is the business of
effecting contracts of insurance upon human life including
any contract. Whereby the payment of money is assured on
death, except death by accident on the happening of any
contingency dependent on human life and any contract,
which is subject to the payment of premium for a term of the
policy, he/she will be paid an amount as per terms of the
policy.
General Insurance
General Insurance
covers all different types of activities performed by human.
These are also called as non-life insurance. Types are:
House / Office / Factory or any movable Fire Insurance
assets destroyed in fire.
Shipment or transportation of goods Marine Insurance by
ship, destroyed in catastrophe.
Jewellery / cash / household goods stolen Burglary
Insurance or robbed.
Goods in transit by road or railway Carrier Insurance
destroyed.
Theft or accident of vehicles Vehicle Insurance.
Financial cover in
ailments / surgery etc. Health Insurance.
Purpose and Need of Insurance:
Life is full of
uncertainties and insurance is based on un-certainties and if
there are no uncertainties about the occurrence of a disaster,
the concept of insurance will cease to exist. For insurance, if
one is able to predict the forthcoming dangers, then one will
take a proper safeguard action and then face the crisis in a
very normal manner, but then, this is an utopian concept;
because death, disaster and danger CANNOT be predicted.
All individuals have assets; both tangible; the house, car,
factory or intangible like voice of a singer, leg of a footballer,
the hand of a author and many such others as quite often
seen in the western countries. Now all such assets are
insured, because they run the risk of becoming non-
functional through a disaster or an accident. Such possible
and unforeseen occurrences are known as PERILS. And the
damage caused by such perils are the RISK that the assets
are exposed to. Risk is a contingency and the insurance is
done against such possible contingencies.
The concept of insurance is quite simple. People who are in
a similar trade and are exposed to the same risks,
congregate and come to an agreement that if any individual
member suffers a loss, then the loss will be shared by others
and minimised in order to enable the individual member
recover from the loss and cover his ground. Similarly the
different kinds of risks can be identified and separate groups
can be formed to counter such risks and reduce the impact
to a manageable proportion, in which the share could be
collected from members either after the loss or in advance,
at the time of admission to the group. This is an exemplary
sign of humanity and insurance therefore serves mankind to
a great extent; a point most of the individuals tend to
overlook, since monetary aspect is involved. Now such
insurance is for tangible assets.
The concept of insurance has been extended beyond the
coverage of tangible assets. Exporters run the risk of
importers in other country defaulting as well as losses due to
sudden fluctuations in the currency exchange rates,
economic policies turmoil. These risks are now insured.
Doctors run the risk of being charged with negligence and
can subsequently liable for damages. The amounts in
questions can be fairly large, beyond the capacity of
individuals to bear. These are insured. Thus insurance is
extended to intangibles. In some countries even the voice of
a singer, legs of a footballer can be insured, even though the
advantage of spread may not be available in these cases.
Satisfaction of economic needs requires generation of
income from some source. If the property, which is the
source of such income, is lost fully or partially, permanently
or temporarily, the income too would stop. The purpose of
insurance is a safeguard against such misfortunes by
making goods the losses of the unfortunate few, through the
help of the fortunate many, who were exposed to the same
risk, but saved from the misfortune. Thus the essence of
insurance is to share losses and substitute certainty by
uncertainty.
Similarly human life is also an income-generating asset,
albeit, intangible. This asset can be lost through an
unexpectedly premature death due to some accident or
disease or the asset can also be made non-functional
through some disabilities. In the case of such unforeseen
mishaps, insurance becomes essential to help those who
are dependents to maintain their life in a normal and a
regular manner. In this context, it becomes essential to
mention that living too long can be equally or sometimes
more problematic than dying too young. Hence a very old
age can be considered to be a risk and insurance takes care
of all such risks which need to be safe-guarded against.
Insurance can minimise the impact of the risk on the owner
of the asset and those who depend upon the asset, but only
in terms of economy or finance, not in terms of emotions.
Hence one can see the need and the purpose of insurance,
which sadly speaking still remains a neglected part of an
individuals life.
ADVANTAGES OF LIFE INSURANCE
It is superior to ordinary saving plan. The risk of death is
covered under insurance scheme but not under ordinary
saving plans. In case of death, insurer pays full sum
assured, which would be several times larger than the total
of the premiums paid. Under ordinary saving plans, only
accumulated amount is payable.
Insurance encourages compulsory saving and forces thrift.
After taking insurance, if the premium is not paid, the policy
lapses. Therefore, the insured is forced to go on paying
premium. In other words, it is compulsory. A saving deposit
can be withdrawn any time.
Easy settlement and protection against creditors. Once
nomination or assignment is made, a claim under life
insurance can be settled in a simple way. Under M.W.P. Act,
the policy moneys become a kind of trust, which cannot be
taken away, even by the creditors.
It helps to achieve the purpose of the Life Assured. If a lump
sum amount is received in the hands of anybody, it is quite
likely that the amount might be spent in speculative way. To
overcome this risk, the life assured can provide that the
claim amount be given in instalments...
Ready marketability and suitability for quick borrowing. If a
policyholder is not in a position to pay the premium, he can
surrender the policy for a cash sum. He can also take loan
for a short period to tide over the difficulty. Sometimes, an
insurance policy is acceptable as security for a commercial
loan.
Tax relief. By paying the insurance premium, the life assured
obtains significant reliefs in income tax and wealth tax.

CHAPTER-2
INDIAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY- THE PARADIGM SHIFT

2.1 Introduction.

2.2 The Indian Insurance Market

2.3 Benefits of Insurance Market

2.4 Private Players.


INTRODUCTION:
Indian economy is
in transition over the last ten years owing to the initiation of
major economic reforms affecting almost all sectors. The
paradigm shift from a mixed economic organisation to a
market oriented organization has exposed all sectors to an
intense competition. Insurance being one among the players
in the financial services sector. Indian insurance business is
the most significant one among them. The industry covers
two dimensions viz. Life Insurance and General Insurance.
While Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India is a financial
intermediary which mobilizes peoples savings and invests
large amounts of premiums, the General Insurance
Company (GIC) do not collect savings. Yet they raise crores
of rupees from premiums. General insurance deals with
exposure of risks to goods and property.
THE INDIAN INSURANCE MARKET
Traditionally the life
insurers have been banking primarily on the agency
distribution force while the general insurance business is
department primarily on the development officers. The
private players are bringing international experience, new
technology, new channels of distribution and new products.
The ground rules in the insurance business are being
redefined, the existing public sector players are gearing up
with match strategies to face competition.
The majority of
insurance companies today are under tariff that means
insurance companies cannot price the product to suit the
customer of customer group. The way to service customer is
to segment the market is to segment. There is a huge
untapped potential in India, which needs to be

targeted. The distribution channel is a medium to reach the


masses in urban, semi urban and rural areas.
BENEFIT OF INSURANCE
Insurance can be
seen as a hedge against the unexpected calamities like
death, theft or damage of property due to accidents, fire etc.
The insurance potential untapped means human and
physical assets unprotected and their worth unpreserved.
The sense of lost worth is relatively easy to understand in
the case of property. But it is difficult to view human beings
from the angle. When these two things are appreciated in
their right spirit. Life Insurance in India will not remain simply
as one more sources of savings.
The most important
benefit is the identification of unexpected losses. Restoring
of losses not only rebuilds the economic viability of an
organization but also strengthens the society at large. When
the uncertainty gets reduced an insured person can spend
more time and energy, work with greater concentration,
resulting in higher efficiency and better performance. From
the management point of view, it is the accumulation of fund
for investment in the fields of national priority. Accumulation
of funds stems out of a gap in in-payment timings.

PRIVATE PLAYERS IN THE MARKET


The new insurance
companies used to channels of advertising from newspaper
and the television to insurance agents and direct mailers.
The new companies focussed their campaigns primarily on
building an image of trustworthiness and reliability for
themselves. Their advertisements carried messages like the
familys happiness. It has been more than 2 years since
private insurance company lunched operations in India,
which is depicted in the table.

CHAPTER 5
GLOBALISATION AND INSURANCE

5.1 Need for Globalisation.

5.2 Global Picture of Insurance


5.3 Impact of Globalisation of Insurance
NEED FOR GLOBALISATION

Insurer promotes financial systems through their role of both life, and non

life, financial intermediary in the following three ways.

Reduction in transaction costs: Because it collects the premium from a very

large no of policy holders from different regions of the country and there by

commands huge funds at their disposal.

Creating Liquidity: since there is no time lag between occurrence of loss

on the hand and receiving the claim amount by the policy holders from

different regions of the country and there by commands huge funds and their

disposal.

Facilitating Economics of scale in investment: Investment in large projects

such as national road projects, railway projects, power projects facilitate

innovations and specialisations and there by promote economic efficiency and

productivity in the economy.

GLOBAL PICTURE OF INSURANCE

The world market stands at approximately US $ 6.5 trillions in insurance

premiums, split equally between life and non life insurance, with London

constituting to dominate as a major supply centre. In terms of demand, Japan

and USA are still the largest insurance markets, accounting for over 70% of

global premiums. Insurance penetration for life insurance is highest in Japan,

South Africa and republic of Korea where it averages upto 10%. For non life

penetration to the importance of penetration world wide averages 3.3% of

GDP and is highest in USA due private health and liability insurance.

IMPACT OF GLOBALISATION OF INSURANCE SECTOR ON INDIA

OPPORTUNITIES
The opening of the insurance sector by Govt. of India to private and global players, will

lead to phenomenal growth in terms of number of new players, and new product and

services. - A state monopoly has little incentive to innovative or offers a wide range of

products. It can be seen by a lack of certain products from LICs portfolio and lack of

extensive risk categorization in several GIC products such as health insurance. More

competition in this business will spur firms to offer several new products and more

complex and extensive risk categorization

1. Opening up of the sector will ensure a larger flow of funds in two ways. More

investments will take place in the sector. Further, through completion, a larger

number of savings will find its way into infrastructure through insurance

companies.

2. After the Nuclear tests, the government need to hold out a hand of friendship

to achieve aims related to national securities.

3. From view point of capital market, opening of the insurance will have a

bullish impact.

4. In the near term, insurance in highly visible industry in the fact that in spite of

motivated opposition, the govt. is prepared to go a head send a positive signal

to foreign investor, even if they are not in insurance. In the medium term,

insurance companies are traditionally measure players in stock market.

5. The biggest benefit will be to the stock market because of the actual

investment flowing into infrastructure development.

6. It would also result in better customer services and help improve

the variety and price of insurance products.

7. The entry of new players would speed up the spread of both life and
General insurance. Spread of insurance will be measured in term of
insurance penetration and measure of density.

8. With the entry of private players, it is expected that insurance business

roughly 400 billion rupees per year now, more than 20 per cent per year

even leaving aside the relatively under developed sectors of health

insurance, pen

More importantly, it will also ensure a great mobalisation of funds that

can be utilized for purpose of infrastructure development that was a

factor considered for globalisation of insurance.

9. More importantly, it will also ensure a great moblisation of funds that

can be utilized for purpose of infrastructure development that was a

factor considered for globalisation of insurance.

10. With allowing of holding of equity shares by foreign company either

itself or through its subsidiary company or nominee not exceeding 26%

of paid up capital of Indian partners will be operated resulting into

supplementing domestic savings and increasing economic progress of

nation. Agreements of various ventures have already been made to be

discussed later on in this paper.

11. It has been estimated that insurance sector growth more than 3 times

the growth of economy in India. So business or domestic firms will

attempt to invest in insurance sector. Moreover, growth of insurance

business in India is 13 times the growth insurance in developed

countries. So it is natural, that foreign companies would be fostering a

very strong desire to invest something in Indian insurance business.


12. Most important not the least tremendous employment opportunities will

be created in the field of insurance which is burning problem of the

present day today issues

CHALLENGES BEFORE THE INDUSTRY

New age companies have started their business as discussed earlier.

Some of these companies have been able to float 3 or 4 products only and some

have targeted to achieve the level of 8 or 10 products. At present, these

companies are not in a position to pose any challenge to LIC and all other four

companies operating in general insurance sector, but if we see the quality and

standards of the products which they issued, they can certainly be a challenge in

future. Because the challenge in the entire environment caused by globalisation

and liberalization the industry is facing the following challenges.

1. The existing insurer, LIC and GIC, have created a large group of

dissatisfied customers due to the poor quality of service. Hence there will

be shift of large number of customers from LIC and GIC to the private

insurers.

2. LIC may face problem of surrender of a large number of policies, as new

insurers will woo them by offer of innovative products at lower prices.

3. The corporate clients under group schemes and salary savings schemes

may shift their loyalty from LIC to the private insurers.

4. There is a likelihood of exit of young dynamic managers from LIC to the

private insurer, as they will get higher package of remuneration.


5. LIC has overstaffing and with the introduction of full computerization, a

large number of the employees will be surplus. However they cannot be

retrenched. Hence the operating costs of LIC will not be reduced. This will

be a disadvantage in the competitive market, as the new insurers will

operate with lean office and high technology to reduce the operating costs.

6. GIC and its four subsidiary companies are going to face more challenges,

because their management expenses are very high due to surplus staff.

They cant reduce their number due to service rules.

7. Management of claims will put strain on the financial resources, GIC and

its subsidiaries since it is not up the mark.

8. LIC has more than to 60 products and GLC has more than 180 products in

their kitty, which are outdated in the present context as they are not

suitable to the changing needs of the customers. Not only that they are not

competent enough to complete with the new products offered by foreign

companies in the market.

9. Reaching the consumer expectations on par with foreign companies such

as better yield and much improved quality of service particularly in the

area of settlement of claims, issue of new policies, transfer of the policies

and revival of policies in the liberalized market is very difficult to LIC and

GIC.

10. Intense competition from new insurers in winning the consumers by multi-

distribution channels, which will include agents, brokers, corporate

intermediaries, bank branches, affinity groups and direct marketing

through telesales and interest.


11. The market very soon will be flooded by a large number of products by

fairly large number of insurers operating in the Indian market. Even with

limited range of products offered by LIC and GIC, the consumers are

confused in the market. Their confusion will further increase in the face for

large number of products in the market. The existing level of awareness of

the consumers for insurance products is very low. It is so because only

62% of the Indian population is literate and less than 10% educated. Even

the educated consumers are ignorant about the various products of the

insurance.

12. The insurers will have to face an acute problem of the redressal of the

consumers, grievances for deficiency in products and services.

13. Increasing awareness will bring number of legal cases filled by the

consumers against insurers is likely to increase substantially in future.

14. Major challenges in canalizing the growth of insurance sector are product

innovation, distribution network, investment management, customer

service and education.

ESSENTIALS TO MEET THE CHALLENGES

1. Indian insurance industry needs the following to meet the global

challenges

2. Understanding the customer better will enable insurance companies to

design appropriate products, determine price correctly and increase

profitability.

3. Selection of right type of distribution channel mix along with prudent and

efficient FOS [Fleet On Street] management.


4. An efficient CRM system, which would eventually create sustainable

competitive advantages and build a long-lasting relationship

5. Insurers must follow best investment practices and must have a strong

asset management company to maximize returns.

6. Insurers should increase the customer base in semi urban and rural areas,

which offer a huge potential.

7. Promoting health insurance and using e-broking to increase the business.


CHAPTER 6
FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
STRENTH:

Bajaj Allianz Products are extremely dedicated towards the fulfilment of

Needs of all class of customers.

Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance has having a very good range of products which

has facilitated in fulfilling the need of the people from every stage of society.

The satellite branch services implemented by the company is one of the best

system every among the insurance service around the nation which make the

work of the employees easier and help them in taking better decision.

It has also got some unit products known as Unit Gain Super, New Unit Gain

Premier SP, and New Unit Gain Plus which takes care of insurance and

investment requirements, four life which has a great advantage towards the

company.

WEAK NESS:

Lack of internal customer orientation inhibits implementation of plans to a

substantational extent.

Excessive hierarchy resulting in dilution in communication and delay in

implementation.

Bajaj Allianz does stood much retail range of products for the lower range of

people in the society in spite of a large product range.

OPPORTUNITIES:
There is a steady increase in the demand of products at Sambalpur as well as

in the country that has raised the development of new variety of insurance

products.

Due to continue change in the living condition of people due to rapid

industrialisation in the western part of the state leads to a great demand of its

insurance products.

THREATS:

With opening of insurance market Bajaj Allianz facing a stiff competition

from life insurance corporation Ltd. And other private players like ICICI

Prudential, HDFC Life, SBI Life, Birla Sun Life, Reliance Life Insurance etc.

Some of its products like Term care, Risk care, Health Care, has having its

better substitutes in the other insurance companies.

The CRM (Customer relationship management) strategy of Bajaj Allianz Life

Insurance has to be developed due to highly competitive insurance market in

India as well as at Sambalpur.


SUGGESTIONS

I obtained the following suggestion during my survey:


Socially and economically backward classes of Sambalpur to be given due

weightage and for this low cost policies to be included in the product line.

Maximizing the mobilization of saving by offering attractive policies.

For ensuring adequate safety of investments and steady return on them, it is

necessary to diversify the investment portfolio in terms of units, industries and

regions.

The investment of product to the best advantage of investors, keeping in view

the national priorities.

Steps should be taken for reducing the amount of premium.

To train the agents perfectly regarding the Life Insurance Products.

To improve the advertisement media conspicuously and technically.

Long term defaulters should be given a chance for under for future continuing

their scheme.

Settlement of claims should be made quickly and loan facilities should be

given with low interest rates.

All the plans, policies and programs regarding Life Insurance Schemes should

reach everybody especially in rural areas.

The given insurance companies should be frequent interaction between policy


holders, agents, marketing managers and lastly the management.
Insurance companies should open the branches in the rural areas. So that the
rural people will bet benefits.
To be more friendly, helpful, and careful and target oriented.
CONCLUSION
After FDI cap has been removed form the insurance sector up to

26%. Many foreign companies entered into India and made joint

venture with Indian majors. Bajaj Allianz Life also started its operation

in March 2001 in India. Company also proved itself one of the

competent insurance companies. Because goodwill and faith is very

much necessary to get the customers. Bajaj Allianz also received that

goodwill and faith through its efficient sales force and operation

department. In time service, customized products, flexibility in the

products, better technology, and massive network are to key areas in

which Bajaj Allianz Life lead. During my research it is also found that

many people faith on Bajaj Allianz Life because it is a subsidiary of

Bajaj, one of the trusted family name in the field of automobiles.

Better return in investment and flexible products fascinate many

people to go with Bajaj Allianz Life. As now a day people does not

only want to do life Insurance, they want something more that in

insurance plus investment. Which Bajaj Allianz provides through its

customized products. Even in ULIP policies there is a flexibility to

change the investment to different funds as prescribed in the

brochure.
It is also found that most of the people come to know about Bajaj

Allianz Life from their friends and relatives. Major respondents rated

the company as GOOD. It is also found that most of the people go for

Bajaj Allianz Life because of its better return in investment. Followed

by better service and reliability.
