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
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.
