INTRODUCTION

Insrance is not necessarily an in(est"ent fro" %hich one eApects to #et oneJs "oney
!ac), Nor it is #a"!lin#' A #a"!ler ta)es ris)s, %hile insrance offers protection
a#ainst ris)s that already eAist' Insrance is a %ay to share ris) %ith others'
Since ancient ti"es, co""nities ha(e pooled so"e of their resorces to help
indi(idals %ho sffer loss' A!ot 8,E22 years a#o, Moses instrcted the nation of
Israel to contri!te a portion of their prodce periodically for Kthe alien resident and
the fatherless !oy and the %ido%'
T0+ Or,5,&' 43 I&'(r)&*+
Insrance has eAisted for thosands of years' A for" of credit insrance %as inclded
in the Code of Ha""ra!i, a collection of &a!ylonian la%s said to predate the La% of
Moses' To finance their tradin# eApeditions in ancient ti"es, ship+o%ners o!tained
loans fro" in(estors' If a ship %as lost, the o%ners %ere not responsi!le for payin#
!ac) the loans' Since "any ships retrned safely, the interest paid !y n"eros ship+
o%ners co(ered the ris) to the lenders'
It %as li)e%ise in a "ariti"e settin# that later one of the %orldJs "ost fa"os
insrance pro(iders, LloydJs of London, %as !orn' &y 6H77, Ed%ard Lloyd %as
rnnin# a coffeehose %here London "erchants and !an)ers "et infor"ally to do
!siness' There financiers %ho offered insrance contracts to seafarers %rote their
na"es nder the specific a"ont of ris) that they %old accept in eAchan#e for a
certain pay"ent, or pre"i"' These insrers ca"e to !e )no%n as nder%riters'

As an indi(idal, for the eAtent of financial protection yo need is different fro" that

The "ain prpose of life insrance is to pro(ide a financial cshion to yor lo(ed

Ho% "ch insrance yo need depends on yor annal inco"e, yor eApenses and

si"ply, it is the a"ont that a personJs fa"ily %old per"anently lose, shold

Of corse, the eAact a"ont "st !e ad<sted accordin# to the n"!er of dependents,

THE HISTORY OF INSURANCE IN INDIA:
The Indian Insrance "ar)et has a #rand history' The de(elop"ent of insrance dates
!ac) of the 64th centry %hen the Eropeans started the Oriental Life Insrance
Co"pany, Calctta in 6777' The first Indian Insrance Co"pany &o"!ay Mtal Life

Ho%e(er, the first Indian Insrance act %as passed on 646., a#ain in 6487 and an

THE LIFE INSURANCE SCENARIO IN INDIA:
Since 64EH, %ith the nationali?ation if Insrance Indstry, the states rn Life
Insrance Corporation of India 1LIC3 has held the "onopoly in contry@s life
insrance sector' Deneral Insrance Corporation of India 1DIC3, %ith its for
s!sidiaries, %as its conterpart in the casalty sector' O(er the ti"e, ta)in#
ad(anta#es of its "onopoly and (irtal prero#ati(e in esta!lishin# the pre"i"s, LIC
has e(ol(ed into a "onolith' With arond H2,222 a#ents in e(ery noo) and corner of
the (ast contry, it has created an en(ia!le !rand na"e, particlarly a"on# the rral
poplation of the contry' It has arond O02 !illion as its financial sector' Ho%e(er,
on the >alitati(e side, it has e(ery little pride in, and there lies the potential for
players to challen#e this !ehe"oth'
As typical %ith "onopolies, the pre"i"s rates char#ed LIC are a"on# the hi#hest in
the %orld, and its trac) record in csto"er ser(ice can at !est !e called sha!!y' With a
