Executive Summary
Executive Summary
In todays corporate and competitive world, I find that insurance sector has the maximum
growth potential as compared to the other sectors. Insurance has the maximum growth
rate of 70-80% while as FMCG sector has maximum 12-15% of growth rate. Despite
recession this sector has noticed a growth rate of around 35-40%. The growth potential
attracts individuals to enter this sector and IDBI-Federal Life Insurance Company Ltd has
given me the opportunity to get a peek of highly competitive and enhancing sector.
The awareness related to life insurance products in India, among the mass, is still very
low. The level is even lower in rural areas. Insurance is still considered as a tool for tax
planning only, even when companies have attached investment benefits to it.
The major factors affecting the purchase of an insurance product are trust, service,
product features and relationship with advisors. Firms like LIC are still favored only
because of being a government undertaking units. The concept of mis-selling has
paralyzed the sector itself. People find it hard to have faith in advisors. Their job is really
very hard. People are now getting aware of the various investment tools available in the
market. The masses in urban cities like Pune have started comparing the products. While
talking to different people, I found that their purchase decision was highly influenced by
their family and colleagues. They purchased the insurance products at the time when they
needed it most, which according to them was at the time of tax planning, whereas any
insurance product must be bought when the individual needs it least so that they can
actually calculate the amount of life cover they need and the type of investment they
want. They can spread awareness by organizing various camps, sending mails or through
free counseling for interested people.

financial security to a loved one, or ensuring a comfortable retirement income. Or you

RETIRESURANCE
It is difficult to predict the future but with more of us living longer, the possibility of
outliving our savings could become a harsh reality. In fact, you could easily spend almost
20-25% of your life in retirement. This is the time in your life when you will face the
retirement challenge. As time goes by, your responsibilities grow as well, increasing your
expenses. Also lets not forget the effect of inflation. Inflation increases the cost of living.
Take the following increases in basic amenities over the last 20 years and you can
understand what you could be up against after 20 years.
These are approximate rates based on market sources and are presented for illustrative
purposes only.
But when is a good time to start planning for retirement?
The answer is as soon as you can. It is never too early to plan ahead for something as
important as a comfortable retirement. The earlier you start, bigger your corpus or your
retirement.
LOANSURANCE
Loansurance is a cost-effective way to ensure that the outstanding debt is settled in the
unfortunate event of death of the insured member. This term assurance plan provides
cover to a person directly liable for loan repayment (and the partners, in case of a
partnership), as per the benefit schedule.
Reducing cover
Under this option, your insurance cover reduces as per your benefit schedule. The benefit
schedule is computed over a period of time, taking into account initial loan interest rate,
the loan term and outstanding loan amount.
Level Cover
The level cover option of Loansurance provides a cover for the sum insured as specified
by the insured member and can be to the extent of the full agreed loan amount plus
accrued interest as chosen by the insured member.

Literature Review

Literature Review
There are great differences in development between countries which seem to have
roughly equal resources, so it is necessary to enquire into the difference in human
behaviors
ARTHUR LEWIS -
Human resource management is the management of employees skill, knowledge abilities, talent,
aptitude, creativity, ability etc. different terms are used for denoting Human Resource
Management. They are labor management, labor administration, labor management relationship,
employee employer relationship, industrial relationship, human capital management, human
assent management etc. Though these terms can be used differently widely, the basic nature of
distinction lies in the scope or coverage and evolutionary stage. In simple since, human resource
management means employing people, developing their resources, utilizing, maintaining and
compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirements.
Recruitment Policy:
Recruitment:
Recruitment is hiring of employees from outside. Recruitment has been regarded as the most
important function of the HR department , because unless the right type of people are hired, even
the best plans, organization chart and control system would not do much good.
Recruitment is the discovering of potential applicant for actual or anticipated organizational
vacancies. Accordingly the purpose of recruitment is to locate sources of manpower to meet the
job requirements and job specification.
It is defined as a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of
staffing schedule and to apply effective measures for attracting the manpower to adequate
number to facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce
Yoder points out that recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the
requirement of the staffing schedule and to employee effective measures to attracting that
manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce.
Edwin B Flippo defines recruitment as the process of searching for prospective employees and
stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the organization.
It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process
begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their application are submitted. The result is
a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected.
Methods of Recruitment
Dunn and Stephens summaries the possible recruiting methods into three categories, namely
1: Direct method
2: Indirect method
3: Third party method
DIRECT METHOD
The direct method includes sending of the recruiters to different educational and professional
institutions, employees contact with public, and mannered exhibits. One of the widely used
methods is sending the recruiters to different colleges and technical schools. This is mainly done
with the cooperation of the placement office of the college. Sometimes, firms directly solicit
information form the concerned professors about student with an outstanding records.
Other direct methods include sending recruiters to conventions and seminars, setting up exhibits
at fairs, and using mobile offices to go the desired centers.
INDIRECT METHOD
Indirect method involves mainly advertising in newspapers, on the radios, in trade and
professional journals, technical magazines and brochures.
Local newspaper can be good sources of blue collar workers, clerical employees, and lower level
administrative employees.
The main point is that the higher the position in the organization the more dispersed
advertisement is likely to be. The search for the top executive might include advertisement in a
national periodical, whereas the advertisement of the blue color jobs usually confine to the daily
newspaper.
According to the Advertisement tactic and strategy in personnel Recruitment, three main
points need to be borne in the mind before an advertisement in inserted.
First, to visualize the type of applicants one is trying to recruit.
Second, to write out a list of advantages the company offers, or why should the reader join the
company.
Third, to decide where to run the advertisement , not only in which area, but also in which
newspaper having a local, state or a nation- wide circulation.
THRID PARTY
These include the use of commercial or private employment agencies, state agencies, and
placement offices of schools colleges and professional associations recruiting firms, management
consulting firms, indoctrination seminars for college professors, and friends and relatives.
Private employment agencies are the most widely used sources. They charge a small fee from the
applicant. They specialize in specific occupation; general office help, salesmen, technical
workers, accountant, computer staff, engineers and executives.
Schools and colleges offer opportunities for recruiting their student. They operate placement
services where complete bidet and other particular of the student are available.
Professional organization or recruiting firms maintain complete information records about
employed executive. These firms maintain complete information records about employed
executives. These firms are looked upon as the head hunters, raiders, and pirates by
organization which lose their personnel through their efforts.
Now the short-listed candidates have to be given a phone call in order to find out their interests
and schedule them for interview. There are 2 forms of interview that a candidate can appear for:
Personal Interview.
Telephonic Interview.
PERSONAL INTERVIEW
This is regarded to be the BEST FORM of interview. In such form of an interview the candidate
personally appears in front of the interviewer and gives his interview. This is regarded to be the
best form of interview as the interviewee has the best chances of making his points clear in front
of the interviewer.
TELEPHONIC INTERVIEW
Sometimes an interview is taken on the phone. A telephonic conversation is done between the
interviewer and the interviewee where the interviewer calls up the candidate via phone and
conducts the interview
Qualification
Entry level opening:
Graduates in any stream preferred can be. 10th or 12th standard pass, according to the irda
stipulation, depending on region of operation. Additional communication skills and ability to
interact with people will help.

This research has infinite set of universe and the sampling design used in the study is nonprobability sampling convenience sampling.
This study was conducted with less sample size due to time constraint and the survey was
conducted only in Delhi, so the research findings may not be generalized. Some of the
