INTRODUCTION OF INDIAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

Insurance is a federal subject in India. The insurance sector has gone through a number of
phases and changes. Since 1999, when the government opened up the insurance sector by
allowing private companies to solicit insurance and also allowing FDI up to 26%, the
insurance sector has been a booming market. However, the largest life-insurance company in
India is still owned by the government.

Insurance in India has its history dating back until 1818, when Oriental Life Insurance
Company was started by Anita Bhavsar in Kolkata to cater to the needs of European
community. The pre-independence era in India saw discrimination between the lives of
foreigners (English) and Indians with higher premiums being charged for the latter. In 1870,
Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society became the first Indian insurer.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, many insurance companies were founded. In the year
1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act and the Provident Fund Act were passed to regulate
the insurance business. The Life Insurance Companies Act, 1912 made it necessary that the
premium-rate tables and periodical valuations of companies should be certified by anactuary.

However, the disparity still existed as discrimination between Indian and foreign companies.
The oldest existing insurance company in India is the National Insurance Company Ltd.,
which was founded in 1906. It is in business. Before that, the industry consisted of only two
state insurers: Life Insurers (Life Insurance Corporation of India, LIC) and General Insurers
(General Insurance Corporation of India, GIC). GIC had four subsidiary companies.

With effect from December 2000, these subsidiaries have been de-linked from the parent
company and were set up as independent insurance companies: Oriental Insurance Company
Limited, New India Assurance Company Limited, National Insurance Company
Limited and United India Insurance Company Limited.

India insurance is a flourishing industry, with several national and international players
competing and growing at rapid rates. Thanks to reforms and the easing of policy regulations,
the Indian insurance sector been allowed to flourish, and as Indians become more familiar
with differentinsurance products, this growth can only increase, with the period from 2010 -
2015 projected to be the 'Golden Age' for the Indian insurance industy.

Indian insurance companies offer a comprehensive range of insurance plans, a range that is


growing as the economy matures and the wealth of the middle classes increases. The most
common types include: term life policies, endowment policies, joint life policies, whole life
policies, loan cover term assurance policies, unit-linked insurance plans, group insurance
policies,pension plans, and annuities. General insurance plans are also available to cover
motor insurance, home insurance, travel insurance and health insurance.

Due to the growing demand for insurance, more and moreinsurance companies are now
emerging in the Indian insurance sector. With the opening up of the economy, several
international leaders in the insurance sector are trying to venture into the India insurance
industry.

The history of the Indian insurance sector dates back to 1818, when the
OrientalLife Insurance Company was formed in Kolkata. A new era began in the India
insurance sector, with the passing of the Life Insurance Act of 1912.The Indian Insurance
Companies Act was passed in 1928. This act empowered the government of India to gather
necessary information about the life insurance and non-life insurance organizations operating
in the Indian financial markets.The Triton Insurance Company Ltd formed in 1850 and was
the first of its kind in the general insurance sector in India. Established in 1907, Indian
Mercantile Insurance Limited was the first company to handle all forms of India insurance.

The formation of the Malhotra Committee in 1993 initiated reforms in the Indian insurance
sector. The aim of the Malhotra Committee was to assess the functionality of the Indian
insurance sector. This committee was also in charge of recommending the future path of
insurance in India.The Malhotra Committee attempted to improve various aspects of the
insurance sector, making them more appropriate and effective for the Indian market.The
recommendations of the committee put stress on offering operational autonomy to the
insurance service providers and also suggested forming an independent regulatory body.

[TYPE THE DOCUMENT TITLE]

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act of 1999 brought about several
crucial policy changes in the insurancesector of India. It led to the formation of the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) in 2000. The goals of the IRDA are to
safeguard the interests of insurancepolicyholders, as well as to initiate different policy
measures to help sustain growth in the Indian insurance sector.The Authority has notified 27
Regulations on various issues which include Registration of insurers, Regulation on insurance
agents, Solvency Margin, Re-insurance, Obligation of Insurers to Rural and Social sector,
Investment and Accounting Procedure, Protection of policy holders' interest etc. Applications
were invited by the Authority with effect from 15th August, 2000 for issue of the Certificate
of Registration to both life and non-life insurers. The Authority has its Head Quarter at
Hyderabad. Detailed information on IRDA is available at their web-site www.irdaindia.org

IRDA has the responsibility of protecting the interest of insurance policyholders. Towards
achieving this objective, the Authority has taken the following steps:

 IRDA has notified Protection of Policyholders Interest Regulations 2001 to provide


for: policy proposal documents in easily understandable language; claims procedure in both
life and non-life; setting up of grievance redressal machinery; speedy settlement of claims;
and policyholders' servicing. The Regulation also provides for payment of interest by
insurers for the delay in settlement of claim.
 The insurers are required to maintain solvency margins so that they are in a position
to meet their obligations towards policyholders with regard to payment of claims.
 It is obligatory on the part of the insurance companies to disclose clearly the benefits,
terms and conditions under the policy. The advertisements issued by the insurers should not
mislead the insuring public.
 All insurers are required to set up proper grievance redress machinery in their head
office and at their other offices.
 The Authority takes up with the insurers any complaint received from the
policyholders in connection with services provided by them under the insurance contract.

TREND OF INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA

The Insurance industry in India has been progressing at a rapid pace since opening up of the
industry in 2000. Indian domestic insurance market would touch around US$ 60.5 Billion by
the year 2010 from existing size of about US$ 10.2 billion. According to the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA), new business premium income from April
2006 to February 2007 amounted to INR 579.38 billion (US$13.18 billion), registering an
impressive 120% growth over the same period last year.

The Insurance industry graph is definitely ascending. Distribution accounts for the largest
element in insurers cost and affects profitability. The size of the country combined with
problems of connectivity in the rural areas, makes insurance selling in India a difficult
proposition. The distribution capabilities strongly influence product design in insurance. The
distribution channels have a direct impact on the insurer’s market image. Emergence of
alternative channels such as Bancassurance and Internet is reshaping the insurance industry.
India with a population of more than a billion people offers unlimited growth potential.

FUTURE SCOPE OF INSURANCE IN INDIA

The insurance sector has a vast potential not only because incomes are increasing and assets
are expanding but also because the volatility in the system is increasing. In a sense, we are
living in a more risky world. Trade is becoming increasingly global. Technologies are
changing and getting replaced at a faster rate. In this more uncertain world, for which enough
evidence is available in the recent period, insurance will have an important role to play in
reducing the risk burden individuals and businesses have to bear. In the emerging scenario,
the insurance industry must pay attention to (a) product innovation, (b) appropriate pricing,
and (c) speedy settlement of claims. The approach to insurance must be in tune with the
changing times.

The mission of the insurance sector in India should be to extend the insurance coverage over
a larger section of the population and a wider segment of activities. The three guiding
principles of the industry must be to charge premium no higher than what is warranted by
strict actuarial considerations, to invest the funds for obtaining maximum yield for the policy
holders consistent with the safety of capital and to render efficient and prompt service to
policy holders. With imaginative corporate planning and an abiding commitment to
improved service, the mission of widening the spread of insurance can be achieved. As I said
at the beginning, you who are graduating today have an important role in fulfilling this
mission.

With the explosion of Website and greater access to direct product or policy information,
there is a need to developing better techniques to give customers a truly personalized
experience. Personalization helps organizations to reach their customers with more impact
and to generate new revenue through cross selling and up selling activities. To ensure that the
customers are receiving personalized information, many organizations are incorporating
knowledge database-repositories of content that typically include a search engine and lets the
customers locate the all document and information related to their queries of request for
services. Customers can hereby use the knowledge database to mange their products or the
company information and invoices, claim records, and histories of the service inquiry. These

[Type the company name] 12

products also may be able to learn from the customer’s previous knowledge database and to
use their information when determining the relevance to the customers search request.

CONCLUSION

I have identified how Bajaj Allianz insurance company works. I have seen that the
underwriting department plays a significant roles in selecting the schemes. Have also

[Type the company name] 38


[TYPE THE DOCUMENT TITLE]

analysed the differences in various schemes offered by other insurance companies.i found out
that Bajaj Allianz has edge over its competitors in many schemes.Various schemes offered by
Bajaj Allianz insurance company has been studied and also the way each scheme brought by
the agents are analysed and their risk factors are laid down .

Bajaj Allianz maintains sound position in the market. Its efficiency inits various schemes are
clearly reflected in their working . The company has primarily been operating on cash drawn
from the market and reaping full benefits of its brand name.

However, trust on LIC is far much better in the market . The company has a well built chain
and all its processes of delivering to the clients are very well established a. It has a competent
control system in place for managing its agents, claims and underwriting and operations.
Nevertheless there is scope for improvements in investments of its collection from the clients
and building trust.
