Note: *Growth rate in INR terms, Linked Plans - In linked plans, a part of the investment goes towards providing you life cover while the residual portion is
invested in a fund which in turn invests in stocks or bonds; the value of investments alters with the performance of the underlying fund
In Non-Linked plans, a major chunk of investible funds are in debt instruments, giving steady and almost assured returns over the long term
The industry is witnessing a shift towards the traditional
non-linked insurance plans
The share of non-linked insurance increased from 59.1* per

Tax incentives • Insurance products are covered under the exempt, exempt, exempt (EEE) method of
taxation. This translates to an effective tax benefit of approximately 30 per cent on select
investments (including life insurance premiums) every financial year
Union Budget
2013–14
• The proposed Insurance (Amendment) Bill is expected to empower IRDA to introduce
regulations for promoting sustainable growth, providing the flexibility to frame regulations
and increase the FDI limit to 49 per cent
• The government has also extended Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) to cover
unorganised sector workers in hazardous mining and associated industries
Life insurance
companies allowed to
go public
• IRDA recently allowed life insurance companies that have completed 10 years of
operations to raise capital through initial public offerings (IPOs)
• Companies will be able to raise capital if they have embedded value of twice the paid up
equity capital
Notes: RSBY - Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, FDI - Foreign Direct Investment
Approval of increase in
FDI limit and revival
package
• Increase in FDI limit will help companies raise capital and fund their expansion plans
• Revival package by government will help companies get faster product clearances, tax
incentives and ease in investment norms
The IRDA Act, 1999 allowed an FDI of up to 26 per cent in the insurance sector on an automatic route subject to obtaining
license from IRDA
Cabinet has approved an increase of FDI limit to 49 per cent through the Insurance Laws Amendment Bill (2008). The increase
in FDI limit will take effect following approval from the Parliament

Objective for establishing microinsurance
• Fulfilment of corporate social responsibility
• Increase brand recognition to boost market entry –
today’s micro clients maybe tomorrow’s high-premium
clients
• To target untapped markets and income groups of
rural India
The microinsurance business model
Source: Company website, Aranca Analysis
Key strategic decisions
• The microinsurance business model must be
separated from business model
• Selling microinsurance would require new, alternative
distribution mechanisms
New business unit
• A special
microinsurance
team called the
Rural & Social
Team is formed
Partnering with NGOs
• Identify and partner with credible NGOs operating in the local community
• NGO suggests good agents for microinsurance policies (micro-agents)
Forming CRIGs
• A group of micro-agents called a community rural insurance group (CRIG) is formed; it relies on direct marketing of microinsurance policies to local community members
Local operations managed by NGOs
• Local operations like collecting and aggregating the premiums, training micro-agents, and helping to distribute benefits looked after by the NGO; this saves administrative costs for Tata-AIG

Urban low-income insurance penetration in India is
expected to have increased to 40 per cent in 2012 from 30
per cent in 2007
Rapid development in Tier II and Tier III cities and growth in
new bankable households have led to the emergence of a
large insurable class with an appetite for sophisticated life
insurance products
Insurance density and penetration remain at very low levels
compared to that in developed countries; this indicates a
strong potential for growth in future
Business models need to be customised accordingly to
maintain cost-effectiveness, as most low-income customers
would be small-ticket accounts, though huge in numbers

The number of new policies issued increased at a CAGR of 7.8 per cent from FY03 to FY12, from 43.6 million to 85.7 million
Despite strong growth, non-life insurance sector remains far from tapped, with penetration rates (premium to GDP ratios)
remaining low at 0.7 per cent in 2012 compared to an average of 4.5 per cent in the US and global average of 2.8 per cent
Strong growth in the automotive industry over the next decade will be a key driver of motor insurance

• IRDA drafted microinsurance guidelines in 2010, which contain
numerous favourable measures such as
• Lower threshold limits for agents’ commissions
• Rural areas must account for 7 per cent of new life insurance
policies in the first year of firm’s operation and rise to 20 per cent
over the next 10 years
• In order to reduce microinsurance distribution costs, IRDA proposed
microinsurance schemes to supplement existing government
insurance schemes
• The number of regional rural banks and NGOs operating in the rural
sector will aid distribution of microinsurance products
• The annual income growth rate in rural India is expected to increase
to 3.6 per cent over 2010–30 from 2.8 per cent during 1990–2010
• About 5 million people currently have microinsurance, while the entire
market is expected to be in the range of 140–300 million

Notes: * Growth rate in INR terms
Crop insurance market in India is the largest in the world,
covering around 30 million farmers
Crop insurance accounted for nearly 5 per cent of the total
non-life insurance premium in FY12
To provide crop insurance to farmers, Government has
launched various schemes like National Agriculture
Insurance Scheme (NAIS), Modified National Agriculture
Insurance Scheme (MNAIS) and Weather-based Crop
Insurance Scheme (WBCIS)
The number of farmers covered increased at a CAGR of
11.5 per cent from FY08 to FY12, while the sum insured
rose at a CAGR of 22.0* per cent from USD6.5 billion to
USD12.1 billion over the same period
There is huge scope for increasing coverage, as only 30
million farmers out of 120 million are insured under crop
insurance schemes
Government of India plans to increase the coverage to 50
million during the 12th Five-Year Plan
