Introduction

Executive Summary

The service industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in India

today. The upcoming sectors which are really showing the graph

towards upwards are - Telecom, Banking, and Insurance. These

sectors really have a lot of responsibility towards the economy.

Amongst the above-mentioned areas insurance is one sector,

which took a lot of time in positioning itself. The insurancebusiness of non-life companies was not much in problems but the

major problem was with life insurance. Life Insurance

Corporation of India had monopoly for more than 45 years, but

the picture then was completely different. Previously people felt

that Insurance is only for classes not for masses but now the

picture is vice-versa.

The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind.

The same instinct that prompts modern businessmen today to

7


8/89

secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive

men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire

and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some sort of

sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of

insurance is largely a development of the recent past, particularly

after the industrial era past few centuries yet its beginnings

date back almost 6000 years.

Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in

the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by

Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on

Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that

period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs

of European community and these companies were not insuring

Indian natives. However, later with the efforts of eminent people

like Babu Muttylal Seal, the foreign life insurance companies

started insuring Indian lives. But Indian lives were being treated

as sub-standard lives and heavy extra premiums were being

charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded

the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870,

and covered Indian lives at normal rates. Starting as Indianenterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance companies

came into existence to carry the message of insurance and social

security through insurance to various sectors of society. Bharat

Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies

inspired by nationalism. The Swadeshi movement of 1905-1907

gave rise to more insurance companies. The United India in

Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and

the Co-operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906. In

1907, Hindustan Co-operative Insurance Company took its birth

in one of the rooms of the Jorasanko, house of the great poet

Rabindranath Tagore, in Calcutta. The Indian Mercantile,

General Assurance and Swadeshi Life (later Bombay Life) were

some of the companies established during the same period. Prior

to 1912 India had no legislation to regulate insurance business. In

the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act, and the

Provident Fund Act were passed. The Life Insurance Companies

Act 1912 made it necessary that the premium rate tables and

periodical valuations of companies should be certified by an

actuary. But the Act discriminated between foreign and Indian

companies on many accounts, putting the Indian companies at a

disadvantage.

The formation of IRDA, entrance of private life insurance

companies into India with one foreign partner, compulsory

training of Insurance agents etc. developments started to take

9


10/89

place. And this was the time when these companies started

searching for proper channel partners who can help the

organization in expanding its network and business in India.

Channel partners are those who are going to be into direct selling

of companys products i.e. the insurance policies. They are the link

between the customers and the management or company. These

channel partners are people with different profiles. They are

selected on some grounds like their network of people, their

problem handling ability, convincing power and lot many things.

The main idea behind companys Questionnaire Survey is to find

out and analyze the proper profile that can be recruited by

company as a channel partner. Company has been focusing on

some of the profile that can be very beneficial for the company.

For example Chartered Accountants, Tax Consultants, Postal

agents, Banks Daily Collection Agents etc. the main idea behind

targeting the above profile is strong client network which is really

very important for an insurance company.

The project title is Potential of Life Insurance Industry

in Surat Market. This shows the scope for private insurance

companies have great opportunities to cover the market and can

10


11/89

insure the customer. With the initiation of the deregulation in the

Indian insurance market, the monopoly of big public sector

companies in life insurance market has been broken. New private

players have entered the market and with their innovative

approaches and better use of distribution channels and

technology, they are eating in to the shares of established public

sector companies in Indian Insurance Market. Since the

deregulation has been put in to place, the market share of LIC has

come down to 71.4% in life insurance market while the private

players have captured around 17% market in the general

insurance segment. This report includes the key private players in

the insurance market such as ICICI Prudential, Kotak Life

Insurance Bajaj Allianz, Birla Sun life, and TATA AIG. It also

includes the leading competitors in the life insurance and general

insurance segments along with their market shares.

14/89

company and bring the business for the company which

ever is going at the particular point of time.

Along with it I will be gaining the thorough knowledge

of insurance sector. This will give me in more

confidence in marketing products given to me.

As the Kotak Life Insurance well reputed company in

India its great chance for me to observed different

products launch by other competitor companies like

ICICI prudential, Bajaj alliance ,LIC, Max New York

life etc. In all, it is to understand the overall working of

the Life insurance sector.

The objective behind the project is as follows:

14


15/89

5:Limitation:

Some of the difficulties and limitations faced by me

during my training are as follows:

Lack of awareness among the people This is the

biggest limitation found in this sector. Most of the people are

not aware about the importance and the necessity of the

insurance in their life. They are not aware how useful life

insurance can be for their family members if something

happens to them.

Perception of the people towards Insurance sector

People still consider insurance just as a Tax saving device. So

today also there is always a rush to buy an Insurance Policy only

at the end of the financial year like January, February and

March making the other 9 months dry for this business.

15


16/89

Insurance does not give good returns Still today

people think that Insurance does not give good returns. They are

not aware of the modern Unit Linked Insurance Plans which are

offered by most of the Private sector players. They are still under

the perception that if they take Insurance they will get only 5-6%

returns which is not true nowadays. Nowadays most of the

modern Unit Linked Insurance Plans gives returns which are

many times more than that of bank Fixed deposits, National

saving certificate, Post office deposits and Public provident fund.

Lack of awareness about the earning opportunity in

the Insurance sector People still today are not aware about

the earning opportunity that the Insurance sector gives. After the

privatization of the insurance sector many private giants have

entered the insurance sector. These private companies in order

to beat the competition and to increase their Insurance Advisors

to increase their reach to the customers are giving very high

commission rates but people are not aware of that.

Increased competition Today the competition in the

Insurance sector has became very stiff. Currently there are 14

Life Insurance companies working in India including the LIC

(life insurance Corporation of India). Today each and every

company is trying to increase their Insurance Advisors so that

they can increase their reach in the market. This situation has

16


17/89

created a scenario in which to recruit Life insurance Advisors

and to sell life Insurance Policy has became very very difficult.

RESEARCH METODOLOGY

Research always starts with a question or a problem. Its purpose

is to question through the application of the scientific method. It is

a systematic and intensive study directed towards a more complete

knowledge of the subject studied. Marketing research is the

function which links the consumer, customer and public to the

marketer through information- information used to identify and

define marketing opportunities and problems generate, refine, and

evaluate marketing actions, monitor marketing actions, monitor

marketing performance and improve understanding of market as a

process.

Marketing research specifies the information required to address

these issues, designs, and the method for collecting information,

17


18/89

manage and implemented the data collection process, analyses the

results and communicate the findings and their implication.

I have prepared our project as descriptive type, as the objective of

the study demands the answers of the question related to find the

potentiality of life insurance in Surat: How much potential is

there in Surat?

The Marketing Research ProcessAs marketing research is a systemic and formalized process, it

follows a certain sequence of research action. The marketing

process has the following steps:

Formulating the problems

Developing objectives of the research

Designing an effective research plan

Data collection techniques

Evaluating the data and preparing a research report

There are two types of data collection method use in my project

report.

Primary data

Secondary data.

18


19/89

For my project, I decided on primary data collection method for

observing working of company and approaching customers

directly in the field, tele-calling, cold calling, campaigning and

through references to know their interest in business with company

in my project and also make questionnaire for creating database

of business class people is Surat city for company.

I decided on Secondary data collection method was used by

referring to various websites, books, magazines, journals and

daily newspapers for collecting information regarding project

under study.

19


20/89

DATA COLLECTION

After the research methodology, research problem in

marketing has been identified and selected; the next step is

together the requisite data. There are two types of data collection

method primary data and secondary data.

In our live project, we decided primary data collection

method because our study nature does not permit to apply

observational method. In survey approach we had selected a

questionnaire method for taking a customer view because it is

feasible from the point of view of our subject & survey purpose.

We conducted 200 sample of survey in our project.

Brief History of the Insurance Sector in India

The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started

in India in the year 1818 with the establishment of the Oriental

Life Insurance Company in Calcutta.

The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind.

The same instinct that prompts modern businessmen today to

secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive

men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire

and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some sort of

sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of

insurance is largely a development of the recent past, particularly

after the industrial era past few centuries yet its beginnings

date back almost 6000 years.

Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in

the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by

Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on

22


23/89

Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that

period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs

of European community and these companies were not insuring

Indian natives. However, later with the efforts of eminent people

like Babu Muttylal Seal, the foreign life insurance companies

started insuring Indian lives. But Indian lives were being treated

as sub-standard lives and heavy extra premiums were being

charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded

the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870,

and covered Indian lives at normal rates. Starting as Indian

enterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance companies

came into existence to carry the message of insurance and social

security through insurance to various sectors of society. Bharat

Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies

inspired by nationalism. The Swadeshi movement of 1905-1907

gave rise to more insurance companies. The United India in

Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and

the Co-operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906. In

1907, Hindustan Co-operative Insurance Company took its birth

in one of the rooms of the Jorasanko, house of the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, in Calcutta. The Indian Mercantile,

General Assurance and Swadeshi Life (later Bombay Life) were

some of the companies established during the same period. Prior

23


24/89

to 1912 India had no legislation to regulate insurance business. In

the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act, and the

Provident Fund Act were passed. The Life Insurance Companies

Act 1912 made it necessary that the premium rate tables and

periodical valuations of companies should be certified by an

actuary. But the Act discriminated between foreign and Indian

companies on many accounts, putting the Indian companies at a

disadvantage.

The first two decades of the twentieth century saw lot of growth in

insurance business. From 44 companies with total business-in-

force as Rs.22.44 crore, it rose to 176 companies with total

business-in-force as Rs.298 crore in 1938. During the

mushrooming of insurance companies many financially unsound

concerns were also floated which failed miserably. The Insurance

Act 1938 was the first legislation governing not only life insurance

but also non-life insurance to provide strict state control over

insurance business. The demand for nationalization of life

insurance industry was made repeatedly in the past but it gathered

momentum in 1944 when a bill to amend the Life Insurance Act1938 was introduced in the Legislative Assembly. However, it was

much later on the 19th of January 1956 that life insurance in India

was nationalized. About 154 Indian insurance companies, 16 non-

24


25/89

Indian companies and 75 provident were operating in India at the

time of nationalization. Nationalization was accomplished in two

stages; initially the management of the companies was taken over

by means of an Ordinance, and later, the ownership too by means

of a comprehensive bill. The Parliament of India passed the Life

Insurance Corporation Act on the 19th of June 1956, and the Life

Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st September,

1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance much more

widely and in particular to the rural areas with a view to reach all

insurable persons in the country, providing them adequate

financial cover at a reasonable cost.

LIC had 5 zonal offices, 33 divisional offices and 212 branch

offices, apart from its corporate office in the year 1956. Since life

insurance contracts are long-term contracts and during the

currency of the policy it requires a variety of services need was felt

in the later years to expand the operations and place a branch

office at each district headquarter. Re-organization of LIC took

place and large numbers of new branch offices were opened. As a

result of re-organization servicing functions were transferred to

the branches, and branches were made accounting units. It workedwonders with the performance of the corporation. It may be seen

that from about 200.00 Crores of New Business in 1957 the

corporation crossed 1000.00 Crores only in the year 1969-70, and

25


26/89

it took another 10 years for LIC to cross 2000.00 crore mark of

new business. But with re-organization happening in the early

eighties, by 1985-86 LIC had already crossed 7000.00 crore Sum

Assured on new policies.

Today LIC functions with 2048 fully computerized branch offices,

100 divisional offices, 7 zonal offices and the corporate office.

LICs Wide Area Network covers 100 divisional offices and

connects all the branches through a Metro Area Network. LIC has

tied up with some Banks and Service providers to offer on-line

premium collection facility in selected cities. LICs ECS and ATM

premium payment facility is an addition to customer convenience.

Apart from on-line Kiosks and IVRS, Info Centers have been

commissioned at Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai,

Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, Pune and many other cities. With

a vision of providing easy access to its policyholders, LIC has

launched its SATELLITE SAMPARK offices. The satellite offices

are smaller, leaner and closer to the customer. The digitalized

records of the satellite offices will facilitate anywhere servicing

and many other conveniences in the future.

From then to now, LIC has crossed many milestones and has set

unprecedented performance records in various aspects of life

insurance business. The same motives which inspired our

26


27/89

forefathers to bring insurance into existence in this country inspire

us at LIC to take this message of protection to light the lamps of

security in as many homes as possible and to help the people in

providing security to their families.

Some of the important milestones in the life

insurance business in India are:

1850Non life insurance debuts with triton insurance company.

1870 Bombay mutual life assurance society is the first Indian

owned life insurer

1912 The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the

first statute to regulate the life insurance business.

1928 The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable

the government to collect statistical information about both life

and non-life insurance businesses.

1938 Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the

Insurance Act with the objective of protecting the interests of the

insuring public.

27


28/89

1956 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies

taken over by the central government and nationalized. LIC

formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956, with a capital

contribution of Rs. 5 Crore from the Government of India.

The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can

trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company Ltd., the first

general insurance company established in the year 1850 in

Calcutta by the British. Some of the important milestones in the

general insurance business in India are:

1907 The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first

company to transact all classes of general insurance business.

1957 General Insurance Council, a wing of the InsuranceAssociation of India, frames a code of conduct for ensuring fair

conduct and sound business practices.

1968 The Insurance Act amended to regulate investments and set

minimum solvency margins and the Tariff Advisory Committee set

up.

1972 The General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act,

1972 nationalized the general insurance business in India with

effect from 1st January 1973. 107 insurers amalgamated and

grouped into four companies viz. the National Insurance

28


29/89

Company Ltd., the New India Assurance Company Ltd., the

Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. and the United India Insurance

Company Ltd. GIC incorporated as a company.

Insurance sector reforms

In 1993, Malhotra Committee, headed by former Finance

Secretary and RBI Governor R. N. Malhotra, was formed to

evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommend its future

direction.

The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of

complementing the reforms initiated in the financial sector. The

reforms were aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive

financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy

keeping in mind the structural changes currently underway and

recognizing that insurance is an important part of the overall

financial system where it was necessary to address the need for

similar reforms In 1994, the committee submitted the report

and some of the key recommendations included.

29


30/89

1997 Insurance regulator IRDA set up

2000 IRDA starts giving licenses to private insurers: Kotak

Life Insurance ICICI prudential and HDFC Standard Life

insurance first private insurers to sell a policy

2001 Royal Sundaram Alliance first non life insurer to sell

a policy 2002 Banks allowed to sell insurance plans.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development

Authority (IRDA)

The Insurance Act, 1938 had provided for setting up of the

Controller of Insurance to act as a strong and powerful

supervisory and regulatory authority for insurance. Post

nationalization, the role of Controller of Insurance diminished

considerably in significance since the Government owned the

insurance companies.

But the scenario changed with the private and foreign companies

foraying in to the insurance sector. This necessitated the need for

a strong, independent and autonomous Insurance Regulatory

Authority was felt. As the enacting of legislation would have taken

time, the then Government constituted through a Government

resolution an Interim Insurance Regulatory Authority pending the

enactment of a comprehensive legislation.

30


31/89

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 is

an act to provide for the establishment of an Authority to protect

the interests of holders of insurance policies, to regulate, promote

and ensure orderly growth of the insurance industry and for

matters connected therewith or incidental thereto and further to

amend the Insurance Act, 1938, the Life Insurance Corporation

Act, 1956 and the General insurance Business (Nationalization)

Act, 1972 to end the monopoly of the Life Insurance Corporation

of India (for life insurance business) and General Insurance

Corporation and its subsidiaries (for general insurance business).

The act extends to the whole of India and will come into force on

such date as the Central Government may, by notification in the

Official Gazette specify. Different dates may be appointed for

different provisions of this Act.

The Act has defined certain terms; some of the most important

ones are as follows

appointed day means the date on which the Authority is

established under the act. Authority means the established under

this Act.

31


32/89

Interim Insurance Regulatory Authority means the Insurance

Regulatory Authority set up by the Central Government through

Resolution No. 17(2)/ 94-lns-V dated the 23rd January, 1996.

Words and expressions used and not defined in this Act but defined

in the Insurance Act, 1938 or the Life Insurance Corporation Act,

1956 or the General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act,

1972 shall have the meanings respectively assigned to them in

those Acts

A new definition of "Indian Insurance Company" has been

inserted. "Indian insurance company" means any insurer being a

company (a) which is formed and registered under the Companies

Act,

(b) in which the aggregate holdings of equity shares by a foreign

company, either by itself or through its subsidiary companies or its

nominees, do not exceed twenty-six per cent. Paid up capital in

such Indian insurance company (c) whose sole purpose is to carry

on life insurance business, general insurance business or re-
