CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1Insurance in India
In 2003, the Indian insurance market ranked 19th globally and was the fifth largest in Asia.
Although it accounts for only 2.5% of premiums in Asia, it has the potential to become one
of the biggest insurance markets in the region. A combination of factors underpins further
strong growth in the market, including sound economic fundamentals, rising household
wealth and a further improvement in the regulatory framework. The insurance industry in
India has come a long way since the time when businesses were tightly regulated andconcentrated in the hands of a few public sector insurers.
Following the passage of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act in 1999, India
abandoned public sector exclusivity in the insurance industry in favor of market-driven
competition. This shift has brought about major changes to the industry. The inauguration of
a new era of insurance development has seen the entry of international insurers, the
proliferation of innovative products and distribution channels, and the raising of supervisory
standards. The insurance sector in India has come with a full circle from being an opencompetitive market to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the
developments in the Indian insurance sector reveals the 360 degree turn witnessed over a
period of almost two centuries. Insurance in India used to be tightly regulated and
monopolized by state-run insurers. Following the move towards economic reform in the
early 1990s, various plans to revamp the sector finally resulted in the passage of the
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Act of 1999.

Significantly, the insurance business was opened on two fronts. Firstly, domestic private-sector
companies were permitted to enter both life and non life insurance business. Secondly,
foreign companies were allowed to participate, albeit with a cap on shareholding at 26%.
With the introduction of the 1999 IRDA Act, the insurance sector joined a set of other
economic sectors on the growth march. During the 2003 financial year1, life insurance
premiums increased by an estimated 12.3% in real terms to INR 650 billion (USD 14 billion)
while non-life insurance premiums rose 12.2% to INR 178 billion (USD 3.8 billion). The
strong growth in 2003 did not come in isolation. Growth in insurance premiums has been
averaging at 11.3% in real terms over the last decade.
Insurance in India can be traced back to the Vedas. For instance, yogakshema, the
name of Life Insurance Corporation of India's corporate headquarters, is derived from the Rig
Veda. The term suggests that a form of "community insurance" was prevalent around 1000 BC and
practiced by the Aryans.
Burial societies of the kind found in ancient Rome were formed in the Buddhist
period to help families build houses, protect widows and children. Bombay Mutual Assurance
Society, the first Indian life assurance society, was formed in 1870. Other companies like Oriental,
Bharat and Empire of India were also set up in the 1870-90s. It was during the swadeshi movement
in the early 20th century that insurance witnessed a big boom in India with several more
companies being set up.
As these companies grew, the government began to exercise control on them. The
Insurance Act was passed in 1912, followed by a detailed and amended Insurance Act of 1938 that
looked into investments, expenditure and management of these companies' funds.

1.2Insurance 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 thereport and some of the key recommendations included:
I) Structure
Government stake in the insurance companies to be brought down to 50%.
Government should take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries so that these subsidiaries can
act as independent corporations.
All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate.
II) Completion
Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs. 1bn should be allowed to enter the
industry.
No Company should deal in both Life and General Insurance through a single entity.
Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the domestic
companies.
III) Regulatory Body

Percentages and averages will be calculated wherever required.
The data will be diagrammatically represented in the form of graphs and charts.
2.8 The Tools Used For Calculation
Standard deviation
Beta
Alpha
Arithmetic mean
AM=y/N
EAST POINT COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION 6

7/70
AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF LIFE INSURANCE AS A BETTER
INVESTMENT AVENUE IN PRESENT SCENARIO
Where y= returns of NAV values
N= number of observation
Average returns that can be expected from investment. The Arithmetic returns is
appropriate as a measure of a central tendency of a number of returns calculated from particular
time i.e. for 5 years.
2.9 Returns
Investor wants to maximize expected retunes subject to their tolerance for risk.
Returns are the motivating force and principal reward in investment process and it is the keymethod available to investors in comparing alternative the investments. Measuring the historical
returns allows investor to access the how well the stocks have performed. Investor get returns
either in form of interest, dividend or capital appreciation. There are two terms, realized term and
expected return. Realized return earned in past.
RETURN=( Closing price-opening price) /opening price*100
2.10 Standard Deviation
The Standard deviation is measure of the variables around its mean or it is square
root of the sum of the squared root deviations from the mean divided the number of observation.
S.D is used to measure the variability of return i.e the a measure of dispersion. S.D
is calculated as the square root of variation. In finance investments volatility.S.D is also know ashistorical volatility and its used by investors as a gauge from the amounted of volatility.
S.D=(y-Y)

AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF LIFE INSURANCE AS A BETTER
INVESTMENT AVENUE IN PRESENT SCENARIO
N
Where y= return of Investment
Y=average return of Investment
N= number of months
SD = (R- R1)2 /n
BETA: Beta describes the relationship between the securities return and the index
returns.
Beta = + 1.0
One percent change in market index returns causes exactly one percent change in
the security return. It indicates that the security moves in tandem with the market.
Beta = + 0.5
One percent change in the market index return causes 0.5 percent change in the
security return. The security is less volatile compared to the market.
Beta = + 2.0
One percent change in the market index return causes 2 percent change in the
security return. The security return is more volatile. When there is a decline of 10% in the market
return, the security with beta of 2 would give a negative return of 20%. The security with morethan 1 beta value is considered to be risky.
Negative Beta
EAST POINT COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION 8
7/31/2019 PRAMOD PROJECT11
9/70
AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF LIFE INSURANCE AS A BETTER
INVESTMENT AVENUE IN PRESENT SCENARIO
Negative beta value indicates that the security return moves in the opposite
direction to the market return. A security with a negative beta of -1 would provide a return of 10%,
if the market return declines by 10% and vice-versa.
Beta= N*xy-(x)(y)
N*(x)-(x)
Where N=No of observation
X=Total of market index value
Y=Total of return to Nav
B = [ (Ra Ra1)(Rm-Rm1)]/ (Rm-Rm1)2
Where Ra = Return on Company, Ra1= Average return on company
Rm= Return on market, Rm1= Average return on market
ALPHA:
Alpha represent the forecast of residual return, which we consider the future return
of any Investment. Alpha measures the unsystematic risk of a Investment property because the
portfolio Investment also consists of both residual return and future expectation.
It is important to remember that the risk-free Investment will always show a zero
residual return hence, any risk less security like cash will have always alpha equal to zero. Apositive alpha of 1.0 means the fund has outperformed its benchmark index by 1%
correspondingly, a similar negative alpha would indicate an underperformance of 1%. Alpha
indicates that the stock return is independent of the market return .A positive value of alpha is a
EAST POINT COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION 9

AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF LIFE INSURANCE AS A BETTER
INVESTMENT AVENUE IN PRESENT SCENARIO
healthy sign. Positive alpha values would yield profitable return.
The Formula is used to calculate:-
Alpha=Y-beta(x)
Where
Y-average return to nav return X-average return to market index
Alpha = (Ra1-Rm1)*B
CHAPTER 3
INDUSTRY PROFILE
3.1Present Scenario of Insurance IndustryIndia with about 200 million middle class household shows a huge untapped
potential for players in the insurance industry. Saturation of markets in many developed economies
has made the Indian market even more attractive for global insurance majors. The insurance sector
in India has come to a position of very high potential and competitiveness in the market. Indians,
have always seen life insurance as a tax saving device, are now suddenly turning to the private
sector that are providing them new products and variety for their choice.
Consumers remain the most important centre of the insurance sector. After the
entry of the foreign players the industry is seeing a lot of competition and thus improvement of the
customer service in the industry. Computerization of operations and updating of technology has
EAST POINT COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION 10

11/70
AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF LIFE INSURANCE AS A BETTER
INVESTMENT AVENUE IN PRESENT SCENARIO
become imperative in the current scenario. Foreign players are bringing in international best
practices in service through use of latest technologies
The insurance agents still remain the main source through which insurance productsare sold. The concept is very well established in the country like India but still the increasing use
of other sources is imperative. At present the distribution channels that are available in the market
are listed below.
Direct selling
Corporate agents
Brokers and cooperative societies
Banc assurance
Customers have tremendous choice from a large variety of products from pure term
(risk) insurance to unit-linked investment products. Customers are offered unbundled products
with a variety of benefits as riders from which they can choose. More customers are buying
products and services based on their true needs and not just traditional moneyback policies, which
is not considered very appropriate for long-term protection and savings. There is lots of saving and
investment plans in the market. However, there are still some key new products yet to be
introduced - e.g. health products.
The rural consumer is now exhibiting an increasing propensity for insurance
products. A research conducted exhibited that the rural consumers are willing to dole out anything
between Rs.3,500 and Rs.2,900 as premium each year. In the insurance the awareness level for life
insurance is the highest in rural India, but the consumers are also aware about motor, accidents and
cattle insurance. In a study conducted by MART the results showed that nearly one third said that
they had purchased some kind of insurance with the maximum penetration skewed in favor of life
insurance. The study also pointed out the private companies have huge task to play in creating
EAST POINT COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION 11

awareness and credibility among the rural populace. The perceived benefits of buying a life policy
range from security of income bulk return in future, daughter's marriage, children's education and
good return on savings, in that order, the study adds.
3.2A brief history of the Insurance sector
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.
Some of the important milestones in the life insurance business in
India are
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.
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.

Other Functions
EAST POINT COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION 23
7/31/2019 PRAMOD PROJECT11
24/70
AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF LIFE INSURANCE AS A BETTER
INVESTMENT AVENUE IN PRESENT SCENARIO
The primary functions of insurance include the following
Provide Protection
The primary function of insurance is to provide protection against future risk,
accidents and uncertainty. Insurance cannot check the happening of the risk, but can certainly
provide for the losses of risk. Insurance is actually a protection against economic loss, by sharing
the risk with others.
Collective bearing of risk
Insurance is a device to share the financial loss of few among many others.Insurance is a mean by which few losses are shared among larger number of people. All the
insured contribute the premiums towards a fund and out of which the persons exposed to a
particular risk is paid.
Assessment of risk
Insurance determines the probable volume of risk by evaluating various factors that
give rise to risk. Risk is the basis for determining the premium rate also.
Provide Certainty
Insurance is a device, which helps to change from uncertainty to certainty.
Insurance is device whereby the uncertain risks may be made more certain.
The secondary functions of insurance include the following
EAST POINT COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION 24
7/31/2019 PRAMOD PROJECT11
25/70
AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF LIFE INSURANCE AS A BETTER
INVESTMENT AVENUE IN PRESENT SCENARIO
Prevention of Losses
Insurance cautions individuals and businessmen to adopt suitable device to prevent
unfortunate consequences of risk by observing safety instructions; installation of automaticsparkler or alarm systems, etc. Prevention of losses cause lesser payment to the assured by the
insurer and this will encourage for more savings by way of premium. Reduced rate of premiums
stimulate for more business and better protection to the insured.
Small capital to cover larger risks
Insurance relieves the businessmen from security investments, by paying small
amount of premium against larger risks and uncertainty.
Contributes towards the development of larger industries
Insurance provides development opportunity to those larger industries having more
risks in their setting up. Even the financial institutions may be prepared to give credit to sick
industrial units which have insured their assets including plant and machinery.
The other functions of insurance include the following

positioning the strategy would focus on the marketing mix namely, Product, Price, Place and
Promotion. While determining the implementation methodology, the four characteristics viz.
Intangibility, Inseparability, Perish ability and Variability gives rise to certain unique requirements

implementation, the insurers should concentrate on the effective control that would enhance their
business.
In India Insurance is sold and not bought. The agents / Advisors by using various
strategies sell the product by convincing the customers. Moreover, they push Policies with the
highest premium to pocket a higher commission. The consultative approach to selling is the
modern approach, which helps customers and prospects to buy. A consultant makes calls and sells
just like any other sales person. The difference is in their attitude, their approach and theircommitment. Here, the customer is seen as a person to be served and not a person to be sold. It
helps the purchaser to make an intelligent decision. The four-step process includes
1. Need discovery.
2. Selection of the product.

Liberalization And Privatisation (How The Different Key Players Came Into
Market?)
India's economic development made it a most lucrative Insurance market in the
world. Before the year 1999, there was monopoly state run LIC transacting life business and the
General Insurance Corporation of India with its four Subsidiaries transacting the rest. In the wake
of reform process and passing Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Act
through Indian parliament in 1999, Indian Insurance was opened for private companies.

to maintain the functional networks or competitive standards and services. To survive in the
Industry they analyse, the emerging requirements of the policyholders/insurers and they are in the
forefront in providing essential services and introducing novel products. Thereby they become
niche specialists, who provide the right service to the right person in right time.

increased their market share to 23.93 per cent. Among them ICICI prudential is ranked first in
capturing the market followed by Bajaj Allianz and HDFC Standard. In the General Insurance
sector the private players have captured 27.35 per cent. Among them ICICI-Lombard is ranked
first, followed by Bajaj Allianz and IFFCO-Tokyo.
The healthy competition in the sector enabled the State owned insurers of our mother country to
reduce its market share to 76.07 per cent and 72.65 percent in life and non-life business
respectively. Moreover, private insurers have planned to increase their market share in the next
