Future of Agriculture as Commodity in India

PREFACE

The liberalization of the Indian insurance sector has been the subject of much heated debate

for some years. The policy makers where in the catch 22 situation wherein for one they

wanted competition, development and growth of this insurance sector which is extremely

essential for channeling the investments in to the infrastructure sector. At the other end the

policy makers had the fears that the insurance premium, which are substantial, would seep

out of the country; and wanted to have a cautious approach of opening for foreign

participation in the sector.

As one of the rare occurrences the entire debate was put on the back burner and the IRDA

saw the day of the light thanks to the maturing polity emerging consensus among factions of

different political parties. Though some changes and some restrictive clauses as regards to the

foreign participation were included the IRDA has opened the doors for the private entry into

insurance.

Whether the insurer is old or new, private or public, expanding the market will present

multitude of challenges and opportunities. But the key issues, possible trends, opportunities

and challenges that insurance sector will have still remains under the realms of the

possibilities and speculation. What is the likely impact of opening up Indias insurance

sector?

The large scale of operations, public sector bureaucracies and cumbersome procedures

hampers nationalized insurers. Therefore, potential private entrants expect to score in the

areas of customer service, speed and flexibility. They point out that their entry will mean

better products and choice for the consumer. The critics counter that the benefit will be slim,

because new players will concentrate on affluent, urban customers as foreign banks did until

recently. This seems to be a logical strategy. Start-up costs-such as those of setting up a

conventional distribution network-are large and high-end niches offer better returns.

However, the middle-market segment too has great potential. Since insurance is a volumes

game. Therefore, private insurers would be best served by a middle-market approach,

targeting customer segments that are currently untapped

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In todays corporate and competitive world, I find that insurance sector has the maximum

growth and 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. This growth

potential attracts me to enter in this sector and RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE has given me

the opportunity to work and get experience in highly competitive and enhancing sector.

The success story of good market share of different market organizations depends

upon the availability of the product and services near to the customer, which can be

distributed through a distribution channel. In Insurance sector, distribution channel

includes only agents or agency holders of the company. If a company like

RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE, TATA AIG, MAX etc have adequate agents in the

market they can capture big market as compared to the other companies.

Agents are the only way for a company of Insurance sector through which policies

and benefits of the company can be explained to the customer.

INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA

AN OVERVIEW

With the largest number of life insurance policies in force in the world, Insurance happens to

be a mega opportunity in India. Its a business growing at the rate of 15-20 per cent annually

and presently is of the order of Rs 1560.41 billion (for the financial year 2006 2007).

Together with banking services, it adds about 7% to the countrys Gross Domestic Product

(GDP). The gross premium collection is nearly 2% of GDP and funds available with LIC for

investments are 8% of the GDP.

Even so nearly 65% of the Indian population is without life insurance cover while health

insurance and non-life insurance continues to be below international standards. A large part

of our population is also subject to weak social security and pension systems with hardly any

old age income security

A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is needed for economic development as it

provides long term funds for infrastructure development and strengthens the risk taking

ability of individuals. It is estimated that over the next ten years India would require

investments of the order of one trillion US dollars.


5/29

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

The history of life insurance in India dates back to 1818 when it was conceived as a means to

provide for English Widows. Interestingly in those days a higher premium was charged for

Indian lives than the non - Indian lives, as Indian lives were considered more risky to cover.

The Bombay Mutual Life Insurance Society started its business in 1870. It was the first

company to charge the same premium for both Indian and non-Indian lives.

The Oriental Assurance Company was established in 1880. The General insurance business

in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to Triton Insurance Company Limited, the first

general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British. Till the

end of the nineteenth century insurance business was almost entirely in the hands of overseascompanies.

Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the Life Insurance

Companies Act of 1912 and the Provident Fund Act of 1912. Several frauds during the 1920's

and 1930's sullied insurance business in India. By 1938 there were 176 insurance companies.

The first comprehensive legislation was introduced with the Insurance Act of 1938 that

provided strict State Control over the insurance business. The insurance business grew at a

faster pace after independence. Indian companies strengthened their hold on this business but

despite the growth that was witnessed, insurance remained an urban phenomenon.

The Government of India in 1956, brought together over 240 private life insurers and

provident societies under one nationalized monopoly corporation and Life Insurance

Corporation (LIC) was born. Nationalization was justified on the grounds that it would create

the much needed funds for rapid industrialization. This was in conformity with the

Government's chosen path of State led planning and development.

The non-life insurance business continued to thrive with the private sector till 1972. Their

operations were restricted to organized trade and industry in large cities. The general

insurance industry was nationalized in 1972. With this, nearly 107 insurers were

amalgamated and grouped into four companies- National Insurance Company, New India

Assurance Company, Oriental Insurance Company and United India Insurance Company.

These were subsidiaries of the General Insurance Company (GIC).

KEY MILESTONES

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 by the Insurance Act with the objective

of protecting the interests of the insuring public.

1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers along with provident societies were taken over by the

central government and nationalized. LIC was formed by an Act of Parliament- LIC Act

1956- with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.


7/29

INDUSTRY REFORMS

Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA Bill in

Parliament in December 1999. The IRDA since its incorporation as a statutory body in April

2000 has fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulations and registering the private

sector insurance companies. Since being set up as an independent statutory body the IRDA

has put in a framework of globally compatible regulations.

The other decision taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems to the insurance

sector and in particular the life insurance companies was the launch of the IRDA online

service for issue and renewal of licenses to agents. The approval of institutions for imparting

training to agents has also ensured that the insurance companies would have a trainedworkforce of insurance agents in place to sell their products.

PRESENT SCENARIO - LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA

The life insurance industry in India grew by an impressive 47.38%, with premium income at

Rs. 1560.41 billion during the fiscal year 2006-2007. Though the total volume of LIC's

business increased in the last fiscal year (2006-2007) compared to the previous one, its

market share came down from 85.75% to 81.91%.

The 17 private insurers increased their market share from about 15% to about 19% in a year's

time. The figures for the first two months of the fiscal year 2007-08 also speak of the growing

share of the private insurers. The share of LIC for this period has further come down to 75

percent, while the private players have grabbed over 24 percent.

With the opening up of the insurance industry in India many foreign players have entered the

market. The restriction on these companies is that they are not allowed to have more than a

26% stake in a companys ownership.

Since the opening up of the insurance sector in 1999, foreign investments of Rs. 8.7 billion

have poured into the Indian market and 19 private life insurance companies have been

granted licenses.

Innovative products, smart marketing, and aggressive distribution have enabled fledgling

private insurance companies to sign up Indian customers faster than anyone expected.

Indians, who had always seen life insurance as a tax saving device, are now suddenly turning

to the private sector and snapping up the new innovative products on offer. Some of these

products include investment plans with insurance and good returns (unit linked plans), multi

purpose insurance plans, pension plans, child plans and money back plans.

INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPANY

COMPANY PROFILE OF RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE

FOUNDER

Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their countrys economic

fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still have left behind

a legacy that is more enduring and timeless.

As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the true

genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the proud patriot,

the leader of men, the architect of Indias capital markets, the champion of shareholder

interest.

But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of Indias greatest wealth creator.

In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, Indias largest private sector

enterprise.

When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of barely

US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted this

fledgling enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossusan achievement which earned

Reliance a place on the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to

do so.

Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of Indias capital markets. In 1977, when

Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a place

patronised by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of stocks.


10/29

Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-time retail investors

to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard-earned money in the

Reliance Textile IPO, promising them, in exchange for their trust, substantial return on

their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of mutual respect and

reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.

Under Dhirubhais extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of the

greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to

become Indias largest private sector enterprise.

Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary

shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the

initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the worlds largest shareholder

families.

MAJOR PLAYERS IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN INDIAMAJOR PLAYERS IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC)

Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was established on 1 September 1956 to spread the

message of life insurance in the country and mobilise peoples savings for nation-building

activities. LIC with its central office in Mumbai and seven zonal offices at Mumbai, Calcutta,

Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kanpur and Bhopal, operates through 100 divisional offices in

important cities and 2,048 branch offices. LIC has 5.59 lakh active agents spread over the

country.

The Corporation also transacts business abroad and has offices in Fiji, Mauritius and United

Kingdom. LIC is associated with joint ventures abroad in the field of insurance, namely, Ken-

India Assurance Company Limited, Nairobi; United Oriental Assurance Company Limited,

Kuala Lumpur; and Life Insurance Corporation (International), E.C. Bahrain. It has also

entered into an agreement with the Sun Life (UK) for marketing unit linked life insurance and

pension policies in U.K.

In 1995-96, LIC had a total income from premium and investments of $ 5 Billion while GIC

recorded a net premium of $ 1.3 Billion. During the last 15 years, LIC's income grew at a

healthy average of 10 per cent as against the industry's 6.7 per cent growth in the rest of Asia

(3.4 per cent in Europe, 1.4 per cent in the US).

LIC has even provided insurance cover to five million people living below the poverty line,

with 50 per cent subsidy in the premium rates. LIC's claims settlement ratio at 95 per cent

and GIC's at 74 per cent are higher than that of global average of 40 per cent. Compounded

annual growth rate for Life insurance business has been 19.22 per cent per annum

General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC)


17/29

The general insurance industry in India was nationalized and a government company known

as General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) was formed by the Central Government in

November 1972. With effect from 1 January 1973 the erstwhile 107 Indian and foreign

insurers which were operating in the country prior to nationalization, were grouped into four

operating companies, namely, (i) National Insurance Company Limited; (ii) New India

Assurance Company Limited; (iii) Oriental Insurance Company Limited; and (iv) United

India Insurance Company Limited. (However, with effect from Dec'2000, these subsidiaries

have been de-linked from the parent company and made as independent insurance

companies). All the above four subsidiaries of GIC operate all over the country competing

with one another and underwriting various classes of general insurance business except for

aviation insurance of national airlines and crop insurance which is handled by the GIC.

Besides the domestic market, the industry is presently operating in 17 countries directly

through branches or agencies and in 14 countries through subsidiary and associate

companies.

IN ADDITION TO ABOVE STATE INSURERS THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN

PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO INSURANCE BUSINESS: -

The introduction of private players in the industry has added to the colors in the dull industry.

The initiatives taken by the private players are very competitive and have given immense

competition to the on time monopoly of the market LIC. Since the advent of the private

players in the market the industry has seen new and innovative steps taken by the players in

this sector. The new players have improved the service quality of the insurance. As a result

LIC down the years have seen the declining phase in its career. The market share was

distributed among the private players. Though LIC still holds the 75% of the insurance sector

but the upcoming natures of these private players are enough to give more competition to LIC

in the near future. LIC market share has decreased from 95% (2002-03) to 82 %( 2004-05).

INTRODUCITON

Keeping in view the experience of even strong and developed economies of the world,

it is no denying the fact that financial market is extremely volatile by nature. Indian

financial market is not an exception to this phenomenon. The attendant risk arising

out of the volatility and complexity of the financial market is an important concern

for financial analysts. As a result, the logical need is for those financial instruments

which allow fund managers to better manage or reduce these risks.

The emergence of the market for derivative products, most notably forwards, futures

and options, can be traced back to the willingness of risk-averse economic agents to

guard themselves against uncertainties arising out of fluctuations in asset prices.

By their very nature, the financial markets are marked by a very high degree ofvolatility. Through the use of derivative products, it is possible to partially or fully

transfer price risks by locking-in asset prices. As instruments of risk

management, these generally do not influence the fluctuations in the underlying

asset prices. However, by locking-in asset prices, derivative products minimize the

impact of fluctuations in asset prices on the profitability and cash flow situation of

risk-averse investors.

Description of the Project in Brief:

Since, 60% of Indian population still depends on agriculture sector and it provides
