Introduction
Origin of The Report
This report has been prepared as the course requirement of the BBA program of
Dhaka City College under the National University. My internship course is
supervised by Mohammad Mosharraf Hossain, Assistant Professor. This report
was based upon the overall operations of the head office of Global Insurance
Limited (GIL).
Insurance is the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another in
exchange for payment. It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge
against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. An insurer, or insurance carrier, is a
company selling the insurance; the insured, or policyholder, is the person or entity
buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to be charged for a certain amount
of insurance coverage is called the premium. Risk management, the practice of
appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.
The transaction involves the insured assuming a guaranteed and known relatively
small loss in the form of payment to the insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise
to compensate (indemnify) the insured in the case of a financial (personal) loss. The
insured receives a contract, called the insurance policy, which details the conditions
and circumstances under which the insured will be financially compensated.
Global Insurance Ltd. - is one of the names which incorporated earlier, because
meowed quickly with its higher performance in the industry. But its journey to the
growth and prosperity has been no bed of roses. From the incorporation in 2000, it has
today burgeoned into one of the top line conglomerates in Bangladesh. Global
Insurance ltd is one of the strongest companies in insurance industry.

economy.
After the emergence of the People‟s Republic of Bangladesh in 1971, the government,
in order to make available the fruit of liberation to the general mass, nationalized the
insurance industry along with the banks in 1972 by Presidential Order No. 95. At the

viz, Jatiya Bima Corporation (National Insurance Corporation), Teesta Bima
Corporation (Teesta Insurance Corporation), Karnaphuli Bima Corporation
(Karnaphuli Insurance Corporation), Rupsa Jiban Bima Corporation (Rupsa Life
Insurance Corporation), Surma Jiban Bima Corporation (Surma Life Insurance
Corporation). On 14th May, 1973 the Insurance Corporation Act VI, 1973 was
enacted under which the previous five corporations were abolished and the following

Reinsurance occurs when multiple insurance companies share risk by purchasing
insurance policies from other insurers to limit the total loss the original insurer would
experience in case of disaster. By spreading risk, an individual insurance company
can take on clients whose coverage would be too great of a burden for the single
insurance company to handle alone. When reinsurance occurs, the premium paid by
the insured is typically shared by all of the insurance companies involved.
Global Insurance Ltd. has obtained adequate re-insurance cover from state-owned
Sadharan Bima Corporation through a surplus treaty agreement. Besides, they are in
close liaison with foreign insurance mainly JB Boda technical experts and can obtain
any expert opinion within a very short period of time. They are in a position to

to accept new clients and avoid the need to raise additional capital.

proper rating and premium.
