Introduction to the project
Reliance Life Insurance Company Limited is a part of Reliance CapitalLtd. of the Reliance - ANIL DHIRUBHAI AMBANI Group. Reliance Capital is
one of Indias leading private sector financial services companies, and ranks
among the top 3 private sector financial services and banking companies, in
terms of net worth. Reliance Capital has interests in asset management and
mutual funds, stock broking, life and general insurance, proprietary investments,
private equity and other activities in financial services.
Yet, nearly 80 per cent of Indian population is without life insurance
cover while health insurance and non-life insurance continues to be below
international standards. And this part of the population is also subject to weak
social security and pension systems with hardly any old age income security.
This itself is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector is
immense.

PROFILE OF THE COMPANY
RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE CO. LTD.
Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their countrys
economic fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Shri. DHIRUBHAI
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 describingthe 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 greatestwealth 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 capitalof 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 globalFortune 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.
Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first-timeretail 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 Dhirubhai extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted oneof 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 theordinary 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.

OVERVIEW OF INSURANCE SECTOR
With 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 450
billion. Together with banking services, it adds about 7 per cent to the countrys
GDP. Gross premium collection is nearly 2 per cent of GDP and funds available
with LIC for investments are 8 per cent of GDP.
Yet, nearly 80 per cent of Indian population is without life insurance
cover while health insurance and non-life insurance continues to be below
international standards. And this part of the population is also subject to weak
social security and pension systems with hardly any old age income security.
This itself is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector is
immense.
A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is needed for economic
development as it provides long-term funds for infrastructure development and
at the same time strengthens the risk taking ability. It is estimated that over the
next ten years India would require investments of the order of one trillion US
dollar. The Insurance sector, to some extent, can enable investments in
infrastructure development to sustain economic growth of the country.
Insurance is a federal subject in India. There are two legislations that
govern the sector- The Insurance Act- 1938 and the IRDA Act- 1999. The
insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open competitive

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.
Indian Insurance Industry:Insurance may be described as a social device to
reduce or eliminate risk of life and property. Under the plan of insurance, a
large number of people associate themselves by sharing risk, attached to
individual.
The risk, which can be insured against include fire, the peril of sea, death,
incident, & burglary. Any risk contingent upon these may be insured against at
a premium commensurate with the risk involved.
Insurance is actually a contract between 2 parties whereby one party
called insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed sum called premium to pay
the other party happening of a certain event.
Insurance is a contract whereby, in return for the payment of premium by
the insured, the insurers pay the financial losses suffered by the insured as a
result of the occurrence of unforeseen events.
With the help of Insurance, large number of people exposed to a similar
risk make contributions to a common fund out of which the losses suffered by
the unfortunate few, due to accidental events, are made good

What is Life Insurance?
Life insurance is a guarantee that your family will receive financial
support, even in your absence. Put simply, life insurance provides your family
with a sum of money should something happen to you. It thus permanently
protects your family from financial crises.
In addition to serving as a protective cover, life insurance acts as a
flexible money-saving scheme, which empowers you to accumulate wealth-to
buy a new car, get your children married and even retire comfortably.

Life insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the
person assured (or his nominee) on the happening of the event insured against.
The contract is valid for payment of the insured amount during:
The date of maturity, or Specified dates at periodic intervals, or Unfortunate death, if it occurs earlier
The functions of Insurance can be bifurcated into two parts:
1. Primary Functions
2. Secondary Functions
3. Other Functions
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:
Prevention of Losses- Insurance cautions individuals and businessmen to adopt
suitable device to prevent unfortunate consequences of risk by observing safety
instructions; installation of automatic sparkler 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.

Need for Life Insurance
Today, there is no shortage of investment options for a person to choose
from. Modern day investments include gold, property, fixed income instruments,
mutual funds and of course, life insurance. Given the plethora of choices, it
becomes imperative to make the right choice when investing your hard-earned
money. Life insurance is a unique investment that helps you to meet your dual
needs - saving for life's important goals, and protecting your assets.
LET US LOOK AT THESE UNIQUE BENEFITS OF
LIFE INSURANCE IN DETAIL.
Asset Protection
From an investor's point of view, an investment can play two roles - asset
appreciation or asset protection. While most financial instruments have the
underlying benefit of asset appreciation, life insurance is unique in that it gives
the customer the reassurance of asset protection, along with a strong element of
asset appreciation.
The core benefit of life insurance is that the financial interests of ones
family remain protected from circumstances such as loss of income due to
critical illness or death of the policyholder. Simultaneously, insurance products
also have a strong inbuilt wealth creation proposition. The customer therefore
benefits on two counts and life insurance occupies a unique space in thelandscape of investment options available to a customer.
Goal based savings
Each of us has some goals in life for which we need to save. For a young,
newly married couple, it could be buying a house. Once, they decide to start a
8/12/2019 Marketing Reliance Life Insurance

RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE
38
family, the goal changes to planning for the education or marriage of their
children. As one grows older, planning for one's retirement will begin to take
precedence.
Clearly, as your life stage and therefore your financial goals change, the
instrument in which you invest should offer corresponding benefits pertinent to
the new life stage.
Life insurance is the only investment option that offers specific products tailor-
made for different life stages. It thus ensures that the benefits offered to the
customer reflect the needs of the customer at that particular life stage, and hence
ensures that the financial goals of that life stage are met.
The table below gives a general guide to the plans that are appropriate for
different life stages.

Contract of Insurance:
A contract of insurance is a contract of utmost good faith technically
known as uberrima fides. The doctrine of disclosing all material facts is
embodied in this important principle, which applies to all forms of insurance.
At the time of taking a policy, policyholder should ensure that all
questions in the proposal form are correctly answered. Any misrepresentation,
non-disclosure or fraud in any document leading to the acceptance of the risk
would render the insurance contract null and void.

Protection:
Savings through life insurance guarantee full protection against risk of
death of the saver. Also, in case of demise, life insurance assures payment of the
entire amount assured (with bonuses wherever applicable) whereas in other
savings schemes, only the amount saved (with interest) is payable.
Aid to Thrift:
Life insurance encourages 'thrift'. It allows long-term savings since
payments can be made effortlessly because of the 'easy installment' facility built
into the scheme. (Premium payment for insurance is monthly, quarterly, half
yearly or yearly).
For example: The Salary Saving Scheme popularly known as SSS provides a
convenient method of paying premium each month by deduction from one's
salary.In this case the employer directly pays the deducted premium to LIC. The Salary
Saving Scheme is ideal for any institution or establishment subject to specified
terms and conditions.
Liquidity:
In case of insurance, it is easy to acquire loans on the sole security of any
policy that has acquired loan value. Besides, a life insurance policy is also
generally accepted as security, even for a commercial loan.
Tax Relief:
Life Insurance is the best way to enjoy tax deductions on income tax and

41
wealth tax. This is available for amounts paid by way of premium for life
insurance subject to income tax rates in force.
Assesses can also avail of provisions in the law for tax relief. In such cases the
assured in effect pays a lower premium for insurance than otherwise.
Money When You Need It:
A policy that has a suitable insurance plan or a combination of different
plans can be effectively used to meet certain monetary needs that may arise fromtime-to-time.
Children's education, start-in-life or marriage provision or even periodical needs
for cash over a stretch of time can be less stressful with the help of these
policies.
Alternatively, policy money can be made available at the time of one's
retirement from service and used for any specific purpose, such as, purchase of a
house or for other investments. Also, loans are granted to policyholders for
house building or for purchase of flats (subject to certain conditions) .
Who Can Buy A Policy?
Any person who has attained majority and is eligible to enter into a valid
contract can insure himself/herself and those in whom he/she has insurable
interest.
Policies can also be taken, subject to certain conditions, on the life of
one's spouse or children. While underwriting proposals, certain factors such as
8/12/2019 Marketing Reliance Life Insurance

the policyholders state of health, the proponent's income and other relevant
factors are considered by the Corporation.
Insurance For Women
Prior to nationalization (1956), many private insurance companies would
offer insurance to female lives with some extra premium or on restrictive
conditions. However, after nationalization of life insurance, the terms under
which life insurance is granted to female lives have been reviewed from time-to-
time.
At present, women who work and earn an income are treated at par with
men. In other cases, a restrictive clause is imposed, only if the age of the female
is up to 30 years and if she does not have an income attracting Income Tax.
Medical And Non-Medical Schemes
Life insurance is normally offered after a medical examination of the lifeto be assured. However, to facilitate greater spread of insurance and also to
avoid inconvenience, LIC has been extending insurance cover without any
medical examination, subject to certain conditions.
With Profit And Without Profit Plans
An insurance policy can be 'with' or 'without' profit. In the former,
bonuses disclosed, if any, after periodical valuations are allotted to the policy
and are payable along with the contracted amount.
In 'without' profit plan the contracted amount is paid without any addition.
The premium rate charged for a 'with' profit policy is therefore higher than for a

'without' profit policy.
Key man Insurance
Key man insurance is taken by a business firm on the life of key

the premature demise of the Key man

competitive 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 190 years.

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

National Insurance 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.
Before insurance sector was opened to the private sector Life Insurance
Corporation (LIC) was the only insurance company in India. After the opening
up of Insurance sector in India there has been a glut of insurance companies in
India. These companies have come up with innovative and flexible insurance
policies to cater to varying needs of the individual. Opening up of the Insurance
sector has also forced the LIC to tighten up its belt and deliver better service. All
in all it has been a bonanza for the consumer.
The life insurance business in India started since 1818. Till 1956, the
insurance business was mixed and decentralized. In 1956, the life insurance
business of all companies was nationalized and a single monolithic
organization, the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), was set up.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Bill was
passed by Indian parliament in December 1999. The IRDA become a
statutory body in April 2000 and has been framing regulations and
restrictions the private sector insurance companies.
The insurance sector was opened up to the private sector in August 2000.
Consequently, some Indian and foreign private companies have entered the
insurance business. There are about 16 life insurance companies operating in theprivate sector in India.
The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open
competitive 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.
ABOUT THE INDUSTRY:
With an annual growth rate of 15-20% and the largest number of life
insurance policies in force, the potential of the Indian insurance industry is huge.
Total value of the Indian insurance market (2004-05) is estimated at Rs. 450
billion (US$10 billion). According to government sources, the insurance and
banking services' contribution to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) is
7% out of which the gross premium collection forms a significant part. The
funds available with the state-owned Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) for
investments are 8% of GDP.
Till date, only 20% of the total insurable population of India is covered
under various life insurance schemes, the penetration rates of health and other
non-life insurances in India is also well below the international level. These
facts indicate the of immense growth potential of the insurance sector.
The year 1999 saw a revolution in the Indian insurance sector, as major
structural changes took place with the ending of government monopoly and the
passage of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Bill,
lifting all entry restrictions for private players and allowing foreign players to
enter the market with some limits on direct foreign ownership.

Though, the existing rule says that a foreign partner can hold 26% equity
in an insurance company, a proposal to increase this limit to 49% is pending
with the government. Since opening up of the insurance sector in 1999, foreign
investments of Rs. 8.7 billion have poured into the Indian market and 21 private
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.

of the state behemoth, LIC, has clocked 21.87% growth in business at Rs.197.86
billion by selling 2.4 billion new policies in 2004-05. But this was still not
enough to arrest the fall in its market share, as private players grew by 129% to
mop up Rs. 55.57 billion in 2004-05 from Rs. 24.29 billion in 2003-04
Though the total volume of LIC's business increased in the last fiscal year
(2004-2005) compared to the previous one, its market share came down from
87.04 to 78.07%. The 14 private insurers increased their market share from
about 13% to about 22% in a year's time. The figures for the first two months of
the fiscal year 2005-06 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
