    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

  • 8/12/2019 Marketing Reliance Life Insurance

    6/107

    RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE

    6

    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.

    RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE

    35

    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.

    investment, insurance is a compulsory way of savings and it restricts the

    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

    38/107

    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.

  • 8/12/2019 Marketing Reliance Life Insurance

    40/107

    RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE

    40

    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

  • 8/12/2019 Marketing Reliance Life Insurance

    41/107

    RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE

    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

    42/107

    RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE

    42

    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 is taken by a business firm on the life of key

    employee(s) to protect the firm against financial losses, which may occur due to

    the premature demise of the Key man

    PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE

    of a valid contract, insurance contracts are subject to some additional principles.

    These principles provide the framework within which the product and all the

    HISTORY OF INDIAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

    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 190 years.

    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 statuteto 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

  • 8/12/2019 Marketing Reliance Life Insurance

    RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE

    46

    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 Insurance Association 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, 1972nationalized the general insurance business in India with effect from 1st January

    1973.

    107 insurers amalgamated and grouped into four companies viz. the

  • 8/12/2019 Marketing Reliance Life Insurance

    47/107

    RELIANCE LIFE INSURANCE

    47

    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.

    income from new business at Rs. 253.43 billion during the fiscal year 2004-

    2005, braving stiff competition from private insurers. This report "Indian

    Insurance Industry: New Avenues for Growth 2012", finds that the market share

    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

    private players have grabbed over 24 percent.

    There are presently 12 general insurance companies with four public

    sector companies and eight private insurers. According to estimates, private

    insurance companies collectively have a 10% share of the non-life insurance

    Indian Insurance Industry Forecast (2011-2012)

    The market research report Indian Insurance Industry Forecast (2011-

    2012) gives an in-depth analysis of the present and future of the Indian

    Insurance Industry. The market research report looks in to the details as well as

    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 deregulations have 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. It is said that,
