    Chapter I

    GENERAL INSURANCE

    1.1 Introduction of General Insurance.

    Insurance other than Life Insurance falls under the category of General

    Insurance. General Insurance comprises of insurance of property against fire,

    burglary, landslide, storm, hurricane, flood, earthquake, burglary, theft, riots or any

    damage caused to the vehicle in transit by road, air, inland waterway or rail, personal

    insurance such as Accident and Health Insurance, and liability insurance which covers

    legal liabilities. There are also other covers such as Errors and Omissions insurancefor professionals, credit insurance etc.

    General insurance companies have products that cover property against fire and

    allied perils, flood storm and inundation, earthquake and so on. There are General

    insurance products that cover property against burglary, theft etc. The General

    insurance companies also offer policies covering machinery against breakdown, there

    are policies that cover the hull of ships and so on. A Marine Cargo policy covers

    goods in transit including by sea, air and road. Further, insurance of motor vehicles

    against damages and theft forms a major chunk of General insurance business.

    In respect of insurance of property, it is important that the cover is taken for the

    actual value of the property to avoid being imposed a penalty should there be a claim.

    Where a property is undervalued for the purposes of insurance, the insured will have

    to bear a ratable proportion of the loss.

    Personal insurance covers include policies for Accident, Health etc. Health

    insurance covers offered by non-life insurers are mainly hospitalization covers either

    on reimbursement or cashless basis. The cashless service is offered through Third

    Party Administrators who have arrangements with various service providers, i.e.,

    hospitals. The Third Party Administrators also provide service for reimbursement

    claims. Sometimes the insurers themselves process reimbursement claims.

    Accident and health insurance policies are available for individuals as well as

    groups. A group could be a group of employees of an organization or holders of credit

    cards or deposit holders in a bank etc. Normally when a group is covered, insurers

    offer group discounts.

    Liability insurance covers such as Motor Third Party Liability Insurance,

    Workmens Compensation Policy etc offer cover against legal liabilities that may

    arise under the respective statutes Motor Vehicles Act, The Workmens

    Compensation Act etc. Some of the covers such as the foregoing (Motor Third Party

    and Workmens Compensation policy) are compulsory by statute. Liability Insurance

    not compulsory by statute is also gaining popularity these days. Many industries

    insure against Public liability. There are liability covers available for Products as well.

    There are general insurance products that are in the nature of package policies

    offering a combination of the covers mentioned above. For instance, there are package

    policies available for householders, shop keepers and also for professionals such as

    doctors, chartered accountants etc. Apart from offering standard covers, insurers also

    offer customized or tailor-made ones.

    Suitable general Insurance covers are necessary for every family. It is important

    to protect ones property, which one might have acquired from ones hard earned

    income. A loss or damage to ones property can leave one shattered. Losses created

    by catastrophes such as the tsunami, earthquakes, cyclones etc have left many

    homeless and penniless. Such losses can be devastating but insurance could help

    mitigate them. Property can be covered, so also the people against Personal Accident.

    A Health Insurance policy can provide financial relief to a person undergoing medical

    treatment whether due to a disease or an injury.

    Industries also need to protect themselves by obtaining insurance covers to

    protect their building, machinery, stocks etc.

    Most general insurance covers are annual contracts. However, there are few

    products that are long-term.

    It is important for proposers to read and understand the terms and conditions of a

    policy before they enter into an insurance contract. The proposal form needs to be

    filled in completely and correctly by a proposer to ensure that the cover is adequate

    and the right one.

    from an event for which there is only the opportunity for cost.

    to disclose all information about the subject of the contract. General insurance is a

    contract which is totally depending upon good faith this contract is not possible

    without the faith on each other party.

    this type of insurance useful if the entire home is destroyed, but not useful if the home

    is merely damaged. Rates depend on location and the probability of an earthquake.

    Rates may be cheaper for homes made of wood, which withstand earthquakes better

    than homes made of brick.

    DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRITATION

    The process of converting the information from a questionnaire so that it can

    be manipulated & analyzed is referred to as data preparation. This process normally

    follows data entry & data tabulation. The purpose of the data preparation is to take

    data in its raw form & convert it into meaningful & information.

    While conducting a research, presentation of collected data is an important

    stage. The collected data should be interpreted properly so as to reach out a proper

    conclusion. Thus data collected must be edited & tabulated into statically form on the

    basis of questionnaire. After the data have been collected, the researcher turns to the

    task of analyzing them. The analysis of data requires a number of closely related

    operations such as establishment of categories, the application of these categories to

    raw data through coding, tabulation & then drawing statistically inferences. Editing is

    the procedure that improves the quality of the data for coding. Tabulation is the part

    of technical procedure wherein the classified data are put in the form of tables.

    After analyzing the data, the researcher should have to explain the findings on

    the basis of some theory. It is known as interpretation. Coding operation is usually

    done at this stage through which the categories of data are transformed into symbol

    that may be tabulated & counted.

    Tabulation the simple process of counting the number of respondents who

    gave answer to each question in the questionnaire. The successful completion of every

    study depends on the authenticity of the observation. To observe the collected data

    carefully, following is the detail analysis of data collected through a structured

    questionnaire, the analysis & interpretation of 150 respondents is given below.
