EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Insurance industry is growing rapidly day-by-day. India itself has a population of
1.2billion out of which roughly 5% of the middle class people are insured. This
clearly demonstrates that citizens are not insured merely because they dont know
much about Insurance sector and its benefits. Generally Insurance is considered as
Tax Saving device instead of other implied long term financial benefits.
In order to study the environment for the above mentioned status, I did a market
research classifying diverse contour of the public and giving them a Business
Opportunity to join HDFC Standard Life as an advisor/agent.
A marketplace analysis was done on life insurance companies. Sample questionnaire
was formulated related to the Insurance Sector.
The vicinity covered up in this analysis was Delhi and its suburbs. The Analysis
inculcates information of public response with respect to the Insurance Sector and its
upcoming growth stratum.

INTRODUCTION
Insurance is as old as civilization. It has been developing from the family form
of insurance to mutual associations, stock exchange securities and again to state
owned organizations. Yogakshema has been the oldest term of insurance used in the
Rig-Veda for some kind of insurance.
The concept of formal insurance originated in the 12th century in the form of
protection against financial loss to the seafarers involved in foreign trade. Growing
economic uncertainties caused not only by multiplicity of social, cultural, ethnic and
political factors but also natural calamities necessitated invention and development of
avenues capable of providing economic security to the bereaved family 8in the event
of loss of bread earner. And thus began the concept of Life Insurance. With the
development of social security and the welfare status of the societies, the business of
life insurance assumed multidimensional. The disintegration in most of the societies,
of the extended family system, and ancient social institution, which provided a natural
umbrella of economic protection and emotional solace upon the death of the bread
earner led to a greater acceptability of the doctrine of life insurance and the growth of
life insurance industry around the globe. From a meager beginning of providing
pecuniary protection on the death earner it has moved to become major vehicle in the
financial planning both for security and investment purpose. The industry hardly
resembles 16th or 17th century. It would have been impossible to conceive then the
development that has propelled extensive changes in the product field, customer
attitudes and market environment.

BENEFITS OF LIFE INSURANCE :
Superior To Any Other Savings Plan
Unlike any other savings plan, a life insurance policy provides full
protection risk of death. In the event of death of a policyholders, near and dear ones.In comparisons, any other savings plan would amount to the total savings
accumulated till date. If any other incidence occurs prematurely, such savings can be
much lesser than the sum assured. Evidently, the potential financial loss to the family
of the policyholder is cease able.
Encourages and Forces Thrift
A saving deposit can easily be withdrawn. The payment of life insurance
premium, however, is considered sacrosanct and is viewed with the same seriousness
as the payment of interest on a mortgage. Thus, a life insurance policy in effect brings
about compulsory savings.
Easy Settlement And Protection Against Creditors
A life insurance policy is the only financial instrument the proceeds of
which can be protected against the claims of a creditor of the assured by effecting a
valid assignment of the policy.
Administering the Legacy for Beneficiaries
Speculative or unwise expense can quickly cause the proceeds to be
squandered. Several policies have foreseen this possibility and provide for
payments over a period of years or in a combination of installation and lump
sum amount.
A Ready Marketability and Suitability for Quick Borrowings
A life insurance policy can, after a certain time period (generally 3 years),
be surrendered for a cash value. The policy is also acceptable as a security for a
commercial loan, for example a student loan, it is particularly advisable for housing
loans when an acceptable policy may also cause the lending institution to give loan at
lower interest rates.

Disability Benefits
Death is not the only hazard that is insured, many policies also provide
disability benefits. Typically, these provide for waiver of future premiums and
payment of monthly installment spread over certain time period.
Accident Death Benefits
Many policies can also provide for an extra sum to be paid (typically
equal to the sum assured) if death occurs as a result of accident.
Tax Relief
Under the Indian tax act, the following tax relies are available
1. 30% of the premium paid can be deductible from your total income-
tax liability.
2. 100% of the premium paid is deductible from your total taxable
income.
When these benefits are factored in, it is found that most policies offer return that
are comparable/or even better than older savings modes such as PPF, NSC etc.Moreover, the cost of insurance is very negligible.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY:
Life Insurance Market in India
Many may not be aware that the life insurance industry of India is as old as it is in any
other part of the world. The first Indian life insurance company was the Oriental Life
Insurance Company, which was started in India in 1818 at Kolkata. A number of
players (Over 250 in life and about 100 in non-life) mainly with regional focus
flourished all Across the country. However, the Government of India, concerned by
the unethical Standards adopted by some players against the consumers, nationalized
the industry in Two phases in 1956 (life) and in 1972 (non-life). The insurance
business of the country Was then brought under two public sector companies, Life
Insurance Corporation of India(LIC) and General Insurance Corporation of
India (GIC).
In line with the economic reforms that were ushered in India in early nineties, the
Government set up a Committee on Reforms (popularly called the Malhotra
Committee) In April 1993 to suggest reforms in the insurance sector. The Committee
recommended Throwing open the sector to private players to usher in competition and
bring more Choice to the consumer. The objective was to improve the penetration of
insurance as a Percentage of GDP, which remains low in India even compared to
some developing Countries in Asia.
Reforms were initiated with the passage of Insurance Regulatory and Development
Authority (IRDA) Bill in 1999. IRDA was set up as an independent regulatory
authority, which has put in place regulations in line with global norms. So far in the
private sector.

POTENTIAL OF INSURANCE MARKET IN INDIA
By any yardstick, India, with about 200 million middle class households, presents a
huge untapped potential for players in the insurance industry. Saturation of markets in
many developed economies has made the Indian market even more attractive for
global insurance majors.
With the per capita income in India expected to grow at over 6% for the next 10 years
and with improvement in awareness levels, the demand for insurance is expected to
grow at an attractive rate in India. An independent consulting company, The Monitor
Group has estimated that the life insurance market will grow from Rs.218 billion in
1998 to Rs.1003 billion by 2008 (a compounded annual growth of 16.5%).
WINDS OF CHANGE
Reforms have marked the entry of many of the global insurance majors into the Indian
Market in the form of joint ventures with Indian companies. Some of the key names
are AIG, New York Life, Allianz, Prudential, Standard Life, Sun Life Canada and Old
Mutual. The entry of new players has rejuvenated the erstwhile monopoly player LIC,
which has responded to the competition in an admirable fashion by launching new
products and Improving service standards.
The following are the key winds of change brought about by privatization.
Market Expansion:
There has been an overall expansion in the market. This has been Possible due to
improved awareness levels thanks to the large number of advertising campaigns
launched by all the players. The scope for expansion is still unlimited as virtually all
the players are concentrating on large cities and towns - except by LIC to an extent
there was no significant attempt to tap the rural markets.

New Product Offerings:
There has been a plethora of new and innovative products offered by the new players,
mainly from the stable of their international partners. Customers have tremendous
choice from a large variety of products from pure term (risk) insurance to unit-linked
investment products. Customers are offered unbundled products with a variety of
benefits as riders from which they can choose. More customers are buying products
and services based on their true needs and not just traditional money-back policies,
which is not considered very appropriate for long-term protection and savings.
However, there are still some key new products yet to be introduced - e.g. healthproducts.
Customer Service:
Not unexpectedly, this was one area that witnessed the most significant change with
the entry of new players. There is an attempt to bring in international best practices in
service and operational efficiency through use of latest technologies. Advice and need
based selling is emerging through much better trained sales force and advisors. Thereis improvement in response and turnaround times in specific areas such as delivery of
first policy receipt, policy document, premium notice, final maturity payment,
settlement of claims etc. However, there is a long way to go and various customer
surveys indicate that the standards are still below customer expectation levels.
Channels of Distribution:
Till two years back, the only mode of distribution of life insurance products wasthrough Agents. While agents continue to be the predominant distribution channel,
today a number of innovative alternative channels are being offered to consumers.
Some of them are banc assurance, brokers, the Internet and direct marketing. Though
it is too early to predict, the wide spread of bank branch network in India could lead to
banc assurance emerging as a significant distribution mechanism.

About the insurance industry, the following documents may be helpful: Malhotra
Committee Report (The Report of the Committee on Reforms in the Insurance
Sector); IRDA's First Annual Report 2001
ENTRY OF FOREIGN PLAYERSAs a few of these players are also in different areas of financial services, the revenue
figures do not relate only to insurance related income. However, most of the global
insurance majors wish to participate in the opening up of the industry in India. Players
like ING Group, Prudential of the U.K., Standard Life, Sun Life of Canada and Zurich
Financial Services have already made an entry into the asset management business in
India. Further, a few such as AIG, Allianz and Zurich Financial Services have started
offering risk management services to Indian corporates. The entrants into the
insurance business in India can be divided into the following categories:
(i) Major international insurance groups, (ii) large private groups such as the Tatas,
Birlas and Reliance, who can enter the insurance industry on their own strength in
terms of funds, but who require technical/ managerial support from foreign
participants; the number of Indian groups belonging to this category is limited as
insurance demands substantial investment in ventures with long gestation periods.
Such groups may involve foreign insurance companies as they feel that this would be
the best way to proceed, (iii) Indian groups/companies which are not financially very
strong but would still like to enter this new field opening up. They can, however, enter
the business only in joint ventures with foreign insurance majors. The foreign majors
would provide technical, managerial and equity support. However, the amount of
equity that would be required over the years is substantial and given the fact that
insurance projects have long gestation, such groups may have difficulty in meeting
fund requirements on their own at a later date; (IV) banks and financial institutions
such as State Bank of India and ICICI.
GUIDELINES FOR ENTRY OF INSURANCE
Commercial banks in India have a huge distribution network that cannot be matched
by other financial service organizations. Hence commercial banks have been eyeing
banc assurance as a logical diversification. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has
7/29/2019 Compt Ankit Comprehensive Study on Consumer Perception in Hdfc Slic and Indian Life Insurance Sector
21/84
73
come out with detailed guidelines on the entry norms of commercial banks into
insurance.
Basically for banks wanting to enter the insurance field, there are three options.
Strong banks, subject to eligibility norms, will be permitted to set up joint ventures for
undertaking insurance business with risk participation. The maximum equity
contribution such a bank would hold in the joint venture would normally be 50 per
cent of the paid-up capital of the insurance company. However, a higher level of
equity contribution may be permitted, subject to divestment of equity within the
prescribed period.
Banks which are not eligible as joint venture participants can make investments up to
ten per cent of the net worth of the bank or Rs. 50 crores, whichever is lower, in theinsurance company for providing infrastructure and services support. Such
participation shall be treated as an investment and should be without any contingent
liability for the bank.
Finally, any scheduled commercial bank would be permitted to undertake insurance
business as agent of insurance companies on fee basis, without any risk participation.
Subsidiaries of banks will also be allowed to undertake distribution of insurance
products on agency basis. However, it may be added here that marketing/ selling of
insurance products is different from banking products, hence the selling techniques
will be different.
Norms for NBFCs
In the case of non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) also, the RBI has come out
with detailed guidelines for diversification into the insurance area. All NBFCs
registered with the RBI and satisfy the eligibility criteria will be permitted to set up a
joint venture company for undertaking insurance business with risk participation. In
fact there are very few NBFCs which meet the stringent norms laid down by the RBI.
However, any NBFC registered with the RBI having net owned fund of Rs. 2 crores
would be permitted to undertake insurance business as agent of insurance companies
on fee basis, without any risk participation.

The General Insurance Company
The business of general insurance is the monopoly of General Insurance Corporation
of India (GIC), owned by the Government of India. This entity is a single organization
with four subsidiaries. GIC was incorporated as a holding company in 1992 under the
General Insurance Act, 1972. The insurance business is subject to regulations under
the Insurance Act. 1938, and General Insurance Act, 1972. Being a fully owned
subsidiary of GOI, the paid-up capital of the GIC is fully subscribed by the govt. and
GIC, in turn owns fully, the paid-up capital of its four subsidiaries.
Before nationalization in November, 1972, a number of Indian and many foreign
companies did general insurance business in India and this business was linked with
their branches abroad. In addition, this product was also offered by LIC, some mutual
companies and cooperative societies In fact, on the eve of nationalisation, 68 Indian
(including LIC)and 45 non-Indian entities carried out insurance business in India.

As of now, fire insurance contributes the largest share in the business, although its
share has been going down. Miscellaneous business has been the growth area with
health insurance assuming increasing importance in terms of potential. Marine
insurance is relatively less important in India.

Insurance Products
Today there are many insurance products available in the market. Each
company has its set of products that it offers to the customers. This makes it difficult
to keep track of all the products all the time. A better way to understand them is by
way of classification. All insurance products can be classified in 4 basic categories.
Protection Investment
Pension Savin s
7/29/2019 Compt Ankit Comprehensive Study on Consumer Perception in Hdfc Slic and Indian Life Insurance Sector
37/84
73
This classification is based on the needs of the customers. Accordingly each of these
categories has an end need to be satisfied and all the products coming under that
category aim to fulfill that need e.g. Products coming under Investment category aim
to provide long term real growth over the period. Thus understanding these categories
will not only help us to understand various products but also help us to position our
products strongly in a competitive market. Let us take a look at the distinctive features
of each category.
Protection type of products: A typical protection type of product aims at
protecting income-earning capacity of the customers on happening of
uncertain events mentioned above during the term of product. These are the
pure risk products having no savings element. Naturally, these products dont
have any maturity benefits. High-risk cover at low costs is the unique feature
of this type that makes this category most attractive for the prospects who
want high insurance cover without spending much for it. Usually offered for a
definite term, mainly the Term Assurances come under this type. Various
riders offered by different companies also a part of protection category. The
claim is paid only if the stipulated event happens otherwise there are no
maturity values at the end of the term. Youll also find variations when some
companies offer to refund all the premiums paid but these products still come
under this category.
Investment type of products: In investment type of products, thefocus is on
maximizing returns for the customer over a period time. In a way, it is
opposite to Protection type where the focus is maximizing the risk cover. Here
the risk cover is very low. The objective is to put maximum in investments.
The underlying principle is to commit money for a certain period of time and
get the benefits of real long-term growth. The products are usually single
premium policies where the entire premium is collected in advance.
Surrenders are discouraged and there is a commitment for certain minimum no
of years. In death during the term, value of the investments is returned.

38/84
73
Pension products: This is another very popular type of product.Along with
the risk of an untimely death or disability, we also have a risk of living too
long outliving our source of income. In other words, one needs to ensure that
he gets a decent income even after his retirement and continues to get it as
long as he lives! This is where we have pension products addressing the need
for a comfortable retirement. One can opt for an immediate pension or for
pension at a future date (also called as deferred pension). There is a range of
options that one can have when selecting a pension plan. There is a great
amount of flexibility when it comes to selecting a pension product. The
important point to be noted is that Pensions is a part of ones present income
that he reserves for future consumption. Every year that income is
accumulated and invested. The lump sum accumulation then is used forpurchasing pension on the vesting date.
Savings type products: People like to save. Our saving rate hasbeen well
above 20% of our GDP for last few years. They save for events like childrens
marriage, education etc. Savings types of products aim to strike a good
balance between risk cover as well as returns. It acts as a protection on
savings. Sum assured is usually the targeted savings that one looks for. Hegets that amount at the end of the term along with bonuses if it is a
participating policy. On the protection side if any unfortunate event happens
during the term, the sum assured (in other words the targeted savings) is still
paid. So it encourages a person to save for an event at the same time ensures
that his savings are protected. This is the unique advantage of savings through
life insurance that no other financial product offers. We find very popular
products like Endowment Assurances; Money Back plans in this category.
As stated earlier all the products come under these 4 broad categories. To understand
a product, it is essential to find out the category of that product based on its features.
Needless to say that it will not be possible to compare one category product to
another. Each category is unique and caters to particular needs of the customer. The
best approach is to find out what customer needs and then suggest a solution
accordingly. Our products are discussed in the following pages within the broad
framework of PIPS categories.
