ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The concepts learnt in academics are of no importance until they are practically applied. In today's world it is imperative for the students of any Post- Graduate course to keep pace with the changing technology innovations taking place across the world. In alignment with this, I prepared a Summer Report after my 1st year of PGDM.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. KAMLESH YADAV (assistant branch manager) for giving me the opportunity to work with his esteemed organization. I would like to thanks MR. MANOJ PAL (Sales Manager) for giving me product knowledge and their valuable support throughout the project. It was very enriching and enlightening experience to work under their valuable guidance. Without their support this project would not have been possible

I would also like to thank my parents and friends those who have given their support & contribution, whenever required.

Finally and most important I would like to thank to faculty of IILM (Especially to MS shilpi Gupta) to provide me with such an opportunity that has enhanced my learning horizon. Last but not least, I thank the almighty, and may she stand with all of us.

Executive Summary
The service industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in India today. The upcoming sectors which are really showing the graph towards upwards are - Telecom, Banking, and Insurance. These sectors really have a lot of responsibility towards the economy. Amongst the above-mentioned areas insurance is one sector, which took a lot of time in positioning itself. The insurance business of non-life companies was not much in problems but the major problem was with life insurance. Life Insurance Corporation of India had monopoly for more than 45 years, but the picture then was completely different. Previously people felt that “Insurance is only for classes not for masses” but now the picture is vice-versa. The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same instinct that prompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of insurance is largely a development of the recent past, particularly after the industrial era – past few centuries – yet its beginnings date back almost 6000 years. Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs of European community and these companies were not insuring Indian natives. However, later with the efforts of eminent people like Babu Muttylal Seal, the foreign life insurance companies started insuring Indian lives. But Indian lives were being treated as sub-standard lives and heavy extra premiums were being charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates. Starting as Indian enterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance companies came into existence to carry the message of insurance and social security through insurance to various sectors of society. Bharat Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by nationalism. The Life Insurance Companies Act 1912 made it necessary that the premium rate tables and periodical valuations of companies should be certified by an actuary. But the Act discriminated between foreign and Indian companies on many accounts, putting the Indian companies at a disadvantage. The formation of IRDA, entrance of private life insurance companies into India with one foreign partner, compulsory training of Insurance agents etc. developments started to take place. And this was the time when these companies started searching for proper channel partners who can help the organization in expanding its network and business in India. Channel partners are those who are going to be into direct selling of company‟s products

4

the insurance policies. They are the link between the customers and the management or company. These channel partners are people with different profiles. They are selected on some grounds like their network of people, their problem handling ability, convincing power and lot many things. The main idea behind company‟s Questionnaire Survey is to find out and analyze the proper profile that can be recruited by company as a channel partner. Company has been Chartered Accountants, Tax Consultants, Postal agents, Bank‟s Daily Collection Agents etc. the main idea behind targeting the above profile is strong client network which is really very important for an insurance company. This report includes the key private players in the insurance market such as ICICI Prudential, Kotak Life Insurance Bajaj Allianz, Birla Sun life, and TATA AIG. It also includes the leading competitors in the life insurance and general insurance segments along with their market shares.

The group has a net worth of Rs 10,060 cr. and has a distribution network through branches and franchisees across the country and offices in New York, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Mauritius and Singapore, servicing close to 8 million customer accounts. BUSINESS OF THE KOTAK MAHINDRA Monopoly of LIC has been broken to make Indian Insurance to change its face and pace to tap the market and to make the new challenges in it. Insurance in India is not about India only; it is an open sector for the private players. The name which you would see in Indian insurance market is something like: - BAJAJ (Indian company) + Allianz (foreign player), TATA (Indian company) + Aig (foreign player) Kotak Mahindra and so many like them. Companies now are tapping a lot of ways to capture the market and hence adopting different ways to hold the large portion of the market. About Insurance:Insurance may be defines as social device to protect the economic value of the Life and other assets. Under the plan of Insurance a group of people are brought together and their share of money is pooled to manage the loss suffered by any of them.

Insurance is a contract whereby in return of the payment of the premium by the insured the insurers pay the financial loss suffered by the insured as a result of the loss by the unforeseen events. The term “risk” is used to define the probability of loss.

Brief History of the Insurance Sector in India
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. The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same instinct that prompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of insurance is largely a development of the recent past, particularly after the industrial era – past few centuries – yet its beginnings date back almost 6000 years. Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs of European community and these companies were not insuring Indian natives. However, later with the efforts of eminent people like Babu Muttylal Seal, the foreign life insurance companies started insuring Indian lives. But Indian lives were being treated as sub-standard lives and heavy extra premiums were being charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates. Starting as Indian enterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance companies came into existence to carry the message of insurance and social security through insurance to various sectors of society. Bharat Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by nationalism. The Swadeshi movement of 1905-1907 gave rise to more insurance companies. The United India in Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and the Co-operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906. In 1907, Hindustan Cooperative Insurance Company took its birth in one of the rooms of the Jorasanko, house of the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, in Calcutta. The Indian Mercantile, General Assurance and Swadeshi Life (later Bombay Life) were some of the companies established during the same period. Prior to 1912 India had no legislation to regulate insurance business.

8

In the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act, and the Provident Fund Act were passed. The Life Insurance Companies Act 1912 made it necessary that the premium rate tables and periodical valuations of companies should be certified by an actuary. But the Act discriminated between foreign and Indian companies on many accounts, putting the Indian companies at a disadvantage. The first two decades of the twentieth century saw lot of growth in insurance business. From 44 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.22.44 crore, it rose to 176 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.298 crore in 1938. During the mushrooming of insurance companies many financially unsound concerns were also floated which failed miserably. The Insurance Act 1938 was the first legislation governing not only life insurance but also non-life insurance to provide strict state control over insurance business. The demand for nationalization of life insurance industry was made repeatedly in the past but it gathered momentum in 1944 when a bill to amend the Life Insurance Act 1938 was introduced in the Legislative Assembly. However, it was much later on the 19th of January 1956 that life insurance in India was nationalized. About 154 Indian insurance companies, 16 non-Indian companies and 75 provident were operating in India at the time of nationalization. Nationalization was accomplished in two stages; initially the management of the companies was taken over by means of an Ordinance, and later, the ownership too by means of a comprehensive bill. The Parliament of India passed the Life Insurance Corporation Act on the 19th of June 1956, and the Life Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st September, 1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance much more widely and in particular to the rural areas with a view to reach all insurable persons in the country, providing them adequate financial cover at a reasonable cost. LIC had 5 zonal offices, 33 divisional offices and 212 branch offices, apart from its corporate office in the year 1956. Since life insurance contracts are long-term contracts and during the currency of the policy it requires a variety of services need was felt in the later years to expand the operations and place a branch office at each district headquarter. Re-organization of LIC took place and large numbers of new branch offices were opened. As a result of re-organization servicing functions were transferred to the branches, and branches were made accounting units. It worked wonders with the performance of the corporation. It may be seen that from about 200.00 Crores of New Business in 1957 the corporation crossed 1000.00 Crores only in the year 1969-70, and it took another 10 years for LIC to cross 2000.00 crore mark of new business. But with re-organization happening in the early eighties, by 1985-86 LIC had already crossed 7000.00 crore Sum Assured on new policies. Today LIC functions with 2048 fully computerized branch offices, 100 divisional offices, 7 zonal offices and the corporate office. LIC‟s Wide Area Network covers 100 divisional offices and connects all the branches through a Metro Area Network. LIC has tied up with some Banks and Service providers to offer on-line premium collection facility in selected cities. LIC‟s ECS and ATM premium payment facility is an addition to customer convenience. Apart from on-line Kiosks and IVRS, Info Centers have been commissioned at Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, Pune and

9

many other cities. With a vision of providing easy access to its policyholders, LIC has launched its SATELLITE SAMPARK offices. The satellite offices are smaller, leaner and closer to the customer. The digitalized records of the satellite offices will facilitate anywhere servicing and many other conveniences in the future. From then to now, LIC has crossed many milestones and has set unprecedented performance records in various aspects of life insurance business. The same motives which inspired our forefathers to bring insurance into existence in this country inspire us at LIC to take this message of protection to light the lamps of security in as many homes as possible and to help the people in providing security to their families.

Some of the important milestones in the life Insurance businesses in India are:
1850 Non life insurance debuts with triton insurance company. 1870 Bombay mutual life assurance society is the first Indian owned life insurer 1912 The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life insurance business. In 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 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.

necessity. Imagine what would happen if you were to lose your life suddenly or become disabled and cannot earn. Being insured in a situation like this is a necessity.

Research always starts with a question or a problem. Its purpose is to question through the application of the scientific method. It is a systematic and intensive study directed towards a more complete knowledge of the subject studied.

 The objective behind the project is as follows:  To find the right candidate
.  To about their family background, occupation, social relation, Qualification, Age.

Limitation:
Some of the difficulties and limitations faced by me during my training are as follows:  Lack of awareness among the people – This is the biggest limitation found in this sector. Most of the people are not aware about the importance and the necessity of the insurance in their life. They are not aware how useful life insurance can be for their family members if something happens to them.  Perception of the people towards Insurance sector – People still consider insurance just as a Tax saving device. So today also there is always a rush to buy an Insurance Policy only at the end of the financial year like January, February and March making the other 9 months dry for this business.  Insurance does not give good returns – Still today people think that Insurance does not give good returns. They are not aware of the modern Unit Linked Insurance Plans which are offered by most of the Private sector players. They are still under the perception that if they take Insurance they will get only 5-6% returns which is not true nowadays. Nowadays most of the modern Unit Linked Insurance Plans gives returns which are many times more than that of bank Fixed deposits, National saving certificate, Post office deposits and Public provident fund.  Increased competition – Today the competition in the Insurance sector has became very stiff. Currently there are 14 Life Insurance companies working in India including the LIC (life insurance Corporation of India). Today each and every company is trying to increase their Insurance Advisors so that they can increase their reach in the market. This situation has created a scenario in which to recruit Life insurance Advisors and to sell life Insurance Policy has became very very d.

Conclusion
 All the insurance company must advertise more in the market because not all people know more about life Insurance policy.  Most number of people wants Guaranteed Returns so company must focus on this for the customer investment.  Make insurance policy which can buy any one so we can insured them through this type of life insurance policy.
