Insurance is an integral part o! e=eryone@s li!e in present scenario. Insurance or assurance is a de=ice !or indemni!ying or guaranteeing an indi=idual against loss. Reim$ursement $s made from a fund to which many individuals exposed to the same risk have contributed certain specified amounts, called %#REMI,M*&. -ayments for an individual loss, divided among many, do not fall heavily upon the actual loser. The essence of the contract of insurance, called a %#./IC-& is mutuality. The entity that is transferring the risk, which may be an individual or association of any type, including a government or government agency., is called %IN*,RED&. The entity accepting the risk is called the %IN*,RER&. The agreement between the two by which the risk is transferred is called the % #./IC-&. This is a legal contract that sets out exactly the terms and conditions of the coverage. The fee paid by the insured to the insurer for assuming the risk is called %#REMI,M&. This is usually determined by the insurer to fund estimated future claims paid, administrative costs and profits. The major operations of an insurance company are underwriting, the determination of which risks the insurer can take on/ and rate making, the decisions regarding necessary prices for such risks. The underwriter is responsible for guarding against adverse selection, wherein there is excessive coverage of high risk candidates in
proportion to the coverage of low risk candidates. $n preventing adverse selection, the underwriter must consider physical, psychological, and moral ha'ards in relation to applicants. -hysical ha'ards include those dangers, which surround the individual or property, jeopardi'ing the well being of the insured. The amount of the premium is determined by the operation of the law of averages as calculated by the actuaries. By investing premium payments in a wide range of revenue.producing projects, insurance companies have become major suppliers of capital and they rank among the nation0s largest institutional investors.

Analysis of a research project is based on the primary data and secondary data which is being collected from various sources to take out some conclusions of the research study being taken. $n my project my purpose was to find the market credibility of BAJAJ Allian' among various other private life insurance companies. For this a population of ;5 people was being interviewed having different lifestyles, different incomes, different occupations yet the point which was kept in mind was that this interviewed population was insurable.
The !uestionnaire filled up by people revealed that nearly 79 people i.e. about C3: people have life insurance policies. This is due to the fact that people now have started reali'ing that life is very uncertain and it is advisable to have a life insurance policy. 8early, 3< : people had ($) policy and 35: people have BAJAJ Allian' as their life insurance policy. The reason that people have more ($) policy is that it is an old company for life insurance and secondly it is a government controlled organi'ation. "econdly, when en!uired about the perception of people about insurance policies, nearly 7? people i.e. about C@: people see it as a security option for their families financially so that if they are not alive some day, their family does not go in vain. =hile 22 people i.e. about 33: people see it an investment option to save taxes and get returns. Thirdly, when asked about their investments in various alternatives, 2@ people gave life
insurance policies their first preference for investment whereas 29 gave shares as their first preference followed by mutual funds *23+ and lastly government bonds. This clearly shows that people are risk averse to a large extent as largest numbers of people like to invest in life insurance policies to make sure that there is security. Fourthly, when they were asked about the criterion of choosing a life insurance company 2; people replied that they see the security point of view to buy a life insurance company. ; people chose time span as the criteria to choose a life insurance company. 3 people chose the market share of the company as the preferred criteria of choosing the life insurance company. @ people chose the returns of life insurance companies as the criteria for choosing a life insurance company. 8early, 35 people chose all the above mentioned reasons to choose a life insurance company. =hen the sample population was interviewed about their 2st preference among the pvt. -layers, nearly <9 : people chose BAJAJ Allian' as the 2st insurance company, 3< : people chose $)$)$ -rudential as the 2st preference, and 29 : chose ,6F) as the 2st insurance company and 2< : people chose Birla "un life as the 2st preferred company. =hen sample si'e was asked about safety ness of an insurance policy as compared to ($) policy nearly 93 : people replied that they do not find private life insurance companies as safe as ($), this is due to the fact that ($) had monopoly into life insurance till 3555. Gnly after 3555, private companies have come
in the field of (ife $nsurance )ompany. -roceeding further, when sample population was asked to recogni'e the punch line of BAJAJ Allian' nearly 95 : of the population was able to recogni'e the punch line of BAJAJ Allian' which clearly indicates that BAJAJ Allian' is a well known life insurance company among the people. Followed by it, when sample si'e was interviewed about the reasons of famousness of BAJAJ Allian' 29 : of people chose its policies as the reason for its famousness, 35: people chose its parent companies as the reason for its popularity, 3< : agreed for its marketing and advertising strategies to be the prime cause of its popularity among masses. =hereas <5 : population agreed to all of the above mentioned reasons to be causes of the popularity of BAJAJ Allian'. =hen asked about the satisfaction with the existing insurance policies nearly 9?: people said that they are satisfied with their policy whereas only 72: people were not satisfied with their policy. They wanted the additional features of transparency about the returns after when they have stopped paying the premiums. Also they wanted higher rate of returns at the end of payment of premiums.

"imultaneously, rediscover its strength by introducing new plans better it can provide investments but
suited to the people at large. $ndia is a very big market sustenance to all the companies in the field of insurance
to remain one of the leading companies, BAJAJ Allian' has to adopt new strategies earlier than others. This could include widening the distribution networks to all parts of the country by becoming more appealing catering to every income group. promotion campaigns Furthermore, it can improvise on its advertisements

BAJAJ Allian' is one of the companies in the private sector which are doing exceptionally good in this sector due to their policies to which people find very attracting according to their needs. =hen people were interviewed about the first preference among the private life insurance companies nearly <9: replied for BAJAJ Allian', this clearly indicates that BAJAJ Allian' is !uite a household name. The reasons for this are many like it is a company with very strong brand namesI BAJAJ Auto (imited which is the no. 2 Automotive 4anufacturer in $ndia also Allian' A1 is 7rd largest life insurance company in the world.

8on filling up of certain !uestions of the !uestionnaire which led to the cancellation of that particular !uestionnaire. 8on understanding of certain parameters in the !uestionnaire.

Again research study of 3 months is a time constraint and covering whole of 6elhi population by taking a sample si'e of ;5 is not feasible.

Insurance is an integral part o! e=eryone@s li!e in present scenario. Insurance or assurance is a de=ice !or indemni!ying or guaranteeing an indi=idual against loss. Reim$ursement $s made from a fund to which many individuals exposed to the same risk have contributed certain specified amounts, called %#REMI,M*&. -ayments for an individual loss, divided among many, do not fall heavily upon the actual loser. The essence of the contract of insurance, called a %#./IC-& is mutuality. The entity that is transferring the risk, which may be an individual or association of any type, including a government or government agency., is called %IN*,RED&. The entity accepting the risk is called the %IN*,RER&. The agreement between the two by which the risk is transferred is called the % #./IC-&. This is a legal contract that sets out exactly the terms and conditions of the coverage. The fee paid by the insured to the insurer for assuming the risk is called %#REMI,M&. This is usually determined by the insurer to fund estimated future claims paid, administrative costs and profits. The major operations of an insurance company are underwriting, the determination of which risks the insurer can take on/ and rate making, the decisions regarding necessary prices for such risks. The underwriter is responsible for guarding against adverse selection, wherein there is excessive coverage of high risk candidates in
proportion to the coverage of low risk candidates. $n preventing adverse selection, the underwriter must consider physical, psychological, and moral ha'ards in relation to applicants. -hysical ha'ards include those dangers, which surround the individual or property, jeopardi'ing the well being of the insured. The amount of the premium is determined by the operation of the law of averages as calculated by the actuaries. By investing premium payments in a wide range of revenue.producing projects, insurance companies have become major suppliers of capital and they rank among the nation0s largest institutional investors.

Analysis of a research project is based on the primary data and secondary data which is being collected from various sources to take out some conclusions of the research study being taken. $n my project my purpose was to find the market credibility of BAJAJ Allian' among various other private life insurance companies. For this a population of ;5 people was being interviewed having different lifestyles, different incomes, different occupations yet the point which was kept in mind was that this interviewed population was insurable.
The !uestionnaire filled up by people revealed that nearly 79 people i.e. about C3: people have life insurance policies. This is due to the fact that people now have started reali'ing that life is very uncertain and it is advisable to have a life insurance policy. 8early, 3< : people had ($) policy and 35: people have BAJAJ Allian' as their life insurance policy. The reason that people have more ($) policy is that it is an old company for life insurance and secondly it is a government controlled organi'ation. "econdly, when en!uired about the perception of people about insurance policies, nearly 7? people i.e. about C@: people see it as a security option for their families financially so that if they are not alive some day, their family does not go in vain. =hile 22 people i.e. about 33: people see it an investment option to save taxes and get returns. Thirdly, when asked about their investments in various alternatives, 2@ people gave life
insurance policies their first preference for investment whereas 29 gave shares as their first preference followed by mutual funds *23+ and lastly government bonds. This clearly shows that people are risk averse to a large extent as largest numbers of people like to invest in life insurance policies to make sure that there is security. Fourthly, when they were asked about the criterion of choosing a life insurance company 2; people replied that they see the security point of view to buy a life insurance company. ; people chose time span as the criteria to choose a life insurance company. 3 people chose the market share of the company as the preferred criteria of choosing the life insurance company. @ people chose the returns of life insurance companies as the criteria for choosing a life insurance company. 8early, 35 people chose all the above mentioned reasons to choose a life insurance company. =hen the sample population was interviewed about their 2st preference among the pvt. -layers, nearly <9 : people chose BAJAJ Allian' as the 2st insurance company, 3< : people chose $)$)$ -rudential as the 2st preference, and 29 : chose ,6F) as the 2st insurance company and 2< : people chose Birla "un life as the 2st preferred company. =hen sample si'e was asked about safety ness of an insurance policy as compared to ($) policy nearly 93 : people replied that they do not find private life insurance companies as safe as ($), this is due to the fact that ($) had monopoly into life insurance till 3555. Gnly after 3555, private companies have come
in the field of (ife $nsurance )ompany. -roceeding further, when sample population was asked to recogni'e the punch line of BAJAJ Allian' nearly 95 : of the population was able to recogni'e the punch line of BAJAJ Allian' which clearly indicates that BAJAJ Allian' is a well known life insurance company among the people. Followed by it, when sample si'e was interviewed about the reasons of famousness of BAJAJ Allian' 29 : of people chose its policies as the reason for its famousness, 35: people chose its parent companies as the reason for its popularity, 3< : agreed for its marketing and advertising strategies to be the prime cause of its popularity among masses. =hereas <5 : population agreed to all of the above mentioned reasons to be causes of the popularity of BAJAJ Allian'. =hen asked about the satisfaction with the existing insurance policies nearly 9?: people said that they are satisfied with their policy whereas only 72: people were not satisfied with their policy. They wanted the additional features of transparency about the returns after when they have stopped paying the premiums. Also they wanted higher rate of returns at the end of payment of premiums.

Following were the difficulties faced during the completion of projectI
8on filling up of certain !uestions of the !uestionnaire which led to the cancellation of that particular !uestionnaire. 8on understanding of certain parameters in the !uestionnaire. Taking a sample si'e of ;5 people does not reflect the mindset of all kinds of people from different backgrounds, different age groups and income groups.
Again research study of 3 months is a time constraint and covering whole of 6elhi population by taking a sample si'e of ;5 is not feasible.
