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 peoplelike 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 tomore 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

Co-operative 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. 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 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 i.e. 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 focusing on

some of the profile that can be very beneficial for the company.For example 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.

  The project title is “Potential of Life Insurance

Industry in Surat Market”. This shows the scope for private

insurance companies have great opportunities to cover the market

and can insure the customer. With the initiation of the deregulation

in the Indian insurance market, the monopoly of big public sector 

companies in life insurance market has been broken. New private players have entered 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 deregulation has

 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.

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.

5: 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 peoplethink 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%

Page 18: Kotak Life Insurance Project

18

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.

 Lack of awareness about the earning opportunity in the

Insurance sector – People still today are not aware about the

earning opportunity that the Insurance sector gives. After the

 privatization of the insurance sector many private giants have

entered the insurance sector. These private companies in order to

 beat the competition and to increase their Insurance Advisors to

increase their reach to the customers are giving very high

commission rates but people are not aware of that.

  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 difficult.

RESEARCH METODOLOGYResearch 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. Marketing research is the

function which links the consumer, customer and public to the

marketer through information- information used to identify and 

define marketing opportunities and problems generate, refine, and 

evaluate marketing actions, monitor marketing actions, monitor 

marketing performance and improve understanding of market as a

 process.

Marketing research specifies the information required to address

these issues, designs, and the method for collecting information,

manage and implemented the data collection process, analyses the

results and communicate the findings and their implication.

I have prepared our project as descriptive type, as the objective of 

the study demands the answers of the question related to find the

 potentiality of life insurance in Surat: How much potential is there

in Surat?

The Marketing Research Process

As marketing research is a systemic and formalized process, it

follows a certain sequence of research action. The marketing

 process has the following steps:

 Formulating the problems

 Developing objectives of the research

 Designing an effective research plan

 Data collection techniques

 Evaluating the data and preparing a research report

There are two types of data collection method use in my project

report.

 –   Primary data

 –   Secondary data.

For my project, I decided on primary data collection method for 

observing working of company and approaching customersdirectly in the field, tele-calling, cold calling, campaigning and 

through references to know their interest in business with company

in my project and also make questionnaire for creating database of

DATA COLLECTION

After the research methodology, research problem in

marketing has been identified and selected; the next step is

together the requisite data. There are two types of data collection

method – primary data and secondary data.

In our live project, we decided primary data collection

method because our study nature does not permit to apply

observational method. In survey approach we had selected a

questionnaire method for taking a customer view because it is

feasible from the point of view of our subject & survey purpose.

We conducted 200 sample of survey in our project.

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 InsuranceCompany (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by

more insurance companies. The United India in Madras, National

Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and the Co-operative

 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 twostages; 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

27

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 currencyof 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 earlyeighties, 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 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 inspireus 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 business in India are:

1850Non 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.

 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.

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,1972  nationalized the general insurance business in India with

effect from 1st January 1973. 107 insurers amalgamated and

In 1993, Malhotra Committee, headed by former Finance Secretary

and RBI Governor R. N. Malhotra, was formed to evaluate theIndian insurance industry and recommend its future direction.

The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of 

complementing the reforms initiated in the financial sector. The

reforms were aimed at “creating a more efficient and competitive

financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy

keeping in mind the structural changes currently underway and 

recognizing that insurance is an important part of the overall

financial system where it was necessary to address the need for 

similar reforms…” In 1994, the committee submitted the report

and some of the key recommendations included.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development

Authority (IRDA)

The Insurance Act, 1938 had provided for setting up of the

Controller of Insurance to act as a strong and powerful supervisory

and regulatory authority for insurance. Post nationalization, the

role of Controller of Insurance diminished considerably in

significance since the Government owned the insurance

companies.

 

But the scenario changed with the private and foreign companies

foraying in to the insurance sector. This necessitated the need for a

strong, independent and autonomous Insurance Regulatory

Authority was felt. As the enacting of legislation would have takentime, the then Government constituted through a Government

resolution an Interim Insurance Regulatory Authority pending the

enactment of a comprehensive legislation.

 

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 is

an act to provide for the establishment of an Authority to protect

the interests of holders of insurance policies, to regulate, promote

and ensure orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters

connected therewith or incidental thereto and further to amend the

Insurance Act, 1938, the Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956 and 

the General insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 to end 

the monopoly of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (for life

insurance business) and General Insurance Corporation and its

subsidiaries (for general insurance business).

 

The act extends to the whole of India and will come into force on

such date as the Central Government may, by notification in the

Official Gazette specify. Different dates may be appointed for different provisions of this Act.

 

The Act has defined certain terms; some of the most important

ones are as follows

 

appointed day means the date on which the Authority is established 

under the act. Authority means the established under this Act.

Interim Insurance Regulatory Authority means the Insurance

Regulatory Authority set up by the Central Government through

Resolution No. 17(2)/ 94-lns-V dated the 23rd January, 1996.

 Words and expressions used and not defined in this Act but

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
