something is called perception’.
Here, the peoples are interesting to see, hear, or become awareof something through the senses.

It means these insurance sectors will give security to their customer’s
life. Because future is uncertain. These insurance sectors are having these following plans.
They are
1. pension plans
2. children plans
3. health plans
From that’s why peoples will be interesting to join in insurance
sectors.
The main aim of these plans is to give the security to their customers
in future. If the peoples are hiding their money in these sectors, they are thinking to face their
future problems without facing any type of risks. Unfortunately some insurance companies are
deceiving to their customers.
Like pearls.

8/8/2019 Vel Tech Project
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vel-tech-project 21/70
1.1.4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Marketing Research
The American Marketing Association defines Marketing Research as “The systematic
gathering, recording, and analyzing of data about problem related to the marketing of goods
and services”.
Marketing Research Design
Marketing research design is the specification of procedures for collecting and
analyzing the data necessary to help identify or reach to a problem of opportunity, such that
the difference between the cost of obtaining various levels of accuracy and the expected
value of the information associated with each level of accuracy is maximized.
1. Descriptive Research Design:
Descriptive research includes surveys and fact finding enquiries of different kinds. The
major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs as it exists at
present. In social science and business research we acquire often use the term “Ex postfacto” research for descriptive research studies. The main characteristics of this method is
that the researcher has no control over the variables; he can only report what has happened
or what is happening.

2. The study is based on primary data and secondary data:
Primary Data
That information which are followed in fresh for first time and thus
happen to be original in character, primary data is collected through survey and the method
used for
• Questionnaires
Secondary Data
Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else. But in
my survey there is no such type of data which is already collected. So the data is collected
from feed of customers and employees.
• Company internal records
• Web sites etc.
3. Research Instrument:
Questionnaire:
Questionnaire construction is a crucial part of the survey and once the questionnaire is
up to the mark, then that itself is an indication of the success of the project. A good
questionnaire will make the respondents feel easy and generate interest to fill up the
questionnaire which also minimizes rejection of questionnaire by the respondent to a greater
extent.

Tools Used
1. Percentage Analysis
Percentage Analysis can be calculated as follows:
First the frequency (i.e.) no. of responses is noted in the tabular column.
Then the percentage is calculated by dividing the frequency by total no. of respondents
multiplied by 100. Then the values are noted in the column as valid percent. From the
column as valid percentage cumulative percentage can be calculated by adding the each valid
percentage. Like this valid and percentage analysis can be calculated.
2. Chi-Square Test
The objective of chi-square test is to determine whether the real are significant
difference exists among the various groups. Chi-Square test involves comparison of expected
frequency (E) with the observed frequency (O) to determine whether the difference between
the two is greater than which might occur by change.
Conditions to use
• Two sets of data i.e., observed and expected.
• Data based on same sample.
• Each observed and expected count of five or larger.
• The difference between rows and columns must represent categorical variable.
8/8/2019 Vel Tech Project
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vel-tech-project 25/70
8
Steps
• The difference between each observed frequency and expected frequency is
computed.
• The difference observed and squared.
• Each observed difference is divided by its respective expected.
• The quotient is added together to obtain the computed chi-square.
• The computed value is compared to tabulated chi-square.
If the computed value is greater than the tabulated value at a pre determined level of
significance and degree of freedom the hypothesis is rejected.
On the other hand if calculated chi-square value is less than the table value the
hypothesis is accepted.
χ 2 = Σ (Oi – Ei) 2/Ei
Where χ2 = Chi-square
Oi = Observed Frequency
Ei = Expected Frequency

LITERATUR
8/8/2019 Vel Tech Project
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vel-tech-project 29/70

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Insurance is concerned with protection of economic value of assets. Every asset has a
value and it is created at considerable cost. They have a lifetime during which time they are
expected to perform. But they can be destroyed or made nonfunctional through Accidental
occurrences. Such terrible occurrences are called perils.
The damage the perils may cause to the asset is the Risk. Risk only means that there
is possibility of loss or damage. There has to be uncertainty about Risk. Insurance is relevant
only when there is uncertainty. The occurrences have to be random, accidental and not
deliberately created.
HOW IT WORKS
People facing common risks come together and make a small contribution. The
contribution is made on the assumption that all of them are exposed to the risk, but who will
become the victim is not known. By studying events for a long time it is possible to forecast
happening of the future.
Thus insurance business is all about sharing. A risk which cannot be borne by one
8/8/2019 Vel Tech Project
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vel-tech-project 30/70
person is spread over the entire community, so the Risk becomes bearable.
11
UTILITY1. Insurance acts as a social security tool: Even though the Government is
expected to look after the social security of people, it is often not possible.
Insurance companies supplement the efforts of the Government in this regard.
2. Role in the economic development: Insurance Companies collect huge amounts
by way of Premiums. These funds are available for a long time. Insurance
Companies can invest in projects with long gestation period. They help in
development of infrastructure like roads, bridges, irrigation projects, power plants
etc.
KEY POINTS:
1 Insurance protects economic values of assets.
2 Perils means events which are beyond the control of human.
3 Insurance is possible only when there is uncertainty.
4 A thing certain to happen cannot be insured.
5 Events should occur at random.

1.2.1 ORGANIZATION PROFILE
HDFC and Standard Life first came together for a possible joint venture, to enter the
Life Insurance market, in January 1995. It was clear from the outset that both companies
shared similar values and beliefs and a strong relationship quickly formed. In October 1995
the companies signed a 3 year joint venture agreement.
Around this time Standard Life purchase a 5% stake in HDFC, further strengthening the
relationship.
The next three years were filled with uncertainty, due to changes in government and
ongoing delays in getting the IRDA (Insurance Regulatory And Development Authority) Act
passed in parliament. Despite this both companies remained firmly committed to the venture.
In October 1998, the joint venture agreement was renewed and additional resource
made available. Around this time Standard Life purchased 2% of Infrastructure
Developmental Finance Company Ltd. (IDFC). Standard Life also started to use the services
of the HDFC Treasury department to advise them upon their investments in India.
Towards the end of 1999, the opening of the market looked every promising and both
companies agreed the time was right to move the operation to be next level.
8/8/2019 Vel Tech Project
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vel-tech-project 34/70

Therefore, in January 2000 an expert team from the UK joined a hand picked team from
HDFC to form the core project team, based in Mumbai.
Around this time Standard Life purchased a further 5% stake in HDFC and a 5% stake
in HDFC Bank.
In a further development Standard Life agreed to participate in the Asset Management
Company promoted by HDFC to enter the mutual fund market. The Mutual Fund was
launched on 20th July 2000.
Incorporation of HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited:
The Company has incorporated on 14th August 2000 under the name of HDFC
Standard Life Insurance Company Limited.
Our ambition from as far back as October 1995 was to be the first private company to
re-enter the life insurance market in India. ON the 23rd of October 2000, this ambition was
realized when HDFC Standard Life was the only life company to be granted a certificate of
registration.
HDFC are the main shareholders in HDFC Standard Life, with 81.4%, while Standard
Life owns 18.6%. Given Standard Life’s existing investment in the HDFC Group, this is the
maximum investment allowed under current regulations.
