PREFACE


2/84

The student of Management only with theoretical Knowledge is just like a wandering ship

in the ocean without a compass the exposure to the real market scenario gives him the base

practical experience which serves him as a compass in the directionless ship this enables

the ship to reach its destination against all odds .Form all its rivals.,I got an opportunity to

do my summer training at Birla Sun life Insurance Limited an Aditya Birla Group Company

one of the largest private Business houses .The duration of my training was 6 weeks the

very first day when Joined Birla I was in a new world knowing nothing about it but the

passage of Time one could eventually know, what activities going round him and with what

Purpose I could adjust myself in that environment due to the Kind co-operation of People

working there during the first there weeks of my training I was in training Cell anddifferent department of the firm when we are made aware of Recruitment & Development

Process and last there weeks I was placed in the marketing department with a project title

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WITH BSLI

Initially I feel that all What is taught in the classroom no relevance in the industry today the

management gives us all the fundamental concepts which are applicable in industry but

leaves the individual to work outputs application it is just a matter of modifying the theoryyou know so as to apply it to a given practical situation and there is no best place to learn

this practical side of management other than the industry it self..I do sincerely hope that this

project work will help the BSLI Ltd. Gwalior in formulating its marketing plans I tried my

best to cover up the maximum in the minimum time available even is there is any lacunae, I

regret for that.

Life insurance

Life insurance (Life Assurance in British English) is a type ofinsurance. As inall insurance, the insured transfers a risk to the insurer. The insured pays a

premium and receives a policy in exchange. The risk assumed by the insurer is

the risk of death of the insured.

HO W LIFE INSURA NCE WOR KS

There are three parties in a life insurance transaction; the insurer, the insured,and the owner of the policy (policyholder), although the owner and the insured

are often the same person. For example, if John Smith buys a policy on his own

life, he is both the owner and the insured. But if Mary Smith, his wife, buys a

policy on John's life, she is the owner and he is the insured. The owner of the

policy is called the grantee (he or she will be the person who will pay for the

policy). Another important person involved is thebeneficiary. The beneficiaryis the person or persons who will receive the policy proceeds upon the death of

the insured. The beneficiary is not a party to the policy, but is designated by the

owner, who may change the beneficiary unless the policy has an irrevocable

beneficiary designation. With an irrevocable beneficiary, that beneficiary must

agree to changes in beneficiary, policy assignment, or borrowing of cash value.

The policy, like all insurance policies, is a legal contract specifying the terms

and conditions of the risk assumed. Special provisions apply, including a

suicide clause wherein the policy becomes null if the insured commits suicide

within a specified time for the policy date (usually two years). Any

misrepresentation by the owner or insured on the application is also grounds for

nullification. Most contracts have a contestability period, also usually a two-

year period; if the insured dies within this period, the insurer has a legal right to

contest the claim and request additional information before deciding to pay or

deny the claim.

The face amount of the policy is normally the amount paid when the policymatures, although policies can provide for greater or lesser amounts. The policy

matures when the insured dies or reaches a specified age. The most common

reason to buy a life insurance policy is to protect the financial interests of the

owner of the policy in the event of the insured's demise. The insurance

proceeds would pay for funeral and other death costs or be invested to provide

income replacing the deceased's wages. Other reasons include estate planningand retirement. The owner (if not the insured) must have an insurable interest

in the insured, i.e. a legitimate reason for insuring another persons life. The

insurer (the life insurance company) calculates the policy prices with intent to

recover claims to be paid and administrative costs, and to make a profit. The

cost of insurance is determined using mortality tables calculated by actuaries.

Actuaries are professionals who use actuarial science which is based in

mathematics (primarily probability and statistics). Mortality tables are

statistically based tables showing average life expectancies. The three main

variables in a mortality table are age, gender, and use of tobacco. The mortality

tables provide a baseline for the cost of insurance. In practice, these mortality

tables are used in conjunction with the health and family history of the

individual applying for a policy in order to determine premiums and

insurability. The current mortality table being used by life insurance companies

in the United States and their regulators was calculated during the 1980s. There

is currently a measure being pushed to update the mortality tables by 2010.

The current mortality table assumes that roughly 2 in 1,000 people aged 25 will

die during the term of coverage. This number rises roughly quadratic ally to

about 25 in 1,000 people for those aged 65. So in a group of one thousand 25

year old males with a $100,000 policy, a life insurance company would have

to, at the minimum, collect $200 a year from each of the thousand people to

cover the expected claims. The insurance company receives the premiums from

the policy owner and invests them to create a pool of money from which to pay

claims, and finance the insurance company's operations. Contrary to popular

belief, the majority of the money that insurance companies make comes

directly from premiums paid, as money gained through investment of

premiums will never, in even the most ideal market conditions, vest enough

money per year to pay out claims. Rates charged for life insurance increase

with the insured's age because, statistically, a people are more likely to die as

they get older.

Since adverse selection can have a negative impact on the financial results of

the insurer, the insurer investigates each proposed insured (unless the policy is

below a company-established minimum amount) beginning with the

application, which becomes part of the policy. Group Insurance policies are an

exception. This investigation and resulting evaluation of the risk is called

underwriting. Health and lifestyle questions are asked, and the answers are

dutifully recorded. Certain responses by the insured will be given further

investigation. Life insurance companies in the United States support The

Medical Information Bureau, which is a clearinghouse of medical information

on all persons who have ever applied for life insurance. As part of the

application, the insurer receives permission to obtain information from the

proposed insured's physicians. Life insurance companies are never required by

law to underwrite or to provide coverage on anyone. They alone determine

insurability, and some people, for their own health or lifestyle reasons, are

uninsurable. The policy can be declined (turned down) or rated. Rating means

increasing the premiums to provide for additional risks relative to that

particular insured.

Many companies use four general health categories for those evaluated for a

life insurance policy. These categories are Preferred Best, Preferred, Standard,

and Tobacco. Preferred Best means that the proposed insured has no adverse

medical history, is not under medication for any condition, and his family

(immediate and extended) have no history of early cancer, diabetes, or other

conditions. Preferred is like Preferred Best, but it allows that the proposed

insured is currently under medication for the condition and may have some

family history. Most people are in the Standard category. Profession, travel,

and lifestyle also factor into not only which category the proposed insured falls,

but also whether the proposed insured will be denied a policy. For example, a

person who would otherwise be in the Preferred Best category will be denied a

policy if he or she travels to a high risk country.

Upon the death of the insured, the insurer will require acceptable proof of death

before paying the claim. The normal minimum proof is a death certificate and

the insurer's claim form completed, signed, and often notarized. If the insured's

death was suspicious and the policy amount warrants it, the insurer may

investigate the circumstances surrounding the death, before deciding whether

there is a legal obligation to pay the claim. Proceeds from the policy may be

paid in a lump sum or as an annuity paid over time in regular recurring

payments for either for the life of a specified person or a specified time period.

IRDA(INDIAN REGULATORY DEVLOPMENT

AUTHORITY)

IRDA:

The insurance sector has been opened up in India, as there was an urgent

need. The international experience indicates those country with a liberalized

insurance sector have witnessed a rapid growth in premium volumes enhancingthe domestic saving rate. This happened in China, Malaysia and Singapore

where a competitive market has led to improvement in Services and quicker

settlement of claims. It is also important to note that competition will bring

about advancement in information, communication and technology. And

rightly therefore a decision was taken by the Government of India to open up

Insurance sector. The establishment ofIRDA in the month of April 2000 has


62/84

been important development in this direction, making the end of monopoly in

the insurance sector.

WHY INSURANCE IN INDIA:

Only 22% of the insurance population has been extended cover. Market

penetration is low and the potential to exploit is high.

Insurance premium per capita is very low.

Lack of comprehensive social system benefit and welfare means that

demand for pension products is high.

Huge middle class of approximately 300 Million.

Existing insurance company score low on customer service front.

The insurance market registered growth in the Asian region even though

Indias share in global insurance is less than 0.5% (1988) as compared to USA

(24.2%) and Japan (21%). Studies have reveled that in an emerging market, as

disposable income rises, Insurance premiums as a ratio of GDP shoots up. The

confederation of Indian Industry projected a growth of Life Insurance

premiums from Rs. 350 Billion at present to Rs.140 Billion. The growth of

non-life insurance premium is expected to increase from 75 billion to 375

billion. Out of which, only 10% is tapped by the existing insurer.

Insurance even more than banking is a volume game. A very exclusiveapproach in view is unlikely to provide meaningful numbers. Currently,

insurance is bought for the purpose of tax-benefits. A higher percentage of

business is in the rural market. The share of rural new business insurance total

new business is 55% in terms of policies and 47% in terms of sum assured.

However, this needs to be viewed in the light of some recent issues that have

been raised regarding as to what constitutes the rural market. Therefore, private


63/84

insurers will be best served by middle market approach, targeting the customer

segments that are presently unexploited.

How many Indians are aware that LIC has more than 60Products andGIC has more than 180Products? Not only there is a reduction in the premiums

of Life Insurance products have long overdue since Indian morality rate has

decreased three folds in the last 50years. There is also scope to increase the

yield on life insurance policies (presently 6%) with proper risk management in

place.

It is been debated that insurance business does not produce profit in the

first five years cross subsidization is a feature of Indian market. Even the first

portfolio vote that is considered profitable, cross subsidizes other departments.

Tariffs reduction is likely to reduce profits; further insurers have to institute

proper claims management progress in order to extract efficiencies. At present

life insurance business in the country is taxed at 12.5% of the profit in financial

year. The government is soon to present a new model of taxing life insurance

companies at international rates.

New entrants should be well advised to look ahead to the stage where

brand strength will be a competitive advantage and sketch their alliances

accordingly. In fact, we believe that alliance related to distribution rather than

to produce or technology will prove most valuable in the long run.

Banks and financial companies will emerge, as attractive distribution

channel for this insurance trend will be led by two factors, which already apply

in other world market. First Banking food insurance, fund management and

other financial services companies are being to increase their profitability and

provide maximum value to their customers. Therefore, they are themselves

looking for a range of products to distribute.


64/84

In other market notably Europe; this has resulted in bank assurance.

Bank entering into the insurance business in India to bank hope to maximize

expensive existing network by selling a range of products more of a loss

alliance between insurance and bank than a formal ownership. Some Indian

entrants like ICICI, HDFC and Reliance hope to ride their existing network and

customer bases.

1 Million Policies sold within 3 and half years.

Company has maximum number of MDRT as well as good

number ofHNI advisors.

Training process of the company is very strong.

Different plan for different peoples

According to the change in surrounding environment like

changes in customer requirement.

WEAKNESS:

COMPANY does not penetrate on the rural market at a time.

There is no plan for the low income group.


68/84

Fees for the advisor is high than the other company.

OPPORTUNITY:

INSURANCE MARKET IS VERY BIG, WHERE COMPANY CAN EXPAND

ITS HORIZON IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY.

Though good investment and insurance it is easy to top Indian

customers.

The huge insurance market (77%) is left so company has

opportunity to expand our products.

THREATS:

OLD HABITS DIE HARD: Its still difficult task to win the

confidence of public towards private company. The company is facing major threats from LIC -which is an

only government company.

69/84


70/84

While making a study we very often look for what type of research

methodology is to be used in this type of study. For implementation of a proper

research methodology we have to first understand the meaning of research.

Research is a process with the help of which new concepts arises. It is the

increase in the actual knowledge stock. It can be called as movement from

known to unknown and vice-versa. It is also a continuous process. It is a

scientific as well as systematic process, which includes defining and redefining

the problem to develop hypothesis, to collect and define the information/data,

to analysis the information and bring out the mother of Discovery. An

individual makes the effort in research and society or public takes its benefits

because the results are usually generalized.

Data collection

The word data means any raw information, which is either quantitative

or qualitative in nature, which is of practical or theoretical use. The task of data

collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research design

chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection, the researcher

should keep in mind that there are two types of data primary and secondary.

Primary data: -

This is those, which are collected afresh and for the first Time, and thus happen

to be original in character. There are many ways of data collection of primary

data like observation method, interview method, through schedules, pantry

Reports, distributors audit, consumer panel etc. The Team Managers andemployees of both the Department were consulted to get information about

procedure of both the online and off line share trading. But the method used by

us for the primary data collection was through questionnaires.

Questionnaire method

For the collection of primary data I used questionnaire method. A formal list of

questions, which are to be asked, is prepared in a questionnaire and questions


71/84

are asked on those bases. There are some merits and demerits of this method.

These as under: -

Merits: -

1. Low cost even when universe is large.

2. It is free from bias of interviewer.

3. Respondents have proper time to answer.

4. Respondents who are not easily approachable can also be reachable.

5. Large samples can be made.

2. Secondary data: -

These are those data, which are not collected afresh and are used earlier also

and thus they cannot be considered as original in character. There are many

ways of data collection of secondary data like publications of the state and

central govt., reports prepared by researchers, reports of various associations

connected with business, Industries, banks etc. And the method, which was

used by us, was with the help of reports of the company.

Sample Size

We have meet 100 peoples during requirement Advisor and policy selling after

that I have taken 48 Peoples they have fill up the questionnaire and given

response.

CONCLUSION

THE MARKET POTENTIAL FOR PRIVATE INSURANCE

COMPANIES IS FOUND TO BE GREATER IN THE LONG RUN

AS MOST OF THE INDIANS ARE OF THE OPINION THAT,

PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES WOULD BE ABLE TO

PERFORM WELL IN THE FUTURE. THE PRIVATE AND

FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE TO TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS IN APPOINTING MORE NUMBER OF

AGENTS AND/OR ADVISORS IN ADDITION TO THE

EMPLOYEES AS IT HAS BEEN FOUND OUT THAT AGENTS

ARE THE BEST CHANNEL TO REACH THE GENERAL PUBLIC

REGARDING SELLING OF INSURANCE PRODUCTS. THE

PRIVATE AND FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE TO

CONCENTRATE ON THE FACTORS LIKE 'PREVENTION OF

LOSS', 'ASSURED RETURNS' AND 'LONG TERM

INVESTMENT'. THEY CAN ALSO FOCUS ON AN INSURANCE

AMOUNT OF RS. 1 2 LAKHS WITH 'MONEY BACK

POLICIES'. HENCE, THE MARKET HAS POTENTIAL. THE

PRIVATE AND FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT ARE

TAKING IMMEDIATE STEPS CAN TAP IT EASILY & RAPIDLY.
