Introduction:

Now day‟s today world is growing with new Technique and innovations to develop their strength

in all activities like manufacturing of new cars, electronic gadgets, ammunitions and many more.

But no one is serious about their future liabilities or upcoming unsound risks which affect direct

on assets.

The business of insurance is related to the protection of the economic values of assets. Every

assets has a value, the assets would have been created through the efforts of the owner. The asset

is valuable to the owner, because he expects to get some benefit from it. The benefit may be in

income or in some other form.

In short the word insurance means “some to be paid out of compensation for theft or

damage”.

8

History:

Insurance has been known to exist in some form since 3000 BC. The Oriental Insurance

Company Ltd was incorporated at Bombay on 12th September 1947. The Company was a

wholly owned subsidiary of the Oriental Government Security Life Assurance Company Ltd and

was formed to carry out General Insurance business. The Company was a subsidiary of Life

Insurance Corporation of India from 1956 to 1973 till the General Insurance Business was

nationalized in the country. In 2003 all shares of our company held by the General Insurance

Corporation of India has been transferred to Central Government.

The Company is a pioneer in laying down systems for smooth and orderly conduct of the

business. The strength of the company lies in its highly trained and motivated work force that

covers various disciplines and has vast expertise. Oriental specializes in devising special covers

for large projects like power plants, petrochemical, steel and chemical plants. The company has

developed various types of insurance covers to cater to the needs of both the urban and rural

population of India. The Company has a highly technically qualified and competent team of

professionals to render the best customer service.

Oriental Insurance made a modest beginning with a first year premium of Rs.99, 946 in 1950.

The goal of the Company was “Service to clients” and achievement thereof was helped by the

strong traditions built up overtime.

Oriental with its head Office at New Delhi has 30 Regional Offices and nearly 900+ operating

Offices in various cities of the country.

9

The Company has overseas operations in Nepal, Kuwait and Dubai. The Company has a total

strength of around 15,000+ employees. From less than a lakh at inception, the Gross Premium

went up to Rs.58 cores in 1973 and during 2010-11 the figure stood at a mammoth Rs. 5569.88

cores.

The entire general insurance business in India was nationalized by the Government of India

(GOI) through the General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act (GIBNA) of 1972.

55 Indian insurance companies and 52 other general insurance operations of other companies

were nationalized through the act. The General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) was formed

in pursuance of Section 9(1) of GIBNA. It was incorporated on 22 November 1972 under the

Companies Act, 1956 as a private company limited by shares. GIC was formed to control and

operate the business of general insurance in India.

The GOI transferred all the assets and operations of the nationalized general insurance

companies to GIC and other public-sector insurance companies. After a process of mergers and

consolidation, GIC was re-organized with four fully owned subsidiary companies named:

National Insurance Company Limited,

New India Assurance Company Limited,

Oriental Insurance Company Limited

United India Insurance Company Limited.

10

GIC and its subsidiaries had a monopoly on the general insurance business in India until the

landmark Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act (IRDA Act) of 1999 came into

effect on 19 April 2000. This act also amended the GIBNA Act and Insurance Act of 1938. The

act along with the amendments ended the monopoly of GIC and its subsidiaries and liberalized

the insurance business in India. In November 2000, GIC was renotified as India's Reinsurer, but

its supervisory role over its subsidiaries was ended. This was followed by the General Insurance

Business (Nationalisation) Amendment Act of 2002. Coming into effect from 21 March 2003,

this amendment ended GIC's role as a holding company of its subsidiaries.

The ownership of the subsidiaries was transferred to the Government of India, which in turn

divested its stake in the companies through listings on Indian stock exchanges. As a result of

these reforms, GIC became the sole Re-Insurer in India, and is now called GIC Re. Indian

insurance companies are required by law to cede 10% of every policy value to GIC Re, subject to

some limitations and exceptions. GIC Re has diversified its operations and is now emerging as

an important Re-Insurer in SAARC countries, Southeast Asia, Middle East and Africa. GIC Re

has also expanded its international operations through branches in London and Moscow.

Objectives of the study:

When I started to do this project work there is my some objectives which are as follows:

To know the meaning of insurance.

To know the types of insurance.

To know the types of risk.

To know Accounts for insurance and no of schedules.

12

Rational behind the study:

To know the meaning of insurance :

A promise of compensation for specific potential future losses in exchange for

a periodic payment. Insurance is designed to protect the financial well-being of an

individual, company or other entity in the case of unexpected loss. Some forms of insurance are

required by law, while others are optional. Agreeing to the terms of an insurance policy creates

a contract between the insured and the insurer. In exchange for payments from the insured

(called premiums), the insurer agrees to pay the policy holder a sum of money upon the

occurrence of a specific event. In most cases, the policy holder pays part of the loss (called

the deductible), and the insurer pays the rest. Examples include car insurance, health

insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, and business insurance.

A) Insurer: In above statement “Insurer” means who is ready to pay the loss or ready to

compensate the loss of insured. In other words an insurance company which agrees to

pay someone who pays them for insurance for losses suffered pursuant to the terms of an

insurance policy. For this benefit the customer pays the company a fee, called a premium.

B) Insured: In the above statement “insured” means who is ready to pay premium for

covering his risk and losses in other words a person whose interests are protected by an

insurance policy a person who contracts for an insurance policy that indemnifies him

against loss of property loss of property or life.

13

To know the types of insurance:

We know only word insurance but the insurance sector is very browed sector. There are various

types of insurance Policies as below.

1. Vehicle insurance :

Auto insurance protects the policyholder against financial loss in the event of an

incident involving a vehicle they own, such as in a traffic collision. Coverage

typically includes:

a) Property coverage, for damage to or theft of the car.

b) Liability coverage, for the legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property

damage;

Most countries, such as the United Kingdom, require drivers to buy some, but not all,

of these coverage‟s. When a car is used as collateral for a loan the lender usually

requires specific coverage.

2. Health insurance:

Health insurance policies cover the cost of medical treatments. Dental insurance, like

medical insurance protects policyholders for dental costs. In the US and Canada, dental

insurance is often part of an employer's benefits package, along with health

insurance.

14

3. Life Insurance :

The greatest factor in having life insurance is providing for those you leave behind. This

is extremely important if you have a family that is dependent on your salary to pay the

Bills. Industry experts suggest a life insurance policy should cover "ten times your yearly

income." This sum would provide enough money to cover existing expenses, funeral

expenses and give your family a financial cushion. That cushion will help them re-group

after your death. When estimating the amount of life insurance coverage you need,

remember to factor in not only funeral expenses, but also mortgage payments and

living expenses such as loans, credit cards and taxes, but also child care, and future

college costs.

4. Marine Insurance :

The marine insurance is the oldest form of insurance. Under Bottom bond, the system of

credit and the law of interest were well-developed and were based on a clear appreciation

of the hazard involved and the means of safeguarding against it. If the ship was

lost, the loan and interest were forfeited. The contract of insurance was made a part of

the contract of carriage, and Manu shows that Indians had even anticipated the

doctrine of average and contribution. Freight was fixed according to season and

was expected to be reasonable in the case of marine transport which was then very

much at the mercy of winds and elements. Travelers by sea and land were very

much exposed to the risk of losing their vessels and merchandise because the piracy

on the open seas and highway robbery of caravans were very common.

15

Besides there were several risks, Many times, it might have been captured by the king's

enemies or robbed by pirates or got sunk in the deep waters.

The risk to owners of such ships were enormous and, therefore, to safeguard them the

marine traders devised a method of spreading over them the financial loss which could

not be conveniently borne by the unfortunate individual victims.

The co-operative device was quite voluntary in the beginning, but now in modern it

has been converted into modified shape of premium.

The marine policies of the present forms were sold in the beginning of fourteenth century

by the Brogans. On the demand of the inhabitants of Burges, the Court of Flanders

permitted in the year 1310, the establishment in this Town of a charter of Assurance, by

means of which the merchants could insure their goods, exposed to the risks of the

sea.

The insurance development was not confined to the Lombard's and to the Hansa

merchants; it spread throughout Spain, Portugal, France, Holland and England. The

marine form land lending prominence of Lombard's merchants got a prominent section

of the London City.

They built homes there and took the name of Lombard Street. Later on, this street

became famous in insurance history. The Lloyd's coffee-house gave an impetus to

develop the marine insurance.

16

5. Fire Insurance :

After marine insurance, fire insurance developed in present form. It had been

observed in Anglo- Section Guild form for the first time where the victims of fire

hazards were given personal assistance by providing necessaries of life.

It had been originated in Germany in the beginning of sixteenth century. The fire

insurance got momentum in England after the great fire in 1666 when the fire losses

were tremendous.

About 85 per cent of the houses were burnt to ashes and property worth of sterling ten

cores were completely burnt off. Fire Insurance Office was established in 1681 in

England. With colonial development of England, the fire insurance spread all over the

world in present form 'Sun Fire Office was successful fire insurance institution.

In India, the general insurer started working since 1850 with the establishment of the

Triton Insurance, Calcutta. Again in 1861, the North British and Mercantile catered

the requirements of insurance business.

The general insurance in India could not progress much. The slow growth of joint-

stock enterprise and mechanized production was another reason for the low level of

general insurance business.

17

To know the type of risk:

Risks are classified in various ways. One classification is based on the extent of the

damage likely to be caused.

a) Critical or catastrophic risks:

This risk is those risk which leads to the bankruptcy of the owner. It would happen if the

loss is total, like in a tsunami, wiping out everything. It can also happen if the deceased

person was heavily in debt.

“Important risk may not spell doom, but may upset family or business finances badly

which requires lot of time to recover the adverse effect on an economic recession is one

such. Less damaging are unimportant risk, like temporary illness or accident”

b) Financial & Non-financial Risk:

This is a type of risk classified into financial & non-financial risks, referred to in an

earlier important note.

c) Dynamic Risk:

The dynamic risks are caused by perils, which have national consequences, like inflation,

calamities, technology, political upheavals, etc.

18

d) Static Risk:

This risk caused by perils which have no consequences on the national economy, like a

fire or theft or misappropriation.

“Dynamic risks are likely to occur than static risks but are also less predictable static

risks are more suited to management through insurance”

e) Fundamental Risk & Particular Risk:

Fundamental Risk is those that affect large populations while particular risk affect only

specific persons. A train crash is an fundamental risk while a theft is a particular risk.

Life insurance business deals with particular risks but in most of the cases it affected with

fundamental risk.

f) Pure Risk & Speculative Risk:

The latter between the nature of betting or gambling where the risk is, to some extent,

under the control of the person concerned, while a pure risk is not so.

It is more in the nature of an Act of God. Insurance deals with only pure risks and not

speculative risks.

19

To know what is claim and producers to compensate the claims:

A Claim is the demand that the insurer should redeem the promise made in the contract.

The insurer has then to perform his part of the contract i.e. settle the claim, after

satisfying himself that all the conditions and requirements for settlement of claim have

been complied with.

To know the Accounts and schedules of the insurance companies:

As per my studies I found there are all around 02 Accounts i.e. Revenue A/c &

Profit & Loss A/c. and Balance sheet.

In Revenue Accounts there are 4 Schedules. And in Balance sheet there are 11 Schedules..

Performa of Revenue A/c, Profit & Loss A/c, & B/s as follows.

Research problem:

When I began working on this project work I faced a lot of hurdles in my way however due to

the help and timely guidance of our teaching staff, friends and family members, I could collect

information and complete this project report successfully on time. I faced the problems which are

common ly faced by most of the students; however these problems could not discourage me and

stop me from completing this project

1) Electricity Problem (Power Cut)

2) Low speed of internet connection.

3) Had to check different sites for single information for better results.

26

Research Methodology:

Each and every person tries in his/her own way to gather information about the given topics for

project. The information collected might be same, however the methods differ.

Listed below are some of the methods, sites and places where I had to visit and many people

whom I had to consult in order to successfully complete my project work and to fulfill the

required information as per the benchmark.

Research and development is creative work undertaken systematically to increase the stock of

knowledge, including knowledge of humanity, culture and society. The research is done with the

data which is available; the research is undertaken with the help of secondary data Each and

every person tries in his/her own way to gather information about the given topics for project.

The information collected might be same, however the methods differ.

1) Historical research Method.

2) Secondary research Method.

1) Historical research Method:

This research method is help to understand the basic structure of the insurance

companies. In history we can see in insurance services in introduce in 3000 BC. This

insurance business introduce in Indian in 1972. It was incorporated on 22 November

1972 under the Companies Act, 1956 as a private company limited by shares.

27

GIC was formed to control and operate the business of general insurance in India. The

GOI transferred all the assets and operations of the nationalized general insurance

companies to GIC and other public-sector insurance companies. After a process of

mergers and consolidation, GIC was re-organized with four fully owned subsidiary

companies named:

National Insurance Company Limited,

New India Assurance Company Limited,

Oriental Insurance Company Limited

United India Insurance Company Limited.

2) Secondary research Method:

This method helps me to understand the various producers regarding settlement of

various claims, various product of insurance companies, various types of services

introduce by insurance companies, types of accounts which are helps to insurance

companies, how to calculated premium, Type of insurance like ceded & re-insurance Etc.

This data also help me to understand the important document or we can say document of

agreement i.e. policy. If we lost the policy we will loss all rights n insurance companies

will reject all claims & demands.

28

Chapter- II

2.1 Review of Literature:

Insurance companies introduce premium payment plans

Limited premium payment policies seem to be the rage currently. Many insurance companies

have already introduced limited premium payment products, while many more are on the anvil,

according to industry sources. Conventional life insurance policies require investors to pay their

premiums till the year of maturity, whereas in limited premium payment products, the premium

is paid for a far shorter period of time. Of course, the amount paid would be far higher in the

latter case than in the former.

Review:

Plan about payment of insurance is very nice plan taken by insurance company, which generates

saving habits in small income group also some insurance companies introduced premium plans

like monthly premium plan, quartile premium plan, half yearly premium plan as yearly premium

plan.

There is one good comment in this article is pay your premium regular which help to get far

returns.

29

Third-party motor insurance premiums to rise by up to 65 %

New Delhi: Owning a vehicle would now pinch your pockets even more, with third-party motor

insurance premiums set to rise by up to 65 per cent for two-wheelers, private cars and heavy load

carriers from April 25.

The premiums are being revised after a gap of four years, the sector watchdog Insurance

Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) said, adding, from now onwards the third-party

motor insurance premium rates would be revised annually. The IRDA has also fixed a formula

for revising the motor insurance premium rates, which would be done after taking into account

inflation and data on claim settlement.

Schedules for Third-Party Premium:

Cubic Capacity (CC) Amount of Premium For Privet Cars & Heavy Vehicles

1,000-cc 740.001,000 cc - 1,500 cc 880.00above 1,500 cc 2,750.00

For Two & three wheelers Up to350 cc 330.00Above 350 CC 680.00

"If the premium rates get revised annually on specified parameters it will save a lot of time

which gets wasted on account of negotiation with several associations," National Insurance

Company CMD N S R Chandra Prasad said.

30

The insurance companies had actually sought a 150 per cent hike in premium rates as these

companies are bleeding on account of high claim to premium cost. However, IRDA in its

exposure draft had suggested a 10 per cent increase in premium for private cars and two-

wheelers and up to 80 per cent for goods carriers.

Though regulation of the tariffs in the non-life sector was withdrawn in 2007, third-party motor

insurance continues to be regulated. It is mandatory to for a vehicle owner to obtain third-party

insurance to provide insurance cover to others in case of injury or loss of life.

Review:

As per above article companies decided to increases premium by 65% annually is a right

decision by them. But it is very expensive for the third party insurance holders. There are slabs

for premium which is introduced as per the CC of Vehicle.

There is one statement in above article i.e. when they inspect their companies‟ accounts.

Accounts shows high claim to premium cost

Today nearly about 100 Vehicles s caused in accident and they claim to repair their damage they

are paying insurance premium for Rs. 15, 000 or 20, 0000 and Appling for claim Rs. 30,000-

35,000 whatever. That‟s why companies have to increase their rates for third party insurance.
