PREFACE

There are number forces that make marketing an endlessly changing

activity. The constantly activity sociological, psychological and political

environment may represent the uncontrollable marketing factors. To

understanding these factors in better way marketing research is of most

importance.

This Project Report has been completed in Partial fulfillment of my

Management Program, Master of Business Administration (MBA) in

the company Tata-AIG Life Insurance. The objective of my project was

Comparative Study of ULIP Products of Tata-AIG Life Insuranceis the name which is working as one of the best private insurance

company in insurance sector. With such large population and the

untapped market of populations insurance happens to be very big

opportunity in India. Today it stands as a business growing at the rate of

15-20 percent annually. Together with banking services, It adds about 7

percent to the countrys GDP. In spite of all this growth the statistics of

the penetration of the insurance in the country is very poor. Nearly 70%

of Indian populations are without Life Insurance cover and the Health

Insurance. This is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance

sector is immense in India.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Overview

With largest number of life insurance policies in force in the world, Insurance

happens to be a mega opportunity in India. Its a business growing at the rate

of 15-20 per cent annually.

Together with banking services, it adds about 7 percent to the countrys

GDP .In spite of all this growth the statistics of the penetration of the

insurance in the country is very poor. Nearly 80 per cent of Indian population

is without life insurance cover while health insurance and non-life insurance

continues to be below international standards. And this part of the population

is also subject to weak social security and pension systems with hardly any

old age income security. This it-self is an indicator that growth potential for

the insurance sector is immense.

Historical Perspective

The insurance came to India from UK; with the establishment of the Oriental

Life insurance Corporation in 1818.The Indian life insurance company act

1912 was the first statutory body that started to regulate the life insurance

business in India. By 1956 about 154 Indian, 16 foreign and 75 provident

firms were been established in India. Then the central government took overthese companies and as a result the LIC was formed. Since then LIC has

worked towards spreading life insurance and building a wide network across

the length and the breath of the country.


11/107

Important milestones in the life insurance business in India:

1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute

to regulate the life insurance business.

1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies were taken

over by the central government and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of

Parliament- LIC Act 1956- with a capital contribution of Rs.5 cr. from the

Government of India.

Important milestones in the general insurance business in India

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.

1972: The general insurance business in India nationalized through The

General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 with effect from 1st

January 1973. 107 insurers amalgamated and grouped into four companies-

the National Insurance Company Limited, the New India Assurance Company

Limited, the Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. and the United India Insurance

Company Ltd. GIC incorporated as a company.


12/107

Insurance Sector Reforms

Prior to liberalization of Insurance industry, Life insurance was

monopoly of LIC.

In 1993, Malhotra Committee headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI

Governor R.N. Malhotra was formed to evaluate the Indian 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:

Structure

Government stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%.

Government should take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries so that

these subsidiaries can act as independent corporations.

Competition

Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital ofRs.1 billion should be

allowed to enter the sector. No Company should deal in both Life and General

Insurance through a single entity. Foreign companies may be allowed to enter

the industry in collaboration with the domestic companies.

Regulatory Body


13/107

The Insurance Act should be changed. An Insurance Regulatory body should

be set up. Controller of Insurance- a part of the Finance Ministry- should be

made independent

Investments

Mandatory Investments of LIC Life Fund in government securities to be

reduced from 75% to 50%. GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than

5% in any company (there current holdings to be brought down to this level

over a period of time)

Customer Service

LIC should pay interest on delays in payments beyond 30 days. Insurance

companies must be encouraged to set up unit linked pension plans.

Computerization of operations and updating of technology is to be carried out

in the insurance industry

NATURE OF INDUSTRY

The insurance industry provides protection against financial losses resulting

from a variety of perils. By purchasing insurance policies, individuals and

businesses can receive reimbursement for losses due to car accidents, theft of

property, and fire and storm damage; medical expenses; and loss of income

due to disability or death. The insurance industry consists mainly of

insurance carriers (or insurers) and insurance agencies and

brokerages. In general, insurance carriers are large companies that provideinsurance and assume the risks covered by the policy. Insurance agencies

and brokerages sell insurance policies for the carriers.

Insurance companies assume the risk associated with annuities and insurance

policies and assign premiums to be paid for the policies. In the policy, the


14/107

companies states the length and conditions of the agreement, exactly which

losses it will provide compensation for, and how much will be awarded.

The premium charged for the policy is based primarily on the amount to be

awarded in case of loss, as well as the likelihood that the insurance carrier

will actually have to pay. In order to be able to compensate policyholders for

their losses, insurance companies invest the money they receive in

premiums, building up a portfolio of financial assets and income-producing

real estate which can then be used to pay off any future claims that may be

brought.

There are two basic types of insurance carriers:Direct and Reinsurance.

Direct carriers are responsible for the initial underwriting of insurance

policies and annuities, while Reinsurance carriers assume all or part of the

risk associated with the existing insurance policies originally underwritten by

other insurance carriers.

Direct insurance carriers offer a variety of insurance policies.

Life insurance provides financial protection to beneficiariesusually spouses

and dependent childrenupon the death of the insured.

Disability insurance supplies a preset income to an insured person who is

unable to work due to injury or illness

Health insurance pays the expenses resulting from accidents and illness.

An Annuity (a contract or a group of contracts that furnishes a periodic

income at regular intervals for a specified period) provides a steady income

during retirement for the remainder of ones life.


15/107

Property-casualty insurance protects against loss or damage to property

resulting from hazards such as fire, theft, and natural disasters.

Liability insurance shields policyholders from financial responsibility for

injuries to others or for damage to other peoples property. Most policies,

such as automobile and homeowners insurance, combine both property-

casualty and liability coverage. Companies that underwrite this kind of

insurance are called property-casualty carriers.

What is Life Insurance?

Human life is subject to risks of death and disability due to natural and

accidental causes. When human life is lost or a person is disabled

permanently or temporarily, there is a loss of income to the household. The

family is put to hardship. Risks are unpredictable. Death/disability may occur

when one least expects it. There are a number of life insurance products

which offer protection and also coupled with savings.

A Term insurance product provides a fixed amount of money on death

during the period of contract.

A Whole Life insurance product provides a fixed amount of money on

death.

An Endowment Assurance product provided a fixed amount of money

either on death during the period of contract or at the expiry of contract if life

assured is alive.


16/107

A Money Back Assurance product provides not only fixed amounts which

are payable on specified dates during the period of contract, but also the full

amount of money assured on death during the period of contract.

An Annuity product provides a series of monthly payments on stipulated

dates provided that the life assured is alive on the stipulated dates.

A Linked product provides not only a fixed amount of money on death but

also sums of money which are linked with the underlying value of assets on

the desired dates.

There are a variety of life insurance products to suit to the needs of various

categories of peoplechildren, youth, women, middle-aged persons, old

people; and also rural people, film actors and unorganized laborers.

Life insurance products could be purchased from registered life insurers

notified by the IRDA. Insurers appoint insurance agents to sell their products.

As per regulations, insurers have to give the various features of the products

at the point of sale. The insured should also go through the various terms and

conditions of the products and understand what they have bought and met

their insurance needs. They ought to understand the claim procedures so that

they know what to do in the event of a loss.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT


17/107

When Should One Go For Insurance?

Your insurance need will change as your life does, from starting to work to

enjoying your golden years and all the stages in between. Each one of these

stages may pose a different insurance need/cover for you. In this section, we

have drawn up the basic life stages and help you analyze various insurance

needs accordingly.

Stage 1 : Young and Single


18/107

This is an important stage where one lays down the foundation of a successful

life ahead. Take advantage of the time and power of compounding to ensure

that you build up your dreams, so start saving early.

Your needs:

o Save for a home and wedding

o Tax Planning

Save for Golden years

Stage 2 - Just Married

Marriage brings about a significant change. New dreams and new

opportunities also bring in additional responsibilities. While both of you look

forward to a happy and secure life , it is equally important to ensure that

eventualities dont come in the way of shaping your dreams.

Your needs:

o Planning for home / securing your home loan

liability

o Save for vacation

o Save for your first child

Stage 3 - Proud Parents


19/107

Once you have children, your need for life insurance is even more. You need

to protect your family from an untoward incident. Ensure your protection

umbrella takes into account the future cost of securing your childs dream.

You will want life to go on for your loved ones, and having enough life

insurance is a way to help ensure that.

Your needs:

o Provide for childrens education

o Safeguarding family against loan liabilities

o Savings for post-retirement

Stage 4 - Planning for Retirement

While you are busy climbing the ladder of success today, it is important for

you to take time and plan for your life after retirement. Having an early start

for retirement planning can make a significant difference to your savings.

Think about your golden years even before you have reached them. The key

is to think ahead and plan well using your time and money.

Your needs:

o Provide for regular income post retirement

o Immediate Tax benefits

o Lead a secure, independent and comfortable

life style after retirement


20/107

Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs)

For the generation of insurance seekers who thrived on insurance policieswith assured returns issued by a single public sector enterprise, unit-linkedinsurance plans are a revelation.

The subsequent softening of interest rates introduced a degree a much-needed rationality to insurance products like endowment plans; attractivereturns at low risk became a thing of the past. The same period alsocoincided with an upturn in equity markets and the emergence of a newbreed of market-linked insurance products like ULIPs. While in conventionalinsurance products the insurance component takes precedence over thesavings component, the opposite holds true for ULIPs.

More importantly ULIPs (powered by the presence of a large number ofvariants) offer investors the opportunity to select a product which matchestheir risk profile; for example an individual with a high risk appetite can shuntraditional endowment plans (which invest about 85% of their funds in thedebt instruments) in favour of a ULIP which invests most of its corpus inequities.

In traditional insurance products, the sum assured is the corner stone; inULIPs premium payments is the key component. ULIPs are remarkably alike

to mutual funds in terms of their structure and functioning; premiumpayments made are converted into units and a net asset value (NAV) isdeclared for the same.

Investors have the choice of enhancing their insurance cover, modifyingpremium payments and even opting for a distinct asset allocation than theone they originally opted for. This calls for enhanced flexibility in ULIPs. Alsoif an unforeseen eventuality were to occur, in case of traditional products, thesum assured is paid along with accumulated bonuses; conversely in ULIPs,the insured is paid either the sum assured or corpus amount whichever ishigher.

Insurance seekers have never been exposed to this kind of flexibility intraditional insurance products and it would be fair to say that ULIPs representthe new face of insurance. While few would dispute the value-add that ULIPscan provide to one's insurance portfolio and financial planning; the same isnot without its flipside.

For the uninitiated, understanding the functioning of ULIPs can be quite ahandful! The presence of what seem to be relatively higher expenses, rigidly


21/107

defined insurance and investment components and the impact of markets onthe corpus clearly make ULIPs a complex proposition. Traditionally theinsurance seeker's role was a passive one restricted to making premiumpayments; ULIPs require greater participation from the insured.

Charges and Expenses

ULIPs work very similar to a mutual fund with an added benefit of life coverand tax deduction. They have a mandate to invest the premiums in varyingproportions in gsecs (government securities), bonds, the money markets (callmoney) and equities. The primary difference between conventional savings-based insurance plans like endowment and ULIPs is the investment mandate-while ULIPs can invest up to 100% of the premium in equities, the percentage

is much lower (usually not more than 15%) in case of conventional insuranceplans. ULIPs are also available in multiple options like aggressive ULIPs(which can invest upto 100% in equities), balanced ULIPs (which invest 40-60% in equities) and debt ULIPs (which invest only in debt and moneymarket instruments).

Broadly speaking, ULIP expenses are classified into three major categories:

1) Mortality charges

Mortality expenses are charged by life insurance companies for providing a

life cover to the individual. The expenses vary with the age, sum assured andsum-at-risk for the individual. There is a direct relation between the mortalityexpenses and the above mentioned factors. In a ULIP, the sum-at-risk is animportant reference point for the insurance company. The sum-at-risk is thedifference between the sum assured and the investment value the individualscorpus as on a specified date. Usually, the mortality charges are levied on theper thousand sum assured.

2) Sales and Fund Administration expenses

Insurance companies incur these expenses for operational purposes on aregular basis. The expenses are recovered from the premiums that individualspay towards their insurance policies. Agent commissions, sales and marketingexpenses and the overhead costs incurred to run the insurance business on aday-to-day basis are examples of such expenses.

3) Fund management charges (FMC)


22/107

These charges are levied by the insurance company to meet the expensesincurred on managing the ULIP investments. A portion of ULIP premiums areinvested in equities, bonds, g-secs and money market instruments. Managingthese investments incurs a fund management charge, similar to what mutualfunds incur on their investments. FMCs differ across investment options likeaggressive, balanced and debt ULIPs; usually a higher equity optiontranslates into higher FMC.

Apart from the three expense categories mentioned above, individuals mayalso have to incur certain expenses, which are primarily optional in nature-the expenses will be incurred if certain choices that are made available toindividuals are exercised.

a) Switching chargesIndividuals are allowed to switch their ULIP options. For example, anindividual can switch his fund money from 100% equities to a balancedportfolio, which has say, 60% equities and 40% debt. However, the companymay charge him a fee for switching. While most life insurance companiesallow a certain number of free switches annually, a switch made over andabove this number is charged.

b) Top-up charges

ULIPs allow individuals to invest a top-up amount. Top-up amount is paid inaddition to the premium amount for a particular year. Insurance companiesusually deduct a certain percentage from the top-up amount as charges.These charges are usually lower than the regular charges that are deductedfrom the annual premium.

c) Cancellation charges

Life insurance companies levy cancellation charges if individuals decide tosurrender their policies before the mandated lock-in period which is usually

three years. These charges are levied as a percentage of the fund value on aparticular date


23/107

REASON FOR POPULARITY OF ULIPs

ULIPs offer a twin benefit: ULIPs serve the purpose of providing lifeinsurance combined with savings at market-linked returns. This is morebeneficial to the investor as compared to his investment in a mutual fundwhich does not offer a life cover. Moreover, they offer transparent disclosure,monthly portfolios and daily NAVs (net asset values). ULIP became popularmostly on account of Sensex northward journey.

ULIPs have multiple investment options:

The individuals have an option of investing based on his market analysis andhis risk profile. Generally there are three categories of ULIPs.

Aggressive ULIPs (which can typically invest 80%-100% in equities, balancein debt)

Balanced ULIPs (can typically invest around 40%-60% in equities)

Conservative ULIPs (can typically invest upto 20% in equities)

ULIPS are Flexible:

The individuals are allowed to switch between the ULIP variants outlinedabove to capitalize on investment opportunities across the equity and debtmarkets. Free switches are an important feature that allows the informedindividual/investor to benefit from the vagaries of stock/debt markets. Forinstance, when stock markets were on the brink of 7,000 points (Sensex), theprudent investor would prefer to shift his assets from an Aggressive ULIP to alow-risk Conservative ULIP.

INDIAN INSURANCE SECTOR


24/107

REGULATORY BODY

Insurance is a federal subject in India. The primary legislation that deals with

insurance business in India is: Insurance Act, 1938, and Insurance Regulatory

& Development Authority Act, 1999.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development

Authority (IRDA)

Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA

Bill in Parliament in December 1999. The IRDA since its incorporation as astatutory body in April 2000 has fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing

regulations and registering the private sector insurance companies.

The other decision taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems to

the insurance sector and in particular the life insurance companies was the

launch of the IRDAs online service for issue and renewal of licenses to

agents. Since being set up as an independent statutory body the IRDA has

put in a framework of globally compatible regulations.

MISSION-IRDA


25/107

To protect the interests of the policyholders, to regulate, promote

and ensure orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters

connected therewith or incidental thereto.

CURRENT SCENARIO OF THE INDUSTRY

INSURANCE MARKET IN INDIA

India with about 200 million middle class household shows a huge untapped

potential for players in the insurance industry. Saturation of markets in many

developed economies has made the Indian market even more attractive for

global insurance majors. The insurance sector in India has come to a position

of very high potential and competitiveness in the market.

Innovative products and aggressive distribution have become the say of the

day. Indians, have always seen life insurance as a tax saving device, are now

suddenly turning to the private sector that are providing them new productsand variety for their choice. Life insurance industry is waiting for a big growth

as many Indian and foreign companies are waiting in the line for the green

signal to start their operations. The Indian consumer should be ready now

because the market is going to give them an array of products, different in

price, features and benefits. How the customer is going to make his choice

will determine the future of the industry.

CUSTOMER SERVICE


26/107

Consumers remain the most important centre of the insurance sector. After

the entry of the foreign players the industry is seeing a lot of competition and

thus improvement of the customer service in the industry. Computerization of

operations and updating of technology has become imperative in the current

scenario. Foreign players are bringing in international best practices in service

through use of latest technologies. The one time monopoly of the LIC and its

agents are now going through a through revision and training programs to

catch up with the other private players. Though lot is being done for the

increased customer service and adding technology to it but there is a long

way to go and various customer surveys indicate that the standards are still

below customer expectation levels.

DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS

Till date insurance agents still remain the main source through which

insurance products are sold. The concept is very well established in the

country like India but still the increasing use of other sources is imperative. It

therefore makes sense to look at well- balanced, alternative channels of

distribution.

LIC has already well established and have an extensive distribution channel

and presence. New players may find it expensive and time consuming to

bring up a distribution network to such standards. Therefore they are looking

to the diverse areas of distribution channel to have an advantage. At present

the distribution channels that are available in the market are:

Direct selling/Retail

Corporate agents


27/107

Group selling

Brokers and cooperative societies

Bancassurance

DIRECT SELLING/RETAIL

Direct selling or retail business is carried out by Agents of the company. This

is the main distribution channel due to the complexity of most

insurance products (Endowment, Whole of Life, Unit Linked). This tends to be

the focus of most companies due to its past success as well as its ability to

deliver the right advice. However, this channel can be expensive and it is a

time consuming sales process. An agent is the public face of an Insurance

company. Hence it is important that this face is always smiling and

presentable and the facts and figures at his/ her command are updated and

correct.

An agent should be a pleasing personality with complete knowledge about the

various plans and solutions which the company has to offer and must also

understand the customers psychology well to deal in an efficient manner.

BANCASSURANCE

Bancassurance is the distribution of insurance products through the bank's

distribution channel. It is a phenomenon wherein insurance products are

offered through the distribution channels of the banking services along with a

complete range of banking and investment products and services. To put it

simply, Bancassurance, tries to exploit synergies between both the insurance

companies and banks.

Advantages to banks

Productivity of the employees increases.


28/107

By providing customers with both the services under one roof, they can

improve overall customer satisfaction resulting in higher customer retention

levels.

Increase in return on assets by building fee income through the sale of

insurance products.

Can leverage on face-to-face contacts and awareness about the

financial

conditions of customers to sell insurance products.

Banks can cross sell insurance products e.g.: Term insurance products

with

loans.

Advantages to insurers

Insurers can exploit the banks' wide network of branches for

distribution of products. The penetration of banks' branches into the

rural areas can be utilized to sell products in those areas.

Customer database like customers' financial standing, spending habits,

investment and purchase capability can be used to customize products

and sell accordingly.

Since banks have already established relationship with customers,

conversion ratio of leads to sales is likely to be high. Further service

aspect can also be tackled easily.

Advantages to consumers

Comprehensive financial advisory services under one roof. i.e.,

insurance services along with other financial services such as banking,

mutual funds, personal loans etc.

Enhanced convenience on the part of the insured

Easy accesses for claims, as banks are a regular go.


29/107

SWOT ANALYSIS OF INSURANCE INDUSTRY

STRENGTH:

1.Best returns with the added advantage of 100% life insurance coverage.

2. Good option for new investors into the market as all the money is invested

by best fund managers so with less knowledge also they can earn good

returns.

3. Best commission charges paid to the agents which vary from 12% to 35%

which is much higher as compared to mutual funds i.e. , only 2-2.5%.


30/107

WEAKNESS

1. TALIC could not able to match LIC in remote areas services.

2. Misleading facts given by life advisors about the returns of ULIPs.

3. Hidden charges taken by the companies.

4. Less Promotional Campaigns.

OPPORTUNITY

1. 80 percent of Indian population is still under insured. So

there is a big opportunity for insurance companies.

2. As the stock market can be under the mark any time so it can bring

loss to the investors but as in ULIPs there is proper mixture of debt securities

and equity so the loss is incurred during dark trading days also.

3. Unit-linked products are exempted from tax and they provide life

insurance.

4. Increasing consumer awareness about Insurance and its use.

THREAT

1. Cannibalism within the industry by providing misleading figures to the

investors.

2. Govt.s instability has a long term repercussions affecting companys

policies and its growth
