History of insurance in india with
special referenece to LIC
Insurance in its current form has its history dating back until
1818, when Oriental Life Insurance Company was started
by Anita Bhavsar in Kolkata to cater to the needs of
European community. The pre-independence era in India
saw discrimination between the lives of foreigners (English)
and Indians with higher premiums being charged for the
latter. In 1870, Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society
became the first Indian insurer.
In the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act and the
Provident Fund Act were passed to regulate the insurance
business. 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.
However, the disparity still existed as discrimination
between Indian and foreign companies. The oldest existing
insurance company in India is the National Insurance
Company Ltd., which was founded in 1906. It is in business.
The Government of India issued an Ordinance on19th
January, 1956 nationalising the Life Insurance sector and
Life Insurance Corporation came into existence in the same
year(1-9-56). The Life Insurance Corporation (LIC)
absorbed 154 Indian, 16 non-Indian insurers as also 75
provident societies²245 Indian and foreign insurers in all.
It was in December 7, 1999 parliament passed the
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) Act which paved the way for granting licences to private
sector insurance companies. After privatisation of
the insurance sector more than twentylife
insurance companies have entered the business. Therefore, monopoly of LIC of India has come to an
end and the Corporation has to perform in a competitive environment.

CONCEPTS OF LIFE INSURANCE, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO LIC
What Is Life Insurance?
Life insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured (or his
nominee) on the happening of the event insured against.
The contract is valid for payment of the insured amount during:
y The date of maturity, or
y Specified dates at periodic intervals, or
y Unfortunate death, if it occurs earlier.
Life insurance, in short, is concerned with two hazards that stand across the life-
path of every person:
1. That of dying prematurely leaving a dependent family to fend for itself.
2. That of living till old age without visible means of support.
Life Insurance Vs. Other Savings
Contract Of Insurance:
A contract of insurance is a contract of utmost good faith technically known as uberrima fides.
The doctrine of disclosing all material facts is embodied in this important principle, which
applies to all forms of insurance.
At the time of taking a policy, policyholder should ensure that all questions in the proposal form
are correctly answered. Any misrepresentation, non-disclosure or fraud in any document leading
to the acceptance of the risk would render the insurance contract null and void.

Protection:
Savings through life insurance guarantee full protection against risk of death of the saver. Also,
in case of demise, life insurance assures payment of the entire amount assured (with bonuses
wherever applicable) whereas in other savings schemes, only the amount saved (with interest) is
payable.
Aid To Thrif t:
Life insurance encourages 'thrift'. It allows long-term savings since payments can be made
effortlessly because of the 'easy instalment' facility built into the scheme. (Premium payment for
insurance is either monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly).
For example: The Salary Saving Scheme popularly known as SSS, provides a convenient method
of paying premium each month by deduction from one's salary.
In this case the employer directly pays the deducted premium to LIC. The Salary Saving Scheme
is ideal for any institution or establishment subject to specified terms and conditions.
Liquidity:
In case of insurance, it is easy to acquire loans on the sole security of any policy that has
acquired loan value. Besides, a life insurance policy is also generally accepted as security, even
for a commercial loan.
Tax R elief:
Life Insurance is the best way to enjoy tax deductions on income tax and wealth tax. This is
available for amounts paid by way of premium for life insurance subject to income tax rates in
force.
Assessees can also avail of provisions in the law for tax relief. In such cases the assured in effect
pays a lower premium for insurance than otherwise.
Money When You Need It:
A policy that has a suitable insurance plan or a combination of different plans can be effectively
used to meet certain monetary needs that may arise from time-to-time.
Children's education, start-in-life or marriage provision or even periodical needs for cash over a
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/licfinal1 5/51
5
stretch of time can be less stressful with the help of these policies.
Alternatively, policy money can be made available at the time of one's retirement from service
and used for any specific purpose, such as, purchase of a house or for other investments. Also,
loans are granted to policyholders for house building or for purchase of flats (subject to certain
conditions).
Who Can Buy A Policy?
Any person who has attained majority and is eligible to enter into a valid contract can insure
himself/herself and those in whom he/she has insurable interest.
Policies can also be taken, subject to certain conditions, on the life of one's spouse or children.
While underwriting proposals, certain factors such as the policyholder¶s state of health, the
proponent's income and other relevant factors are considered by the Corporation.
Insurance For Women
Prior to nationalisation (1956), many private insurance companies would offer insurance to
female lives with some extra premium or on restrictive conditions. However, after nationalisation
of life insurance, the terms under which life insurance is granted to female lives have been
reviewed from time-to-time.
At present, women who work and earn an income are treated at par with men. In other cases, a
restrictive clause is imposed, only if the age of the female is up to 30 years and if she does not
have an income attracting Income Tax.
Medical And Non-Medical Schemes
Life insurance is normally offered after a medical examination of the life to be assured.
However, to facilitate greater spread of insurance and also to avoid inconvenience, LIC has been
extending insurance cover without any medical examination, subject to certain conditions.
With Profit And Without Profit Plans
An insurance policy can be 'with' or 'without' profit. In the former, bonuses disclosed, if any,
after periodical valuations are allotted to the policy and are payable along with the contracted
amount.
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1

In 'without' profit plan the contracted amount is paid without any addition. The premium rate
charged for a 'with' profit policy is therefore higher than for a 'without' profit policy.
K eyman Insurance
Keyman insurance is taken by a business firm on the life of key employee(s) to protect the firm
against financial losses, which may occur due to the premature demise of the Keyman.

GUIDELINES FOR ONE AND ALL BY LIC
The Policy Bond And Its Safety
The policy bond is the document that is given to one after they accept the proposal for
insurance.
The risk coverage commences after acceptance of the proposal and the conditions and
privileges of policy are mentioned in the policy bond.
This is an important document which would be referred to for various servicing interactions ±
Keep the policy bond safe. It will be required at the time of settlement of claims on the policy.
You will also require it if you are availing a loan or want to assign the policy.
Inform your spouse/Parents/Children as to where the policy is kept.
In case one is handing over the policy bond to any person or office, please take a written
acknowledgement. Keep a Photostat copy of the policy for reference.
Policy Number
The policy number is consisting of nine digits and can be found at the top left hand corner of
the schedule of your policy bond.
This is a unique identification number that distinguishes your policies from other policies and
will remain unchanged throughout the lifetime of the policy.
Remember to quote the policy number every time in the correspondence, as it helps to locate
the records for reference.
Policy Conditions
Every policy is taken for different types of needs; therefore the conditions for the policy will
vary according to the Plan and Term of the policy.
The policy schedule contains on the first page of the policy, like the ones mentioned above as
well as other information like nominee, address etc. It also shows the date of commencement of
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/licfinal1 8/51

policy, date of birth, date of maturity, due dates and months in which the renewal premiums are
to be paid etc.
The second page onwards carries the various policy conditions like risk coverage, additional
risks coverage if opted for, standard benefits that are available for all policies, accident benefit
if opted for, exclusion of risks if any and other conditions that govern the contract of
insurance.
Alterations In Policy
There may be instances when one would like to make alterations in their policy like change of
premium payment mode, reduction in premium paying term etc.
The applications may be given in writing to the branch that services ones policy for our further
action.
After the policy is issued, the policyholder in a number of cases finds the terms not suitable to
him and desires to change them. LIC allows certain types of alterations during the lifetime of
the policy. However, no alteration is permitted within one year of the commencement of the
policy with some exceptions. The following alterations are allowed.
y Alteration in class or term.
y Reduction in the Sum Assured
y Alteration in the mode of payment of premiums
y Removal of an extra premium
y Alteration from without profit plan to with profit plan
y Alternation in name
y Correction in policies
y Settlement option of payment of sum assured by installments
y Grant of accident benefit
y Grant of premium waiver benefit under CDA policies
y Alteration in currency and place of payment of policy monies

A fee for the change or alteration in the policy is charged by the Corporation called quotation
fee and no additional fee is charged for giving effect to the alteration.
If the Policy Is Lost
Kindly make a thorough search before concluding that one has lost the policy bond. Look for
the same within the residence, among your investment papers, at your office and even with
your agent to whom one might have entrusted the document for some reason.
It could have been even pledged with LIC/any other financial institution for availing a loan by
you. LIC retains the policy bond when one go in for a loan against the policy. Make sure that
the document one is searching is not one that has already been assigned to LIC, or to another
financial institution.
If the policy bond is partially destroyed due to natural causes like, fire, flood, etc, the remaining
portion may be returned as evidence of loss of policy to LIC, while applying for a duplicate
policy.
In case one is sure that the policy bond is untraceable due to unknown causes, there is a simple
procedure to comply with while applying for the duplicate policy at the branch.
Duplicate Policy:
A duplicate policy confers on its owner the same rights and privileges as the original policy.
The following are the requirements for issuing a duplicate policy:
1. Insertion of an advertisement at the policyholder¶s cost in one English daily newspaper
having wide circulation in the State where the loss is reported to have occurred. A copy of the
Newspaper in which the advertisement appeared should be sent to the servicing office one
month after its appearance. If no objection has been lodged with LIC regarding the policy in
question, a duplicate policy will be issued after complying further requirements, i.e., Indemnity
Bond and payment of charges for preparing duplicate policy and stamp fee.
2. However, the requirement of advertisement and Indemnity Bond may be dispensed with or
modified in certain circumstances as given below :
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1

y loss of policy by theft
y destruction of policy by fire
y loss of policy while in custody of an office of government
y mutilated or damaged policy
y policy in torn and a part of it is missing
y policy partially destroyed by white ants
Contact Address
Ones address is very important for. Without ones latest address they would not be in a position
to contact for any service offering. They would not like to keep any benefit that is due pending
for want of this very important information. Whenever one shift residences, please inform the

LIC provides for change of addresses, inclusion of telephone numbers, mobile numbers and
email addresses in ones contact addresses information. Kindly inform servicing branch to
incorporate the same in ones policy records.
Admission Of Age
Check the policy bond and see if the date of birth is correctly given therein.
This is one of the factors on which the premiums one pay for their policy is arrived at.
This would also form the basis of all future policies one might avail.

Nomination
Ensure that the nominees name is correctly incorporated in the policy bond.
One may change the nomination in their policy any time during the lifetime of the policy
In case one have not included the name of the nominee till now, please do not delay; inform the
nomination immediately. Kindly note that the change of nomination has to be done in the
branch that services the policy.
The nominee is the person to whom the insurance claim amounts would be payable, in case
anything unfortunate within the purview of the policy conditions happens.
The policy is usually taken by you to benefit your family ± nominate the persons who¶ll have
the welfare of your family in your absence; the usual preferences being spouse and children.
One may nominate even minors like their children, in which case one have to name another
person who¶ll have the welfare of the minor children, as an appointee.
Nomination:
The nominee is statutorily recognized as a payee who can give a valid discharge to the
Corporation for the payment of policy monies.
Nomination will be incorporated in the text of the policy at the time of its issue. After the
policy is prepared and issued and if no Nomination has been incorporated the assured can
ordinarily affect the nomination only by an endorsement on the policy itself. A nomination
made in this manner is required to be notified to the Corporation and registered by it in its
records. A nomination is not required to be stamped.
Any change or cancellation of nomination should be given in writing only by the Life Assured.
Nomination under Joint Life Policy can only be a joint nomination. Nomination in favour of a
stranger cannot be made as there is no insurable interest and moral hazard may be involved.
Nomination in favour of wife and children as a class is not valid. Specific names of the existing
wife and children should be mentioned. Where nomination is made in favour of successive
nominees, i.e., nominee ³A´ failing him to nominee ³B´ failing whom nominee ³C´, the
nomination in favour of one individual in the order mentioned will be considered. Where the
nominee is a minor, an appointee has to be appointed to receive the monies in the event of the
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/licfinal1 13/51
13
assured¶s death during the minority of the nominee. No nomination can be made under a policy
financed from HUF funds.
In the case of first endorsement of nomination the date of registration of nomination will be the
date of receipt of the policy by the servicing office and in case of any other nomination or
cancellation or change thereof, the date of receipt of the policy and/or of notice whichever is
later, will be the date of registration
Assignment
In case one is raising a loan against their policy from LIC or any other financial institution, the
policy would have to be assigned to LIC or the financial institution.
When one assign the policy the title of the policy is shifted from his/her name to that of the
institution.
The policy would be reassigned to one on the repayment of the loan.
A fresh nomination should be done after reassignment of the policy.
Assignment of policies can be done even when a loan is not required or for some special purposes.
An assignment has an effect of directly transferring the rights of the transferor in respect of the
property transferred. Immediately on execution of an assignment of the Policy of life assurance
the assignor forgoes all his rights, title and interest in the Policy to the assignee. The
premium/loan interest notices etc. in such cases will be sent to the assignee. In case the
assignment is made in favor of public bodies, institutions, trust etc., premium notices/receipts
will be addressed to the official who has been designated by the institutions as a person to
receive such notice
An assignment of a life insurance policy once validly executed, cannot be cancelled or rendered
in effectual by the assignor. Scoring of such assignments or super scribing words like
'cancelled' on such assignment does not annul the assignment. And the only way to cancel such
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/licfinal1 14/51
14
assignment would be to get it re-assigned by the assignee in favor of the assignor.
There are two types of assignments:
1. Conditional Assignment whereby the assignor and the assignee may agree that on the
happening of a specified event which does not depend on the will of the assignor, the
assignment will be suspended or revoked wholly or in part.
2. Absolute Assignment whereby all the rights, title and interest which the assignor has in the
policy passes on to the assignee without reversion to the assignor or his estate in any event.
R e-assignment:
Status of ones policy indicates if his/her policy is in force or has lapsed due to non-payment of
premium. It also provides other important information with respect to your policy, for your
reference.
When To Pay The Premiums
Remember to pay premium in time, even if the notices do not reach. There may be a postal
delay.
LIC usually sends premium notices one month in advance to the due month of the premium.
The months in which premiums are due are given on the first page of the Policy bond.
Grace Period For Premium Payment
In case one have not paid the premium within the due date there is still time for one to make the
payments without payment of interest on the premium. This period is called the grace period.
(With the exception of some plans)
The grace period for policies where the premium payment mode is monthly is 15 days from the
due date.
The grace period for policies where the premium payment mode is quarterly, half-yearly or
yearly is one month but not less than30 days.

18
R evivals:
If the premium under a policy is not paid within the days of grace the policy lapses. Revival is
a fresh contract wherein the insurer can impose fresh terms and conditions. A policy can be
revived under the following types of revival:
1. Ordinary Revival

personal statement regarding health is required and the policy is revived on collection of
delayed premium plus interest. The rate of interest to be charged for such delayed premium will
depend on the date of commencement of the policy.
2. Revival on non-medical basis
For revival of the policy on non-medical basis the amount to be revived should not exceed the
prescribed limit for non-medical assurance taken by the life assured.
3. Revival on medical basis
If a policy cannot be revived under ordinary revival or revival on non-medical basis it can be
revived with medical requirements. The medical requirements will depend upon the amount to
be revived.
4. The other schemes for revival are

C. Loan- cum- revival
D. Survival Benefit- cum- revival

Availing Loans On Policies
Many of the plans are of endowment type and one would be allowed to raise a loan against
their policy should one require funds.
One repay the loan with interest or continue paying the interest and allow the loan to be
deducted at the time of the claim payments.
Further loans on policies are also allowed after deduction of earlier out standings .
Most financial institutions too allow loans against LIC policies based on the value LIC quotes
on request.
Policy Loans:
The Corporation can grant a loan to the policyholder against his policy as per the terms and
conditions applicable to the policy. The requirements for granting a loan are as under :
a) Application for loan with an endorsement of terms and conditions of the loan being placed
on the policy.
b) Policy to be assigned absolutely in favour of the Corporation
c) A receipt for the loan amount
The maximum loan amount available under the policy is 90% of the Surrender Value of the
policy (85% in case of paid up policies) including cash value of bonus.
The rate of interest charged on loans is at 9% to be paid half-yearly.
The minimum period for which a loan can be granted is six months from the date of its
payment. If repayment of loan is desired within this period the interest for the minimum period
of six months will have to be paid.
In case the policy becomes a claim either by maturity or death within six months from the date
of loan interest will be charged only upto the date of maturity/death
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/licfinal1 20/51
20
Surrender Value
This is the value which is the amount payable to one should one decide to discontinue the
policy and encash the same from LIC.
Surrender value is payable only after three full years premiums are paid to LIC. More over if it
is a participating policy the Bonus get attached to it as per prevalent rules.
Surrender of policy is not recommended since the surrender value would always be
proportionately low.
Should one decide to go in for another insurance at this stage further insurance would be
available to one at a much higher premium because ones age would have advanced since taking
out the earlier policy.
Therefore retention of earlier policies and continuation of all policies without allowing them to
lapse is the best strategy for continuing life insurance protection.
Maturity, Survival Benefits, Disability And Death Claims:
When ones Survival Benefits (For Money back policies) or maturity benefits are due, we send
intimations to one in advance. However, if the survival benefit amount is less than or equal to
Rs.60,000/- the same will be sent to one directly without policy or discharge forms with a few
exceptions.
If such intimations have not come to one before the due date kindly inform us so that we may
take necessary action.
Claims s
ettl
em
ent proc
edur
e:
The settlement of claims is a very important aspect of service to the policyholders. Hence, the
Corporation has laid great emphasis on expeditious settlement of Maturity as well as Death
Claims.
The procedure for settlement of maturity and death claims is detailed below :
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/licfinal1 21/51
21
Maturity Claims:
1) In case of Endowment type of Policies, amount is payable at the end of the policy period.
The Branch Office which services the policy sends out a letter informing the date on which the
policy monies are payable to the policyholder at least two months before the due date of
payment. The policyholder is requested to return the Discharge Form duly completed along
with the Policy Document. On receipt of these two documents post dated cheque is sent by post
so as to reach the policyholder before the due date.
2) Some Plans like Money Back Policies provide for periodical payments to the policyholders
provided premium due under the policies are paid up to the anniversary due for Survival
Benefit. In these cases where amount payable is less than up to Rs.60,000/-, cheques are
released without calling for the Discharge Receipt or Policy Document. However, in case of
higher amounts these two requirements are insisted upon.
Death Claims: The death claim amount is payable in case of policies where premiums are paid up-to-date or
where the death occurs within the days of grace. On receipt of intimation of death of the Life
Assured the Branch Office calls for the following requirements:
a) Claim form A ± Claimant¶s Statement giving details of the deceased and the claimant.
b) Certified extract from Death Register
c) Documentary proof of age, if age is not admitted
d) Evidence of title to the deceased¶s estate if the policy is not nominated, assigned or issued
under M.W.P. Act.

Policies Under Salary Savings Scheme
If one have taken the policy under salary Saving Scheme please read the following suggestions
:
1. For each Salary Savings Scheme Policy ones employer deducts the premium from
salary and sends a consolidated cheque for all the policies of the employees to a
designated Branch of LIC, where all the policy files are maintained.
2. One can find out which Branch of LIC ones policy file will be serviced either from the
Agent or from the pay roll department of the employer.
3. One will need to know which branch of LIC services ones policy because one will
require their help in getting the Maturity/Survival Benefits, for any alterations like
change of address and for availing loans etc.
4. In case one is in a transferable job please inform the designated Branch of LIC about
his/her new place of posting. After one join his/her new place of posting please ask the
employer the LIC Branch where the premiums are being remitted by his/her office there
and inform the LIC Branch which was servicing you earlier so that your policy files can
be transferred.
5. This way ones records will be at correct place and will receive the services from us like
maturity, in time.
In case one is leaving his/her employer for a new job or joining another firm, one have
the facility to either continue the policy under the Salary Savings Scheme of the new
firm or to convert the payment mode into quarterly, half yearly or yearly mode.
6. Always ensure the continuity of premium payments to avoid frequent revivals of policy.
This may become a cumbersome process for a person who is in a transferable job.
7. Please do not send any installments directly. The premium must come through their
employer only. They do not have systems to adjust single installments received from
8/4/2019 LIC_FINAL_1

24
our policy holders. Otherwise please convert the mode into quarterly, halfyearly, or
yearly and pay directly. This way one also get a discount on the premium payable.
8. Leave a permanent local address with us so that we can reach one wherever one is even
after many years.
