Definition:
It is a social device for minimizing risks of uncertainty regarding loss by spreading the risk over a large enough number of similar exposures to predict the individual change of loss. It is a contract, guaranteeing compensation to the payer against loss. It is a payment which is proportionate to the loss.
The aim of all insurance is to compensate the owner against loss arising from a variety of risks, which he anticipates, to his life, property and business. Insurance is mainly of two types: Life Insurance and General Insurance.
Life Insurers undertake the Life Insurance business; general Insurance handle the Fire, Marine and Miscellaneous Insurance.
Insurance companies are important players in financial markets as they collect and invest large amount of premium in various investment instruments.

Safeguards one’s assets. Give protection to investors. It provides peace of mind-in case of financial loss. It encourage saving as it helps to accumulate
savings. One can Channel these savings into sectors
needing huge long-term investments. One get Tax rebate. It provides protection from the claim made by
creditors. It provides security against a personal loan,
housing loan or other type of loan.
Insurance sector Overview (India)
8
The insurance sector in India has experienced a 360-degree journey over a period of more than a hundred years. Its transition from an open competitive sector to nationalization and then back to a liberalized market characterizes this phenomenon.
The insurance sector was brought under the government wrap within ten years of independence. Since then, till the re-opening of the sector in the 1990’s, the state-owned companies functioned under the deluge of bureaucracy and inefficiency but still had millions of policyholders, as there were no alternatives. The argument behind opening up of the sector was consumer-centric, which claimed that opening up insurance would give better products and service to consumers, insurance sector was opened to competition again in 1999-2000 so that to gauge its true performance.
Life Insurance constitutes the major share of insurance business. India is world’s 19th biggest insurance market. Insurance is a Rs 400 billion business in India. It accounts for 3% of GDP. After IT, it is the most growing sector. Indian insurance market is growing at a rate of 20%. But still 300 million Indians are insured population.
If there is one industry in India today, which has brought about a mini-revolution in the country, it is the insurance industry. Millions of jobs have been generated because of it. Sunrise industry-opening up of jobs for a variety of entrepreneurs in various disciplines. Life insurance industry is booming and liberalization of the life insurance market has so far proved to be a great success. The entry of private players will mean better products and choice for the consumer. Improved insurance sector today promises several new job opportunities.
With a large population and untapped market, insurance happens to be a big opportunity in India. The insurance business (measured in the context of first year premium) grew at 47.93 percent achieved in 2004-2005. However, insurance penetration in the country continues to be low. Insurance penetration or premium boomed as a share of a country’s GDP, for the year 2005 stood at 2.53 percent for life insurance and 0.62 percent for non-life insurance.

Life Insurance in India
Life insurance or life assurance is a contract between the policy owner and the insurer, where the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the occurrence of the policy owner's death. In return, the policy owner (or policy payer) agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals.
Life insurance is providing payment of specified sum to a beneficiary on the policyholder’s death, or to the policyholder on reaching a certain age. Life Insurance depends upon the laws of mortality. Life has to end sooner or later and the claim in respect of life is certain. Hence, life insurance, besides providing a cover for life of individuals, also serves as a good source of savings for the beneficiaries. The life insurance Market in India presents several striking features, which appear, for the most part, to be necessary concomitants of the underdeveloped nature of the country’s economy.
Life based contracts tend to fall into two major categories:
Protection policies - designed to provide a benefit in the event of specified event, typically a lump sum payment.
Investment policies - where the main objective is to facilitate the growth of capital by regular or single premiums.
The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the year 1818 with the establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta, which failed in 1834. However, the success of Indian life insurance can be traced back roughly to the second decade of the nineteenth century when the Madras Equitable began transacting life insurance business in the Madras Presidency in 1829. After that, it was a rather dull phase with regard to the growth in life insurance enterprise. This dullness was due to the very critical phase through which the British insurance companies were passing due to mismanagement and inexperience, thus resulting in the failure of several British offices before 1870 and leading to the enactment of the British Insurance Act, 1870. Till the 70s of the nineteenth century, insurance had found no real place in the scheme of things and only certain European companies
13
operating in parts of India did life insurance business on some scale. But Indian enterprise in this sphere late began to expand and in the last three decades of the nineteenth century the following companies were started in the Bombay Presidency:
Bombay Mutual (1871) Oriental (1874) Empire of India (1897)
Few other companies were also set up in other parts of India. However, this period was dominated by foreign insurance offices, which did good business in India, namely- Albert Life Assurance, Royal Insurance, Liverpool and London Globe Insurance. The Indian offices that were set up during this period came up the hard way and had to struggle against the prevailing prejudice against life insurance and natural ignorance of the people.
The recorded history of Insurance business in India, however, began in 1914 when the Government of India started publishing returns of Insurance Companies in India. The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act, 1912 was the first statutory measure to regulate life insurance business.
Later in 1928 the Indian Insurance Companies Act was enacted to enable the Government to collect statistical information about both life and non-life insurance business transacted in India by Indian and foreign insurers including provident insurance societies. In 1938, with a view to protecting the interest of insuring public, the earlier legislation was consolidated and amended by the Insurance Act 1938 with comprehensive provisions detailed and effective control over the activities of insurers. The Insurance Amendment Act of 1950 abolished Principal Agencies. However there were a large number of insurance companies and the level of competition was high. There were also allegation of unfair trade practices. The Government of India, therefore, decided to nationalize the insurance business. An Ordinance issued on 19th January 1956 nationalized the Life Insurance sector and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) came into existence in the same year, The LIC absorbed 154 Indian, 16 non-Indian insurers as also 75 provident societies. Since then LIC was the only player till the date 90s when the Insurance sector was reopened for the private sector.

Nationalization of Life Insurance
The nationalization of life insurance is an important step in our march towards a socialist society. Its objective will be to serve the individual as well as the state.
“We require life insurance to spread rapidly all over the country and to bring a measure of security to our people”- Jawaharlal Nehru
The firs step towards nationalization of life insurance was taken on 19 January 1956 by the promulgation of the Life Insurance (Emergency Provisions) Ordinance. In terms of this Ordinance, the management of the ‘controlled business’ of insurers was vested in the central government.
Before nationalization, the insurance industry was organized into 243 autonomous units, each with its own separate administrative structure of office and field staff, its own separate set of agents and of medical examiners. Their offices concentrated in he large cities and their field of operation was confined to the major urban areas, out of 145 Indian Insurance companies, as many as 103 had their head offices in the four cities of Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi and Madras. When the Corporation was constituted on 1st September 1956, it integrated into one organization, the controlled business of 243 different units, Indian and foreign, which were engaged in the transaction of life insurance business in India.
The total asset of the above 243 units as on 31st August 1956 were about Rs 4,110 million and the total number of policies in force was over five million assuring a total sum of more than Rs 12,500 million. The total number of salaried employees was nearly 27,000. These figures give a broad idea of the magnitude of the problem involved in setting up an integrated structure.
When parliament sep up LIC as a monopolistic public undertaking, it was argued and believed that elimination of competition and the malpractice that competition has give rise to, would lead to:
Better and more economical management of the Business of life insurance.
15
Reduction in administrative expenses Improvement in the quality of service Increase in volume of business Maximization of social advantages that insurance can provide through higher
returns on investments of life fund, consistent with safety and liquidity of the invested funds
Parties to contract
There are three parties to a life insurance transaction: the insurer, the insured, and the policy owner (policy holder), although the owner and the insured are often the same person. For example, if Joe buys a policy on his own life, he is both the owner and the insured. But if Jane, his wife, buys a policy on Joe's life, she is the owner and he is the insured. The policy owner is the grantee and he or she will be the person who will pay for the policy.
The beneficiary receives policy proceeds upon the insured's death. The owner designates the beneficiary, but the beneficiary is not a party to the policy. The owner may change the beneficiary unless the policy has an irrevocable beneficiary designation. With an irrevocable beneficiary, that beneficiary must agree to any beneficiary changes, policy assignments, or cash value borrowing.
Contract terms
Special provisions may apply, such as suicide clauses wherein the policy becomes null if the insured commits suicide within a specified time (usually two years after the purchase date; some states provide a statutory one-year suicide clause). Any misrepresentations by the insured on the application is also grounds for nullification. Most US states specify that the contestability period cannot be longer than two years; only if the insured dies within this period will the insurer have a legal right to contest the claim and request additional information before deciding to pay or deny the claim.
The face amount on the policy is the initial amount that the policy will pay at the death of the insured or when the policy matures, although the actual death benefit can provide for greater or lesser than the face amount. The policy matures when the insured dies or reaches a specified age
16
Death proceeds
Upon the insured's death, the insurer requires acceptable proof of death before it pays the claim. The normal minimum proof required is a death certificate and the insurer's claim form completed, signed (and typically notarized). If the insured's death is suspicious and the policy amount is large, the insurer may investigate the circumstances surrounding the death before deciding whether it has an obligation to pay the claim.
Insurance vs. assurance
The specific uses of the term "insurance" and "assurance" are sometimes confused. In general, the term insurance refers to providing cover for an event that might happen while assurance is the provision of cover for an event that is certain to happen.
When a person insures the contents of their home they do so because of events that might happen (fire, theft, flood, etc.) They hope their home will never be burgled, or burn down, but they want to ensure that they are financially protected if the worst happens.
When a person insures their life they do so knowing that one day they will die. Therefore a policy that covers death is assured to make a payment. The policy offers assurance on death; even if the policy has a prescribed termination date the policy is still assured to pay on death and therefore is an assurance policy.
The test of whether a policy is assurance or insurance is that with an assurance policy the insured event will definitely occur (at some point) whereas with an insurance policy there is a risk the insured
17
event might occur.
Temporary (Term)
Term life insurance provides for life insurance coverage for a specified term of years for a specified premium. The policy does not accumulate cash value. Term is generally considered "pure" insurance, where the premium buys protection in the event of death and nothing else.
The three key factors to be considered in term insurance are: face amount (protection or death benefit), premium to be paid (cost to the insured), and length of coverage (term).
Permanent
Permanent life insurance is life insurance that remains in force until the policy matures (pays out), unless the owner fails to pay the premium when due (the policy expires). The policy cannot be canceled by the insurer for any reason except fraud in the application, and that cancellation must occur within a period of time defined by law (usually two years). Permanent insurance builds a cash value that reduces the amount at risk to the insurance company and thus the insurance expense over time. This means that a policy with a million dollars face value can be relatively inexpensive to a 70 year old because the actual amount of insurance purchased is much less than one million dollars. The owner can access the money in the cash value by withdrawing
Life Insurance

money, borrowing the cash value, or surrendering the policy and receiving the surrender value.
The three basic types of permanent insurance are whole life, universal life, and endowment.
Whole life coverage
Whole life insurance provides for a level premium, and a cash value table included in the policy guaranteed by the company. The primary advantages of whole life are guaranteed death benefits, guaranteed cash values, fixed and known annual premiums, and mortality and expense charges will not reduce the cash value shown in the policy. The primary disadvantages of whole life are premium inflexibility, and the internal rate of return in the policy may not be competitive with other savings alternatives. Riders are available that can allow one to increase the death benefit by paying additional premium. The death benefit can also be increased through the use of policy dividends. Dividends cannot be guaranteed and may be higher or lower than historical rates over time. Premiums are much higher than term insurance in the short-term, but cumulative premiums are roughly equal if policies are kept in force until average life expectancy.
Universal life coverage
Universal life insurance (UL) is a relatively new insurance product intended to provide permanent insurance coverage with greater flexibility in premium payment and the potential for a higher internal rate of return. A universal life policy includes a cash account. Premiums increase the cash account. Interest is paid within the policy (credited) on the account at a rate specified by the company. This rate has a guaranteed minimum but usually is higher than that minimum. Mortality charges and administrative costs are charged against (reduce) the cash account. The surrender value of the policy is the amount remaining in the cash account less applicable surrender charges, if any.
The universal life policy addresses the perceived disadvantages of whole life. Premiums are flexible. The internal rate of return is usually higher because it moves with the financial markets. Mortality costs and administrative charges are known. And cash
19
value may be considered more easily attainable because the owner can discontinue premiums if the cash value allows it. And universal life has a more flexible death benefitBut universal life has its own disadvantages which stem primarily from this flexibility. The policy lacks the fundamental guarantee that the policy will be in force unless sufficient premiums have been paid and cash values are not guaranteed. Universal life policies are sometimes erroneously referred to as self-sustaining policies.
Endowments
Endowments are policies in which the cash value built up inside the policy, equals the death benefit (face amount) at a certain age. The age this commences is known as the endowment age. Endowments are considerably more expensive (in terms of annual premiums) than either whole life or universal life because the premium paying period is shortened and the endowment date is earlier.Endowment Insurance is paid out whether the insured lives or dies, after a specific period (e.g. 15 years) or a specific age (e.g. 65).
Combining risk cover with financial savings, endowment policies is the most popular policies in the world of life insurance.
In an Endowment Policy, the sum assured is payable even if the insured survives the policy term.
If the insured dies during the tenure of the policy, the insurance firm has to pay the sum assured just as any other pure risk cover.
A pure endowment policy is also a form of financial saving, whereby if the person covered remains alive beyond the tenure of the policy, he gets back the sum assured with some other investment benefits.
In addition to the basic policy, insurers offer various benefits such as double endowment and marriage/ education endowment plans. The cost of such a policy is slightly higher but worth its value.
Related life insurance products
Riders are modifications to the insurance policy added at the same time the policy is issued. These riders change the basic policy to
20
provide some feature desired by the policy owner. A common rider is accidental death, which used to be commonly referred to as "double indemnity", which pays twice the amount of the policy face value if death results from accidental causes, as if both a full coverage policy and an accidental death policy were in effect on the insured. Another common rider is premium waiver, which waives future premiums if the insured becomes disabled.
Joint life insurance is either a term or permanent policy insuring two or more lives with the proceeds payable on the first death.
Survivorship life or second-to-die life is a whole life policy insuring two lives with the proceeds payable on the second (later) death.
Single premium whole life is a policy with only one premium which is payable at the time the policy is issued.
Modified whole life is a whole life policy that charges smaller premiums for a specified period of time after which the premiums increase for the remainder of the policy.
Group life insurance is term insurance covering a group of people, usually employees of a company or members of a union or association. Individual proof of insurability is not normally a consideration in the underwriting. Rather, the underwriter considers the size and turnover of the group, and the financial strength of the group. Contract provisions will attempt to exclude the possibility of adverse selection. Group life insurance often has a provision that a member exiting the group has the right to buy individual insurance coverage.
Privatization of Life Insurance Sector
The Life Insurance market in India is still an underdeveloped market that was only tapped by the state owned LIC till the entry of private insurers. The penetration of life insurance products was 19 percent of the total 400 million of the insurable population. The state owned LIC sold insurance as a tax instrument, not as a product giving protection. Most customers were under-insured with no flexibility or transparency in the products.
21
Hence government privatized this sector on March 2000. With the entry of the private insurers the rules of the game have changed. Life business is growing at 35 percent. The new business premium of the 15 private players have tripled to Rs 1000 crore in 2002-03 over last year. Meanwhile, state owned LIC’s new premium business has fallen. Premium in 2003 and 2004 was 9581.3 and 24254.64 (Rs. In million) respectively, so there is a growth of 153.15% , while in LIC there was a declining growth of 1.93% from 159767.62 to 162846.87 (Rs. In million).Unit linked policies make up 26% of new business. LIC’s first year premium had a 15 percent component of unit linked policies while the private sector had a larger component of 36 percent.
Life Insurance industry recorded a premium income of Rs. 105875.76 crore during 2005-06 as against Rs. 82854.80 crore in the previous financial year, recording a growth of 27.78 percent. The contribution of first year premium, single premium and renewal premium to the total premium was Rs. 21275.75 crore (20.09 percent); Rs. 17509.78 crore (16.54 percent); and Rs. 67090.21 crore (63.37 percent), respectively. In the year 2000-01, when the industry was opened up to the private players, the life insurance premium was Rs. 34,898.48 crore which constituted of Rs. 6996.95 crore of first year premium, Rs. 25191.07 crore of renewal premium and Rs. 2740.45 crore of single premium. Post opening up, single premium had declined from Rs. 9194.07 crore in the year 2001-02 to Rs. 5674.14 crore in 2002-03 with the withdrawal of the guaranteed return policies. Though it went up marginally in 2003-04 to Rs. 5936.50 crore (4.62 percent growth) the year 2004-05 witnessed a significant shift with the single premium income rising to Rs. 10336.30 crore showing 74.11 percent growth over 2003-04, accounting for 12.74 percent of the total premium underwritten in that year.
22
Life insurance industry underwrote first year premium (inclusive of single premium) of Rs. 38785.54 in 2005-06 growth of 47094 percent as against 32.49 percnet in 2004-05. The growth in first year premium was fuelled by sales of unit linked products for the second consecutive year. In a reversal from the experience of the previous year, LIC reported a growth of 47.89 percent in the number of policies underwritten as against a decline of 11 percent in the previous year; the reversal has been witnessed on the strength of the increase in the unit linked business. The single premium individual polices and non-single premium polices written by LIC reported growth of over 35 and 31 percent, respectively. As against this, the number of new polices underwritten by the 14 private sector insurers grew by 73.37 percent as against 34.62
23
percent in 2004-05. While the number of single premium individual policies underwritten by the private insurance companies grew by 103 percent, the non-single premium individual policies grew by 64 percent.
The size of life insurance market increased on the strength of growth in the economy and concomitant increase in per capita income. This resulted in a favorable growth in the total premium both for LIC (20.85 percent) and to the new insurers (95.19 percent) in 2005-06. The higher growth for the new insurers needs to be viewed in the context of a lower base in 2004-05. However, the new insurers have improved their market share from 9.33 percent in 2004-05 to 14.25 percent in 2005-06.

Profits of the life Insurers
28
Life insurance industry is capital intensive, and insurers are required to inject capital at frequent intervals to achieve growth in premium income. Given the high rate of commissions payable in the first year, expenses towards setting up operations, training costs incurred towards developing the agency force, creating a niche for its products, achieving reasonable levels of persistency. Providing for policy liabilities, and maintaining the solvency margin, make it difficult for the insurers to earn profits in the initial five to seven years of their operations. SBI Life Insurance Company is the first private sector company to turnaround with net profit of Rs. 2.03 crore in 2005-06. Bancassurance continued to be the company’s key distribution channel and contributed over 43 percent of the premium underwritten by the insurer. The company has succeeded in achieving an early break even on account of its lower cost of operations. However, the insurer still continues to report a deficit in the Revenue A/C. Shriram Life, which commenced operations in February, 2006, too reported net profit of Rs. 2.56 crore mainly due to investment income on shareholder’s funds and yet to commit funds towards various capital and revenue expenditure.
All the private insurance companies reported deficit in their Revenue Accounts in 2005-06, which needed injection of further capital by the shareholders. Other than Sahara and Shriram, all the private insurers made capital calls during the year. Metlife could not complete the process of allotment of shares by 31st March, 2006 stood at Rs. 3790.81 crore as against Rs. 2590.32 crore on 31st March,2005,i.e. , an increase of 46.34 percent over the previous year. The continued financial support through equity injections reflected the promoters’ commitment in stabilizing the insurer’s operations. During 2005-06 insurers continued to declare bonus despite reporting deficit in the Revenue Account. It may be recalled that in 2003-04 , recognizing the need of the new insurers to declare bonuses to maintain their competitive stance in the market, the Authority had permitted declaration of bonus despite non-availability of actuarial surplus. LIC, continued to report surplus of Rs. 12,733 crore from operations as against Rs. 15884.26 crore in 2004-05, of which Rs. 621.77 crore was transferred to the Government of India (Rs. 696.60 crore in 2004-05).

General Insurance in India
The history of general Insurance dates back to the Industrial Revolution in the west and the consequent growth of sea-farming trade and commerce in the 17th century. It came to India as a legacy of British occupation. British and other foreign Insurance companies through their agencies in India transacted this business. The general insurance business in India can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company Ltd., the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British. Some of the important milestones in the general insurance business in India are:
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. 1968: The Insurance Act amended to regulate investments and set minimum solvency margins and the Tariff Advisory Committee set up. 1972: The General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 nationalized the general insurance business in India with effect from 1 January 1973
The reason why GIB was not brought into the public sector in 1956 was the fact that general insurance was considered a part and parcel of the private sector of trade and industry and functions on a yearly basis. Errors of omission and commission in the conduct of its business did not directly affect the individual citizen.
Prior to 1973 there was 107 companies, including Branch offices of 43 Foreign Companies were operating in India. Majority of these foreign companies were form United Kingdom (27), the rest being form USA (3), Switzerland (3), Germany (2), other European countries (6) and one each from Japan and New Zealand. By an Act of Parliament, the G.I.C. was incorporated in November 1972 as a Holding Company. With nationalization all these Companies were amalgamated and grouped into the following four
30
Companies with the Head Offices in one of the four metropolitan cities of the country:
NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED, CALCUTTA THE NEW INDIA ASSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED,
BOMBAY THE ORIENTAL INSURANCE COMPANYLIMITED, DELHI UNITED INDIA INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED,
MADRAS
The four Companies were formed as G.I.C.’s Subsidiaries from January 1, 1973. The L.I.C., on the other hand is a huge organization. Before Nationalization, the conduct of general insurance/non-life business was by and large urban oriented, catering mainly to the needs of the organized trade and industry.
The Nationalization of the general insurance industry was primarily to “serve better the needs of the economy by securing the development of general insurance business in the best interests of the community, and to ensure that the operation of economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth to the common detriment,……………..”.
December 2000: The GIC subsidiaries were restructured as independent insurance companies. At the same tie, GIC was converted into a national re-insurer. In July 2002, Parliament passed a bill, delinking the four subsidiaries from GIC. Presently there are 15 general insurance companies with 6 public sector companies and 9 private insurers. Although the public sector companies still dominate the general insurance business, the private players are slowly gaining a foothold. General insurance, there may never be any claim and the amount cannot be ascertained in advance.GIC itself has been the major reinsurer. All insurance companies have to give 20 percent of their reinsurance business to GIC. It accounts for 0.56% of GDP. Non-life premium has a 0.71 percent share of GDP. Premium in 2003 and 2004 was 13497.16 and 22907 (Rs. In million), respectively for private sector while 129104.35 and 138276.97 (Rs. In mn) respectively for private sector. Private players grabs 17% of the Non Life insurance market while public sector have 83% market share.
31
The market share of the new players at the end of February 2005 is an impressive 25 percent (without Reckoning ECGC’s premium) up from 17 percent as at the end of February 2004.
The Non-Life Insurance industry reported premium income within India of Rs. 20659 crore in 2005-06 as against Rs. 17480.59 crore during 2004-05, exhibiting a growth of 16.46 percent. During the year, the four public sector non-life insurers underwrote premium of Rs. 14997.06 crore as against Rs. 13972.96 crore in 2004-05, i.e., a growth of 7.33 percent (4.77 percent in 2004-05).

Basics of Unit Linked
Evolution From Traditional to Unit Linked
In traditional Insurance plans, a person pays premium for a 53
particular duration. In this duration or “term” the customers gets a protection for a particular Sum Assured. Usually in such plans in either case of death or maturity, the customer gets the Sum Assured and the bonuses and the policy thus gets terminated. These are the most popular endowment plans that have dominated in the Indian life insurance market, mainly due to the following reasons:
A monopolistic player (not much choice to the consumer) Product push (no need analysis done) Only plans with higher commission was sold Lack of insurance awareness
Over the years this led the customer to believing that, “This is what I pay…. And this is what I get at the end of the contract.”
Questions like, “At what cost am I getting this plan?” “Is it being invested safely?” “Can I maximize my returns?” “Is this value for money?” were never asked…….The exhibit above, gives a pictorial representation of what happens in a traditional policy. The customer has no control over his own investments that he is making in the form of premiums paid.
In the 1960’s, ULIP plans became popular in Europe and they have never looked back since. However with the coming of the private players has opened a whole range of customized solutions for the customer. Also, these plans have contributed to the substantial market share that the private insurers have got in the short duration of 4 years post privatization. In 2000 the overall market share was 2% and as of

EVOLUTION FROM TRADITIONALTO UNIT LINKED
Unit linked plans are based on the component of the premium or the contribution that the customer makes towards the plan. This contribution can be in different modes like: annually/half yearly/quarterly/monthly. This contribution can be based on:
FEATURERS OF A UNIT LINKED PLAN
The best part of a Unit linked plan is the multiple benefits that it offers to its customers! Such plans are therefore packaged a one stop solution for:

These plans accommodate changes in lifestyle and provide a one-shop to manage these changes without the hassle of getting into multiple products.
1. Life Protection
This is the most primary reason for a life insurance policy: to provide protection against any unforeseen event that may occur. However the level of protection varies depending upon the life stage of the client.
Need for protection arises: While being single and independent On getting married and starting a family While being blessed with children To plan and secure children’s future Planning for the marriage of children To enjoy a post retirement life

This graph demonstrates that there is a need for more protection for an individual as the life stages changes, which peaks when the children become independent and settle down. For such an individual as the stage changes, which peaks when the children become independent and settle down.
Joint Life Option:Joint life is meant for husband wife relationship only. In this, both the lives are insured on a first death basis. The key benefit being that both the lives gets protection under one policy. Underwriting happens for both the lives. Since its one policy are on the administration costs.
Choice is available to take the adequate cover and thereafter increase or decrease as per the need. While designing these cover multiples, we take care to ensure that adequate balance is maintained between the saving portion and the charges for protection.
Indexation:This is the most important and the least used, to sell our products. Indexation gives flexibility to the customer to increase the savings to cope-up with inflation. With the increase in savings, sum assured will also increase. Benefits:
Flexibility to increase the death benefit Flexibility to decrease the death benefit Customer has the control to choose when to exercise the
options for increasing or decreasing the assured Increase/Decrease in sum assured possible in the same
contribution Transparent mortality charges, which is cancelled against
units Flexibility to increase savings to cope up with inflation
2. Rider Protection
Various riders can be attached with this plan for extra protection. Protection can be against:
57
Life Stage and Time
An unfortunate accident Protection against disability due to an accident Extra cover for protection against critical illness Requirement of cash in case of hospitalization
Riders have an additional normal charges for the specified benefit. Charges can be of two types:
Fixed Charges Variable Charges
Benefits: Additional protection against 3 Ds (Death, disability and diseases) Possibility to drop this cover at a later date if required
3. Investment and Saving
In traditional plans, the post deduction of charges the customer has no idea where his money is being invested or how this fund is performing. The closest the customer gets is to know the investment guideline as per the regulator. Other than that there is little or no control that the customer has over his policy. A customer to take the benefits of market swings to his favour in these plans.Unit linked solutions on the other fund are very transparent on where the money is being invested and how it’s growing! It keeps the customer updated about his fund movement. These investment patterns are also regulator guided. However, here the customer with varying degree of risk appetite has the benefit of satiating this need.
The investible premium of all the customers is called as the fund. This fund is managed by the fund manager in is invested in:
Equity Markets Debt Markets
Balanced funds are a mix of the above two in varying proportions. For added security of the fund, there is an option of investment in money market and cash within the debt market segment. Also available is a growth option: here the investment perspective leans more towards the equity market and less on the debt market. If this is plotted on a graph, then:

RiskBenefits:
Various fund options to invest in. Risk vs. return to suit individual appetite Option to change or “switch” between funds as per the
changing life style of the individual. Safer option to park extra one time monies as “top ups” Options to re-direct premiums should one want to change
the return profile based on life style or on market conditions.
Increased savings through, “additional regular premiums”. Protection is intact.
4. Transparency
Any insurance policy has certain charges pertaining to the policy. Some types of charges are: operational cost, administrative charges, management charges, mortality charges etc. Unit linked plans are transparent in nature and the customer knows what the charges are.
This transparency helps the customer to understand how effectively the company is managing expenses. As optimizing on expenses will give more ingestible premium within the same contribution and therefore better returns.

Charges are primarily levied since companies incur various expenses on the policy pertaining to heads like:
Distribution Expenses Product Benefit Operational Expenses
Allocation Charges: These are the charges/discount pertaining to the premium to ticket size i.e. the amount of the premium paid. The allocation charges are represented as a percentage of the premium contributed.
Initial Management Charges: Under the head of distribution expenses, these are charges pertaining to the cost of acquiring a policy. The initial cost of a policy is very high. Most insurers charge the customer in the first few years of the policy. They also club it with the allocation rate. These charges are represented as a percentage of the premium paid. For example in ICICI Pru’s Life Time II the allocation rate deducted from the first contribution is 12% to 19% in the first year. In the second year, its 1.4% to 2.5%. Birla Sun Life Classic Life deducts 13% to 15% in the first year and 4% thereafter. In Aviva, however, the initial unit management charge is broken down and not all the charges are deducted upfront. This way the charges are deferred and the customer is benefited from a higher allocation and a higher fund value. This higher fund value has a compounding effect over the term of the policy. Our initial fund management charges are a maximum of 5%.
Fund Management Charges: The fund manager incurs expenses in order to maintain the fund. Every fund has a component of equities and debts. And varying proportions in debts and equities give rise to various funds like debt, balanced, equity, aggressive equity etc. Every fund manager transacts in carious instruments within these funds. For e.g. the cost of buying, selling various funds and instruments constitute the fund management charges. E.g. Kotak Mahindra charges 1.5% for its equity fund and MetUltimate has a charge of 1.35% of the AUM. There is a differential pricing in the fund management charges of an equity fund and a debt fund. A fund manager needs to research the right kind of equity. So the costs of identifying acquiring, maintaining an equity portfolio is higher as compared with a debt
60
fund. The choice of instruments available in a debt fund is relatively less as compared wit the equities. Thus, the equity funds have a higher fund management charges, as compared with a debt fund. For e.g. ICICI Prudential’s secure fund charges .75% and most balanced funds across insurance companies charge 1%. Expressed as a percentage of Assets under Management of a company. The factor on which the fund management charges depends: the main component being the fund composition.
Mortality Charges: This charge is the charge for protecting the life of the insured. This charge can be deducted as a lump sum at the start of the policy or at a regular and recurrent basis. This charge is levied to provide the insurance under the plan. In unit-linked plans the mortality charges apply as per the age of the life insured. So every year the mortality charge changes as per the age of the insured. For e.g. if the life insured is 30 years, the mortality charge for that year will apply e.g. 1.28 per thousand. When the life insured becomes 31 the next year, the mortality charges for 31 years will apply, which may now change to Rs. 1.31 per thousand. So this keeps changing. The tables are referred to as mortality tables. These charges are expressed as a rate per every thousand sum assured. In Aviva, these annual charges are further adjusted on a monthly basis, giving higher flexibility to our customers. In plans where the death benefit is higher of “death benefit or the fund value”; it’s important to understand the concept of “Sum At Risk”. SAR = Sum Assured less fund value.
Rider Charges: Like the mortality charges are used for life protection, the rider charges give additional protection against the rider cove specified. This protection could be against an accidental death, critical illness, dismemberment etc. These charges are also expressed as a rate per thousand Rider SA. Rider charges are also based on the rider type i.e. if it is accelerated or stand-alone. Accelerated riders are economical. Stand-alone rider offers an independent protection against the cover it gives, thus there is a price differentiation. For e.g. in a stand alone critical illness has an additional rider SA being given to the insured n case of the critical illness; the policy remains intact. In case of an accelerated version, on the happening of the event, it’s treated
61
like setting a death claim and the policy to the extent of the rider cover amount is terminated.
Early Redemption Charges: These charges are levied when the policyholder wants to surrender the policy. Unit linked policies are like a whole life as far as these term of the policy is concerned. Therefore this gives the flexibility to make withdrawals on a need-based basis. However, in case of early withdrawals, the cost of the initial expenses needs to be recovered, there fore these charges apply. The insurance companies space out the charges being levied. So, in the initial years of withdrawals, the company needs to recover these expenses, which is done through the surrender charges. These charges are levied on the initial years of the policy, which keeps on decreasing over a period of time. These charges an be expressed as a percentage of the value of investments or as a fixed flat rate depending o the structure of the product. Also, called as the “Early Redemption Charges” the formula is (1-1/(1.05)n*initial premium units*NAV (n=outstanding premium paying term)
Transactional specific charges: These charges are levied when the client does some specific transaction like switching funds, topping up with an additional premium contribution. These charges can either be expressed as a percentage of the amount transacted or as a fixed rate basis. E.g. for top-ups the charge can be expressed as 1% of the top-up amount or a flat rate of Rs. 100/- irrespective of the amount.
Administrative Charges: They are a fixed annual charge. These charges are unitized and deducted on a monthly basis cancelled against the units.
5. Net Asset Value (NAV)
The net asset value of the fund is cumulative market value of the assets fund net of its liabilities. In other words, if the fund is dissolves or liquidated, by selling off all the assets in the fund, this is the amount that the policyholders would collectively own.
62
This gives rise to the concept of net asset value per unit, which is the value, represented by the ownership of one unit in the fund. It is calculated simply by dividing the net asset value of the fund by the number of units. However, most people refer loosely to the NAV per unit as NAV, ignoring the “per unit”.
Calculation of NAVThe most important part of the calculation is the valuation of the assets owned by the fund. Once it is calculated, the NAV is simply the net value of assets divided by the number of units outstanding. The detailed methodology for the calculation of the asset value is given in the next page. This is calculated and published on a daily basis.
Asset value is equal to Sum of market value of assets at market price.(+) Liquid assets/cash held, if any(+) Dividends/interest accrued(-) Amount due on unpaid assets(-) Expenses accrued but not paid. The total outstanding units in the market.
Net Asset Value or the NAV of the fund is an indicator of the fund value. When a premium is invested into a fund then the investible premium (net of charges) is divided by the NAV of that day and the result is the number of units that the policyholder has.
For eg: A person has put in a regular premium of Rs 20,000/- pa. After deduction of charges, let’s assume the investible premium is Rs.12500/- this is the amount that will be invested into the fund. When this is invested, this will be unitized. Assume that the NAV is Rs 10/-. To unitize this amount:12500/10 = 1250 So 1250 is the number of units that the policyholder has.
Now after one week, let’s say the NAV is Rs. 10.52. The value of the fund will be: 1250(# of units)*10.52 (current NAV) = Rs. 13,150/- (value of investment/units or fund value)
63
Thus in a ULIP plan policyholder knows his fund value at any point in time. Unlike a traditional plan where +.investor has no idea how the fund is performing. NAV is published on a daily basis in national dailies, pink papers and on company websites.
6. Investment Choices
After deduction of all the charges form the premium paid the balance amount left is called as the “Investible Premium”. This investible premium is the “savings” element of an insurance plan. In traditional plans, where the investments are done and what are the returns that are being generated is not shared with the policyholder. So if two individuals were investing the same amount of money, their returns and maturity benefits would be the same. In Unit-linked plans however, two different individual are investing in the same plan and one is willing to take more risk, he is benefited from higher returns. With unit linked plans it’s possible or policyholders with varied risk appetite to choose where they want to invest their “investible premium”. We have the following investment options that the policyholder choose from:
UNIT LINKED FUNDS:a. Protector Fund progressive returns on investment by
investing higher element of assets in debt securities. b. Secure Fund The objective of this fund is to provide
progressive return on the investment made. c. Balanced Fund The objective of this fund is to provide
long term capital growth while controlling overall risk, by availing opportunities in debt and equity markets and providing a good balance between risk and return.
d. Growth Fund The objective of this fund is to provide high capital growth by investing higher element of assets in the equity market.
7. Liquidity
Liquidity is pertinent with respect to the ULIP plans since it gives the policyholder the option to choose and customize their
64
withdrawals according to their needs. In traditional plans the maturity benefits are paid at the maturity term of the policy. However, keeping in mind the life situations, it may be probable that the need may change and the policyholder may not wish to withdraw at that particular year. In this respect, the traditional plans are rigid and the ULIP solutions more liquid and flexible. In ULIP solutions the policyholder can redeem all his units and exit from the fund. This would be his maturity. That is why these plans are often referred to as open ended, since the policyholder has the flexibility to decide the maturity tenor and customize the tenor of the policy.
Also, during the term of the policy, some needs may arise due to which, the policyholder may need funds to meet those expenses/contingencies/requirements. In traditional plans, its rigid and the surrender penalties are higher. In ULIP however, one an choose to withdraw partially from the funds. This gives higher liquidity to the policyholder.
Benefits:Since the plans are open ended, the policyholder can exercise full withdrawal (i.e. termination of all units in the fund) based on his need and life situation .The policyholder can invest additional amounts and park extra monies.
8. Taxation Aspect
Savings under Section 80C. New section 80 C has been introduced which provides for deduction up to Rs. 1 lac to all assesses. This would mean that even the people in higher income bracket would be eligible for this benefit. Further, any contribution up to Rs. 100,000/- towards life insurance premium/pension contribution is eligible for deduction to all assesses irrespective of their tax bracket and the benefit shall be to the extent of marginal tax rate.
Other deductions eligible under this section are provident fund, contribution to deferred annuity plan, subscription to units of Mutual Funds (only ELSS), tuition fee, repayment of housing loan (only principle amount), subscription to approved public issues, etc.

Glossary
Accident: An event or occurrence causing damage/injury to an entity, and is unforeseen and unintended. Accident benefit: Provides for payment of an additional benefit equal to the sum assured in installments on permanent total disability and waiver of subsequent premiums payable under the policy. Age limits: Stipulated minimum and maximum ages below and above which the company will not accept applications or may not renew policies. Agent: An insurance company representative licensed by the state that solicits, negotiates or effects contracts of insurance, and provides service to the policyholder for the insurer. Annuity plans: These plans provide for a “pension” (or a mix of a lump sum amount and a pension) to be paid to the policyholder or his spouse. In the event of death of both of them during the policy period, a lump sum amount is provided for the next of kin. Beneficiary: The person(s) or entity (ies) (e.g. corporation, trust, etc) named in the policy as the recipient of insurance proceeds upon the death of the insured. Coverage: The scope of protection provided under a contract of insurance; any of several risks covered by a policy. Endowment policy: The assured has to pay an annual premium, which is determined on the basis of the assureds age at entry and the term of the policy. The insured amount is payable either at the end of specified number of years or upon the death of the insured person, whichever is earlier. Fire insurance: Coverage for losses caused by fire and lightning, plus resultant damage caused by smoke and water. Flood insurance coverage against loss resulting from the flood peril, available at low cost under a program developed by the central government. Indemnity: Legal principle that specifies an insured should not collect more than the actual cash value of a loss but should be restored to approximately the same financial position as existed before the loss. Insurable Interest: A condition in which the person applying for insurance and the person who is to receive the policy benefit will suffer an emotional or financial loss, if any untouched event
98
occurs. Without insurable interest, an insurance contract is invalid. Insurance: Social device for minimizing risks of uncertainty regarding loss by spreading the risk over a large enough number of similar exposure to predict the individual change of loss. Insured: The person whose life is covered by a policy of insurance. Life Assured: The person whose life is insured by an individual life policy is called life assured. Maturity: The date upon which the face amount of a life insurance policy, if not previously invoked due to the contingency covered (death), is paid to the policyholder. Maturity Claim: The payment to the policyholder at the end of the stipulated term of the policy is called maturity claim. Money Back Policy: Unlike endowment plans, in money back policies, the policyholder gets periodic “survivance payments” during the term of the policy and a lump sum amount on surviving its term. In the event of death during the term of the policy, the beneficiary gets the full sum assured, without any deductions for the amounts paid till date, and no further premiums are required to be paid. These type of policies are very popular, since they can be tailored to get large amounts at specific periods as per the needs of the policy holder. Premium: The payment, or one of the regular periodic payments that a policy holder makes to an insurer in exchange for the insurer’s obligation to pay benefits upon the occurrence of the contractually-specified contingency (e.g. death).Risk: The obligation assumed by the insurer when it issues a policy. The spreading of risk across a broad base of the population, adjusted for statistical probability, and the protection against catastrophic loss, is the entire purpose of insurance. For risk assumption purposes, death is viewed as a contingency. That is , although death is certain, its timing is unknown. The process of evaluation and selecting risk is known as underwriting. Surrender value: The value payable to the policyholder in the event of his deciding to terminate the policy before the maturity of the policy.
