INTRODUCTION TO LIFE INSURANCE

Life Insurance is most commonly used to financially protect your

family from the premature death of you and/or your spouse.

Unfortunately, it's probably the least Favorite thing to plan for. And,

as a result, adequate planning is often put off until it's too late.

Although it may sound simple, there are many things to consider. 

There are many ways to protect your family with life insurance. 

So, consulting with a Life Insurance Professional can be vital! Not

Only For Family Protection? Life Insurance planning is not only for

those who support a family.  There are several reasons for

thorough life insurance planning.  For example, have you recently

purchased? A new home? Have you recently been married? Have

you made Career changes? Other key purposes of life insurance

include retirement and estate planning. Life Insurance Proceeds &

Taxes, Many people don't realize that even Though life Insurance

proceeds are paid income tax-free to the Beneficiary, there's a

good chance the proceeds will be included in the value of your

estate which may be taxed. I Have Life Insurance through work.

People often make the mistake of assuming their employer-

provided life Insurance is adequate. However, employer-provided

life Insurance is typically only equal to one year's salary...far from

enough for the family provider to protect His /her family adequately

and not enough for the average single person to repay outstanding

debts – Often leaving parents and siblings dealing with such Bills.

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.

WHAT IS INSURANCE?

The Business of Insurance is related to the economic value of

assets. Every asset has a value. The asset would have been

created through the effort of the Owners.

The asset is valuable to the owner because he expects to get

benefits from it. Every asset is expected to last for a certain period

of time during which they perform after that the benefit may not be

available. There is a lifetime for a machine is a factory or a cow, or

a motorcar, none of they will last forever. Thus the owner makes

sure, that the value and income is not lost. However, the asset

may get lost earlier.

BRIEF HISTORY OF INSURANCE

The Business of Insurance started from the Marine Business.

Traders who use to

Gather in the Loyalid Coffee House Business in London agreed to

share the Looses to their goods while being carried by ships. The

First Insurance Policy was issued in 1583, in England. In India,

Insurance began in 1870, with English Company. (The European

and the Clbert).

The First Indian Insurance Company is Bombay Mutual Assurance

Society Limited Formed in 1870, followed by the Oriental Life

Assurance Company in 1874. In, 1896, the Second Company is

Bharti. The Third is Empire of India, 1897. Life Insurance

Corporation was formed on 1st September, 1956 and there were

170 Private Sectors. Insurance is known as a “Social Security

Tool”. The U.N. Declaration of Human Rights 1948 provides that

every one has a right of standard of living, adequate of health and

well being of himself and his family including food, clothing,

Housing and Medical Care.

INDUSTRY PROFILE:

History of insurance:

Insurance began as a way of reducing the risk of traders,

as early as 5000 BC and 4500 BC in. Life insurance dates only to

ancient Rome; "burial clubs" covered the cost of members' funeral

expenses and helped survivors monetarily. Modern life insurance

started in late 17th century, originally as insurance for traders:

merchants, ship owners and underwriters met to discuss deals at

Lloyd's Coffee House, predecessor to the famous.

The first insurance company was formed in 1732, but it provided

only fire insurance. The sale of life insurance in the U.S. began in

the late 1760s. The Synods in and created the Corporation for

Relief of Poor and Distressed Widows and Children of

Presbyterian Ministers in 1759; Episcopalian priests organized a

similar fund in 1769. Between 1787 and 1837 more than two

dozen life insurance companies were started, but fewer than half a

dozen survived. Prior to, many insurance companies in the United

States for their owners, in response to bills passed in 2001 and in

2003, the companies have been required to search their records

for such policies for example reported that Nautilus sold

485slaveholder life insurance policies during a two-year period in

the 1840s; they added that their trustees voted to end the sale of

such policies 15 years before the.

General information:

Human have always sought securities. This quest for

security was an important motivating force in the earliest formation

of families, clans, tribes, and other groups. Indeed, groups have

been the primary source both emotional and physical security

since the beginning of humankind. They ensured a less volatile

source of life necessities then that which ensures isolated human

& families could provide and help their less fortunate members in

the time of crises.

Human today continue their quest to achieve security and

reduce risk uncertainty. We still rely on group for financial stability.

The group may be our employer, the government, or an insurance

company, but concept is the same. In some ways however, we

today are more vulnerable that our ancestors. The physical and

economical securities formerly provided by the tribes or extended

family diminished with industrialization. Our income dependent,

wealth acquiring lifestyle renders and our families more vulnerable

to environment and societal changes over which we have no

control.

Humans are exposed to many serious perils, such as

property loss from fire or windstorm, and personal losses from

incapacity and death. All through individual cannot predict or

completely prevent such occurrences, they can provide for their

financial effects.

Encyclopedia of finance and banking defines insurance as

the elimination of or protection against risk amenable to actual

calculation, voidance or reduction of losses occurring through

misfortunes such as death, fire, accident, tornado, shipwreck, etc.

insurance is a contact between an insurer and insured where by

the insurer identifies the insured against loss due to specific risks

such as from fire, storm and death. Insurance contracts require an

agreement, considerations, capacity, legality, compliance with the

status of frauds and delivery. Insurance is an integral part of most

enterprises, risk management program. Insurance does not

prevent losses, it substitutes a small certain loss (premium) for a

possible or contingent large loss. The insured is indemnified for the

amount of loss, for the insured amount, or for the face of his policy,

in return for payment of periodic premiums.

The principle kinds of insurance are as follows:

Life-term, ordinary, endowment, limited payment, group

industrial and annuities, with a variety of combinations of the

four basic forms.

Fire & marine-fire, ocean marine, motor vehicle, inland navigation,

and transportation, tornado and windstorm, sprinkler leakage,

earthquake, riot and civil commotion, explosion rain, hale, flood,

aircraft, etc.

Causality and surety -automobile liability, liability other than

automobile workers, compensation, fidelity and surety, burglary

and theft, automobile property damage, accident in health, steam

boiler, machinery, plate glass, etc.

All mutual and legal reserves life insurance companies provide for

a participation in dividends by all policy holders. In this way the

cost of insurance to the insured is reduced.

Four classes of insurance business:

Life insurance

Fire insurance

Marine insurance

Miscellaneous insurance.

Brief history of insurance sector in India:

The insurance sector in India has come full circle from being

open competitive market to nationalization and back to liberalized

market again. Tracing the developments in India, insurance sector

reveals the 360-degree turn witnessed over a period of almost two

centuries.

1818 – Oriental insurance company was established.

1870– Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society, the first Indian life

insurance company started its business.

1912 – Indian life insurance companies act as the first statute to

regulate the life insurance business

1928 – The Indian insurance companies act enacted to enable the

government to collect statistical information about both life and non

life insurance business.

1938 – Earlier legislation consol dated and amended to by the

insurance act with the objective of protecting the interest of

insuring public.

1956 – 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies

taken over by the central government were nationalized.

Insurance sector reforms:

In 1993 Malhotra committee, headed by former finance

secretary and RBI governor R N Malhotra was formed to evaluate

the Indian insurance industry and recommended its future direct

on. The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of

complimenting the reforms initiated in the financial sector.

Recommendation included in the report submitted by the

committee

Structure:

Government stake in the insurance companies to brought

down to 50%

Government should takeover the wordings of GIC and its

subsidiaries, so that these subsidiaries can act as independent

companies.

All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to

operate.

Competition:

Private companies with minimum paid up capital of Rs. 1

billion should be allowed to enter the industry; no company

should deal in both life and general insurance through single

entity.

Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry

collaboration with domestic companies.

Postal life insurance should be allowed to operate in rural areas

Only one state level life insurance company should be allowed to

operate in each state.

Regulatory body:

The insurance act should be changed

An insurance regulatory body should be set up.

Life insurers transact life insurance business; general insurers

transact the rest. No companies are permitted as per law.

Legislation (as on 1-4-2000):

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

Fire and miscellaneous insurance business are predominant

motor and vehicle insurance is compulsory.

Tariff Advisory Committee (TAC) lays down tariff rates for

some of the general insurance products.

Customer Protection:

Insurance industry has ombudsmen in 12 cities. Each

ombudsman is empowered to redress customer grievances in

respect of insurance contracts on personal lines where the

insurance amount is less than 20 Lakhs, in accordance with the

ombudsmen scheme. Address can be obtained from the officers of

LIC and other insurers.

NEED FOR LIFE INSURANCE

Maslow’s need hierarchy theory:

Making the person feel “SAFE” other expression of the need for safety occur

when individuals are confronted with real emergencies e.g. accidents, war, crime,

natural calamities, etc. once physical needs are met, another set to motives, safety or

security needs, become motivates. The primary motivating force here is to ensure

reasonable degree of continuity, order, structure and predictability in once

environment. Maslow suggested that the safety needs are most readily observed in

infant and young children because of their relative’s helplessness and dependence

on adults.

Security needs in original context co-related to such factors as job security,

salary increment, safe working conditions, unionization and lobbying for prospective

registration.

Risk and uncertainty are part of life great adventures accident, illness, thefts,

natural disaster. They are built into the working of universe, waiting to happen.

Insurance that is main answer to the vagaries of life. If you cannot beat the manmade

and natural calamities, wealth, at least be prepared for them and aftermath.

Insurance is contract between two parties one is insurer (insurance company)

and insured (the person or entity seeking the coverage). Where the insurer agrees to

pay the insured for the financial loses arising out of any unforeseen events in return

for a regular payment of the premium.

These unforeseen events are determined as risk and that is why insurance is

called is the risk cover. Hence the insurance is the essential means to financially

compensate for loses that life throws at people- corporate and otherwise.

India at glance:

Economy: India is 5th largest economy in the world in terms of purchase.

GDP Growth rate: over 6% per year on an average for the last decade.

Savings rate: around 26% of GDP

Estimated middle class population: 300 million

Insured population: 70 million

India has an enormous middle class that can afford to by life, health and disability

and pens on plan products. The level of penetration of life insurance in India

compared to other developed nations can be judged by a comparison of per capita

life premium.

SOCIAL PRODUCT

Development Insurance Plan

Development Insurance plan is an insurance plan which provides life cover to

members of a Development Agency for a term of one year. On the death of any

member of the group insured during the year of cover, a lump sum is paid to those

member beneficiaries to help meet some of the immediate financial needs following

their loss.

Eligibility

  Members of the development agency and their spouses with:

   - Minimum age at the start of the policy 18 years last

birthday

    - Maximum age at the start of policy 50 years last birthday

Employees of the Development Agency are not eligible to join

the group. The group to be covered is only eligible if it contains

more than 500 members.

Premium Payments

  The premium to be paid will be quoted per member in the group

and will be the same for all members of the group.

The premium can only be paid by the Development Agency as

a single lump sum that includes all premiums for the group to be

covered. Cover will not start until the premium and all the

member information in our specified format has been received.

  The premium rate is Rs. 25 per Rs. 10,000 of lump sum, per

member.

Benefits

  On the death of each member covered by the policy during the

year of cover a lump sum equal to the sum assured will be paid

to their beneficiaries or legal heirs. Where the death is as a

result of an accident, an additional lump sum will be paid equal

to half the sum assured. There are no benefits paid at the end

of the year of cover and there is no surrender value available at

any time.

The role of the Development Agency

  Due to the nature of the groups covered, METLife will be

passing certain administrative tasks onto the Development

Agency. By passing on these tasks the premium charged can

be lower. These tasks would include:

  Submission of member data in a specified computer format

Collection of premiums from group members

Recording changes in the details of group members

Disbursement of claim payments and the mortality rebate (if

any) to group

Members

These tasks would be in addition to the usual duties of a

policyholder such as:

Payment of premiums

Reporting of claims

Keeping policy holder information up to date

  Training and support will be available to give guidance on how

to complete the tasks appropriately.

Since these additional tasks will impose a burden on the

Development Agency, the Development Agency may charge a

FINDING AND SUGGESTION;-

In the insurance sector the people come for join as a financial advisor

they have not more qualification most of people have qualification

below intermediate.

So it is important that company choose that person for financial advisor

who have better education and he have more knowledge about the

market.

.Persons are interested in insurance sector for work they like it for its

facilities. People give positive response when I asked him that are they

interested in insurance sector. So if the company gives more facilities

tjen the people join it and they take more interest in it.

When I asked them that why they want to join it most of people join it

for better opportunities, few people join it for money but some people

join it that it is an honorable business. So if the company gives the

more opportunities to financial advisor as like incentive, award,

promotion etc. many people join it.

When I asked that they have any experience then less people said that

they have experience in this sector. It means less people already work

in this sector. So if the companies give more attention then they get

more people for work in the company.

People work in this sector less time, those people who have

experience they worked less time more people work in this sector

below 3 years.

There are tow types of insurance held in the field first General

Insurance for motor and second is Life Insurance for men, more people

have experience in the life insurance it is a benefit for the company that

more people can join it as a job.

Those person who are work already in a other organization they want

ot left that organization some people say due to conflict in the

organization, some say that the can not get more opportunities in that

organization, some say for money and some say that they have some

personal problem for leaving the organization. It means if the

organization improves these facilities then the organization attract more

experience people in the organization.

More people want to join the MetLife insurance company. Its means

the company have more value in the market and it gives more facility

instead of others companies.

More people want to join this company due to its facilities and

opportunities which are given to the financial advisors. So its

impartment that company try to provides more facilities that more

people join it.

Many people have a insurance policy it so that they are aware with it

and think that it is so impartment the people.

Many people join it as a part time job due to some reason so it is

necessary that company provides him facilities according him because

they work when they get the time.

CONCLUSION:

BRAND, the brand of MetLife Insurance appeals to growing middle-income

group. It has the support of an aggressive foreign bank at its back; Its market
