INDUSTRY PROFILE

INSURANCE INDUSTRY AN OVERVIEW

Ins'rance may be (escribe( as a social (e+ice to re('ce or eliminate risk of life an( property- n(er

the plan of ins'rance, a lar*e n'mber of people associate themsel+es by sharin* risk, attache( to

in(i+i('al- The risk, which can be ins're( a*ainst incl'(e fire, the peril of sea, (eath, inci(ent, 6

b'r*lary- Any risk contin*ent 'pon these may be ins're( a*ainst at a premi'm commens'rate with the

risk in+ol+e(-

Ins'rance is act'ally a contract between 5 parties whereby one party calle( ins'rer 'n(ertakes in

e2chan*e for a fi2e( s'm calle( premi'm to pay the other party happenin* of a certain e+ent-

Ins'rance is a contract whereby, in ret'rn for the payment of premi'm by the ins're(, the ins'rers pay

the financial losses s'ffere( by the ins're( as a res'lt of the occ'rrence of 'nforeseen e+ents- 7ith the

help of ins'rance, lar*e n'mber of people e2pose( to a similar risk makes contrib'tions to a common

f'n( o't of which the losses s'ffere( by the 'nfort'nate few, ('e to acci(ental e+ents, are ma(e *oo(-

This is the c'rrent scenario of the *lobal Ins'rance In('stry an( now, let 's looks at the basic f'nctions

of ins'rance- 7hile conce(in* that ins'rance is a risk8transfer tool, corporate sho'l( be ma(e to

'n(erstan( that it (oes not s'ffice merely to transfer the risk b't they ha+e to participate in the effort of

loss pre+ention- New b't they ha+e to participate in the effort of loss pre+ention- New techni3'es an(

technolo*y ha+e to be a(opte( from time to time in or(er to impro+e performance an( this has special

si*nificance to the or(er to impro+e performance an( this has special si*nificance to the In(ian

Ins'rance In('stry- The In(ian ins'rance in('stry has always s'ffere( from (rawbacks like lack of

proper 'n(erstan(in* of the p'rpose of ins'rance, lopsi(e( *rowth etc- 7ith the openin* 'p of the

in('stry, it is hope( that the new entrants with their better channels wo'l( sprea( the real messa*e of

ins'rance, lea(in* to a (ynamic *rowth- Emphasis sho'l( be on fin(in* new technolo*ical a+en'es,altho'*h it has been obser+e( worl( o+er that for sellin* ins'rance, an eye8to8eye contact is essential-

Internet can be

se( for better ser+icin* which wo'l( e+ent'ally, lea( to b'siness (e+elopment- 7ith the entry of

forei*n companies into the ins'rance arena, a fresh life has been in('cte( an( there is a *reat (eal of

INSURANCE SECTOR REFORMS

The ins'rance sector be*an its reform process with the passa*e of the IR%A the Ins'rance Re*'latoryan( %e+elopment A'thorityD bill in #arliament in %ecember 1>>>- =owe+er with the settin* 'p of

IR%A, the *o+ernment has once a*ain (e8re*'late( the sector openin* it for the pri+ate players- The

entry of pri+ate players has enable( the in('stry to look at alternati+e (istrib'tion channels- To *et the

ma2im'm pie of the premi'm, e+ery ins'rance company is a(optin* new (istrib'tion an( marketin*

strate*ies- The transition of the ins'rance in('stry from a p'blic monopoly to a competiti+e

en+ironment now presents +ery interestin* challen*es both to the new players an( to the c'stomer- Not

only the new players ha+e an opport'nity to test o't their +ario's hypotheses an( apply learnin*.s from

o+erseas markets, the c'stomer will ha+e a *reater choice when it comes to choosin* a pro+i(er or a

sol'tion for their nee(s-

(ENEFIT OF INSURANCE

Ins'rance can be seen as a he(*e a*ainst the 'ne2pecte( calamities like (eath, theft or (ama*e of

property ('e to acci(ents, fire etc- The ins'rance potential 'ntappe( means h'man an( physical assets

'nprotecte( an( their worth 'npreser+e(- The sense of lost worth is relati+ely easy to 'n(erstan( in the

case property- 4't it is (iffic'lt to +iew h'man bein*s from this an*le- 7hen these two thin*s are

appreciate( in their ri*ht spirit, life ins'rance in In(ia will not remain simply as one more so'rce or

a+en'e of sa+in*s-

The most important benefit is the i(entification of 'ne2pecte( losses- Restorin* of losses not

only reb'il(s the economic +iability of an or*ani0ation b't also stren*thens the society at lar*e- 7hen

the 'ncertainty *ets re('ce( an ins're( person can spen( more time an( ener*y, work with *reater

concentration, res'ltin* in hi*her efficiency an( better performance- From the mana*ement point of

>

+iew, it is acc'm'lation of f'n( for in+estment in the fiel( of national priority- Acc'm'lation of f'n(

stems o't of a *ap in in8payment timin*s-

This means a lar*e amo'nt of money remainin* 'n(er the (isposal of ins'rer for in+estment in

a more pro('cti+e way- The other major benefit arisin* o't of ins'rance is the stren*thenin* of small

b'siness ho'ses- Ins'rance can help a small 'nit to *et in+ol+e( with those economic acti+ities for

which reso'rce re3'irement is beyon( its infernally acc'm'late( f'n( an(or mobili0in* capacity- The

bi**est beneficiary of the incomin* competition in ins'rance will be In(ian cons'mers- They will ha+e

more choice of ins'rance schemes- At present In(ians are the most (epri+e( ins'rance c'stomers in the

worl(, o't of abo't 1/: *eneral ins'rance schemes on the *lobal le+el, only 1: per cent of them are

offere( by the fo'r s'bsi(iaries of the BIC- So thro'*h pri+ation cons'mers will *et wi(e ran*e of

ins'rance pro('cts- Also claims settlement will be hassle free an( c'stomer frien(ly-

CHALLEN0ES FOR INSURANCE SECTOR

Ins'rance companies in In(ia will ha+e to (e+elop appropriate channels to lap this h'*e market

as the core of ins'rance b'siness hin*es on an efficient (istrib'tion-

%irect marketin* is one of the most s'ccessf'l channels of (istrib'tion in the (e+elope(

economics- It is a *reat way to reach a lar*e pop'lation- So the pro('ct sho'l( be sol( thro'*h

telemarketin* or (irect mail-

In the ins'rance b'siness cost control an( ability to ser+ice lar*e n'mber of c'stomers are

cr'cial iss'es- So mo(ern technolo*y is to be a(opte( to han(le both the ser+ices effecti+ely-

To(ay c'stomers are well e3'ippe( with information, so ins'rance company sho'l( reposition

(ifferent pro('ct by chan*in* c'stomer attit'(es-

The act'ary sho'l( be re3'ire( to atten( minim'm n'mber of seminars calle( contin'o's

professional (e+elopment co'rses for financial control of the or*ani0ation-

%istrib'tion of e2istin* ins'rance pro('cts is the main co'rse of worry for ins'rance

companies in In(ia- The ins'rance companies are 'sin* 74FCS, banks an( ho'sin* finance-

Companies for (istrib'tion (o not ha+e m'ch control on the a*ents an( hence lose 3'ality in the

(istrib'tion channel- So 4ank.s a(+isory committee, representation of a*ency sho'l( be license(-
