    INTRODUCTION

    Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge

    against the riskof a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a

    loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium. An insurer is a company selling the

    insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount, called the premium, to

    be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage. Risk management, the practice of

    appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

    The evolution of human beings from the primordial wild stage to the cave dwelling stage is

    nothing but their saga of search for security. Their quest for security is eternal. Life insurance is

    a device invented by them to seek security against the most important hazards against which they

    found themselves quite helpless. It will not be an exaggeration to say that progress of civilization

    is due to human beings unending pursuit for security.

    Life insurance in its modern form is a western concept. Although it started taking shape since

    last 300 years, it came to India with the arrival of the Europeans .the first life insurance company

    was established in India in 1818 as oriental life insurance company mainly by Europeans to

    provide for widows of Europeans. The companies that followed mainly catered to Europeans and

    charge extra premium on Indians lives. The first Indian company, insuring Indian lives at

    standard rates, was Bombay mutual life insurance company, which was formed in 1870.this was

    the year also when the first Insurance Act was passed by the British parliament. The years

    subsequent to the Swedishi Movement saw the emerging of several insurance companies.

    The end of the year 1955, there were 245 insurance companies and provident societies out of

    which 16 were non-Indian companies. These companies were nationalized in 1956 and brought

    under one umbrellathe life insurance corporation of India, which enjoyed monopoly of life

    insurance business, till almost up to the end of year 2000.By enacting the IRDA Act 2000,the

    government of India effectively ended LICs monopoly and opened the doors for private

    insurance companies

    LIFE INSURANCE

    Life InsurancePolicy is a form of security for the person who insures his life and his family.

    Life insurance policies have helped trade and other economic activities to flourish in a great

    manner. It has generated lots of job opportunities. It is looked upon as a lucrative career option.

    Life insurance companies have also entered the international business scenario.

    The following reasons substantiate why a life insurance policy should be taken:

    A) Early Deaths

    The mortality rate is experiencing a declining trend in many parts of the world. However it is

    also important to note that the age at which People die is also ever decreasing. Some reasons for

    this include unhealthy living style, stress, pollution, and some natural calamities. This

    necessitates people to make adequate measures to yield income for their family and dependents.

    This could be a serious concern if the insured happens to be the sole breadwinner. Some

    individuals see this as an option to plan their retirement.

    B) Advancements in Health Care

    The mortality rate has declined rapidly even though the fact remains that the number of people

    who die at an early age is on the increase. This is mainly due to the advancement in healthcare

    and the awareness on medical facilities. This results in an increased spending at an old age. This

    increased spending is also due to increase in the costs of living apart from paying expensive

    medical bills. Unless they invest in Life insurance or other forms of insurance like health

    insurance it becomes next only too impossible to meet the financial demands especially during

    the old days.

    C) Increase in the Cost of Living and Spending Power

    The purchasing power of the consumers and the standard of living has experienced a steep rise

    over the years. The increase in National Income and gross domestic product are Partly

    responsible for this. Individuals incur many unexpected expenses due to the growing needs.

    Insurance comes in handy to meet such an unexpected expense. It also

    Makes sure that an individual is able to meticulously plan his finances.

    Insurance option is more or less an interest free loan. An individual can cancel his insurance

    policy and obtain a huge amount if it is imperative in meeting an urgent expenses and he does

    not have alternative sources for finance. Life insurance companies therefore do the needful to

    consumers.

    D) Tax Concessions

    Income tax concessions are available to individuals and corporate houses that adopt insurance

    policies. Many have been making investments in Insurance with the sole aim of enjoying tax

    benefits. This naturally increases spending power. Since the investments increases the economic

    activities in the country automatically increases.

    This procedure can be stepped down as follows:

    1. Pitching the customer: The first and foremost thing is that, client should be ready to purchase

    the Insurance plan. Insurance is not a very preferable product yet in India. And,

    thus, co. has to be very vigilant. Advisors, at BSLI, maintain relationships and make the most of

    their Goodwill. Insurance is a Relationship oriented business. Keeping this in mind BSLI also

    initiated Bancassurance, where Banks image of being loyal to the customers, plays a major role

    in pitching the customer to buy Insurance. BSLI uses following routes for distributing their

    Product to general public:

    a. Direct Personal Contacts (through Advisors)

    b. Bancassurance (through Banks)

    c. Personal Relations (through co. employees)

    d. Existing Policyholders.

    2. Sales Illustration: BSLI is the first company to give demonstration of the fund performance

    i.e. how a certain policy will perform or will give returns. BSLI Advisors give sales illustration.

    Fund performance is shown on 6% and 10% projections. If client find these projected returns

    suitable to his/her risk profile, he go for purchasing the policy.

    3. Proposal Form: Now as client is ready to get insured, advisor gives him the proposalform and asks for all the documents required. Proposal form is a 4 page document that

    contains all the necessary information related to the Insured and the Owner of the policy.

    Documents required along with the proposal form are:

    Date-Of-Birth Proof Address & ID Proof Income Certificate

    Medical Certificates (only if Insurer is a senior citizen)

    4. After Sales Service: Now after the Insurance is sold, follow-ups are required.Advisorneeds to maintain good relations with the policyholder. Insurance co. can

    Generate further business, only if, existing policyholders are satisfied with the services being

    provided by the advisor of the co. Thus, BSLI keeps this in mind and Business Development

    Executives continuously track the needs of the policyholders. BSLI provides the

    policyholders with monthly updates of the fund performance and also discloses the asset

    portfolio of the fund. This assists the policyholders to manage their policy according to their

    risk profile. They can, thus, change their fund allocation as well as the asset allocation in any

    fund, chosen by them.

    CONCLUSION

    Insurance sector today playing a major role in everyones life lot more than ever before life

    currently there is a comprehensive range of products covering each type of policy available in

    the market. Most insurance plans block money for certain period of time; a BSLI plan gives the

    double benefit of life insurance along with easy liquidity through lump sum cash. BSLI also

    gives various Riders, which provides extra benefits to the customers.

    Birla Sun Life Insurance (BSLI), one of the largest private life insurers, is gearing itself to take

    advantage of the vast rural opportunity that has opened up as a result of the revised definition of

    rural areas by the IRDA. Over the last four years, BSLI has painstakingly built its rural

    infrastructure to create a cost-effective distribution network across the country.

    The market potential for private insurance companies is found to be greater in the long run as

    most of the Indians are of the opinion that, private insurance companies would be able to

    perform well in the future. The private and foreign insurance companies have to take immediate

    steps in appointing more number of agents and/or advisors in addition to the employees as it has

    been found out that agents are the best channel to reach the general public regarding selling of

    insurance products. The private and foreign insurance companies have to concentrate on the

    factors like 'Prevention of Loss', 'Assured Returns' and 'Long term Investment'. They can also

    focus on an insurance amount of Rs. 1 2 lakhs with 'money back policies'. Hence, the market

    has potential. The private and foreign insurance companies that are taking immediate steps can

    tap it easily & rapidly.
