Each department of the insurance industry have their own set of responsibilities and perform various tasks. The main work areas are : Administrative Officer (AO) and Assistant Administrative Officer (AAO) : These 1st class officer group in LIC and GIC begin their job with probation-cum-training period for 6 months where the candidate is placed anywhere in the country. AAOs can choose any of the areas from Administration, Development and Accounts. Administration AAOs handle policy making, policy claims up to certain limit, checking clauses and details, filing official returns and statements to higher regional offices etc. The Development AAOs deal with marketing and procurement of business, meeting prospective clients, promoting the policies and getting contracts. The Accounts AAOs manage the funds including incomes and expenses of the corporation. AAO's can be promoted to AO's after 3 years of working experience.
