INDUSTRY PROFILE
BRIEF HISTORY OF INSURANCE IN INDIA
Life insurance activity in its modern from started in India in 1818 to provide insurance for the European soldiers and civilians to benefit their families. The first Indian Life insurance company, the Bombay Mutual Life assurance society started its business in 1870. This was the first company, which charged same amount of premium on both Indian and Non-Indian lives. Earlier native Indian lives were considered more risky and hence were charged more premiums for coverage. Foreign insurance companies dominated insurance business in India and enjoyed monopoly right up to the end of nineteenth century. Insurance regulation formally began in India through the passing of two acts, the life Insurance companies act of 1912 and the provident act 1912, the first legislation was introduced with the insurance act of 1938 that provided strict state control over insurance business in the country. This provided an effective cheek on the large-scale frauds that sullied insurance business during the 1930`s. In the 1940s, there were more than 220 Insurance companies in India. There was no control over the starting and closing of insurance companies. Customer`s money was on stake. After independence, the business of insurance grew at a faster pace as the competition among the Indian companies intensified. At this juncture, the government of India decided to merge all the insurance companies. In the year 1956, the merger and nationalization of all existing life insurance companies were done which resulted in giving birth to the life insurance corporation of

With the heightened awareness and the consumer education comes a willingness to view life insurance as an integral part of the financial portfolio. No longer is the life insurance a poorly understood product that is pushed onto people. Nor is it a product that is only to be bought hurriedly at the time of filling taxes. It`s now catching on as an important element of the overall financial basket one that is purchased to fulfill specific rational and emotional needs. Not only there has been a charge in the structure and nature of the products, but also in the way they are sold.
