Introduction of Insurance
Insurance is a contract between the insurance company (insurer) and the
policyholder (insured). In return for a consideration (the premium), the insurance
company promises to pay a specified amount to the insured on the happening of a
specified event.

As the first step in helping you to gain the knowledge you need to become a
professional and successful life insurance agent, we are going to first take an
overview of life insurance what it is and why it is needed.
In seeing how life insurance works we will need to make reference to the insurance
market as a whole insurance is available for many other things, not just for
human life but our focus will remain firmly on the life insurance part of it.

How does insurance work
We can move on to understanding how insurance works exactly.
Case study:-
Ajay is 35 years old and works for a multinational corporation (MNC). He has a 10
year old son, Vijay, whom he dreams will one day become a doctor. Ajays spouse
is a housewife, and his parents are retired and depend on him. Ajay has a home
loan and is making monthly investments for Vijays higher studies and marriage
and his own retirement. Ajay wants to ensure that Vijay gets the best of everything
and that he himself is not depend on Vijay during his retirement in the way that
Ajays parents are on him. So far everything is going well with Ajays plans. But
imagine what will happen in the following scenario.
One day while returning home from the office Ajay has an accident and dies. What
will happen? Who will take care of the family, Vijays education and marriage, the
home loan etc? What are options available to Ajay so that his family can be taken
care of in his absence?
Life insurance provides protection to a family on the untimely death of income
provider. If Ajay has adequate life insurance cover, then should he die, the money
received from the life insurance company can help to support his family. The
insurance money will help to take care of the familys living expenses, Vijays
education and marriage, and the cost of the home loan etc.
Let us continue with our case study of Ajay. The risk of premature death described
above is only one of the risks that Ajay faces. He faces any other risks that he
will need medical care at some point, that his home may burn down, for instance.
Ajay can handle these risks in different ways




IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 10

Risk retention: One, not very wise way, of handling these risks is to retain
them, i.e. for Ajay to bear the risk that he will have to provide these situations
himself, and so do nothing about them. While times are good and none of these
events happen, Ajay need not be worried. But the moment any one of them does
happen, Ajay will be in trouble. So it is definitely not wise for Ajay retain, or
handle, these risks himself.

. Risk transfer: the other way of handling these risks is to transfer them to
someone who can handle them properly. In simple words, the process of
transferring risks from one person who does not have the capacity to bear them to
someone who does have the capacity for them, is known as insurance.
At this point, it may be useful to return to our definition of insurance:
Insurance is a contract between the insurance company (insurer) and the
policyholder (insured). In return for a consideration (the premium), the insurance
company promises to pay a specified amount to the insured on the happening of a
specified event.
So, from the above explanation we can see that insurance is:
The process of transferring the risk from the owner (insured person);
To another party (insurer) who can bear that risk;
In for a consideration (premium).

Role of financial services and insurance: we can see from all of this that a well
developed and evolved insurance sector benefits economic development and at the
same time strengthens the risk taking ability of the country.

Some of the benefits for the policyholder are shown below:
Investment option Insurance products are an excellent investment option
where the policyholder not only gets the advantage of
insurance cover, but also a return on their investments
based on their risk appetite.
Protection of financial
security
Insurance companies provide compensation in case
something happens to the assets or the individual insured,
as per the terms and conditions of the policy. Life
insurance protects the family against the loss of the
income provider, helping to provide for the familys
needs and the childrens education and marriage. Hence
the effect of loss is considerably reduced for and
individual.
Tax benefits Insurance offers considerable tax benefits under the
income tax act 1961. Premium paid up to Rs. 1,00,000
qualifies for education from taxable income under
section 80C of the Act, subject to certain terms and
conditions. The death benefit or the maturity benefit
received by the nominee or the policyholder is tax free
under section 10 (10D) of the Act, as per prevailing laws,
before premium paid up to Rs. 1,00,000.
Planning for life stage
needs
Today the insurance products that are being offered by
insurance companies are designed to suit the needs of
individuals in different age groups. This allows
individuals to invest in insurance policies to meet their
various and changing priorities.
Develops the habit of
saving
An individual learns to save a certain amount of money
from their income in order to pay their insurance
premium. This encourages the habit of saving among
individuals.
Loan against
insurance policy
Individuals can also take out a loan against their insurance
policies, subject to the conditions and privileges of the policy,
without affecting any policy benefits.
Releases capital and
management
When the management of a company knows that many of
the risks faced by the company are covered by insurance,
they no longer need to set funds aside to cover the impact
of those risks taking place. They are also free to
concentrate on developing and growing their business.
This makes the company more effective, which in turn
helps to improve the overall economy of the country.

Introduction of Life insurance Business
Life insurance companies risks that relate to human lives. They offer
different benefits under different types of products and cover the risk of early
death, as well as the risk of living into old age. Under traditional plans, like term
insurance plans, insurance companies provide death cover. If the insured person
dies within the term of policy then the nominee\beneficiary amount (also known as
sum assured).
The key objectives of the IRDA include the promotion of competition with a
view to increasing customer satisfaction through more consumer choice and lower
premiums, while insuring the financial security of the insurance market. The IRDA
has the power to make regulations under section 114A of the insurance Act 1938.
Since 2000 it has introduced various regulations ranging from the registration of
companies for carrying on insurance business to the protection of policyholders
interests.
The insurance Act 1938 and GIBNA were amended which removed the
exclusive privilege of GIC and its four subsidiaries to write general insurance in
Indi. As a result, general insurance business was opened up to the private sector.

Types of Insurance Organizations
Insurance organizations are divided into three main categories, as the
following figure shows. We will look briefly at the various products the different
types of insurance organizations offers in below sections:










Insurance
Life
Insurance
Non-Life
Insurance
Reinsurance
IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 14

Life insurance companies
Life insurance companies cover risks that relate to human lives. A professional
market insures that the customer gets what they are looking for rather than what
the company wishes to sell them. This is called needed based selling. A
customer who is confident that they will only be sold a product that meets their
needs is more likely to buy again, and recommended insurance to others. The
insurance industrys regulator (the IRDA) has been proactively trying to address
concerns about miss-selling, which is where a customer has been sold a policy that
does not meet their needs in some way. When this happens the public becomes
wary and cynical about the value of insurance.
Non life insurance companies
Non life insurance companies generally cover risks other than those
relating to human lives. The exceptions to this are personal accident and health
insurance, which are provided by non life insurance companies. Any assets their
gives a monetary return (such as house given on rent), or offers convenience can be
insured. All assets are exposed to various risks: they can be damaged or destroyed
by fire, earthquake, riot, flooding, theft, cyclones etc. non life insurance
companies offer product that cover these risks and compensate the owner should
the assets be damaged by one of them. It is a product from this type of company
that an individual would buy to protect their assets.
Reinsurance companies
We saw in section A2 earlier that insurance is a risks transfer mechanism.
Risk is transferred from those who are unable to bear it to those who can.
However, insurance companies can only take on so much risk. Once that limit is
reached, the insurer itself is exposed to the risk of loss. When this happens insurer
look to transfer some of their risks to someone else to shield themselves from
overexposure. This is where reinsurance companies come into use. A reinsurance
company is an insurer for the insurance company. Reinsurance companies take on
a certain percentage of the risks on the insurance companys book, in return for the
payment of a consideration.

History of insurance
The history of insurance in India is deep rooted. Since the earliest times
insurance has been carried out in some from or other. Insurance in India has
developed over time and has taken ideas from countries England particular.
The history of insurance in India can be divided into three phases as follows:







Phase I - Pre - liberalisation
Phase II - Liberalisation
Phase III - Post - liberalisation
IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 17


Phase I Pre liberalization
1818-1829 First insurance company: in 1818 the oriental life insurance in
Kolkata (then Calcutta) was the first company to start a life
insurance business in India. However, the company failed in 1834.
In 1829 he Madras Equitable had begun transacting life insurance
business in Madras Presidency.
1870 Following the enactment of the British insurance Act 1870, the last
three decades of the 19
th
century saw the creation of the Bombay
mutual (1871), oriental (1874) and empire of India (1897) in the
Bombay residency.
1912 The Indian life assurance Companies act 1912 was the first statuary
measure to regulate life business.
1928 The Indian insurance companies Act 1928 give the government the
power to collect statistical information about both life and non life
business transacted in India by Indian and foreign insurers,
including provident insurance societies.

1938 To protect the interest of the insuring public, the earlier legislation
was consolidated and amended by the insurance Act 1938 which
gave the government effective control over the activities of insurers.
1950 In the 1950s, competition in the insurance business was very high
and there were allegation of unfair trade practices. The government
of India therefore decided to nationalize insurance business.
1957 Formation of the general insurance council (GIC): GIC presents the
collective interests of the non life insurance companies in India.
The council speaks out on issues of common interest participate in
discussion related to policy formation, and Acts as an Advocate for
high standards of customer service in the insurance industry.
1972 The general insurance business (nationalization) Act 1972 (GIBNA)
was passed. The general insurance corporation of Indian (GIC) was
formed in pursuance of section 9(1) of GIBNA. It was in corporate
on 22 nov. 1972 under companies Act. 1956as a private company
limited by shares.

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 18


Phase II Liberalization
The international payment crisis of the 1990s forced the government to we think its
industrial policies and regulations. The government only had enough foreign
currency reserves to finance a few days of imports.
1993 Malhotra committee: In 1993 the government set up a committee
under the chairmanship of R.N.Malhotra, the former governor of
RBI, to make recommendations for the reform of the insurance
sector. In its report in 1994, the committee recommended, among
other things, that the private sector and foreign companies ( but
only through a joint venture with an Indian partner) be permitted to
enter the insurance industry
1999 Formation of IRDA: following the recommendations of the
Malhotra committee report, the insurance regulatory and
development authority (IRDA) was constituted as an Autonomous
body in 1999 to regulate and develop the insurance industry. The
IRDA was incorporated as a statuary body in April 2000

Phase III Post liberalization
As we have seen, following the recommendations of the Malhotra committees, the
insurance sector was opened to private companies. Foreign companies were also
allowed to participate in the Indian insurance market through joint ventures (JVs)
with Indian companies. Under current regulations the foreign partner cant hold
more than 26% stake in the joint venture.

Recent development in the Insurance Industry
By 2010 India was the fifth largest insurance market in the world and it is still
growing rapidly:
Growing importance of
IT
All insurance companies now use information
technology to benefit their business and to improve
convenience for their customers. Today, customers
can pay their premiums and check the status and
other details of their policies companys website.
Updates relating to the receipt of premiums or
changes to their policy or sent to the customer
through mobile SMS.
Bancassurance Many banks have joined with insurance companies to
cross sell insurance products to their customers.
Insurance companies benefit from the wide network
and loyal customers base of banks, and the
contribution that Bancassurance makes to insurance
sells has steadily grown over the last few years. The
banks benefit through being able to provide value
added products to their customers and from the fee
income they received in return from the insurance
companies. Many banks have started their own life
insurance subsidiaries.
Online sells Most of the insurance companies have now started
selling insurance products online. This eliminates
the needs for an intermediary and reduces costs. The
saving can be passed to customers in the firm of
reduced premium.











IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 20
Micro insurance Micro insurance guidelines were issued by the IRDA
in 2005. Micro insurance products provide
insurance protection to people in lower income
groups, such as self help group (SHG)s members,
formers, rickshaw pullers and others against the risks
that they and their assets are exposed to. The
premiums for these products me be as low as Rs. 15
and are collected on a weekly basis. The minimum
life insurance cover specified by the regulator for this
category is rupees 5.000 and the maximum cover that
can be provided is rupees 50.000 people work in
agriculture and allied activities are exposed to the
Hazards of nature so they need protection against
risks like monsoon failure, floods etc. this is where
micro insurance can come to their rescue.


Grievance redressal Whenever any industry is experiencing fast growth
there are bound t be concerns, and the insurance
industry is no different. There has been an increase in
complaints from customers about the settlement their
claims and customer service in general. As we saw
earlier, the IRDA has taken steps to protect the
interest of the policyholders. It has asked insurance
companies to set up internal customer grievance
redressal sells/departments, and an insurance
ombudsman has been established.
The latest initiative from the IRDA is the setting up
of a call centre which an insured can contact to seek
the resolution of a grievance they have against their
insurer. The unhappy customer can either call a toll
free number (155255) or e mail:
complaints@irda.gov.in to register their complaints.

MARKETING MIX IN IDBI Federal Life Insurance Co Ltd
The term insurance marketing refers to the marketing of Insurance services
with the aim to create customer and generate profit through customer
satisfaction. The Insurance Marketing focuses on the formulation of an ideal
mix for Insurance business so that the Insurance organization survives and
thrives in the right perspective.
The marketing mix is the combination of marketing activities that an
organization engages in so as to best meet the needs of its targeted market.
The Insurance business deals in selling services and therefore due weight age
in the formation of marketing mix for the Insurance business is needed.
The marketing mix includes sub-mixes of the 7 Ps of marketing i.e. the
product, its price, place, promotion, people, process & physical attraction.
The above mentioned 7 Ps can be used for marketing of Insurance products,
in the following manner:


IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 35
1) PRODUCT:
A product means what we produce. If we produce goods, it means tangible product
and when we produce or generate services, it means intangible service product. A
product is both what a seller has to sell and a buyer has to buy. Thus, an Insurance
company sells services and therefore services are their product. When a person or
an organization buys an Insurance policy from the insurance company, he not only
buys a policy, but along with it the assistance and advice of the agent, the prestige
of the insurance company and the facilities of claims and compensation. It is
natural that the users expect a reasonable return for their investment and the
insurance companies want to maximize their profitability. Hence, while deciding
the product portfolio or the product-mix, the services or the schemes should be
motivational. IDBI Federal provides many products which cater to the needs of
the Indian customers
2 ) PRICING:

In the insurance business the pricing decisions are concerned with:
i) The premium charged against the policies
ii) Interest charged for defaulting the payment of premium and credit facility, and
iii) Commission charged for underwriting and consultancy activities.
With a view of influencing the target market or prospects the formulation of
pricing strategy becomes significant. In a developing country like India where the
disposable income in the hands of prospects is low, the pricing decision also
governs the transformation of potential policyholders into actual
policyholders. The strategies may be high or low pricing keeping in view the level
or standard of customers or the policyholders. The pricing in insurance is in the
form of premium rates.
The three main factors used for determining the premium rates under a life
insurance plan are mortality, expense and interest. The premium rates are revised if
there are any significant changes in any of these factors.
the average rate of mortality is one of the main considerations. In a country like
South Africa the threat to life is very important as it is played by host of diseases.
IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 36
Expenses: The cost of processing, commission to agents, reinsurance companies
as well as registration are all incorporated into the cost of instalments and premium
sum and forms the integral part of the pricing strategy.
one of the major factors which determine peoples
willingness to invest in insurance. People would not be willing to put their funds to
invest in insurance business if the interest rates provided by the banks or other
financial instruments are much greater than the perceived returns from the
insurance premiums.

3) PLACE:
This component of the marketing mix is related to two important facets
i) Managing the insurance personnel, and
ii) Locating a branch.

The management of agents and insurance personnel is found significant with the
viewpoint of maintaining the norms for offering the services. This is also
to process the services to the end user in such a way that a gap between the
services- promised and services offered is bridged over. In a majority of the service
generating organizations, such a gap is found existent which has been instrumental
in making worse the image problem. The transformation of potential policyholders
to the actual policyholders is a difficult task that depends upon the professional
excellence of the personnel.
The agents and the rural career agents acting as a link, lack professionalism. The
front-line staff and the branch managers also are found not assigning due weight
age to the degeneration process. The insurance personnel if not managed properly
would make all efforts insensitive. Even if the policy makers make provision for
the quality up gradation, the promised services hardly reach to the end users.
It is also essential that they have rural orientation and are well aware of the
lifestyles of the prospects or users. They are required to be given adequate
incentives to show their excellence. While recruiting agents, the branch managers
need to prefer local persons and provide them training and conduct seminars. In
addition to the agents, the front-line staff also needs an intensive training
IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 37
programmed to focus mainly on behavioral management. Another important
dimension to the Place Mix is related to the location of the insurance branches.
While locating branches, the branch manager needs to consider a number
of factors, such as smooth accessibility, availability of infrastructural facilities and
the management of branch offices and premises. In addition it is also significant
to provide safety measures and also factors like office furnishing, civic amenities
and facilities, parking facilities and interior office decoration should be given
proper attention.
Thus the place management of insurance branch offices needs a new vision,
distinct approach and an innovative style. This is essential to make the work place
conducive, attractive and proactive for the generation of efficiency among
employees. The branch managers need professional excellence to make place
decisions productive. IDBI Federal has around thousands and thousands of
insurance agents all over India to manage their regional customers effectively.
Also, IDBI Federal has over 796 branches all over India which help in increasing
their customer base.
4) PEOPLE:
Understanding the customer better allows in designing appropriate products. Being
a service industry which involves a high level of people interaction, it is very
important to use this resource efficiently in order to satisfy customers. Training,
development and strong relationships with intermediaries are the key areas to be
kept under consideration. Training the employees, use of IT for efficiency, both
at the staff and agent level, is one of the important areas to look into. IDBI Federal
has created various financial products which have been tailored according to the
needs of the customers. They have over thousands of sales personnel who are
trained efficiently to bridge in the gap between the customers and the company.




IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 38

5) PROCESS:
The process should be customer friendly in insurance industry. The speed and
accuracy of payment is of great importance. The processing method should be easy
and convenient to the customers. Instalment schemes should be streamlined to
cater to the ever grow.
6) Promotion
The insurance services depend on effective promotional measures. In a country
like India, the rate of illiteracy is very high and the rural economy has dominance
in the national economy. It is essential to have both personal and impersonal
promotion strategies.
In promoting insurance business, the agents and the rural career agents play an
important role. Due attention should be given in selecting the promotional tools for
agents and rural career agents and even for the branch managers and front line
staff. They also have to be given proper training in order to create impulse
buying. Advertising and Publicity, organization of conferences and seminars,
incentive to policyholders are impersonal communication. Arranging Kirtans,
exhibitions, participation in fairs and festivals, rural wall paintings and publicity
drive through the mobile publicity van units would be effective in creating the
impulse buying and the rural prospects would be easily transformed into actual
policyholders.
IDBI Federal has also adopted various promotional strategies like:
Commercial Ads
Print Ads
Events
Personnel selling
Word of mouth
.

required to be expanded and the new schemes and policies for the villagers or the
rural population are to be included. . The introduction of Rural Career Agents
Scheme has been found instrumental in inducing the rural prospects but the process
is at infant stage and requires more professional excellence. So there is lot of
potential in insurance sector which is waiting to be uncorked hence revealing to the
economy the benefits of insurance industry. The policymakers are required to
activate the efforts.

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 45
Research Design and Methods:
The purpose of the research design and methods section is to describe how the

Consider required statistical techniques.
Include proposed work plan and timeline.
Consider and discuss potential limitations and alternative approaches to achieve
study aims.
Methodology used in study:
Sample size:-
The sample size of a survey most typically refers to the number of units that
were chosen from which data were gathered. However, sample size can be defined
in various ways. There is the designated sample size, which is the number of
sample units selected for contact or data collection. There is also the final sample
size, which is the number of completed interviews or units for which data are
actually collected. The final sample size may be much smaller than the designated
sample size if there is considerable non-response, ineligibility, or both. Not all the
units in the designated sample may need to be processed if productivity in
completing interviews is much higher than anticipated to achieve the final sample
size. However, this assumes that units have been activated from the designated
sample in a random fashion. Survey researchers may also be interested in the
sample size.
- Gary M. Shapiro
IDBI federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd. 2014

TARUN. K.SHUKLA Page 46
Effective sample size:-
Complex sample surveys rarely result in a set of independent and identically
distributed observations, because of sample
design features such as stratification,
clustering, and unequal weighting that are
necessary for efficient data collection. Such
features affect the resulting variance of survey
estimates.
It is immediately obvious that there is not a
single effective sample size for any one study,
since the variance for n.
