EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In todays corporate and competitive world, I find that insurance sector has the
maximum growth and potential as compared to the other sectors. Insurance has
the maximum growth rate of 70-80% while as FMCG sector has maximum 12-
15% of growth rate. This growth potential attracts me to enter in this sector and
MET LIFE INDIA INSURANCE CO. LTD. has given me the opportunity to
work and get experience in highly competitive and enhancing sector.
The success story of good market share of different organizations depends
upon the availability of the product and services near to the customer,
which can be distributed through a distribution channel. In Insurance
sector, distribution channel includes only agents or agency holders of the
company. If a company like MET LIFE INDIA INSURANCE CO. LTD,
MAX NEW YORK LIFE, BAJAJ ALLIANZ, TATA AIG, etc has
adequate agents in the market they can capture big market as compared to
the other companies.
Agents are the best way for a company of Insurance sector through which
policies and benefits of the company can be explained to the customer.

THE HISTORY OF INDIAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY
The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same
instinct that prompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves againstloss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil
consequences of fire and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some
sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of insurance is
largely a development of the recent past, particularly after the industrial era
past few centuries yet its beginnings date back almost 6000 years.
Life Insurance
In 1818 the British established the first insurance company in India in Calcutta,
the Oriental Life Insurance Company. First attempts at regulation of the industry
were made with the introduction of the Indian Life Assurance Companies Act in
1912. A number of amendments to this Act were made until the Insurance Act
was drawn up in 1938. Noteworthy features in the Act were the power given to
the Government to collect statistical information about the insured and the high
level of protection the Act gave to the public through regulation and control.
When the Act was changed in 1950, this meant far reaching changes in the
industry. The extra requirements included a statutory requirement of a certain
level of equity capital, a ceiling on share holdings in such companies to prevent
dominant control (to protect the public from any adversarial policies from one
single party), stricter control on investments and, generally, much tighter
control. In 1956, the market contained 154 Indian and 16 foreign life insurance
companies. Business was heavily concentrated in urban areas and targeted the
higher echelons of society. Unethical practices adopted by some of the players
against the interests of the consumers then led the Indian government to
nationalize the industry. In September 1956, nationalization was completed,
merging all these companies into the so-called Life Insurance Corporation
(LIC). It was felt that nationalization has lent the industry fairness, solidity,
growth and reach.

The General insurance business in India started with the establishment ofTriton
Insurance Company Limited in 1850 at Calcutta. In 1907, the first company,
The Mercantile Insurance Ltd. was set up to transact all classes of general
insurance business. General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance
Association of India in 1957, framed a code of conduct for ensuring fair conduct
and sound business practices. In 1968 the Insurance Act was amended to
regulate investments and to set minimum solvency margins. In the same year
the Tariff Advisory Committee was also set up. In 1972, The General
Insurance Business (Nationalization) Actwas passed to nationalize the generalinsurance business in India with effect from 1st January 1973. For these 107

MAJOR POLICY CHANGES
Insurance sector has been opened up for competition from Indian private
insurance companies with the enactment of Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority Act, 1999 (IRDA Act). As per the provisions of IRDA
Act, 1999, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) was
established on 19th April 2000 to protect the interests of holder of insurance
policy and to regulate, promote and ensure orderly growth of the insurance
industry. IRDA Act 1999 paved the way for the entry of private players into the
insurance market which was hitherto the exclusive privilege of public sector
insurance companies/ corporations. Under the new dispensation Indian
insurance companies in private sector were permitted to operate in India with
the following conditions:
Company is formed and registered under the Companies Act, 1956;
The aggregate holdings of equity shares by a foreign company, either by itself
or through its subsidiary companies or its nominees, do not exceed 26%, paid up
equity capital of such Indian insurance company;
The company's sole purpose is to carry on life insurance business or general
insurance business or reinsurance business.
The minimum paid up equity capital for life or general insurance business is
Rs.100crores.
The minimum paid up equity capital for carrying on reinsurance business has
been prescribed as Rs.200crores.
The Authority has notified 27 Regulations on various issues which include
Registration of Insurers, Regulation on insurance agents, Solvency Margin, Re-
insurance, Obligation of Insurers to Rural and Social sector, Investment and
Accounting Procedure, Protection of policy holders' interest etc. Applications
were invited by the Authority with effect from 15th August, 2000 for issue of
the Certificate of Registration to both life and non-life insurers. The Authority
has its Head Quarter at Hyderabad.

Life insurance is also now being regarded as a versatile financial
planning tool. Apart from the traditional term and saving insurance policies,
industry has seen the entry and growth of unit linked products. This provides
market linked returns and is among the most flexible policies available today for
investment. Now products are priced, flexible, and realistic and sustain so
people in better position to understand the risk and benefits of the product and
they are accepting these innovative products.
So it is clear that the face of life insurance in India is changing,
but with the changes come a host of challenges and it is only the credible
players with a long term vision and a robust business strategy that will survive.
Whatever the developments, the future and the opportunities in this industry will
surely be exciting.
Various types of life insurance policies:-
Endowment policies: This type of policy covers risk for a specified
period, and at the end of the maturity sum assured is paid back to
policyholder with the bonuses during the term of the policy.
Money back policies: This type of policy is for periodic payments of
partial survival benefits during the term of the policy as long as the policy
holder is alive.
Group insurance: This type of insurance offers life insurance protection
under group policies to various groups such as employers-employees,
professionals, co-operatives etc it also provides insurance coverage for
people in certain approved occupations at the lowest possible premium
cost.
Term life insurance policies: This type of insurance covers risk only
during the selected term period. If the policy holder survives the term,
risk cover comes to an end. These types of policies are for those people
who are unable to pay larger premium required for endowment and whole
life policies. No surrender, loan or paid up values are in such policies.
Whole life insurance policies: This type of policy runs as long as the
policyholder is alive and is covered for the entire life of the policyholder.
In this policy the insured amount and the bonus is payable only to
nominee on the death of policy holder.

Joint life insurance policies: These policies are similar to endowment
policies in maturity benefits and risk cover, but joint life policies cover
two lives simultaneously such as married couples. Sum assured is payable
on the first death and again on the death of survival during the term of the
policy.
Pension plan: a pension plan or annuity is an investment over a certain
number of years but does not provide any life insurance cover. It offers a
guaranteed income either for a life or certain period.
Unit linked insurance plan: ULIP is a kind of insurance plan which
provides life cover as well as return on premium paid over a certain
period of time. The investment is denoted as units and represented by the
value called as net asset value (NAV).

-

2. The entrance of private players will increase the
competition and it would be a tough task to secure a good
position in market.
3. Since Met Life India Insurance is leading with several
companies policies it should be easy for them to penetrate
into the market and secure a good position if they pay greater
attention to the service part provided to their customer and
thereby forming a long and trusted relationship.
4. As seen from the survey that at present 70% of the customer
are having insurance policy out of which 87.5% of the
customer are planning for new investments. So it can be a
good potential for the company and they should make an
attempt to trap these customers.
5. As 43% of the customers are even ready to go for insurance
if a service provider away from their city is providing it. But
in turn they should provide good products and services. The
company should try to convince these customers and get them
in its favor.

CONCLUSION
The exhaustive research in the field of Life Insurance threw
up some interesting trends which can be seen in the above
analysis. A general impression that I gathered during Data
collection was the immense awareness and knowledge among
people about various companies and their insurance products.
People are beginning to look beyond LIC for their insurance
needs and are willing to trust private players with their hard
earned money.
People in general have been impressed by the marketing and
advertising campaigns of insurance companies. A high
penetration of print, radio and Television Ad campaigns over
the years is beginning to have its impact now.
Another heartening trend was in terms of people viewing
insurance as a tax saving and investment instrument as much
as a protective one. A very high number of respondents have
opted for insurance for such purposes and it shows how
insurance companies have been successful to attract public
money in recent times.

75/81
The general satisfaction levels among public with regards to
policy and agents still requires improvement. But therein lies
the opportunity for a relative player like MetLife India
Insurance Co. Ltd. LIC has never been known for prompt
service or customer oriented methods and MetLife India
Insurance Co. can build on these factors.
