History of Life Insurance in India
04/08/23

In India, insurance has a deep-rooted history. It finds mention in the writings of Manu (Manusmrithi), Yagnavalkya (Dharmasastra) and Kautilya (Arthasastra).
The writings talk in terms of pooling of resources that could be re-distributed in times of calamities such as fire, floods, epidemics and famine. This was probably a pre-cursor to modern day insurance.

(Love and Lage-Hidalgo, 2000)
Labor cost which is one of the main components of the cost function also influences FDI. Some studies find very little or negative relationship between wages and FDI, Some studies suggest that higher wages do not always discourage FDI in some markets and therefore there is a positive relationship between wages and FDI. As higher labour costs leads to higher productivity which gives better quality goods.
De Mooij and Ederveen (2003)Both international and local economists have great interest on the effects of taxes on FDI. It is an obvious fact that higher taxes dishearten foreign investors. Highlights that the influence of taxes on FDI varies considerably by the type of taxes, amount of FDI activity and the treatment of taxes in the host and parent economies. Multinationals face tax restrictions in both the host and home countries which are another important issue. Different economies have different ways of acknowledging the double taxation issue that complicates the usual influence of taxes on FDI.

SUGGESTIONS

To begin with, India needs to further liberalize investment regulations on insurers to strike a proper balance between insurance solvency and investment flexibility
Furthermore, both the life and non-life insurance sectors would benefit from less invasive regulations
In addition, price structures need to reflect product risk. Obsolete regulations on insurance prices will have to be replaced by risk-differentiated pricing structures
There is huge untapped potential, for example, in the largely undeveloped private pension market. At the moment, less than 11% of the working population in India is eligible for participation in any formal old-age retirement scheme. Private insurers will have a key role to play in serving the large number of informal sector workers.
