INTRODUCTION
Security has been a universal desire right from earliest civilizations. This quest for security hasled to the concept of insurance. Insurance is a contract between two parties whereby oneparty called insurer undertakes, in exchange of a fixed sum called premium to pay theother party an assured sum of money on occurrence of a certain event. Life insuranceprotects against the economic loss in the event of death. A family is generally dependent for itsfood, clothing and shelter on the income brought by the bread earner of the family. So long aslives, that family is secure but the death of the person may put the family in a very difficultsituation. Uncertainty of death is inherent in human life. It is this uncertainty that gives rise tonecessity for some form of protection against the financial loss arising from death. Lifeinsurance substitutes this uncertainty by certainty. Insurance sector plays a very important rolein the development of any economy also, as it provides long term fund for infrastructuredevelopment and at the same time strengthens the risk taking ability.
An insurer, or insurance carrier, is a company selling the insurance; the insured or policy holder,is the person or entity buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to be charged for acertain amount of insurance coverage is called the premium.
Every asset has a fixed time period in which only they can be productive. After end of their fixedage they will get expire and they will not be productive. The owner of the asset knows about thatthing and therefore he arranges things by which he can earn after expiry of his current asset.But there are chances that the assets can expire before their respective age. This can happen
by accident or by any natural calamity. If assets expire before their life end time then it caninversely effect their owner and other persons also who are beneficiaries of this asset.
Insurance is such a system by which the bad results of such type of accidents and naturalcalamities can be reduced. Insurance is not securing the assets and also it cannot stop any kindof accident or natural calamity. It can only reduce the burden on their owner and otherbeneficiaries.

Executive Summary:
The insurance is primarily a social device adopted by civilized society for mitigating the
incidence of loss of income to families by unforeseen contingencies. Uncertainties haveencouraged many corporate to go for the insurance. The part of SBI Life dealing with the
insurance of corporate is Corporate Solution Group. SBI Life tries to educate people from
corporate about the benefits of individual; insurance policies designed specially for company

Concepts /Models introduced in the study:
Multi-Distribution Model
SBI Life has a unique multi-distribution model encompassing vibrant Bancassurance, Retail
Agency, Institutional Alliance and Corporate Solutions distribution channels.
SBI Life extensively leverages the State Bank Group relationship as a platform for cross-selling
insurance products along with its numerous banking product packages such as housing loans
and personal loans. SBIs access to over 100 million accounts across the country provid es a
vibrant base for insurance penetration across every region and economic strata in the country,
thus ensuring true financial inclusion. Agency Channel, comprising of the most productive force
of over 80,000 Insurance Advisors, offers door to door insurance solutions to customers.
Models / Concepts:
1. Term Assurance Policy - The term assurance policy offers payment only on deathwithin the term. There is nothing available on maturity. This is ideal for family protection,especially for a young man. The premium is very low as only risk premium is collectedand no savings element. Any breadwinner, on whom a family is dependent, can opt forthis policy.
2. Pure Endowment - This policy offers payment only on survival, nothing on death. Thistakes care of retirement income only and not family protection. This caters to the needsof single person who has no dependents. Since such people are extremely rare, thispolicy is mostly available in combination.
3. Endowment Assurance The endowment policy is very popular in India. Theendowment policy is a combination of Term Assurance and Pure Endowment. It thustakes care of family protection and retirement income, the twin needs of life insurance.
4. Whole Life Policy The Whole Life Policy is basically a Term Assurance Policy. Thedifference is that, in a term assurance policy, payment is made on death within the term.In a whole life policy, payment is made on death, whenever it may occur. The whole lifepolicy is term assurance policy with an indefinite term. As there is a definite payment, thewhole life policy is costlier than a term assurance policy.

5. Money Back Policy Under the money back policy, the entire maturity proceeds arenot paid at the end. They are paid at the intervals of 4 or 5 years throughout the term.The periodical payments come in handy for some major expense or the other. Thoughsome installments are released to the policyholders, the risk cover remainsundiminished.
6. Annuities Annuities are not a plan of life insurance. Annuity is the reverse of lifeinsurance. In a life insurance policy, the life insurance company is at risk. In an annuitythe annuitant takes the risk. Annuities are pension plans. Before or after retirement, aperson can pay and purchase a pension plan. The pension is paid according to theterms of the annuity.
7. Keyman Insurance- Life insurance was originally meant to protect the family from theloss on account of the death of the breadwinner. But a man is useful not only to hisfamily but his employer as well. This has led to the rise of Keyman insurance. Keymanis a life insurance policy taken by a company on the life of an important employee ordirector who contributed in a major way to the continuance and growth of the company.
8. Unit Linked Policy Unit Linked plans are a way to invest in the market while availing
the features of the insurance policy. In these plans the savings, portion of the amount
paid by the unit-holders is invested by the insurer as desired by the unit-holders. In other
words, the investment risk under linked plans are borne by the insured themselves,and not by the insurer as in the case of other plans of insurance

Description of Industry and Organization:
Introduction to Insurance:
When life insurance companies started operating in the middle of 20th century in the country,the evil play natural to all business had its sway. There was a lot of cut throat competition aswell as profiteering. As a result Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) came into existence on1st September, 1956 after nationalization of all the 245 companies engaged in life insurancebusiness. However, Government made a paradigm shift in the economic policy by adopting theprocess of liberalization, privatization and globalization at the end of previous decade.Consequently, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has been establishedunder IRDA Act, 1999 to regulate the insurance business in the country. As a result, privatesector has been allowed entry both in general and life insurance sector in India. Life insuranceindustry expanded tremendously from 2000 onwards in terms of number of offices, number of
agents, new business policies, premium income etc. Further, many new products (like ULIPs,pension plans etc.) and riders were provided by the life insurers to suit the requirements ofvarious customers.The insurance is primarily a social device adopted by civilized society for mitigating theincidence of loss of income to families by unforeseen contingencies. In India, when lifeinsurance companies started operating in the middle of 20th century the evil play natural to allbusiness had its sway. There was a lot of cut throat competition as well as profiteering. Theavowed social objective of insurance had been totally relegated to background. As a result LifeInsurance Corporation of India (LIC) came into existence on 1st September, 1956 afternationalization of all the 245 companies engaged in life insurance business. From its veryinception, the Corporation has made impressive growth always striving for further improvement.However, Government made a paradigm shift in the economic policy by adopting the process of
liberalization, privatization and globalization at the end of previous decade. Consequently acommittee was set up under the chairmanship of Mr. Malholtra, Ex-governor of RBI forundertaking various reforms in the insurance sector in the light of new economic policy. TheCommittee which submitted his report in 1993 recommended the establishment of a specialregulatory agency along the lines of SEBI and opening of insurance industry for private sector.This was aggressively opposed by the various trade unions of then operating insurancecompanies which led to some delay in implementation of Malhotra Committeesrecommendations. However, the Government passed Insurance Regulatory and Development
Authority (IRDA) Act in 1999 and established IRDA to regulate the insurance business in thecountry. As a result, private sector was allowed entry both in general and life insurance sector inIndia. IRDA also allowed foreign participation up to 26 per cent in equity shareholding of privatecompanies.

Theobjective was to compliment the reforms initiated in the financial sector. The committeesubmitted its report in 1994 wherein, among other things it recommended that the private sectorbe permitted to enter the insurance sector. They stated that foreign companies be allowed to
enter by floating companies, preferably a joint venture with Indian partners.
Following the recommendation of the Malhotra committee report in 1999, the InsuranceRegulatory and Development Authority was constituted as an autonomous body to regulate anddevelop the insurance industry.

Types of Insurance:
Life Insurance - Life insurance (or commonly Life assurance, especially in the Commonwealth)is a contract between an insured (insurance policy holder) and an insurer or assurer, where theinsurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money (the "benefits") upon thedeath of the insured person. Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness orcritical illness may also trigger payment. The policy holder typically pays a premium, eitherregularly or as a lump sum. Other expenses (such as funeral expenses) are also sometimesincluded in the benefits.
Life policies are legal contracts and the terms of the contract describe the limitations of theinsured events. Specific exclusions are often written into the contract to limit the liability of theinsurer; common examples are claims relating to suicide, fraud, war, riot and civil commotion.
General Insurance - General insurance or non-life insurance policies, including automobile andhomeowners policies, provide payments depending on the loss from a particular financial event.General insurance typically comprises any insurance that is not determined to be life insurance.It is called property and casualty insurance in the U.S. and Canada and Non-Life Insurance inContinental Europe.

Underwriting
A discipline that evaluates the risk associated with insuring a particular person or asset and
uses that evaluation to set the premium pricing is Underwriting. Insurance underwriting helps in
pricing life insurance, health insurance, property/casualty insurance and homeowners
insurance. Underwriters use the computer applications and actuarial data to determine the term
of the policy payment. High risk individuals have to pay more premiums to pay than low risk
individual.
Concept of Financial Underwriting:
Financial Underwriting is based on the concept that the life of the individual or the asset should
be insured from any unfortunate event. To fulfill this, the company first needs to evaluate the
value of the life of an individual or the asset. Conceptually the sum assured should be less thanthe value of the life insured. If the sum assured is more than the life insured than a person might
intentionally harm the asset or the individual to get the benefit.
Need for Financial Underwriting:
The role of the underwriter is to insure that the sum assured applied for is justified and based on
potential economic loss. It helps the insurer monitor and control risks, protect the portfolio and
optimize the results of the insurance activity. An underwriter should judge the intension of the
proposer and should be aware of the moral hazard of the proposer. If the proposal is made
with an intention to seek undue advantage from the policy, then there is some moral hazard.
One of the indicators of the moral hazard is the size of the proposal as compared to the income.
Financial Underwriting Types:
1) Personal Insurance - Personal Insurance replaces lost earnings caused by premature
death. This includes special needs such as mortgage life insurance and college funds.
Multiples of income is usually used to justify personal insurance amounts; most
individuals do not have as much insurance as they could qualify for, so amounts in
excess of the tables should be analyzed carefully to be sure they are justified.
2) Keyman Insurance An employee is called the key employee of an organization if
he/she has a significant role in the operation of the company. The value of a key
employee must be evaluated based on the skills, contacts or knowledge.
Medical Underwriting is health insurance which evaluated the health of the life insured and
based on that it suggests the coverage package. Medical underwriting uses the health report of
the life insured to decide 2 things, whether to provide the insurance or not and what premium
rate to be fixed for the plan. Cost of the insurance is determined using the mortality tables
prepared by the actuaries. 3 main factors which are considered in the mortality tables are age,

gender and use of tobacco. Underwriting practice varies from insurer to insurer, encouraging
competition.
Actuarial Science:
Actuarial Science is a discipline to access the risk associated with the insurance and finance
sector by applying mathematical and statistical methods. Actuaries are professional who are
qualified in this field by education and experience. Actuarial Science includes many interrelated
subjects like mathematics, probability, statistics, finance, economics, computer programming
etc. Initially Actuarial Science included only calculation of Premiums and Tables. Now the
discipline has vast scope and is used for various other purposes.
Actuarial Science became more critical in the late 17th century when the demand for long term
insurance became more popular, insurance coverage like burial, life insurance and annuities.Theses long term coverage requires that money should be kept aside for future uncertainties. In
case of long term insurance or annuities these saved money could be used. So it was
necessary to ascertain the amount to be kept and the amount to invest. This led to the
emergence of Present Value of a future sum. Certain aspects of Actuarial Science are as
follows:
In traditional life insurance the discipline, actuarial science concentrates on the analysis of the
mortality, the production of tables and application of compound interest for the production of life
insurance, endowment policies and annuities. Life insurance programs have been further
extended to include facilities like credit and mortgage insurance, long term care insurance, key
man insurance for small businesses and health savings accounts.
In health care insurance, including employer-employee schemes and social science, actuarial
science look out for mortality rate, disability rate, morbidity rate, fertility rate and other
contingencies. Actuarial Science also helps in developing benefit structures, reimbursement
standard and proposed government standards effect on the cost of health care.
In pension industry, actuarial science helps in designing the pension plans and determining the
cost of alternate strategies. The strategies are greatly influenced by short term and long term
bond rates; status of the person and benefit arrangements; short and long term financial and
economic trends. Benefit plans liabilities should be properly valued reflecting both the benefits
for past and future services.
Actuarial Science is also used in determining all kinds of benefits like survival benefits, death
benefits and total and permanent disability benefits. It helps in program financing and performs
demographic research on social insurance.

Methodology:
The first part of my project is to determine the product which fits the profile of the MCG clients of
SBI Life. The project is also about knowing the need of the MCG clients.
Process:
Research is mostly based on primary data collected from the clients. Secondary data has also
been used during the research process. Research was done through questionnaire and
personally interacting with the clients.
The test unit for the research was clear and so the research was done through the exploratory
research.

was decided on the basis of convenient sampling. Sample size for the research is 20.
Data Source:
Primary data was collected with the help of questionnaire and personally interacting with the
clients.

Interpretation:
From the chart it is clear that most of the employees are of the age 25-40. So these employees
can take risk and hence ULIP products will be best fit for such employees. Products like Smart
Performer or Smart Wealth Assure will be good. For the employees above 40 years, products
with more security and also having the features of ULIP, should be given.

Interpretation:
As can be seen from the chart that the salary of most of the employees are below 2
lakhs. This is because all the companies were mid sized and employees were not paid
much. So policies with fewer premiums could be of more attraction.

Account Analysis:
Keyman Insurance Importance of Keyman Insurance needs to be told properly to the
deciding executive of a company. Keyman Insurance is not very popular among the associates
of the companies. As it is a term plan so the companies think that it is waste of money. It needs
to be made clear that this is a very good tool to retain their employees.
Employer-Employee Employer Employee scheme is known by most of the companies and it
is more popular than Keyman Insurance. It is also seen as a risk mitigation scheme.

SB RATINGS MOVEMENTS
The bank was not willing to share the details regarding ratings of their MCG clients due to
privacy concerns and so SB ratings movement could not be obtained.
Conclusion:
Analysis shows that Lucrative returns, and Past records are important factors for
considering an insurance policy for a company.
It can be noted that to promote and sell an insurance policy the factors which are very
important are long term benefits and flexibility in policy features.
The data shows that awareness about Keyman insurance is there among the employeesof the companies but the reach of SBI Life to these companies is very limited.
Graphs also suggest that the workforce in these companies is young and hence there is
a possibility of promoting ULIP plans in these companies.
Employee Retention and Employee Attraction, such features can also be promoted
and should be communicated well so that it helps in getting engaged with these
companies. These features will help the companies understand the product fitment of
Keyman and Employer-Employee policy.
Recommendation:
There is a vast opportunity in the field of keyman insurance and employer-employee
scheme and SBI Life should explore and get associated with these companies.
As the workforces in these companies are young therefore there is a good scope for
ULIP products. ULIP plans like Smart Performer should be promoted in these
companies. Endowment plans with good returns like Smart Income Protect can also be promoted.

Limitations of the study:
1. An exhaustive analysis could not be done due to unwillingness of some clients to
disclose their secret data and strategies.
2. Possibility of error in data collection.
3. Possibility of error in analysis of data due to small sample size.
4. Time limitation due to busy schedule of the clients.
Scope for future Improvements:
The data shows that the awareness about Keyman Insurance, Employer employee
Insurance and Pension Plans is good. Therefore there is a good scope and a more
focused approach is needed on SBI Lifes part in order to have a greater market share in
these schemes.
I also found out that most of the employers are reluctant to take Keyman Insurance for
their valuable employees because of its pure term nature therefore they should be
convinced that Keyman policies are basically risk mitigation tool.
The main products which have been contributing in the business of CSG in this region
are Smart Elite, Smart Performer, Shubh Nivesh, Smart Shield and Smart Income
protect. So these individual schemes should be promoted in the corporate sector.
