How long Business Standard will publish the news as it is. Insurance sector has shownlot of promises in the past but not achieved as well. It is not enough for a paper like BSto be just a mirror but give readers an X-Ray view about point/counter points. InsuranceIndustry is struggling with lot of issues like high level attrition, churning of policies,unknown policy languages etc. If at all it has to grow, it has to be because of inflationrate, wherein the premium will automatically grow due to inflation. Withouth growingIIP, without innovative life products, without healthcare insurance, insurance sector will

remain only as paper tigers and media will be just printing it.24-09-2013 18:11:13 | Reply

More Insurance Advisors are concentrating on the existing products to outsell oreducate the customer but also intend that they cover the maximum lives in each andevery famiy. Still there are a lot of educated youth who do not understand the meaning

of saving and investment in life insurance as they are not compeled by their parentswho are the guiding force today to the youth of India.
