Introduction
Insurance Industry
Insurance is a risk redresser primarily used to protect against an uncertain loss. Insurance can
be called as the risk transfer of a damage or loss, from one body to another, for some payment.
Insurance is a protective tool against financial losses arising due to an unexpected event.
Insurance companies collect premiums to provide protection against losses. Insurance is a
contract or legal agreement in between two entities.
A company selling insurance is insurer; the purchasing party of the insurance plan is insured
or policyholder. The insurance premium determines the amount of coverage.
For example, in a life insurance, by paying a premium to the insurance company, the nominee
of insured receives a certain amount as compensation on the death or misshaping of the insured.
Similarly, in car insurance, in case of an accident, the insured person receives the compensation
that depends on the damage. The losses that few suffer are beard by many how are facing the
similar risks by a system.
Life insurance guarantees payment assured (or his nominee) when certain events occur that are
predetermined in the agreement. Payment is only paid when certain conditions are met that are
predefined.
The agreement is valid for payment of the insurance coverage in case of:
In India, insurance has a deep-rooted history. It goes back to the time of the British Empire.
The first insurance company to operate in India was the oriental life insurance company, which
was established in 1818 in Kolkata, the company failed in 1834. The Madras Equitable in 1829
had started insurance business in the province of Madras. Even with the presence of Indian
companies, the foreign insurance companies dominated this era, namely Albert Life Assurance,
Royal Insurance, London Globe Insurance and the Indian companies, were not able to face the
competition of the foreign companies. All the foreign and domestic insurers in India where
brought up for serving the foreign community and the Indians were ignored. However people
like Babu Muttylal Seal changed the dynamic and these companies started insuring Indian
lives.
An ordinance was passed on 19th January 1956 which lead to the nationalization the Indian
Insurance sector, and LIC was set up in the same year. The LIC absorbed 154 Indian and 16
non-Indian insurers, and 75 provident societies, 245 Indian and foreign insurance companies
in all. The LIC had monopoly over the insurance sector until the 90s when private investors
and companies were allowed into the Insurance sector.
Until 1999, there was no private insurance company in Indian insurance sector. In 1993, the
government set up a committee under the leadership of former RBI governor R.N.Malhotra to
propose suggestions for reforming insurance sector. Following the suggestions of Malhotra
committee the government in 1999 constituted the IRDA thereby de-regulating the insurance
sector and allowing private companies in to insurance market. Further, foreign investment was
also allowed with the limit of 26% holding in the companies. In recent years, many private
companies entered in the insurance market. Companies with equal strength started competing
in Indian insurance market. Currently in India, only 2 million people (0.2% of population) are
covered in mediclaim, whereas in countries like USA almost 75% of total population are
covered. With more private players in this sector may change the scenario.

Star ??
Stars operate high market share and are very popular among customers. Young Star is one of
the most popular product of IDBI Federal due to its high yield. It is the primary unit of the
company because it is expected to become cash cows and increase cash flow.
Cash Cows are most profitable units and should be milked to provide rapid benefits. Future
star plan is a cash cow for the company as it generates a considerable amount of profit for the
company.
Dogs hold low market share and provide low return even in growing market condition. Whole
Life plan was a dog for the company and that is why the company has stopped selling the plan,
as it was neither popular nor profitable.
Question marks are hold low market share even in growing market and may sometimes incur
losses but have the potential of becoming star or cash cow. Guaranteed Wealth Plan and Life
advantage Plan have the potential to provide benefit to company but their market share is low.
Working capital management reflects the relationship between short-term assets and liabilities
of the company. The working capital management’s goal is to ensure smooth operation of
company and that it is able to fulfill short-term debt and expenses. Its plays a significant role
in financial management. Every business needs capital to continue its operation. Working
capital can be said to be the blood of the company and working capital management is
necessary to keep the blood pumping and continue the operation of the firm. Proper working
capital management ensures continuous success and it plays an important role in deciding the
company’s financial status.
The crucial needs for which working capital is required can be mentioned as follows:
There are two working capital concepts, gross working capital and net working capital:
Gross working capital refers to investment in current assets of the firm. Current assets
are the assets that can be converted into cash within one accounting period. It helps in
determining the return on investment of the firm.
Gross working capital = Debtors + Stock + Bills Receivables + Cash
Net working capital means by how much current assets exceeds current liabilities. It
helps in determining the firm’s capability to pay its short-term liabilities and
expenses.
Net working capital = current assets – current liability
Nature of working Capital
The main concern of working capital management are the issues that arise in management of
current liabilities and assets and their relation. Current assets are assets that can be converted
into cash in normal course of business or within one accounting period without losing its value
and effecting firm’s operation. Cash, Trade receivables, market securities and inventory are
some of the major current assets.
Current liabilities are those, which have to be paid within one accounting period out of earnings
or current assets. Major current liabilities are trade payable, bank overdraft, and outstanding
expenses. The goal is to manage current assets and liabilities to maintain a certain level of
working capital and if not then the firm may become insolvent.
The current assets should cover the short-term liability to ensure margin of safety. Working
capital management is important to maintain liquidity.It is used for payment of expenses and
wages and purchase of raw material and helps in maintaining solvency, reputation and
creditworthiness.
CHAPTER 2
Literature Review
Dr. Azhagaiah Ramachandran and Mr. Muralidharan Janakiraman (2009) have analyse the
relationship between efficiency of working capital management and EBIT of paper industry in
India. They have used performance index, efficiency index and utilization index to measure
the working capital management efficiency. It was observed that company has performed well
during the period. Industry overall efficiency index was > 1 in three out of 9 years for the study
period. It is also found that there is negative relationship between EBIT and cash conversion
cycle, which means operational EBIT dictates how to manage the company’s working capital.
Mr. Lalit Kumar Joshi and Mr. Sudipta Ghosh (2012) studies the performance of working
capital of the Cipla Ltd of 5 Years data from 2004-05 to 2008-09. Their main objectives were
to examine the trend of some performance indicators, examining working capital performance,
studying liquidity position and examining liquidity and profitability relationship. They have
applied different financial ratios and statistical techniques to working capital performance
measurement. It was observed that performance is satisfactory but the relationship between
liquidity and profitability is negative.
Mr. N. Suresh Babu and Prof. G.V. Chalam (2014) studies the efficiency of Working Capital
Management in Indian Leather Industry. Their objective is to find the relationship between
different conversion cycles with profitability of the company. The different conversion cycles
they have taken is Inventory Conversion Period, Average Collection Period, Average Payment
Period and Cash Conversion Cycle. They have observed through Regression analysis that there
is insignificant positive relationship of inventory conversion duration and significant positive
relationship of average collection period with profitability of company but there is significant
negative relationship of both average payment period and cash conversion cycle.
Mrs. Poonam Gautam Sharma and Ms. Risham Preet Kaur (2016) made a study on Working
Capital Management and how it impacts profitability of Bharti Airtel during period from 2006-
07 to 2014-15. Their main objective is to evaluate the performance of working capital and to
check the profitability and liquidity relationship. With the help of different statistical tools,
they concluded that performance of company is not satisfactory in terms of current ratio and
the relationship between liquidity and profitability of the company is negative.
Minhas Akbar and Ashan Akbar (2016) conducted a study to examine efficiency of working
capital management. Finding of these researches reveals that the firm adopt more ethical
practice in working capital management. The research author have created a concave
relationship between cash conversion cycle and working capital, its square are positively and
negatively related to firm performance respectively
Monika wieczorek-Kosmala, Anna Dos, Joanna Blach, and Maria Gorczynska (2016)
recognized liquidity reserve magnitude and its attributes with regard to the data for 2013, the
majority of the examined companies distinguished with a positive liquidity reserves. About
83% of the selected companies hold the liquidity reserve. It was found that in the examined
company’s sample of financial stability parameters were relevant for the liquidity reserve,
where the changes of assets and capital structure were influential on relevance of liquidity
reserve.
Harsh Pratap Singh studied comprehensive content analysis reveals that most of the research
work is experimental and focuses mainly on two aspects, affect of working capital upon
productivity of firm and working capital practices. Major research work has done that WCM
is necessary for corporate profitability. The major issues with previous literature are lack of
approach that was survey-based and lack of regular theory development study, which opens all
new areas for future research.
Gilbert and Reichert, find that records receivables administration models are utilized as a part
of 59 percent of this organization to enhance working capital tasks. While stock administration
models were utilized as a part of 60% of the organization. All the more as of late. farragher,
kleiman and sahu (1999) find that 55% of firms in the S&P industrial file finish some type of
income evaluation , yet didn’t display bits of knowledge with records receivable and stock
administration ,or the verities of any present resource records or risk accounts crosswise over
commercial ventures.
Weinraub and Visscher (1998), watch an inclination of firms with low levels of current
proportions to additionally have low levels of current liabilities. All the while examining
records receivables and payables issues. Hill, sartorsis and ferguson (1984) discover contrasts
in the way instalment dates are characterized. Payees characterize the date of instalment as the
date of instalment is gotten, while the prayers view instalment as the date of instalment as the
stamp date. Extra WCM understanding crosswise over firms, commercial enterprise and time
can add to this collection of exploration.
Uday Kumar Jagannathan and Jyoti Mahato, examine the working capital management’s
impact on the profitability of the Indian telecom sector. The result of correlation analysis shows
the ROA has a negative relationship with ACP, CCC, ICP and Current ratio while ROA has
positive relationship with APP, Debt ratio and Firm size. Telecom sector is one of the major
sectors in the country. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to provide some useful suggestions
for the individuals responsible for the management of this sector.

CHAPTER 4
Research Methodology
Research methodology is simply the framework that guides the collection, analysis and
interpretation of data. The income statements and the annual report of the company were used
for the study.
For the purpose of the study, necessary information are collected through primary and
secondary sources.
Primary data - The primary data are those, which are fresh and composed for the first time,
and thus happened to be original in character. Primary data comprise the Information composed
from the officials and existing company during discussions.
Secondary data - The secondary data, are those which have already been collected and
approved by someone else though the statistical practice. The secondary data include the
information from the company annual reports, which include financial statement like balance
sheet and income statements. In addition, such other information from textbook of financial
management, journals and glossy magazine have been collected.
Conceptual framework
Keeping in view the nature and scope of the study, formulae of operation cycle, cash and
marketable securities, receivable management, inventory management and financing of
working capital and the banking policy were used. Which seemed to be most suitable. The
study is conducted on the working capital management of IDBI Federal Life Insurance Co.
Ltd. For the last five years 2015-2019 to compare the financial position of the company and to
take decision on the same. Secondary information will be used to gain knowledge about the
company and what had been done before.
CHAPTER 5
Data Analysis
Working capital shows the financial position of the company that helps investors to know the
financial health of the company. However, two terms called gross working capital and net
working capital are generally used.
Working is calculated when we subtract current liabilities from current assets. If it is positive,
it reflects that the company’s financial health is good and can cover its short-term debts by
selling its short-term assets. The data from the financial reports are analyzed to know the
working capital position of the company and the efficiency and effectiveness of the
management policies.

Quick Ratio
Higher quick ratios are favorable for companies because it reflects there are more quick assets
than current liabilities. A company with a quick ratio of one indicates that quick assets equal
current liabilities. This also shows that the company could pay off its current liabilities without
selling any long-term assets. In this case company is not able to cover its current liabilities
through quick assets as quick ratio in the given period i.e. from 2015-2019 is less than one.
While in the case of Star union the company has improved its quick ratio.

Net Sales
The inflow of cash from operating activities have been increasing continuously from 2015 to
2019. This shows that the income from its operations i.e. selling of insurance policies have
increased over the years raising the level of premium received. The company has been able to
control its costs even with increase in sales.

CHAPTER 6
Findings & interpretations
The current assets are increasing which may indicate that the company’s liquid assets are
increasing but it may also be the case that the receivables component is higher in it.
In current liabilities are decreasing, which is a positive sign for the company. This means that
the company is able to discharge its obligations on time, pay off its debts on time.
Net working capital increases, naturally because of an increase in current assets and decrease
in current liabilities. The company has enough funds for meeting its day-to-day requirements.
The current ratio in case of insurance companies should be higher than other businesses, so a
current ratio of 1.5 to 2 is quite favorable.
An alarming thing here is the component of cash and bank in the current assets, which has
decreased in the last year. It means that the liquid assets are not quite available in the company,
which should be there, lest any unforeseen circumstances occur.
The working capital turnover ratio had decreased, again not a positive sign but has started to
get back up and it shows that the company is showing a sign of recovery. It signifies ineffective
utilization of working capital but, then again, a high working capital turnover ratio may also
be a sign of insufficient working capital.
As seen through the comparison of IDBI Federal Life Insurance with another insurance
provider Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance, IDBI Federal is over shadowing its competitors
in few areas but also lags behind in some. The management has to be careful in their decision
making to keep the company competitive and growing.
CHAPTER 7
Summary & conclusion
Working capital is the essence of the continuous growth and survival of any business;
irrespective of the kind of business, any entity is involved in. In the absence of continuous flow
of net working capital, day-to-day working of a company is hampered largely. In order to cope
with the unforeseen and emergency situations also, working capital is a much-required
component of business.
Working capital management involves efficient management of cash, debtors and creditors.
Here, it is seen that the particular company IDBI Federal is able to maintain an adequate amount
of working capital, which even increases every year, but an important and alarming fact to be
considered here is that maybe the working capital has not been used effectively and in an
optimum way. The component of the most liquid asset i.e. cash balance should be increased so
that there is no need to worry about the emergencies that might occur in business.
CHAPTER 8
Limitations
The data collected was just for a period of few years. Hence a clear picture could
have been formed had the analysis been done for more number of years, a much
more transparent analysis could have been done.
Not all assets, which form part of current assets, are so liquid in nature. Therefore,
discrepancies occur if judgement is done based on comparative analysis of these
assets.
Annual reports may vary from the actual performance of the company since a
company may inflate its assets and decrease its liabilities to attract its potential
investors.
Since the analysis is made through secondary sources of information, an absolute
true picture could not be painted. Had it been through any primary source, much
better and more accurate conclusions could have been drawn.

Appendix
The data collected are the financial reports of IDBI Federal over the past 5 years. The data
includes profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement, which will help us
in understanding the concept of working capital.
The data is collected from the official website of IDBI Federal Life Insurance Co. Ltd and
tabularized to provide a comparative overview of the financial positions of the company.
Efficiency Ratio - The efficiency ratios are used to analyze how a company uses its assets
and liabilities internally. An efficiency ratio can be used to calculate
the turnover of receivables, the repayment of liabilities, the quantity and usage of equity, and
the general use of inventory and machinery.
Current Assets: Current Assets are those assets that can be converted into cash or cash
equivalents within one year or in the operating cycle of the assets, whichever is longer. The
main components of current assets are:
Current Liabilities: Current Liabilities are those obligations, which are to be paid off
within one year, or they are short-term obligations.
Average collection period is the time duration it takes for the company to recover from its
debtors or customers for outstanding payments.
Average payment period is the number of days a company takes to pay off its creditors.
Average Payment Period = (Account Payables/Cost of Sales)*365
Days Working capital: It describes the duration it takes for a company to convert its working
capital into revenue. The more days working capital, the more time is required to convert
working capital into sales. The days working capital is an indicator of efficiency of the
company.
Current Ratio- The current ratio is a liquidity and efficiency ratio that measures a firm's
ability to pay off its short-term liabilities with its current assets. The current ratio is an
important measure of liquidity because short-term liabilities are to be paid within the next year.
This means that the company has a limited amount of time in order to raise the funds to pay
for these liabilities.
Quick Ratio- The quick ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures the company’s ability to pay its
short-term liabilities with only quick assets when they come due. Quick assets are current assets
that can be converted to cash within 90 days or in the short-term.
The working capital turnover ratio measures how well a company is able utilize its working
capital for supporting a given level of sales. Because working capital is current assets less
current liabilities, a high turnover ratio shows that management is being efficient in using a
company’s current assets and liabilities for supporting sales. In contrast, a low ratio shows a
business is investing in too many accounts receivable (AR) and inventory assets for supporting
its sales. This may lead to a large amount of bad debts and obsolete inventory.
Current Assets Turnover Ratio- The Current Asset turnover ratio is an efficiency ratio that
measures a company’s capability to comparing net sales with current assets for generating
sales. In other words, this ratio shows how efficiently a company can use its current assets to
generate sales
Total Assets Turnover Ratio- The asset turnover ratio is an efficiency ratio that measures a
company's capability to compare net sales with average total assets generate sales from its
assets. In other words, this ratio shows how efficiently a company can use its assets to
generate sales. The total asset turnover ratio calculates net sales as a percentage of assets to
show how many sales are generated from each rupee of company assets.
Cash flow statement provides information about the inflow and outflow of cash of an enterprise
for a given period. It provides useful information that effects the profit and loss account and
balance sheet of a company. A cash flow statement is a statement which provides a in depth
rationalization for the change in a firm‘s cash balance during a particular duration by indicating
the firm‘s income sources and uses of cash during that duration. Cash flow statement is the
cash flow during the accounting period from-
Operating activities
Investing activities
Financing activities.
(A) Cash Flow from Operating Activities: Cash generated by production and sales of
business is considered as cash flow from operating activities. It relatively denotes flow of
cash from operating activities weather income or expense source. E.g., cash from operation is
the revenue net of expenses.
(B) Cash Flow from Financing Activities: This section of Cash flow statement shows
cash generated from activities to finance the business. E.g., cash receipt on issue of equity
shares or debentures etc. and cash paid to stakeholders. Dividend to equity shares or interest
on debenture etc.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities: Cash invested in long term assets e.g. purchase of
machinery and other long term assets as well as other current assets such as purchase of
equity shares of other company etc. and cash receipts from such investing activities e.g.
dividend received, interest received sales of machinery and scrap etc
