ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

INTRODUCTION:
“Man Proposes & God Disposes”
This statement is self-explanatory that man has no control on its life and results of its human
activities. It means that there is always uncertainty of the results of human activity. From the
moment of birth, till the end of life, all material possessions are also continually exposed to
uncertainty. So, we can say that-
“Uncertainty is the fundamental fact of life”
This uncertainty leads to fear of risk in our life. Fear of risk can be satisfied by taking all
precautions to avoid risk. In spite of all precautions, accident occurs. So, only these
precautions are not sufficient to avoid the consequences of uncertainty, but it requires more
effective technique to deal with the problem of risk in our society. We can deal with the risk
in various ways but insurance is one of the best techniques to deal with the risk.

MEANING OF INSURANCE
Insurance is a cover used or protecting oneself from the risk of a financial loss. It is important
to understand that risk is a part of any person’s life and that it increases as a person increases
in age, responsibility and wealth. Insurance is risk coverage against financial losses and
should not be taken as an investment instrument. There are mainly two parties involved in
this- the insurer and the insured. The insurer is the insurance company who will provide the
cover to the insured against any financial losses. The insured may be an individual person or
a group of people like an employer, members of a society, etc.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
a) The report gives the brief background of the sector & proceeds to highlight the short
comings of the existing set-ups & Players
b) The benefits of liberalized sector are enumerated
c) The report also tries to identify the market potential for insurance products & the
strategy that can be employed to exploit the same.
d) The stress is also given on knowing the awareness level of general public.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY:
To conduct the market research first of all it is necessary to create a Project design.
A project design is basically a blue print of how project is to be constructed, it may include;
 Choosing the approach
 Determining the types of data needed
 Locating the source of data
 Choosing the method of data

Page 6 of 47
ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

PROJECT DESIGN:
Basically there are 3 types of approaches to design a better project:
1. Exploratory
2. Descriptive
3. Experimental
During this project, I have considered the Descriptive & Exploratory approaches because
of the availability of relevant information to describe the relation between the marketing
problem & the available information.
For the project two types of data is used;
a. Primary source of data:
First-hand information, data, reviews & opinions from the survey through college
students, professors & neighbouring people
b. Secondary source of data:
Data, information which is already exists in collected from published sources. The
secondary data is collected through following sources;
i). Newspapers & magazines
ii). Insurance posts by LIC
iii). Websites (Internet)

CLASSIFICATION OF INSURANCE:
 Life Insurance
 Non-Life Insurance- Property Insurance, Casualty Insurance, Health Insurance Life
Insurance:
Life Insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured (or his
nominee) on the happening of the event insured against. The contract is valid for payment of
the insured amount during:
 The date of maturity, or
 Specified dates at periodic intervals, or
 Unfortunate death, if it occurs earlier

WHAT IS LIFE INSURANCE?


Life insurance may be defined as a contract in which the insurer in consideration of a certain
premium either in lump sum or other periodical payments, agrees to pay to the assured or to
the person for whose benefits the policy is taken, a stated sum of money on the happening of
a particular event contingent on the duration of human life. Thus, under a whole-life
assurance, the policy is payable at of the assured and under an endowment policy, the money
is payable on the assureds’ surviving a stated period of years.
MEANING OF LIFE INSURANCE:-
According to sec (2) (11) of the Insurance Act, Life insurance business means “The business
effecting contracts upon human life”. It includes:-
a) Any contracts whereby the payment of money is assured upon death (except death by
accident only) or the happening of any contingency dependent on human life.
b) Any contract which is subject to the payment of premium for a term dependent on
human life.
c) Any contract which include the granting of disability and double or triple indemnity,
accident benefits, the granting of annuities upon human life, and the granting of
super-annulation allowances.

TYPES OF LIFE INSURANCE

Life insurance may be divided into two basic classes – temporary and permanent or following
subclasses – term, universal, whole life and endowment life insurance.

 Term Insurance
Term assurance provides life insurance coverage for a specified term of years in exchange for
a specified premium. The policy does not accumulate cash value. Term is generally
considered "pure" insurance, where the premium buys protection in the event of death and
nothing else.
 There are three key factors to be considered in term insurance:
 Face amount (protection or death benefit),
 Premium to be paid (cost to the insured),
 Length of coverage (term).
Various insurance companies sell term insurance with many different combinations of
these three parameters. The face amount can remain constant or decline. The term can be for
one or more years. The premium can remain level or increase. Common types of term
insurance include Level, Annual Renewable and Mortgage insurance."
Level Term policy has the premium fixed for a period of time longer than a year.
These terms are commonly 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and even 35 years. Level term is often used
for long term planning and asset management because premiums remain consistent year to
year and can be budgeted long term. At the end of the term, some policies contain a renewal
or conversion option. Guaranteed Renewal, the insurance company guarantees it will issue a
policy of equal or lesser amount without regard to the insurability of the insured and with a
premium set for the insured's age at that time. Annual renewable term is a one year policy but
the insurance company guarantees it will issue a policy of equal or lesser amount without
regard to the insurability of the insured and with a premium set for the insured's age at that
time.
Another common type of term insurance is mortgage insurance, which is usually a
level premium, declining face value policy. The face amount is intended to equal the amount
of the mortgage on the policy owner’s residence so the mortgage will be paid if the insured
dies.
A policy holder insures his life for a specified term. If he dies before that specified
term is up (with the exception of suicide see below), his estate or named beneficiary receives
a payout. If he does not die before the term is up, he receives nothing. However, in some
European countries (notably Serbia), insurance policy is such that the policy holder receives
Page 10 of 47
ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

the amount he has insured himself to, or the amount he has paid to the insurance company in
the past years.
 Permanent Life Insurance
Permanent life insurance is life insurance that remains in force (in-line) until the
policy matures (pays out), unless the owner fails to pay the premium when due (the policy
expires OR policies lapse). The policy cannot be canceled by the insurer for any reason
except fraud in the application, and that cancellation must occur within a period of time
defined by law (usually two years). Permanent insurance builds a cash value that reduces the
amount at risk to the insurance company and thus the insurance expense over time. This
means that a policy with a million dollar face value can be relatively expensive to a 70 year
old. The owner can access the money in the cash value by withdrawing money, borrowing the
cash value, or surrendering the policy and receiving the surrender value.
 Whole life coverage:
Whole life insurance provides for a level premium, and a cash value table included in
the policy guaranteed by the company. The primary advantages of whole life are guaranteed
death benefits; guaranteed cash values, fixed and known annual premiums, and mortality and
expense charges will not reduce the cash value shown in the policy. The primary
disadvantages of whole life are premium inflexibility, and the internal rate of return in the
policy may not be competitive with other savings alternatives. The death benefit can also be
increased through the use of policy dividends. Dividends cannot be guaranteed and may be
higher or lower than historical rates over time. Premiums are much higher than term
insurance in the short term, but cumulative premiums are roughly equal if policies are kept in
force until average life expectancy.
Cash value can be accessed at any time through policy "loans" and are received
"income-tax free". Since these loans decrease the death benefit if not paid back, payback is
optional. Cash values support the death benefit so only the death benefit is paid out.
Dividends can be utilized in many ways. First, if Paid up additions is elected, dividend
cash values will purchase additional death benefit which will increase the death benefit of the
policy to the named beneficiary. Another alternative is to opt in for 'reduced premiums' on
some policies. This reduces the owed premiums by the unguaranteed dividends amount. A
third option allows the owner to take the dividends as they are paid out. (Although some
policies provide other/different/less options than these - it depends on the company for some
cases)

Page 11 of 47
ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

 Universal life coverage:


Universal life insurance (UL) is a relatively new insurance product intended to
provide permanent insurance coverage with greater flexibility in premium payment and the
potential for greater growth of cash values. There are several types of universal life insurance
policies which include "interest sensitive" (also known as "traditional fixed universal life
insurance"), variable universal life (VUL), guaranteed death benefit, and equity indexed
universal life insurance.
A universal life insurance policy includes a cash value. Premiums increase the cash
values, but the cost of insurance (along with any other charges assessed by the insurance
company) reduces cash values. However, with the exception of VUL, interest is credited on
cash values at a rate specified by the company and may also increase cash values. With VUL,
cash values will ebb and flow relative to the performance of the investment subaccounts the
policy owner has chosen. The surrender value of the policy is the amount payable to the
policy owner after applicable surrender charges, if any.
Universal life insurance addresses the perceived disadvantages of whole life – namely
that premiums and death benefit are fixed. With universal life, both the premiums and death
benefit are flexible. Except with regards to guaranteed death benefit universal life, this
flexibility comes at a price: reduced guarantees.
Depending on how interest is credited, the internal rate of return can be higher
because it moves with prevailing interest rates (interest-sensitive) or the financial markets
(Equity Indexed Universal Life and Variable Universal Life). Mortality costs and
administrative charges are known. And cash value may be considered more easily attainable
because the owner can discontinue premiums if the cash value allows it
Option A is often referred to as a level death benefit. Generally speaking, the death
benefit will remain level for the life of the insured and premiums are expected to be lower
than policies with an Option B death benefit.
Option B pays the face amount plus the cash value. If cash values grow over time, so
would the death benefit which is payable to the insured's beneficiaries. If cash values decline,
the death benefit would also decline. Presumably option B death benefit policies require
greater premium than option A policies.

Page 12 of 47
ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

Limited-pay:

Another type of permanent insurance is Limited-pay life insurance, in which all the premiums
are paid over a specified period after which no additional premiums are due to keep the
policy in force. Common limited pay periods include 10-year, 20-year, and paid-up at age 65.

3. Endowments:

Endowments are policies in which the cash value built up inside the policy, equals the death
benefit (face amount) at a certain age. The age this commences is known as the endowment
age. Endowments are considerably more expensive (in terms of annual premiums) than either
whole life or universal life because the premium paying period is shortened and the
endowment date is earlier.

In the United States, the Technical Corrections Act of 1988 tightened the rules on tax shelters
(creating modified endowments). These follow tax rules as annuities and IRAs do.

 Accidental Death
Accidental death is a limited life insurance that is designed to cover the insured when they
pass away due to an accident. Accidents include anything from an injury, but do not typically
cover any deaths resulting from health problems or suicide. Because they only cover
accidents, these policies are much less expensive than other life insurances. It is also very
commonly offered as "accidental death and dismemberment insurance", also known as an
AD&D policy. In an AD&D policy, benefits are available not only for accidental death, but
also for loss of limbs or bodily functions such as sight and hearing, etc. Accidental death and
AD&D policies very rarely pay a benefit; either the cause of death is not covered, or the
coverage is not maintained after the accident until death occurs. To be aware of what
coverage they have, an insured should always review their policy for what it covers and what
it excludes. Often, it does not cover an insured who puts themselves at risk in activities such
as: parachuting, flying an airplane, professional sports, or involvement in a war (military or
not).

Accidental death benefits can also be added to a standard life insurance policy as a rider. If
++this rider is purchased, the policy will generally pay double the face amount if the insured
dies due to an accident. This used to be commonly referred to as double indemnity coverage.
In some cases, some companies may even offer triple indemnity coverage

Page 13 of 47
ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

 Related Life Insurance Products


Riders are modifications to the insurance policy added at the same time the policy is issued.
These riders change the basic policy to provide some feature desired by the policy owner. A
common rider is accidental death, which used to be commonly referred to as "double
indemnity", which pays twice the amount of the policy face value if death results from
accidental causes, as if both a full coverage policy and an accidental death policy were in
effect on the insured. Another common rider is premium waiver, which waives future
premiums if the insured becomes disabled. Joint life insurance is either a term or permanent
policy insuring two or more lives with the proceeds payable on the first death or second
death. Survivorship life: is a whole life policy insuring two lives with the proceeds payable
on the second (later) death. Single premium whole life: is a policy with only one premium
which is payable at the time the policy is issued. Modified whole life: is a whole life policy
that charges smaller premiums for a specified period of time after which the premiums
increase for the remainder of the policy. Group life insurance: is term insurance covering a
group of people, usually employees of a company or members of a union or association.
Individual proof of insurability is not normally a consideration in the underwriting. Rather,
the underwriter considers the size and turnover of the group, and the financial strength of the
group. Senior and preneed products: Insurance companies have in recent years developed
products to offer to niche markets, most notably targeting the senior market to address needs
of an aging population. Many companies offer policies tailored to the needs of senior
applicants. Preneed (or prepaid) insurance policies: are whole life policies that, although
available at any age, are usually offered to older applicants as well. This type of insurance is
designed specifically to cover funeral expenses when the insured person dies. In many cases,
the applicant signs a prefunded funeral arrangement with a funeral home at the time the
policy is applied for.

ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

 Investment policies
Some policies allow the policyholder to participate in the profits of the insurance company
these are with-profits policies. Other policies have no rights to participate in the profits of the
company, these are non-profit policies.

With-profits policies are used as a form of collective investment to achieve capital growth.
Other policies offer a guaranteed return not dependent on the company's underlying
investment performance; these are often referred to as without-profit policies which may be
construed as a misnomer.

 Investment Bonds
Pensions: Pensions are a form of life assurance. However, whilst basic life assurance,
permanent health insurance and non-pensions annuity business includes an amount of
mortality or morbidity risk for the insurer, for pensions there is a longevity risk.

A pension fund will be built up throughout a person's working life. When the person retires,
the pension will become in payment, and at some stage the pensioner will buy an annuity
contract, which will guarantee a certain pay-out each month until death.

 Annuities
An annuity is a contract with an insurance company whereby the insured pays an initial
premium or premiums into a tax-deferred account, which pays out a sum at pre-determined
intervals. There are two periods: the accumulation (when payments are paid into the account)
and the annuitization (when the insurance company pays out). IRS rules restrict how you take
money out of an annuity.

ADVANTAGES OF LIFE INSURANCE


Life Insurance is one of the most widely available and used financial products being used by
people. But before buying various types of life insurance such as variable, term life insurance
not many people do a pros and cons analysis. This is quite sad since it is one of the biggest
yearly expenses and is one of the most important security assets for our family in case of
death or serious injury. Life Insurance has different meanings in different countries as well.
In India Life Insurance is mostly looked upon as an investment product. Most people buy
insurance as an investment product leading to the wide prevalence of hybrid insurance
investment products like ULIPs , Child Plans etc. It is easily found that these hybrid products
are wasteful since it would be cheaper to buy separate investment and insurance products.

1) Life Insurance is not an Investment:- Life Insurance is an Expense and not an Asset. It
is an expense just like your health insurance to make sure in case of serious illness you are
covered and not in a position to pay the costs of your illness leading to your life ending in a
bad manner. Life Insurance makes sure that your dependents can lead a decent life

economically despite your death. This is the main purpose and advantage of life insurance

2)Tax Advantage :– A number of countries allow you to offset the premiums that you pay
for you life insurance in your taxable income. Also the maturity amount that you get is also
not taxable in a number of places. Insurance is widely used by financial advisors to reduce
your tax burden.

3) Advantage Of Term Insurance :- While Insurance companies sell a wide variety of


insurance products like term variable universal insurance most are complex and intended to
fleece customers. Term Insurances is the best life insurance product for its simplicity and
cheapness. It gives you a lump sum amount in case of death and has no clause and
conditions. Its very simple to understand and the cheapest insurance product as well.

4) Flexibility in Coverage :- Life Insurance is supposed to cover you till the time you
have enough of a corpus for your dependents. You can take life insurance for 5,10,15,20
year. This also depends on your age but you get the basic idea. Suppose you have $50,000 in
savings and you need another $450,000 for your family to be comfortable in case of your
death. If you save $50,000 every year then it means that you need 9 more years to get to your
target .In that case you can take life insurance for 9 years.

5) Government Regulation provides Safety: – The government heavily regulates the


insurance sector making sure that your insurance company has enough assets to cover your
liability. This means that you have the peace of mind that in case of your death the money
will be given out by the life insurance company and it does not go bankrupt. Governments
Page 16 of 47
ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

make sure that insurance companies don‟t fail like banks. Even if they do their liabilities are
taken over by the government.

Universal and Variable Life Insurance Advantages :– While in my opinion both of these 2
types of insurance are a complete waste of time and money they offer the advantage in some
specific niche cases. These offer the option of investment and insurance by giving you an
interest in the cash value of your insurance. Variable insurance allows you to change the
premiums on your life insurance. However the complications of calculating mortality and
investment in a hybrid product is beyond the intelligence of most people in my opinion and
you are better staying away from these products.

Page 17 of 47
ROLE OF LIC IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

DISADVANTAGES OF LIFE INSURANCE

 Uncomfortable insurance product:-The Cons of a Life Insurance chosen carefully


is almost negligible. However the disadvantage of Life Insurance arises when it is
used as an investment product. Insurance companies also promote these as people are
uncomfortable in paying premiums on which returns are uncertain. They think that if
you are paying for insurance you must get back something. This is because of the
psychological make up of humans where we underestimate the chances of our demise.

 Buying Life Insurance when you have no Need: – People buy insurance when they
have no need for example an old woman buying life insurance. Also the example of
buying life insurance for a very long time period till you is 80 years old. At that age
you have no need since you would have no dependents and earning power as well.

 Buying Complex Life Insurance Products:- like ULIPs, Endowment, Child Plans
etc which give sub optimal returns – Millions of people every year buy insurance
products without understanding it. Most of the complex products give suboptimal
returns and have no suitability for the buyers. Agents frequently give bad advice to
get more commissions. Companies also make more money by selling complex
products which people don‟t understand.

 Buying Expensive Policies – People have little clue and don‟t compare life insurance
products even from the same provider. Buying Life Insurance is not Rocket Science
however this trillion dollar industry has made it complicated. There are hundreds of
types of insurance and products which makes choosing a difficult thing for a person.
But keeping it simple like buying term insurance for your insurance needs and other
financial assets for your investment will keep it simple.

LIC ACT 1956

Life Insurance Business in India was nationalized with effect from January 19, 1956. On the
date, the Indian business of 16 non-Indian insurers operating in India and 75 Provident
Societies were taken over by Government of India. Life Insurance Corporation of India, Act
was passed by the Parliament on June 18, 1956 and came into effect from July 1, 1956. Life
Insurance Corporation of India commenced its functioning as a corporate body from
September 1, 1956. Its working is governed by the LIC Act. The LIC is a corporate having
perpetual succession and a common seal with a power to acquire hold and dispose of property
and can by its name sue and be sued.

Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC)

The LIC of India was set up under the LIC Act, 1956 under which the life insurance was
nationalized. As a result, business of 243 insurance companies was taken over by LIC on 1-9-
1956.

It is basically an investment institution, in as much as the funds of policy holders are invested
and dispersed over different classes of securities, industries and regions, to safeguard their
maximum interest on long term basis. LIC is required to invest not less than 75% of its funds
in Central and State Government securities, the government guaranteed marketable securities
and in the socially-oriented sectors. At present, it is the largest institutional investor. It
provides long term finance to industries. Besides, it extends resource support to other term
lending institutions by way of subscription to their shares and bonds and also by way of term
loans.

LIC which has entered into its 57th year has emerged as the world’s largest insurance co. in
terms of number of policies covered. The LIC’s total coverage of policies including
individual, group and social schemes has crossed the 11 crore.

CONCLUSION:
Insurance is a large investment and you will most likely purchase multiple policies
throughout your lifetime. It is essential that you know what each type of insurance covers and
how it works so you can make the best decision about what to buy. Do not base your decision
on just what is cheapest, but look at what it provides.
Take the time to shop around and find the right insurance for your situation. People
