SUGGESTIONS
1) Information regarding new product should be provided to the customers. 2) The company should find out the no. of people who are not having any of the insurance plans through an intensive market research and motivate them to get insured. 3) At some level Company should provide information to the customers about the charges of the policy. 4) Company should target each and every class of the society. 5) Charges should be low of the policies. 6) Annual premium should be reasonable.

LIMITATIONS

Some of the respondents were not cooperative. There are chances of biased information provided by the respondents. As the sample size is small compared to the total population, therefore there cant be full accuracy. The time was limited. Area was limited.

Conclusion
Here in this study we see that people have more policies of LIC in comparison to BSLI. People have more faith in govt. companies than private. So it is necessary for BSLI Co. that it should give more attention to that points or that areas where it lacks for further future growth. Insurance sector is very wide and co. can grow in future.
