EXECUTIVE SUMMEARY
In today¶s corporate and competitive world, I find that insurance sector has
themaximum growth and potential as compared to the other sectors. Insurance has
themaximum growth rate of 70-80% while as FMCG sector has maximum 12-15% of
growth rate. This growth potential attracts me to enter in this sector and LIFEIN
SU
RANCE CORPORATION (LIC). has given me the opportunity to work and
getexperience in highly competitive and enhancing sector. Agents are the only way
for a company of Insurance sector through which policies andbenefits of the
company can be explained to the customer.The life insurance industry in India grew
by an impressive 47.38%, with premiumincome at Rs. 1560.41 billion during the
fiscal year 2006-2007. Though the total volumeof LIC's business increased in the last
fiscal year (2006-2007) compared to the previousone, its market share came down
from 85.75% to 81.91%.The 17 private insurers increased their market share from
about 15% to about 19% in ayear's time. The figures for the first two months of the
fiscal year 2007-08 also speak of the growing share of the private insurers. The
share of LIC for this period has further come down to 75 percent, while the private
players have grabbed over 24 percent.With the opening up of the insurance industry
in India many foreign players haveentered the market. The restriction on these
companies is that they are not allowed tohave more than a 26% stake in a
company¶s ownership.
S
ince the opening up of the insurance sector in 1999, foreign investments of Rs.
8.7billion have poured into the Indian market and 19 private life insurance companies
havebeen granted licenses.Innovative products, smart marketing, and aggressive
distribution have enabledfledgling private insurance companies to sign up Indian
customers faster than anyoneexpected. Indians, who had always seen life insurance
as a tax saving device, are nowsuddenly turning to the private sector and snapping
up the new innovative products onoffer.
S
ome of these products include investment plans with insurance and good returns(unit
linked plans), multi ± purpose insurance plans, pension plans, child plans andmoney
back plans.

INTRODUCTION OF INDUSTRY
The history of life insurance in India dates back to 1818 when it was conceived as
ameans to provide for English Widows. Interestingly in those days a higher premium
wascharged for Indian lives than the non - Indian lives, as Indian lives were
consideredmore risky to cover. The Bombay Mutual Life Insurance
S
ociety started its business in1870. It was the first company to charge the same
premium for both Indian and non-Indian lives.The Oriental Assurance Company was
established in 1880. The General insurancebusiness in India, on the other hand, can
trace its roots to Triton Insurance CompanyLimited, the first general insurance
company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta bythe British. Till the end of the
nineteenth century insurance business was almost entirelyin the hands of overseas
companies.Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the Life
InsuranceCompanies Act of 1912 and the Provident Fund Act of 1912.
S
everal frauds during the1920's and 1930's sullied insurance business in India. By
1938 there were 176insurance companies.The first comprehensive legislation was
introduced with the Insurance Act of 1938 thatprovided strict
S
tate Control over the insurance business. The insurance business grewat a faster
pace after independence. Indian companies strengthened their hold on thisbusiness
but despite the growth that was witnessed, insurance remained an
urbanphenomenon.The Government of India in 1956, brought together over 240
private life insurers andprovident societies under one nationalized monopoly
corporation and Life InsuranceCorporation (LIC) was born. Nationalization was
justified on the grounds that it wouldcreate the much needed funds for rapid
industrialization. This was in conformity with theGovernment's chosen path of
S
tate led planning and development.The non-life insurance business continued to
thrive with the private sector till 1972.Their operations were restricted to organized
trade and industry in large cities. Thegeneral insurance industry was nationalized in
1972. With this, nearly 107 insurers wereamalgamated and grouped into four
companies- National Insurance Company, NewIndia Assurance Company, Oriental
Insurance Company and
U
nited India InsuranceCompany.
9
These were subsidiaries of the General Insurance Company (GIC).With the largest
number of life insurance policies in force in the world, Insurancehappens to be a
mega opportunity in India. It¶s a business growing at the rate of 15-20per cent
annually and presently is of the order of Rs 1560.41 billion (for the financialyear 2006
± 2007). Together with banking services, it adds about 7% to the country¶sGross
Domestic Product (GDP). The gross premium collection is nearly 2% of GDP
andfunds available with LIC for investments are 8% of the GDP.Even so nearly 65%
of the Indian population is without life insurance cover while healthinsurance and
non-life insurance continues to be below international standards. A largepart of our
population is also subject to weak social security and pension systems withhardly
any old age income security. A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is
needed for economic development asit provides long term funds for infrastructure
development and strengthens the risktaking ability of individuals. It is estimated that
over the next ten years India wouldrequire investments of the order of one trillion
US
dollars.

INTRODUCTION OF ORGANIZATION
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC)
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was established on 1
S
eptember 1956 tospread the message of life insurance in the country and mobilise
people¶s savings for nation-building activities. LIC with its central office in Mumbai
and seven zonal offices atMumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kanpur
and Bhopal, operates through100 divisional offices in important cities and 2,048
branch offices. LIC has 5.59 lakhactive agents spread over the country.The
Corporation also transacts business abroad and has offices in Fiji, Mauritius and
U
nited Kingdom. LIC is associated with joint ventures abroad in the field of
insurance,namely, Ken-India Assurance Company Limited, Nairobi;
U
nited Oriental AssuranceCompany Limited, Kuala Lumpur; and Life Insurance
Corporation (International), E.C.Bahrain. It has also entered into an agreement with
the
S
un Life (
U
K) for marketing unitlinked life insurance and pension policies in
U
.K.In 1995-96, LIC had a total income from premium and investments of $ 5 Billion
whileGIC recorded a net premium of $ 1.3 Billion. During the last 15 years, LIC's
incomegrew at a healthy average of 10 per cent as against the industry's 6.7 per
cent growth inthe rest of Asia (3.4 per cent in Europe, 1.4 per cent in the
US
).LIC has even provided insurance cover to five million people living below the
povertyline, with 50 per cent subsidy in the premium rates. LIC's claims settlement
ratio at 95per cent and GIC's at 74 per cent are higher than that of global average of
40 per cent.Compounded annual growth rate for Life insurance business has been
19.22 per centper annumThe story of insurance is probably as old as the story of
mankind. The same instinct thatprompts modern businessmen today to secure
themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought
to avert the evil consequences of fire andflood and loss of life and were willing to
make some sort of sacrifice in order to achievesecurity. Though the concept of
insurance is largely a development of the recent past,particularly after the industrial
era ± past few centuries ± yet its beginnings date backalmost 6000 years.
11
Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818.
OrientalLife Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life
insurancecompany on Indian
S
oil. All the insurance companies established during that periodwere brought up with
the purpose of looking after the needs of European communityand Indian natives
were not being insured by these companies. However, later with theefforts of
eminent people like Babu Muttylal
S
eal, the foreign life insurance companiesstarted insuring Indian lives. But Indian lives
were being treated as sub-standard livesand heavy extra premiums were being
charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance
S
ociety heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870, and
covered Indian lives at normal rates.
S
tarting as Indian enterprise with highlypatriotic motives, insurance companies came
into existence to carry the message of insurance and social security through
insurance to various sectors of society. BharatInsurance Company (1896) was also
one of such companies inspired by nationalism.The
S
wadeshi movement of 1905-1907 gave rise to more insurance companies. The
U
nited India in Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and the Co-
operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906. In 1907, Hindustan Co-
operative Insurance Company took its birth in one of the rooms of the Jorasanko,
houseof the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, in Calcutta. The Indian Mercantile,
General Assurance and
S
wadeshi Life (later Bombay Life) were some of the companiesestablished during the
same period. Prior to 1912 India had no legislation to regulateinsurance business. In
the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act, and theProvident Fund Act were
passed. The Life Insurance Companies Act, 1912 made itnecessary that the
premium rate tables and periodical valuations of companies shouldbe certified by an
actuary. But the Act discriminated between foreign and Indiancompanies on many
accounts, putting the Indian companies at a disadvantage.The first two decades of
the twentieth century saw lot of growth in insurance business.From 44 companies
with total business-in-force as Rs.22.44 crore, it rose to 176companies with total
business-in-force as Rs.298 crore in 1938. During themushrooming of insurance
companies many financially unsound concerns were alsofloated which failed
miserably. The Insurance Act 1938 was the first legislationgoverning not only life
insurance but also non-life insurance to provide strict statecontrol over insurance
business. The demand for nationalization of life insuranceindustry was made
repeatedly in the past but it gathered momentum in 1944 when a billto amend the
Life Insurance Act 1938 was introduced in the Legislative Assembly.However, it was
much later on the 19th of January, 1956, that life insurance in India wasnationalized.
About 154 Indian insurance companies, 16 non-Indian companies and 75provident
were operating in India at the time of nationalization. Nationalization
wasaccomplished in two stages; initially the management of the companies was
taken over by means of an Ordinance, and later, the ownership too by means of a
comprehensivebill. The Parliament of India passed the Life Insurance Corporation
Act on the 19th of June 1956, and the Life Insurance Corporation of India was
created on 1st
S
eptember,1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance much more widely and
in particular to the rural areas with a view to reach all insurable persons in the
country, providingthem adequate financial cover at a reasonable cost.
12
LIC had 5 zonal offices, 33 divisional offices and 212 branch offices, apart from
itscorporate office in the year 1956.
S
ince life insurance contracts are long term contractsand during the currency of the
policy it requires a variety of services need was felt in thelater years to expand the
operations and place a branch office at each districtheadquarter. Re-organization of
LIC took place and large numbers of new branchoffices were opened. As a result of
re-organisation servicing functions were transferredto the branches, and branches
were made accounting units. It worked wonders with theperformance of the
corporation. It may be seen that from about 200.00 crores of NewBusiness in 1957
the corporation crossed 1000.00 crores only in the year 1969-70, andit took another
10 years for LIC to cross 2000.00 crore mark of new business. But withre-
organisation happening in the early eighties, by 1985-86 LIC had already
crossed7000.00 crore
S
um Assured on new policies.Today LIC functions with 2048 fully computerized
branch offices, 109 divisional offices,8 zonal offices, 992 satallite offices and the
Corporate office. LIC¶s Wide Area Networkcovers 109 divisional offices and
connects all the branches through a Metro AreaNetwork. LIC has tied up with some
Banks and
S
ervice providers to offer on-linepremium collection facility in selected cities. LIC¶s EC
S
and ATM premium paymentfacility is an addition to customer convenience. Apart
from on-line Kiosks and IVR
S
, InfoCentres have been commissioned at Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore,
Chennai,Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, Pune and many other cities. With a vision
of providingeasy access to its policyholders, LIC has launched its
S
ATELLITE
S
AMPARK offices.The satellite offices are smaller, leaner and closer to the customer.
The digitalizedrecords of the satellite offices will facilitate anywhere servicing and
many other conveniences in the future.LIC continues to be the dominant life insurer
even in the liberalized scenario of Indianinsurance and is moving fast on a new
growth trajectory surpassing its own pastrecords. LIC has issued over one crore
policies during the current year. It has crossedthe milestone of issuing 1,01,32,955
new policies by 15th Oct, 2005, posting a healthygrowth rate of 16.67% over the
corresponding period of the previous year.From then to now, LIC has crossed many
milestones and has set unprecedentedperformance records in various aspects of life
insurance business. The same motiveswhich inspired our forefathers to bring
insurance into existence in this country inspire usat LIC to take this message of
protection to light the lamps of security in as many homesas possible and to help the
people in providing security to their families.

KNOW ABOUT OUR LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance in India made its debut well over 100 years ago.In our country, which
is one of the most populated in the world, the prominence of insurance is not as
widely understood, as it ought to be. What follows is an attempt toacquaint readers
with some of the concepts of life insurance, with special reference toLIC.It should,
however, be clearly understood that the following content is by no means
anexhaustive description of the terms and conditions of an LIC policy or its benefits
or privileges.For more details, please contact our branch or divisional office. Any LIC
Agent will beglad to help you choose the life insurance plan to meet your needs and
render policyservicing.
What Is 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
S
pecified dates at periodic intervals, or
U
nfortunate death, if it occurs earlier. Among other things, the contract also provides
for the payment of premiumperiodically to the Corporation by the policyholder. Life
insurance is universallyacknowledged to be an institution, which eliminates 'risk',
substituting certainty for uncertainty and comes to the timely aid of the family in the
unfortunate event of deathof the breadwinner.By and large, life insurance is
civilisation's partial solution to the problems caused bydeath. Life insurance, in short,
is concerned with two hazards that stand across thelife-path of every person:That of
dying prematurely leaving a dependent family to fend for itself.That of living till old
age without visible means of support.
18
Life Insurance Vs. Other Savings
Contrace Of Insurance:
A contract of insurance is a contract of utmost good faith technically known
asuberrima fides. The doctrine of disclosing all material facts is embodied in
thisimportant principle, which applies to all forms of insurance. At the time of taking a
policy, policyholder should ensure that all questions in theproposal form are correctly
answered. Any misrepresentation, non-disclosure or fraudin any document leading to
the acceptance of the risk would render the insurancecontract null and void.
Protection:
S
avings through life insurance guarantee full protection against risk of death of
thesaver. Also, in case of demise, life insurance assures payment of the entire
amountassured (with bonuses wherever applicable) whereas in other savings
schemes, onlythe amount saved (with interest) is payable.
Aid To Thrift:
Life insurance encourages 'thrift'. It allows long-term savings since payments can
bemade effortlessly because of the 'easy instalment' facility built into the
scheme.(Premium payment for insurance is either monthly, quarterly, half yearly or
yearly).For example: The
S
alary
S
aving
S
cheme popularly known as
SSS
, provides aconvenient method of paying premium each month by deduction from
one's salary.In this case the employer directly pays the deducted premium to LIC.
The
S
alary
S
aving
S
cheme is ideal for any institution or establishment subject to specified termsand
conditions.
Liquidity:
In case of insurance, it is easy to acquire loans on the sole security of any policythat
has acquired loan value. Besides, a life insurance policy is also generallyaccepted
as security, even for a commercial loan.
Tax Relief:
Life Insurance is the best way to enjoy tax deductions on income tax and wealth
tax.This is available for amounts paid by way of premium for life insurance subject
toincome tax rates in force. Assesses can also avail of provisions in the law for tax
relief. In such cases theassured in effect pays a lower premium for insurance than
otherwise.
19
Money When You Need It:
A policy that has a suitable insurance plan or a combination of different plans can
beeffectively used to meet certain monetary needs that may arise from time-to-
time.Children's education, start-in-life or marriage provision or even periodical needs
for cash over a stretch of time can be less stressful with the help of these policies.
Alternatively, policy money can be made available at the time of one's retirement
fromservice and used for any specific purpose, such as, purchase of a house or for
other investments. Also, loans are granted to policyholders for house building or for
purchase of flats (subject to certain conditions). Any person who has attained
majority and is eligible to enter into a valid contract caninsure himself/herself and
those in whom he/she has insurable interest.Policies can also be taken, subject to
certain conditions, on the life of one's spouse or children. While underwriting
proposals, certain factors such as the policyholder¶s stateof health, the proponent's
income and other relevant factors are considered by theCorporation.
Insurance For Women
Prior to nationalisation (1956), many private insurance companies would offer
insurance to female lives with some extra premium or on restrictive
conditions.However, after nationalisation of life insurance, the terms under which life
insurance isgranted to female lives have been reviewed from time-to-time. At
present, women who work and earn an income are treated at par with men. In other
cases, a restrictive clause is imposed, only if the age of the female is up to 30
yearsand if she does not have an income attracting Income Tax.
Medical And Non-Medical Schemes:
Life insurance is normally offered after a medical examination of the life to be
assured.However, to facilitate greater spread of insurance and also to avoid
inconvenience,LIC has been extending insurance cover without any medical
examination, subject tocertain conditions.
With Profit And Without Profit Plans:
An insurance policy can be 'with' or 'without' profit. In the former, bonuses disclosed,
if any, after periodical valuations are allotted to the policy and are payable along with
thecontracted amount.In 'without' profit plan the contracted amount is paid without
any addition. The premiumrate charged for a 'with' profit policy is therefore higher
than for a 'without' profit policy.
Keyman Insurance
Keyman insurance is taken by a business firm on the life of key employee(s) to
protectthe firm against financial losses, which may occur due to the premature
demise of theKeyman.

theInsured. Hence the policyholder should preserve the Policy Bond till the
contractedamount under it is settled.Loss of the Policy Document should be
immediately intimated to the Branch Officewhere it is serviced.
Loans:

Meaning of saving scheme:
saving schemes are a kind of mutual funds like diversified equity funds with
Taxbenefits. It is just like other tax saving instruments like National
S
avings Certificate andPublic Provident Fund. Main advantage with EL
SS
is lock-in period is only 3 years whilefor N
S
C it is 6 years and for PPF it is 15 years. At the same time risk factor is high inEL
SS
. As per Income Tax act 80c investment up to Rs 1,00,000 are eligible for deduction
fromthe gross total income hence reducing the total taxable income. For example if
your total annual income is Rs 3,00,000 and you invest Rs 1,00,000 in EL
SS
then your taxable income will become Rs 2,00,000.Previously there was an upper
limit for investing in tax saving instruments like EL
SS
of 5,00,000. Only individuals with less than 5,00,000 annual income are allowed to
investin tax saving instruments. But last year financial budget removed this
restriction andnow any individual can invest in EL
SS
irrespective of their income level.
Advantages of ELSS over NSC and PPF
1. Main advantage of EL
SS
is its short lock-in period. Maturity period of N
S
C is 6 yearsand PPF is 15 years.2.
S
ince it is an equity linked scheme earning potential is very high.3. Investor can opt for
dividend option and get some gains during the lock-in period4. Investor can opt for
S
ystematic Investment Plan5.
S
ome EL
SS
schemes also offer personal accident death cover insurance6. Provides 30 to 40%
returns compared to 8% in N
S
C and PPF
Disadvantages of ELSS
1. Risk factor is high compared to N
S
C and PPF2. Premature withdrawal is not allowed but it is allowed in other
instruments in somespecific conditions.
32
Diversified Equity Schemes and ELSS
Both Equity linked saving scheme and diversified equity scheme operates in same
way.Both are high return and high risk schemes. But there is a 3 year lock in period
of EL
SS
and it provides tax benefits too.
Systematic Investment Plan
Best way to invest in EL
SS
is through
S
ystematic Investment Plan(
S
IP). With
S
IP youcan invest a small amount every month for a specific time period. With
S
IP investor cantake advantage of fluctuations in the stock market.
S
o investor will get more units whenthe market is down and get less units when the
market is up. For eg if you are investingRs 1000 every month and you will get 100
units for when Net Asset Value (NAV) is 10and will get 50 units when NAV is 20.
S
o investing a fixed sum regularly helps to cover the market fluctuations by rupee
costs averaging. Also most of the Asset ManagementCompanies (AMC) charges
less entry load for
S
IP compared to normal purchase.

Conclusion
After Finding¶s we can see about LIC features and his The tendency to take
the expedient approach and focus on the far right of the LIC spectrum,
Peacetime Contingency Operations and conduct training as usual, while
briefing that the LIC block has been checked, will lead us to a possibly fatal
false sense of security.
Instinctive behavior and ingrained training must be adjusted to fit new
circumstances.
S
TXs must be developed locally or borrowed from unitswho
have already been through the training.
The probability of becoming involved in a LIC operation is high. Thepotential
to attract international attention, even with limited forces, is alsogreat.
U
nits
have demonstrated that with a balanced training focus andproper
preparation, many pitfalls outlined above can be avoided.
LIC is not conventional warfare. This is critical for the counterinsurgent to
understand. The insurgent¶s violent and coercive strategy is applied so asto
achieve political, civil, military and psychological results. Hence, the
counterinsurgent must counter all of these strategic elements individually.In
addition, the target of the insurgent¶s violence and coercion is the population. This
isbecause the population is the centre of gravity in LIC. Therefore the
counterinsurgentmust also focus on the population to be successful. In terms of
military principles incounterinsurgency, doctrinal precision, professionalism,
independence, initiative, forceprecision, restraint, combined arms, precision
engagement, joint force, effectivepopulation based intelligence, integrated
communications, a civil affairs approach andhigh levels of training are critical.
S
o we can say that so many merit¶s and Demerit¶s in life insurance Corporation of
India.

Any suggestions for improvement, will be gratefullyaccepted.I sincerely hope that this will prove pure knowledge imparting, throughprovoking and thus stimulating future research work on these guideline. 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMEARY In today¶s corporate and competitive world, I find that insurance sector has themaximum growth and potential as compared to the other sectors. Insurance has themaximum growth rate of 70-80% while as FMCG sector has maximum 12-15% of growth rate. This growth potential attracts me to enter in this sector and LIFEIN SU RANCE CORPORATION (LIC). has given me the opportunity to work and getexperience in highly competitive and enhancing sector. Agents are the only way for a company of Insurance sector through which policies andbenefits of the company can be explained to the customer.The life insurance industry in India grew by an impressive 47.38%, with premiumincome at Rs. 1560.41 billion during the fiscal year 2006-2007. Though the total volumeof LIC's business increased in the last
  • 3. fiscal year (2006-2007) compared to the previousone, its market share came down from 85.75% to 81.91%.The 17 private insurers increased their market share from about 15% to about 19% in ayear's time. The figures for the first two months of the fiscal year 2007-08 also speak of the growing share of the private insurers. The share of LIC for this period has further come down to 75 percent, while the private players have grabbed over 24 percent.With the opening up of the insurance industry in India many foreign players haveentered the market. The restriction on these companies is that they are not allowed tohave more than a 26% stake in a company¶s ownership. S ince the opening up of the insurance sector in 1999, foreign investments of Rs. 8.7billion have poured into the Indian market and 19 private life insurance companies havebeen granted licenses.Innovative products, smart marketing, and aggressive distribution have enabledfledgling private insurance companies to sign up Indian customers faster than anyoneexpected. Indians, who had always seen life insurance as a tax saving device, are nowsuddenly turning to the private sector and snapping up the new innovative products onoffer. S ome of these products include investment plans with insurance and good returns(unit linked plans), multi ± purpose insurance plans, pension plans, child plans andmoney back plans. 7 CONTENTS  ACKNOWLEDGEMENT  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY  INTRODUCTION OF INDUSTRY  INTRODUCTON OF ORGANIZATION  MILESTONES OF LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS IN INDIA  GENERAL INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA  MILESTONES IN GENERAL INSURANCE  BORAD OF DIRECTORS OF LIC  KNOW ABOUT OUR LIFE INSURANCE  OPERATE ALL OVER INDIA  ADMISSION OF AGE  MISSION & VISION OF LIC  OBJECTIVE OF LIC 

Interestingly in those days a higher premium wascharged for Indian lives than the non - Indian lives, as Indian lives were consideredmore risky to cover. The Bombay Mutual Life Insurance S ociety started its business in1870. It was the first company to charge the same premium for both Indian and non-Indian lives.The Oriental Assurance Company was established in 1880. The General insurancebusiness in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to Triton Insurance CompanyLimited, the first general insurance company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta bythe British. Till the end of the nineteenth century insurance business was almost entirelyin the hands of overseas companies.Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the Life InsuranceCompanies Act of 1912 and the Provident Fund Act of 1912. S
  • 5. everal frauds during the1920's and 1930's sullied insurance business in India. By 1938 there were 176insurance companies.The first comprehensive legislation was introduced with the Insurance Act of 1938 thatprovided strict S tate Control over the insurance business. The insurance business grewat a faster pace after independence. Indian companies strengthened their hold on thisbusiness but despite the growth that was witnessed, insurance remained an urbanphenomenon.The Government of India in 1956, brought together over 240 private life insurers andprovident societies under one nationalized monopoly corporation and Life InsuranceCorporation (LIC) was born. Nationalization was justified on the grounds that it wouldcreate the much needed funds for rapid industrialization. This was in conformity with theGovernment's chosen path of S tate led planning and development.The non-life insurance business continued to thrive with the private sector till 1972.Their operations were restricted to organized trade and industry in large cities. Thegeneral insurance industry was nationalized in 1972. With this, nearly 107 insurers wereamalgamated and grouped into four companies- National Insurance Company, NewIndia Assurance Company, Oriental Insurance Company and U nited India InsuranceCompany. 9 These were subsidiaries of the General Insurance Company (GIC).With the largest number of life insurance policies in force in the world, Insurancehappens to be a mega opportunity in India. It¶s a business growing at the rate of 15-20per cent annually and presently is of the order of Rs 1560.41 billion (for the financialyear 2006 ± 2007). Together with banking services, it adds about 7% to the country¶sGross Domestic Product (GDP). The gross premium collection is nearly 2% of GDP andfunds available with LIC for investments are 8% of the GDP.Even so nearly 65% of the Indian population is without life insurance cover while healthinsurance and non-life insurance continues to be below international standards. A largepart of our population is also subject to weak social security and pension systems withhardly any old age income security. A well-developed and evolved insurance sector is needed for economic development asit provides long term funds for infrastructure development and strengthens the risktaking ability of individuals. It is estimated that over the next ten years India wouldrequire investments of the order of one trillion US dollars. 10 INTRODUCTION OF ORGANIZATION Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was established on 1 S eptember 1956 tospread the message of life insurance in the country and mobilise people¶s savings for nation-building activities. LIC with its central office in Mumbai and seven zonal offices atMumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kanpur and Bhopal, operates through100 divisional offices in important cities and 2,048 branch offices. LIC has 5.59 lakhactive agents spread over the country.The Corporation also transacts business abroad and has offices in Fiji, Mauritius and U
  • 6. nited Kingdom. LIC is associated with joint ventures abroad in the field of insurance,namely, Ken-India Assurance Company Limited, Nairobi; U nited Oriental AssuranceCompany Limited, Kuala Lumpur; and Life Insurance Corporation (International), E.C.Bahrain. It has also entered into an agreement with the S un Life ( U K) for marketing unitlinked life insurance and pension policies in U .K.In 1995-96, LIC had a total income from premium and investments of $ 5 Billion whileGIC recorded a net premium of $ 1.3 Billion. During the last 15 years, LIC's incomegrew at a healthy average of 10 per cent as against the industry's 6.7 per cent growth inthe rest of Asia (3.4 per cent in Europe, 1.4 per cent in the US ).LIC has even provided insurance cover to five million people living below the povertyline, with 50 per cent subsidy in the premium rates. LIC's claims settlement ratio at 95per cent and GIC's at 74 per cent are higher than that of global average of 40 per cent.Compounded annual growth rate for Life insurance business has been 19.22 per centper annumThe story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same instinct thatprompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire andflood and loss of life and were willing to make some sort of sacrifice in order to achievesecurity. Though the concept of insurance is largely a development of the recent past,particularly after the industrial era ± past few centuries ± yet its beginnings date backalmost 6000 years. 11 Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. OrientalLife Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurancecompany on Indian S oil. All the insurance companies established during that periodwere brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs of European communityand Indian natives were not being insured by these companies. However, later with theefforts of eminent people like Babu Muttylal S eal, the foreign life insurance companiesstarted insuring Indian lives. But Indian lives were being treated as sub-standard livesand heavy extra premiums were being charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance S ociety heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates. S tarting as Indian enterprise with highlypatriotic motives, insurance companies came into existence to carry the message of insurance and social security through insurance to various sectors of society. BharatInsurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by nationalism.The S wadeshi movement of 1905-1907 gave rise to more insurance companies. The
  • 7. U nited India in Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and the Co- operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906. In 1907, Hindustan Co- operative Insurance Company took its birth in one of the rooms of the Jorasanko, houseof the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, in Calcutta. The Indian Mercantile, General Assurance and S wadeshi Life (later Bombay Life) were some of the companiesestablished during the same period. Prior to 1912 India had no legislation to regulateinsurance business. In the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act, and theProvident Fund Act were passed. The Life Insurance Companies Act, 1912 made itnecessary that the premium rate tables and periodical valuations of companies shouldbe certified by an actuary. But the Act discriminated between foreign and Indiancompanies on many accounts, putting the Indian companies at a disadvantage.The first two decades of the twentieth century saw lot of growth in insurance business.From 44 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.22.44 crore, it rose to 176companies with total business-in-force as Rs.298 crore in 1938. During themushrooming of insurance companies many financially unsound concerns were alsofloated which failed miserably. The Insurance Act 1938 was the first legislationgoverning not only life insurance but also non-life insurance to provide strict statecontrol over insurance business. The demand for nationalization of life insuranceindustry was made repeatedly in the past but it gathered momentum in 1944 when a billto amend the Life Insurance Act 1938 was introduced in the Legislative Assembly.However, it was much later on the 19th of January, 1956, that life insurance in India wasnationalized. About 154 Indian insurance companies, 16 non-Indian companies and 75provident were operating in India at the time of nationalization. Nationalization wasaccomplished in two stages; initially the management of the companies was taken over by means of an Ordinance, and later, the ownership too by means of a comprehensivebill. The Parliament of India passed the Life Insurance Corporation Act on the 19th of June 1956, and the Life Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st S eptember,1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance much more widely and in particular to the rural areas with a view to reach all insurable persons in the country, providingthem adequate financial cover at a reasonable cost. 12 LIC had 5 zonal offices, 33 divisional offices and 212 branch offices, apart from itscorporate office in the year 1956. S ince life insurance contracts are long term contractsand during the currency of the policy it requires a variety of services need was felt in thelater years to expand the operations and place a branch office at each districtheadquarter. Re-organization of LIC took place and large numbers of new branchoffices were opened. As a result of re-organisation servicing functions were transferredto the branches, and branches were made accounting units. It worked wonders with theperformance of the corporation. It may be seen that from about 200.00 crores of NewBusiness in 1957 the corporation crossed 1000.00 crores only in the year 1969-70, andit took another 10 years for LIC to cross 2000.00 crore mark of new business. But withre- organisation happening in the early eighties, by 1985-86 LIC had already crossed7000.00 crore
  • 8. S um Assured on new policies.Today LIC functions with 2048 fully computerized branch offices, 109 divisional offices,8 zonal offices, 992 satallite offices and the Corporate office. LIC¶s Wide Area Networkcovers 109 divisional offices and connects all the branches through a Metro AreaNetwork. LIC has tied up with some Banks and S ervice providers to offer on-linepremium collection facility in selected cities. LIC¶s EC S and ATM premium paymentfacility is an addition to customer convenience. Apart from on-line Kiosks and IVR S , InfoCentres have been commissioned at Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai,Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, Pune and many other cities. With a vision of providingeasy access to its policyholders, LIC has launched its S ATELLITE S AMPARK offices.The satellite offices are smaller, leaner and closer to the customer. The digitalizedrecords of the satellite offices will facilitate anywhere servicing and many other conveniences in the future.LIC continues to be the dominant life insurer even in the liberalized scenario of Indianinsurance and is moving fast on a new growth trajectory surpassing its own pastrecords. LIC has issued over one crore policies during the current year. It has crossedthe milestone of issuing 1,01,32,955 new policies by 15th Oct, 2005, posting a healthygrowth rate of 16.67% over the corresponding period of the previous year.From then to now, LIC has crossed many milestones and has set unprecedentedperformance records in various aspects of life insurance business. The same motiveswhich inspired our forefathers to bring insurance into existence in this country inspire usat LIC to take this message of protection to light the lamps of security in as many homesas possible and to help the people in providing security to their families. 13 MILESTONES OF LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS IN INDIA 1818: Oriental Life Insurance Company, the first life insurance company onIndian soil started functioning.1870: Bombay Mutual Life Assurance S ociety, the first Indian life insurancecompany started its business.1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the firststatute to regulate the life insurance business.1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable thegovernment to collect statistical information about both life and non-lifeinsurance businesses.1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Actwith the objective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies are takenover by the central government and nationalised.

What follows is an attempt toacquaint readers with some of the concepts of life insurance, with special reference toLIC.It should, however, be clearly understood that the following content is by no means anexhaustive description of the terms and conditions of an LIC policy or its benefits or privileges.For more details, please contact our branch or divisional office. Any LIC Agent will beglad to help you choose the life insurance plan to meet your needs and render policyservicing. What Is 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 S pecified dates at periodic intervals, or U nfortunate death, if it occurs earlier. Among other things, the contract also provides for the payment of premiumperiodically to the Corporation by the policyholder. Life insurance is universallyacknowledged to be an institution, which eliminates 'risk', substituting certainty for uncertainty and comes to the timely aid of the family in the unfortunate event of deathof the breadwinner.By and large, life insurance is civilisation's partial solution to the problems caused bydeath. Life insurance, in short, is concerned with two hazards that stand across thelife-path of every person:That of dying prematurely leaving a dependent family to fend for itself.That of living till old age without visible means of support. 18 Life Insurance Vs. Other Savings Contrace Of Insurance: A contract of insurance is a contract of utmost good faith technically known asuberrima fides. The doctrine of disclosing all material facts is embodied in thisimportant principle, which applies to all forms of insurance. At the time of taking a policy, policyholder should ensure that all questions in theproposal form are correctly answered. Any misrepresentation, non-disclosure or fraudin any document leading to the acceptance of the risk would render the insurancecontract null and void. Protection: S avings through life insurance guarantee full protection against risk of death of thesaver. Also, in case of demise, life insurance assures payment of the entire
  • 11. amountassured (with bonuses wherever applicable) whereas in other savings schemes, onlythe amount saved (with interest) is payable. Aid To Thrift: Life insurance encourages 'thrift'. It allows long-term savings since payments can bemade effortlessly because of the 'easy instalment' facility built into the scheme.(Premium payment for insurance is either monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly).For example: The S alary S aving S cheme popularly known as SSS , provides aconvenient method of paying premium each month by deduction from one's salary.In this case the employer directly pays the deducted premium to LIC. The S alary S aving S cheme is ideal for any institution or establishment subject to specified termsand conditions. Liquidity: In case of insurance, it is easy to acquire loans on the sole security of any policythat has acquired loan value. Besides, a life insurance policy is also generallyaccepted as security, even for a commercial loan. Tax Relief: Life Insurance is the best way to enjoy tax deductions on income tax and wealth tax.This is available for amounts paid by way of premium for life insurance subject toincome tax rates in force. Assesses can also avail of provisions in the law for tax relief. In such cases theassured in effect pays a lower premium for insurance than otherwise. 19 Money When You Need It: A policy that has a suitable insurance plan or a combination of different plans can beeffectively used to meet certain monetary needs that may arise from time-to- time.Children's education, start-in-life or marriage provision or even periodical needs for cash over a stretch of time can be less stressful with the help of these policies.

While underwriting proposals, certain factors such as the policyholder¶s stateof health, the proponent's income and other relevant factors are considered by theCorporation. Insurance For Women
  • 12. Prior to nationalisation (1956), many private insurance companies would offer insurance to female lives with some extra premium or on restrictive conditions.However, after nationalisation of life insurance, the terms under which life insurance isgranted to female lives have been reviewed from time-to-time. At present, women who work and earn an income are treated at par with men. In other cases, a restrictive clause is imposed, only if the age of the female is up to 30 yearsand if she does not have an income attracting Income Tax. Medical And Non-Medical Schemes: Life insurance is normally offered after a medical examination of the life to be assured.However, to facilitate greater spread of insurance and also to avoid inconvenience,LIC has been extending insurance cover without any medical examination, subject tocertain conditions. With Profit And Without Profit Plans: An insurance policy can be 'with' or 'without' profit. In the former, bonuses disclosed, if any, after periodical valuations are allotted to the policy and are payable along with thecontracted amount.In 'without' profit plan the contracted amount is paid without any addition. The premiumrate charged for a 'with' profit policy is therefore higher than for a 'without' profit policy.

  • 18. SS is lock-in period is only 3 years whilefor N S C it is 6 years and for PPF it is 15 years. At the same time risk factor is high inEL SS . As per Income Tax act 80c investment up to Rs 1,00,000 are eligible for deduction fromthe gross total income hence reducing the total taxable income. For example if your total annual income is Rs 3,00,000 and you invest Rs 1,00,000 in EL SS then your taxable income will become Rs 2,00,000.Previously there was an upper limit for investing in tax saving instruments like EL SS of 5,00,000. Only individuals with less than 5,00,000 annual income are allowed to investin tax saving instruments. But last year financial budget removed this restriction andnow any individual can invest in EL SS irrespective of their income level. Advantages of ELSS over NSC and PPF 1. Main advantage of EL SS is its short lock-in period. Maturity period of N S C is 6 yearsand PPF is 15 years.2. S ince it is an equity linked scheme earning potential is very high.3. Investor can opt for dividend option and get some gains during the lock-in period4. Investor can opt for S ystematic Investment Plan5. S ome EL SS schemes also offer personal accident death cover insurance6. Provides 30 to 40% returns compared to 8% in N S C and PPF Disadvantages of ELSS 1. Risk factor is high compared to N S C and PPF2. Premature withdrawal is not allowed but it is allowed in other instruments in somespecific conditions. 32 Diversified Equity Schemes and ELSS Both Equity linked saving scheme and diversified equity scheme operates in same way.Both are high return and high risk schemes. But there is a 3 year lock in period of EL SS and it provides tax benefits too. Systematic Investment Plan Best way to invest in EL SS

With S IP investor cantake advantage of fluctuations in the stock market. S o investor will get more units whenthe market is down and get less units when the market is up. For eg if you are investingRs 1000 every month and you will get 100 units for when Net Asset Value (NAV) is 10and will get 50 units when NAV is 20.

Instinctive behavior and ingrained training must be adjusted to fit new circumstances. S TXs must be developed locally or borrowed from unitswho have already been through the training. The probability of becoming involved in a LIC operation is high. Thepotential to attract international attention, even with limited forces, is alsogreat. U nits have demonstrated that with a balanced training focus andproper preparation, many pitfalls outlined above can be avoided. LIC is not conventional warfare. This is critical for the counterinsurgent to understand. The insurgent¶s violent and coercive strategy is applied so asto achieve political, civil, military and psychological results. Hence, the counterinsurgent must counter all of these strategic elements individually.In addition, the target of the insurgent¶s violence and coercion is the population. This isbecause the population is the centre of gravity in LIC. Therefore the counterinsurgentmust also focus on the population to be successful. In terms of military principles incounterinsurgency, doctrinal precision, professionalism, independence, initiative, forceprecision, restraint, combined arms, precision engagement, joint force, effectivepopulation based intelligence, integrated communications, a civil affairs approach andhigh levels of training are critical.
