MEANING
‘Life Insurance is a contract for payment of a sum of money to the person assured (or
failing him/her, to the person entitled to receive the same) on the happening of the event insured
against.’ Usually the insurance contract provides for the payment of an amount on the date of
maturity or at specified dates at periodic intervals or at unfortunate death if it occurs earlier.
Obviously, there is a price to be paid for this benefit. Among other things, the contract also
provides for the payment of premiums by the assured.
The need for life insurance comes from the need to safeguard our family. If you care for
your family’s needs you will definitely consider insurance. Today insurance has become even
more important due to the disintegration of the prevalent joint family system, a system in which
a number of generations co-existed in harmony, and a system in which a sense of financial
security was always there as there were more earning members.
Insurance today has opened up new vistas for every section of society. Even for the
village farmer insurance holds a lot of potential. Considering how dependent our agricultural
system is on the monsoon, the farmer sees a dim future. The uncertainty of the monsoon too can
be taken care of by insurance. Looking at the advantages of an insurance policy a number of
farmers have gone in for insurance. Insurance has become a necessity today. It provides timely
financial as also rewards with bonuses.
The proceeds accruing from Life Insurance policy can be utilized for:
PRESENT SCENARIO
The Life Insurance market in India is an underdeveloped market that was only tapped by
the state owned LIC till the entry of private insurers. The penetration of life insurance products
was 19 percent of the total 400 million of the insurable population. The state owned LIC sold
insurance as a tax instrument, not as a product giving protection. Most customers were under-
insured with no flexibility or transparency in the products. With the entry of the private insurers
the rules of the game have changed.
The 12 private insurers in the life insurance market have already grabbed nearly 9 percent
of the market in terms of premium income. The new business premiums of the 12 private players
has tripled to Rs 1000 crore in 2002- 03 over last year. Meanwhile, state owned LIC's new
premium business has fallen.
The growing popularity of the private insurers shows in other ways. They are coining money in
new niches that they have introduced. The state owned companies still dominate segments like
endowments and money back policies. But in the annuity or pension products business, the
private insurers have already wrested over 33 percent of the market. And in the popular unit-
linked insurance schemes they have a virtual monopoly, with over 90 percent of the
customers.The private insurers also seem to be scoring big in other ways- they are persuading
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
The history of life insurance in India dates back to 1818 when it was conceived as a
means to provide for English Widows. Interestingly in those days a higher premium was charged
for Indian lives than the non-Indian lives as Indian lives were considered more riskier for
coverage.
The Bombay Mutual Life Insurance Society started its business in 1870. It was the first
company to charge same premium for both Indian and non-Indian lives. The Oriental Assurance
Company was established in 1880. The General insurance business in India, on the other hand,
can trace its roots to the Triton (Tital) Insurance Company Limited, the first general insurance
company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British. Till the end of nineteenth
century insurance business was almost entirely in the hands of overseas companies.
Insurance regulation formally began in India with the passing of the Life Insurance
Companies Act of 1912 and the provident fund Act of 1912. Several frauds during 20's and 30's
sullied insurance business in India. By 1938 there were 176 insurance companies. The first
comprehensive legislation was introduced with the Insurance Act of 1938 that provided strict
State Control over insurance business. The insurance business grew at a faster pace after
independence. Indian companies strengthened their hold on this business but despite the growth
that was witnessed, insurance remained an urban phenomenon.
The Government of India in 1956, brought together over 240 private life insurers and
provident societies under one nationalized monopoly corporation and Life Insurance Corporation
(LIC) was born. Nationalization was justified on the grounds that it would create much needed
funds for rapid industrialization. This was in conformity with the Government's chosen path of
The insurance business continued to thrive with the private sector till 1972. Their
operations were restricted to organized trade and industry in large cities. The general insurance
industry was nationalized in 1972.
1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life
insurance business.
1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect
statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.
1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with the objective of
protecting the interests of the insuring public.
1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over by the central
government and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament- LIC Act 1956- with a capital
contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.
In 1993, Malhotra Committee- headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI Governor
R.N. Malhotra- was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommend its future
direction. The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of complementing the reforms
initiated in the financial sector. The reforms were aimed at creating a more efficient and
competitive financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in mind the
structural changes currently underway and recognizing that insurance is an important part of the
overall financial system where it was necessary to address the need for similar reforms.
In 1994, the committee submitted the report and some of the key recommendations included:
i) Structure
Government stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%. Government should
take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries so that these subsidiaries can act as
independent corporations. All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to
operate.
ii) Competition
Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs.1bn should be allowed to enter the
sector. No Company should deal in both Life and General Insurance through a single entity.
Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the domestic
companies.
Postal Life Insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market. Only one State Level Life
Insurance Company should be allowed to operate in each state.
iv) Investments
Mandatory Investments of LIC Life Fund in government securities to be reduced from 75% to
50%. GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5% in any company (there current
holdings to be brought down to this level over a period of time)
v) Customer Service
LIC should pay interest on delays in payments beyond 30 days. Insurance companies must be
encouraged to set up unit linked pension plans. Computerization of operations and updating of
technology to be carried out in the insurance industry.
The committee emphasized that in order to improve the customer services and increase
the coverage of insurance policies, industry should be opened up to competition. But at the same
time, the committee felt the need to exercise caution as any failure on the part of new players
could ruin the public confidence in the industry. Hence, it was decided to allow competition in a
limited way by stipulating the minimum capital requirement of Rs.100 crores.
The committee felt the need to provide greater autonomy to insurance companies in order
to improve their performance and enable them to act as independent companies with economic
motives. For this purpose, it had proposed setting up an independent regulatory body- The
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority.
Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA Bill in
Parliament in December 1999. The IRDA since its incorporation as a statutory body in April
2000 has fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulations and registering the private
sector insurance companies. Since being set up as an independent statutory body the IRDA has
put in a framework of globally compatible regulations. The other decision taken simultaneously
to provide the supporting systems to the insurance sector and in particular the life insurance
companies was the launch of the IRDA online service for issue and renewal of licenses to agents.
The approval of institutions for imparting training to agents has also ensured that the insurance
Few men in history have made as dramatic a contribution to their countrys economic
fortunes as did the founder of Reliance, Sh. Dhirubhai H Ambani. Fewer still have left behind a
legacy that is more enduring and timeless
As with all great pioneers, there is more than one unique way of describing the true
genius of Dhirubhai: The corporate visionary, the unmatched strategist, the proud patriot, the
leader of men, the architect of India’s capital markets, the champion of shareholder interest.
But the role Dhirubhai cherished most was perhaps that of India’s greatest wealth creator.
In one lifetime, he built, starting from the proverbial scratch, India’s largest private sector
enterprise.
When Dhirubhai embarked on his first business venture, he had a seed capital of barely
US$ 300 (around Rs 14,000). Over the next three and a half decades, he converted this fledgling
enterprise into a Rs 60,000 crore colossus—an achievement which earned Reliance a place on
the global Fortune 500 list, the first ever Indian private company to do so.
Dhirubhai is widely regarded as the father of India’s capital markets. In 1977, when
Reliance Textile Industries Limited first went public, the Indian stock market was a place
patronised by a small club of elite investors which dabbled in a handful of stocks.
Under Dhirubhai’s extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripted one of the
greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to become
India’s largest private sector enterprise.
Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary
shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the initial
investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the world’s largest shareholder families.
Reliance Life Insurance Company Limited is a part of Reliance Capital Ltd. of the
Reliance - Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. Reliance Capital is one of India’s leading private
sector financial services companies, and ranks among the top 3 private sector financial services
and banking companies, in terms of net worth. Reliance Capital has interests in asset
management and mutual funds, stock broking, life and general insurance, proprietary

Reliance Aviva ICICI Any Other
As Reliance Life Insurance Company is a very new private company in insurance industry. Therefore, it
has hardly 5% of customers as far as my survey is concerned. But the policies of the reliance life
insurance company are very good. Thus in future it will grow at a faster rate.
Aviva life insurance company is also a private company & new in insurance sector. From the survey that
I had conducted it has 14% of customers.
As far as ICICI Prudential is concerned, it is very popular company & many people have it’s plans. It is
also very familiar to the general public. It’s a one of the leading private sector company in insurance
sector.
In 21st century there is a tremendous increase in private sector companies in any field. Private
companies have been trying their best from head to feet to expand their activities and business.
However they still have to keep patient as till they do not get public confidence even though they
are providing better return and services.
This is because that Public sector Companies have already captured the market & people have
more trust on public sector companies.

Most of the people have taken a policy between the age of 30-40. At the age of 20-30 there are many
few people have taken a policy.
"We could have a joint marketing campaign, a joint product offering, or we may simply
mine the data base to send mailers or make calls to Reliance mobile customers," said Mr K.V.
Srinivasan, Chief Operating Officer, Reliance Life Insurance.
However, a joint product or a co-branded solution would require approval from the
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority, he added.
Reliance Life Insurance officials, however, offered no comment when asked whether there
would be an arrangement for payment of commission to Reliance Communications.
As an alternative channel for distribution, insurance companies usually tie up with banks.
In the case of bancassurance, where there is a corporate agency tie-up, the commission could
range from 5 per cent to 40 per cent of first-year premium depending on the commission loaded
on to the product at the time of registration with IRDA.
Mr. P. Nandagopal, CEO, Reliance Life, said that the company hoped to break even by
2009-2010.
It registered a growth of 627 per cent in Q1 of the current fiscal, its new business premium
touching Rs 132 crores.
"We would like to keep our portfolio balanced with 50 per cent from Unit linked plans and
the rest from traditional products," said Mr. Nandakumar.
The company would follow a multi-pronged distribution network. "We have an agency
force of 30,000; and we are in talks with banks for bancassurance as a distribution channel," he
said.
Reliance Life Insurance on Thursday launched an endowment plan with a 15-year term and
a maximum sum-assured of up to Rs 10 lakhs. Called `Connected to Life', the policy does not
require customers to undergo a medical check.
7. CONCLUSION
I hope that this project has stipulated the reader’s interest in the term of reliance life
insurance company and their products. I have certainly found the task of organizing my
New instruments are being developed at an emerging pace. There can be little doubt the
important new ideas and new results will continue to emerge. From this project I had come to
know about insurance products and how they work in life. Insurance companies are growing at a
faster pace. There is an immense competition in insurance market. To survive in the competitive
market one have to bring new products, services, plans & policies to attract customers and to
satisfy their needs & wants.
At last I want to say, Reliance Life Insurance Company is a new company and any new
company will take a time to popular in the market. So, Reliance will also take a time to number
one in the insurance industry.
