PREFACE

The life insurance industry is one of the most important sectors of the financial
market. It plays a crucial role in providing financial security to individuals and
families in times of need. Over the years, the life insurance industry has evolved
significantly, and today, there are a multitude of insurance products available to
consumers.

Consumer satisfaction is a critical aspect of any industry, and the life insurance
sector is no exception. Understanding the level of satisfaction among consumers
is essential for insurance companies to improve their services and develop prod-
ucts that meet the needs of their customers. With this in mind, we have under-
taken a project to study the consumer satisfaction of life insurance in detail.

The primary objective of our project is to gather insights into the factors that in-
fluence consumer satisfaction with life insurance. To achieve this goal, we have
conducted extensive research and analysis, including surveys, interviews, and
data analysis of existing literature on the subject.

This project aims to provide valuable insights to the life insurance industry by
identifying areas of improvement and highlighting best practices. It is our hope
that the findings of this study will contribute to the overall improvement of the
life insurance industry and ultimately benefit consumers by providing them with
better products and services.

We would like to express our gratitude to all the individuals and organizations
who have contributed to this project. Their cooperation and support have been in-
valuable in enabling us to achieve our objectives. We hope that this project will
serve as a useful resource for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders inter-
ested in understanding consumer satisfaction in the life insurance industry.

1.1 Introduction of Life Insurance

Meaning of Life Insurance

Life insurance is one of the most efficient assets available for intergenerational wealth transfer.

In the Trust Owned Life Insurance (TOLI) world, life insurance is a tool to leverage assets to the
next generation in a tax efficient manner.

Life insurance is a risk pooling method with certain singular characteristics.

Life insurance was initially designed to replace the income that is lost to dependents in the event
of the death of the primary income-producer.1

The Pricing Structure of Life Insurance

The three primary pricing elements in all life insurance are:

 Mortality
 Interest
 Loading

The first two (mortality and interest) are used to compute the net premium, which is the cost of
claims. The net premium plus the expense loading is the gross premium, or the selling price of
the contract.

Mortality is simply the probability of living or dying at any given age. Based on past experience
actuaries can predict the number of deaths among a large group of insureds. The pure mortality
costs in life insurance have decreased dramatically over the years as medical advances and life
style changes have increased the average life span. The Commissioner‘s Mortality Table adapted
in 2001 pushed the mortality table out past age 100.

Since the insurance company collects premiums in advance to pay out at a future date, it has the
use of the money for a period of time. For this reason, the interest earned on that money becomes
a part of the insurance cost equation.

Types of Life Insurance

There are two basic types of life insurance.

 Term Insurance
 Whole Life Insurance

Term Insurance

Term insurance covers insured for a term of one or more years. It pays a death benefit only if
insured die in that term. Term insurance generally offers the largest insurance protection for
insured premium dollar. It generally does not build up cash value, and it may not be renewable at
the end of the term or may cost considerably more to continue.

Term insurance is the easiest life insurance to understand. Insured pay a premium for a death
benefit only. Level Term insurance coverage is usually for a specified period of time. The
insurance carrier provides coverage for a specific period (up to 30 years) for a level premium,
which is usually guaranteed, after which the coverage is often dropped.

Term insurance policies often contain a conversion provision. This allows the insured the option
to convert the Term policy to a Permanent policy at current age and insurance rates, without
providing evidence of insurability. This is a very important provision, especially if the
policyholder has suffered a change in health.

Term insurance is typically used for short term coverage. Often it is used for those who have a
large insurance need but lack the cash flow currently and will convert the coverage to Permanent
coverage in the future.

Whole Life Insurance

Whole Life insurance goes by several names, such as universal life, variable universal life and
whole life. Permanent insurance provides long-term financial protection. These policies include

SHRI B H GANDHI BBA COLLEGE,MODASA 3


both a death benefit and, in some cases, cash savings. Because of the savings element, premiums
tend to be higher.

A Whole Life policy provides a guaranteed death benefit as long as premiums are paid, as well
as a guaranteed cash value. Most Whole Life policies also provide for additional cash value
through dividends.

Whole Life insurance was easy for actuaries to design. Similar to 10 or 20 year level Term
premiums, the Whole Life premium is the result of an actuarial calculation that levels the
increasing mortality costs and spreads them over the life of the policyholder.

A part of the return earned on the insurance company investment portfolio can be returned to the
policyholder. Whole Life policies are either participating or non-participating.

In a non-participating policy the policyholder receives a guaranteed cash value only as stipulated
in the contract. If a non-participating policy happens to be profitable, the profits will be returned
to the shareholders - since non-participating policies are usually issued by stock companies.

Participating Whole Life policies are issued by Mutual companies. Mutual insurance companies
are owned by the policy owners. Participating polices provide contractually guaranteed cash
values, as well as dividends. The dividends are considered to be a return of premium and are paid
when premiums received turn out to be more than the company needs, because fewer insured‘s
die, expenses are lower, or portfolio returns are more than expected. Dividends can fluctuate
above and below. Since it is relatively easy to predict both how many insured‘s will die in a
particular year and the expenses associated with a life insurance contract, the greatest
determining factor in a dividend scale will typically be the investment results in the General
Account.

The dividends that are earned on a policy can be used in a number of ways. They can be used to
reduce the future premium that is to be paid. By this method a policyholder can ―vanish‖ a
premium, as long as dividends remain sufficient to pay the policy premium. Dividends can also
be taken in cash or used to purchase additional insurance (paid up additions).It should be
understood that when a policy premium is expected to be paid by dividends this expectation is
based on an assumption that may or may not come true. Too often, it is assumed that a policy

SHRI B H GANDHI BBA COLLEGE,MODASA 4


will become ―paid up‖ at some point in time only to have dividends drop, necessitating the
payment of additional premiums.

Whole Life policies have fixed premiums, premium does not always have to be paid out of
pocket. As we mentioned, dividends can pay the premium or even a portion of the premium. The
premium can also be paid from the cash value of ―paid up additions‖ those little paid up policies
within the contract that are purchased with dividends. If the dividend or other sources are not
enough to pay the policy premium, the premium can be paid by a policy loan.

Whole Life insurance is a fixed premium product. The insurance company issues a premium
based on age, sex and health. The stated premium cannot be increased. As long as the premium is
paid, the death benefit is guaranteed. The investment portion of the contract has a guaranteed
cash value and a dividend that can be used to decrease the number of years of premiums paid.
The unique advantage of Whole Life insurance is that lifelong insurance coverage can be
purchased for a guaranteed, level premium, with the underlying investment backing the coverage
being managed by professionals. The insurance company portfolio is invested in a manner
designed to provide a stable and historically consistent result.2

Factors Affect Life Insurance Premiums

1. The age insured purchase their policy


The older they are, the more expensive the premiums.
2. Insured’s overall health
Life insurance companies typically ask them about their medical history, request access
to medical records and even obtain blood and urine samples for testing.
3. Pre-existing and/or chronic health problems
Such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer or sexually transmitted diseases may prevent
insured from getting life insurance or place them in a high-risk pool at greater cost.
4. Poor health habits
Such as smoking and excessive drinking. Be aware that insurance companies may look
back and consider these behaviors for the past five years.
5. Engaging in dangerous hobbies
Such as skydiving, skiing or rock climbing
6. Insured’s driving record
In terms of accidents, DWI citations, claims and tickets. The better their record, the better
rates they will receive for their life insurance.
7. Insured’s geographic area
Life insurance companies have access to regional data that document mortality rates and
life expectancy, and they use that data to calculate the rates they offer.3

1.2 Global scenario of Life Insurance

The global insurance industry is one of the largest sectors of finance. It ranges from consumer to
corporate and industrial insurance, and even reinsurance, or insurance of insurance.

The major insurance markets of the world are obviously the US, Europe, Japan, and South
Korea. Emerging markets are found throughout Asia, specifically in India and China, and are
also in Latin America.

With the internet and other forms of high-speed communication, companies and individuals are
now able to purchase insurance and related financial products from almost anywhere in the
world. Increasing affluence, especially in developing countries, and a rising understanding of the
need to protect wealth and human capital has led to significant growth in the insurance industry.

Given the evolving and growing socio-economic conditions worldwide, insurance companies are
increasingly reaching out across borders and are offering more competitive and customized
products than ever before.

Global insurance platform has witnessed a phenomenal change over the past decade. The forces
of globalization and liberalization have brought the insurance companies across the world closer
to each other than ever before. The insurance landscape has changed significantly over the years
due to many unforeseen incidents around the world like 9/11, SARS, derailment of corporate
governance, natural disasters like Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina etc. Outsourcing is another major
development in the insurance sector. Waning margins, massive claims disbursement and
increasing competition in recent years, especially post 9/11, have compelled insurance
companies to opt for outsourcing, to improve efficiency and channelize resources towards the
core functions like product development and innovation.

Over the past ten years, global insurance premiums have risen by more than 50%, with annual
growth rates ranging between 2 and 10%. In 2004, global insurance premiums amounted to $3.3
trillion. The global insurance market grew by 7.6% in 2007 to reach a value of $3,688.9 billion.

SHRI B H GANDHI BBA COLLEGE,MODASA 7


In 2012, the global insurance market is forecast to have a value of $4,608.5 billion, an increase
of 24.9% since 2007. Life insurance dominates the global insurance market, accounting for
59.7% of the market′s value. Europe accounts for 39.3% of the global insurance market′s value.
AXA generates 4.4% of the global insurance market‘s value.

Top ten global insurance companies are American intl group (USA), AXA group (France),
Allianz worldwide (Germany), Manulife financial (Japan), General Group (Italy), Prudential
financial (United States), Met life (United States), Aviva (United Kingdom) and Aegon
(Netherland).4

The majority of life insurance policies around the world can be classified into three general
categories: (1) policies providing death coverage only;(2) policies providing both a death
coverage and a savings component; and, (3) policies serving primarily as saving vehicles. What
are known as term policies in the U.S. fall within the first category. Premiums for these policies
essentially cover the cost of mortality risk, administrative expenses and a profit loading. Policies
in the second category, popularized as whole life, universal life, and variable life in the U.S.,
generally have higher premiums that include an explicitly or implicitly defined savings
component. This additional component typically earns interest and is returned to the consumer
through policy dividends, cash-values on termination of the policy, or endowment sum on
maturation of the policy. Policies in the third category, which are not common in the U.S. but
have been popularized in other countries, are primarily savings vehicles. While they offer little or
no mortality coverage, they are often considered life insurance policies since they are marketed
and sold by life insurers.5

1.3 Indian scenario of Life Insurance

In India, insurance has a deep-rooted history. It finds mention in the writings of Manu
(Manusmrithi ), Yagnavalkya ( Dharmasastra ) and Kautilya ( Arthasastra ). The writings talk in
terms of pooling of resources that could be re-distributed in times of calamities such as fire,
floods, epidemics and famine. This was probably a pre-cursor to modern day insurance. Ancient
Indian history has preserved the earliest traces of insurance in the form of marine trade loans and
carriers‘ contracts. Insurance in India has evolved over time heavily drawing from other
countries, England in particular.

1818 saw the advent of life insurance business in India with the establishment of the Oriental
Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. This Company however failed in 1834. In 1829, the
Madras Equitable had begun transacting life insurance business in the Madras Presidency. 1870
saw the enactment of the British Insurance Act and in the last three decades of the nineteenth
century, the Bombay Mutual (1871), Oriental (1874) and Empire of India (1897) were started in
the Bombay Residency. This era, however, was dominated by foreign insurance offices which
did good business in India, namely Albert Life Assurance, Royal Insurance, Liverpool and
London Globe Insurance and the Indian offices were up for hard competition from the foreign
companies.

In 1914, the Government of India started publishing returns of Insurance Companies in India.
The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act, 1912 was the first statutory measure to regulate life
business. In 1928, the Indian Insurance Companies Act was enacted to enable the Government to
collect statistical information about both life and non-life business transacted in India by Indian
and foreign insurers including provident insurance societies. In 1938, with a view to protecting
the interest of the Insurance public, the earlier legislation was consolidated and amended by the
Insurance Act, 1938 with comprehensive provisions for effective control over the activities of
insurers.

The Insurance Amendment Act of 1950 abolished Principal Agencies. However, there were a
large number of insurance companies and the level of competition was high. There were also

SHRI B H GANDHI BBA COLLEGE,MODASA 9


allegations of unfair trade practices. The Government of India, therefore, decided to nationalize
insurance business.

An Ordinance was issued on 19th January, 1956 nationalizing the Life Insurance sector and Life
Insurance Corporation came into existence in the same year. The LIC absorbed 154 Indian, 16
non-Indian insurers as also 75 provident societies—245 Indian and foreign insurers in all. The
LIC had monopoly till the late 90s when the Insurance sector was reopened to the private sector.6

Life Insurance is the fastest growing sector in India since 2000 as Government allowed Private
players and FDI up to 26% and recently Cabinet approved a proposal to increase it to 49%. Life
Insurance in India was nationalized by incorporating Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) in 1956.
All private life insurance companies at that time were taken over by LIC.

In 1993, the Government of India appointed RN Malhotra Committee to lay down a road map for
privatization of the life insurance sector.

While the committee submitted its report in 1994, it took another six years before the enabling
legislation was passed in the year 2000, legislation amending the Insurance Act of 1938 and
legislating the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act of 2000. The same year the
newly appointed insurance regulator - Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
IRDA—started issuing licenses to private life insurers.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy in Insurance Sector

As per the current (March 2006) FDI norms, foreign participation in an Indian insurance
company is restricted to 26.0% of its equity / ordinary share capital. The Insurance Regulator has
stipulated that foreign investment in Indian Insurance companies be limited to 26% of total
equity issued (FDI limit) with the balance being funded by Indian promoter entities. The limit to
foreign investment includes both direct and indirect investment and has been a cause of
significant lobbying by foreign insurance companies for a change in regulations to increase the
FDI limit to 49% of equity issued.

The Indian government has supported an increase in the FDI limit, which requires a change in
the Insurance Act. The Union Budget for fiscal 2005 had recommended that the ceiling on
foreign holding be increased to 49.0%.

A change in the Insurance Act requires a passage of the bill in both houses of Parliament. The
Indian government has tabled the bill in the Upper House of Parliament in August 2010.

Initial Public Offer (IPO) rules for Indian Life Insurance Companies

A key piece of legislation impacting on the Life Insurance industries capital raising abilities is
the lock-in period of 10 years for investment to be limited to promoter group equity investments.
Under the Insurance Guidelines, Indian Life Insurance companies can opt for a public issue of
equity through an Initial Public Offer (IPO) after 10 years of operations.

In October 2010, the securities market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI),
issued disclosure norms for Indian Life Insurance Companies seeking to make an initial public
offer for sale of equity shares to the public.7

1.5 Product profile of Life Insurance in India

Life insurance products come in a variety of offerings catering to the investment needs and
objectives of different kinds of investors. Following is the list of broad categories of life
insurance products:

 Term Insurance Policies

The basic premise of a term insurance policy is to secure the immediate needs of nominees or
beneficiaries in the event of sudden or unfortunate demise of the policy holder. The policy holder
does not get any monetary benefit at the end of the policy term except for the tax benefits he or
she can choose to avail of throughout the tenure of the policy. In the event of death of the policy
holder, the sum assured is paid to his or her beneficiaries. Term insurance policies are also
relatively cheap to acquire compared to other insurance products.

 Money-back Policies

Money back policies are basically an extension of endowment plans wherein the policy holder
receives a fixed amount at specific intervals throughout the duration of the policy. In the event of
the unfortunate death of the policy holder, the full sum assured is paid to the beneficiaries. The
terms again might slightly vary from one insurance company to another.

 Unit-linked Insurance Policies (ULIP)

Unit linked insurance policies again belong to the insurance-cum-investment category where one
gets to enjoy the benefits of both insurance and investment. While a part of the monthly premium
pay-out goes towards the insurance cover, the remaining money is invested in various types of

SHRI B H GANDHI BBA COLLEGE,MODASA 19


funds that invest in debt and equity instruments. ULIP plans are more or less similar in
comparison to mutual funds except for the difference that ULIPs offer the additional benefit of
insurance.

 Pension Policies

Pension policies let individuals determine a fixed stream of income post retirement. This
basically is a retirement planning investment scheme where the sum assured or the monthly pay-
out after retirement entirely depends on the capital invested, the investment timeframe, and the
age at which one wishes to retire. There are again several types of pension plans that cater to
different investment needs. Now it is recognized as insurance product and being regulated by
IRDA.10

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

It has been observed that insurance agents should constantly monitor the level of satisfaction
among his/her customers to keep themselves close to the customers for fulfilling their needs
(Joseph et al., 2003). Ennew et al. (1993) indicated that a comparison of mean scores on the
importance of service attributes provides a very effective method of measuring the ability of
services to meet the needs of the customers. Perceived service quality has a significant effect on
the attitude towards obtaining insurance (Arora and Stoner, 1996). Moreover, the degree of
success in the implementation of enterprise mobilization in the life insurance industry is
positively correlated to the management performance of external aspects like providing increased
customer satisfaction (Luarn et al., 2003).

Customer satisfaction and the salesperson‘s relation orientation significantly influences the
future business opportunities and as the salespersons are able to enhance their relationships with
the clients, clients are more satisfied and are more willing to trust, and thus secures the long-term
demand for the services (Tam and Wong, 2001).

According to Hellier et al. (2003) found that in insurance purchase brand preference is an
intervening factor between customer satisfactions and repurchase intention and the main factor
influencing the brand preference is the perceived value and customer satisfaction. The company
and agent‘s service quality as well as recommendations of friends are factors that significantly
affect decisions of purchasing life insurance policies (Chow-Chua and Lim, 2000).

According to Stafford et al. (1998) in a study on auto-casualty industry proved that reliability is
consistently the most important determinant of both perceived service quality and feelings of
satisfaction among customers engaged in auto-insurance claims. No such study has been carried
out in the area of life insurance. Given the importance of the life insurance industry in India in
terms of increasing market size, growing competition and the share of the total insurance
premium market, this paper attempts to identify the service quality dimensions which contribute
to the maximum customer satisfaction in the life insurance industry of India. Objective the
objective of the study is to identify the dimension/s of service quality that ensures maximum
satisfaction for the customers in the life insurance industry.

SHRI B H GANDHI BBA COLLEGE,MODASA 21


According to Lawler Edward (1995) explained that companies are successful which possess
quality service in the top of their vision list. Protective Life Insurance Company depended on
Loma‘s FOCUS Customer Service Survey to get feedback from customers on how they were
being served. They measured customer satisfaction differently and determined the most common
causes for customer dissatisfaction and to eliminate them. The Insurance companies basically
have similar products, similar services, and similar technology. In fact, everything the company
does was tied to its core values which inurn tied with its employee‘s performance. Employees
agree with this continuous improvement process. They conclude as people never like to buy
insurance, so service provider must make it as easy and pleasant as possible and that was one
focus of continuous improvement in service provided for the benefit of the customer.

According to Gregory A. Kuhlemeyer (1999) conducted a research on consumer satisfaction


relevant to the purchase of life insurance products and compares satisfaction in an agent assisted
transaction with satisfaction when no agent is used. Benchmarks, Identified for consumer
satisfaction, are the life insurance product, the agent, and the institution. The hypothesis of the
study was that, consumer satisfaction with the life insurance purchase is primarily a function of
the trust of a policy holder on his agent or on the insurance company, agent's competence, the
product selected by the consumer, the financial safety, and fulfillment of consumer goals.

Duncan I.Simester (1999) described two related quasi-experiments, one in the United States and
one in Spain, in which a sophisticated, high-technology firm designed and implemented
customer-satisfaction improvement programs. Although the interventions implemented in the
two countries are differed in some respects, both interventions were targeted at five targeted
customer needs and the same type of business-to-business customers are selected. In each
country, the programs were implemented in ‗treatment‘ regions, but not in ‗control‘ regions and
the firm collected pre-test and post-test satisfaction measures for targeted and non-targeted
needs.

According to Tom Moormann (1999) explored how the life insurance industry is addressing the
issue of measuring customer satisfaction as satisfied customers are vitally important to life
insurance companies, where retention plays a large role in determining a company‘s revenue
stream, and ultimately its profitability.

Stephen Diacon and Chris O’Brien (2002) conducted a study to determine the nature of
systematic differences in persistency according to company size, efficiency, and ownership
structure. Good persistency was also of vital importance to the financial performance of life
insurance companies. Early withdrawal often means that product providers are unable to recoup
their business acquisition expenses.

According to Nina L Reynolds (2005) discussed several types of equivalence that need to be
considered to assess the comparability of the construct of Customer Satisfaction / Dissatisfaction
(CS/D) cross nationally. If CS/D equivalence was not rigorously established, using CS/D as a
culture -free input variable may result in international marketing strategies that were sub-
optimal. In order to establish CS/D equivalence, the analysis conducted at three levels namely
the antecedent factors, CS/D formation process and the behavioral outcomes. They concluded
that the axiomatic assumption of higher the level of customers satisfaction, higher the brand
loyalty and the customer retention rates and which may not be culturally free. The author found
that this assumption holds true in international markets and it will allow marketing managers to
perform successfully.

According to Jagannath and Santhosh Singh Bais (2006) analyzed that customer satisfaction is
of paramount importance to all the insurance companies in general and life insurance companies
in particular. The authors have identified and discussed the issues and challenges such as the
regulatory framework, simplification and rationalization of insurance laws. They concluded that
the success would depend on the LIC of India‘s ability to understand the customer needs and
offer the services at the lowest prices with best quality.11

Interpretation:

Skew is a measure of symmetry. In our Test, analyze that skewness of distribution is greater than
0.00. A normal distribution has skewness = 0. So we can say that our distribution is not
symmetric. Kurtosis is a measure of peakeness and the fat-tails that associate with less density in
the middle. A normal distribution has kurtosis = 3.0 or excess. Here the data on age, sex,
education, occupation and income of the respondent and data of Kurtosis & Skewness are not at
0 so from that it can be said that the data are not normally distributed and further test can be
applied.
