In my training Period, I have focused mainly on two products


of Bajaj Allianz Life

Insurance company: “New Family Gain and New Unit Gain”.

NEW FAMILY GAIN

In this product, the minimum premium which is to be paid by


the customer is Rs.5000.

7
The maximum premium for this product is Rs.10000.The policy
term is 10 years.

The Sum Assured is Rs. 50000 or the Fund Value which ever is
higher.

It is a unit linked plan and the Lock-in period is 3 years. After 3


years the customer can withdraw 75% or whole amount but
surrender charges will be taken. After 5 years no surrender
charges will be charged.

In this product customer has the facility of getting a premium


holiday for 2 years after 3 years have been completed and if he
withdraws after 5 years he will get Rs. 30000.

The customer will get benefit of Section 80C and Section


10(10D) of Income tax. Under Section 80 C the customer will
get Tax rebate and under Section 10(10D) he will get tax free
maturity gains.

NEW UNIT GAIN

In this product, the minimum premium which is to be paid by


the customer is Rs.10000.

The maximum premium for this product has no limit. The


policy term is 10 years.

The Sum Assured is 5 times the premium amount or the Fund


Value which ever is higher.

It is a unit linked plan and the Lock-in period is 3 years. After 3


years the customer can withdraw 75% or whole amount but
surrender charges will be taken. After 5 years there are no
surrender charges

8
In this product customer has the facility of getting a premium
holiday for 2 years after 3 years have been completed and if he
withdraws after 5 years he will get Rs. 60000.

The customer will get benefit of Section 80C and Section


10(10D) of Income tax. Under Section 80 C the customer will
get Tax rebate and under Section 10(10D) he will get tax free

Human Life Value Concept

This concept tells about value of a human life, particularly when


he/she is a earning member of the family. Suppose a person is 30
years old and has a fixed monthly income of Rs. 10000 and if
retires at the age of 60 then he will earn about 36 lakh in those 30
years. Unfortunately if he/she dies at the age of 32 his family
members will have a financial loss, so to minimize the loss
occurred due to the death of the earning member, one should have
insurance of about 36 lakh.

Fixed Deposit compared with Insurance


policy

In fixed deposit money is locked in for 5 or more years and in


Insurance Policy money is locked in only for 3 years.

In fixed deposit, at maturity TDS (Tax deduction at source) is


deducted but in Insurance policy, maturity amount is tax free under
Section 10(10D).

In fixed deposit the rate of return is about 8-10% but in Insurance


policy rate of return is 15% or more.

9
In Fixed deposit, no life insurance is given but in Insurance policy
life insurance is given.

In the training period, I have tried to inform people about the


products of Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance. I have met different
people like:
Salaried people
Businessmen
Chartered Accountants
Lawyers
Doctors
Engineers
Housewives

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

1) To know the consumer responses about Bajaj Allianz

life insurance policy.

2) To know about the products of Bajaj Allianz Life

Insurance.

3) To know about the objections of people for not taking

the Insurance policy.

4) To know the need for Life Insurance.


5) To know the benefits of Life Insurance.

10
6) To know the market share of Bajaj Allianz Life
Insurance in the Market.

MEANING OF INSURANCE
Insurance may be described as a social device to
reduce or eliminate risk of loss to life and property.
Insurance is a collective bearing of risk. Insurance is
a financial device to spread the risks and losses of
few people among a large number of people, as
people prefer small fixed liability instead of big,
uncertain and changing liability.
Insurance can be defined as a “legal contract
between two parties whereby one party called
insurer undertakes to pay a fixed amount of money
on the happening of a particular event, which may be
certain or uncertain.” The other party called insured
pays in exchange a fixed sum known as premium.
Insurance is desired to safeguard oneself and one’s
family against possible losses on account of risks and
perils. It provides financial compensation for the
losses suffered due to the happening of any
unforeseen events.

IMPORTANCE OF INSURANCE

Insurance constitutes one of the major segments of


the financial market.
Insurance services play predominant role in the
process of financial intermediary. Today insurance
industry is one of the most growing sectors in India.
There is lot of potential in the Indian Insurance
Industry.

11
There are many issues, which require study. The
scope of the study of Insurance industry of India
would be very great as there are ongoing
developments in the industry after the opening of the
sector.
The major issue right now is the hike in FDI (Foreign
Direct Investment) limit from 26% to 49% in the
insurance sector. In near future Government may
allow 49% FDI in Insurance. This would lead to more
capital inflow by foreign partners.

Another major issue is the effects on LIC after the


entry of private players in the market. Though
market share of LIC has been affected, it has
improved in terms of efficiency.
There are number of other hot topics like penetration
of Health Insurance, Rural marketing of insurance,
new distribution channels, new product ranges,
insurance brokers’ regulation, incentive scheme of
development officers of LIC etc. So it offers lot of
scope for studying the insurance industry.
Right now the insurance industry has great
opportunities in countries like India or China which
have huge population. Also the penetration of
insurance in India is very low in both life and non-life
segment so there is lot potential to be tapped.
Before starting the discussion on insurance industry
and related issues, we have to start with the basics
of insurance. So first we understand what is Insurance?
How the word ‘insurance’ is different from the word
‘Assurance’? etc.

12
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INSURANCE AND
ASSURANCE
Assurance is older in history and it was used to
describe all types of Insurance. From 1826, the term
assurance came to be used only for the risks covered
by life insurance and the term insurance was
exclusively used to denote the risks covered by
marine, fire, etc.
The word assurance indicated certainty. In life
insurance, there is an assurance from the insurance
company to make payment under the policy either
on the maturity or at earlier death. On the other
hand the word insurance was used to denote
indemnity type of insurance where the insurance
company was liable to pay only in case of the loss
damage the property.
The insured event was bound to happen sooner or
later under assurance but the event insured against
may or may not happen under insurance.
The principle of “indemnity” applies to “insurance
contracts” (non-life) only. The scope of the word,
insurance is wider.

PRINCIPLES OF INSURANCE

An insurance contract is based on some basic


principles of insurance.
(1) Principle of utmost good faith
It means “maximum truth”. Both the parties
should disclose
all material information regarding the subject
matter of
Insurance.

13
(2) Principle of indemnity
This means that if the insured suffers a loss
against which the policy has been made, he shall be
fully indemnified only to the extent of loss. In other
words, the insured is not entitled to make a profit on
his loss.
(3) Principle of subrogation
This means the insurer has the right to stand in the
place of the insured after settlement of claims in so
far as the insured’s right of recovery from an
alternative source is involved. The insurer before the
settlement of the claim may exercise the right. In
other words, the insurer is entitled to recover from a
negligent third party any loss payments made to the
insured. The purposes of subrogation are to hold the
negligent person responsible for the loss and prevent
the insured from collecting twice for the same loss.
The concept of ‘Third Party Claims’ is based on the
same principle.
(4) Principle of causa proxima
The cause of loss must be direct and an insured one
in order to claim of compensation.
(5) Principle of insurable interest
The assured must have insurance interest in the life
or property insured. Insurable interest is that interest
which considerably alters the position of the assured
in the event of loss taking place and if the event does
not take placed, he remains in the same old position.

HISTORY OF INSURANCE

The concept of insurance is believed to have


emerged almost 4500 years ago in the ancient land

14
of Babylonia where traders used to bear risk of the
carvan by giving loans, which were later repaid with
interest when the goods arrived safely.
The concept of insurance as we know today took
shape in 1688 at a place called Lloyd’s Coffee House
in London where risk bearers used to meet to
transact business. This coffee house became so
popular that Lloyd’s became the one of the first
modern insurance companies by the end of the
eighteenth century.
Marine insurance companies came into existence by
the end of the
eighteenth century. These companies were
empowered to write fire and life insurance as well as
marine. The Great Fire of London in 1966 caused
huge loss of property and life. With a view to
providing fire insurance facilities, Dr. Nicholas Barbon
set up in 1967 the first fire insurance company
known
as the Fire Office.

The early history of insurance in India can be traced


back to the Vedas. The Sanskrit term ‘Yogakshema’
(meaning well being), the name of Life Insurance
Corporation of India’s corporate headquarters, is
found in the Rig Veda. The Aryans practiced some
form of ‘community insurance’ around 1000 BC.
Life insurance in its modern form came to India from
England in 1818. The Oriental Life Insurance
Company was the first insurance company to be set
up in India to help the widows of European
community. The insurance companies, which came
into existence between 1818 and 1869, treated
Indian lives as subnormal and charged an extra

15
premium of 15 to 20 percent. The first Indian
insurance company, the Bombay Mutual Life
Assurance Society, came into existence in 1870 to
cover Indian lives at normal rates.
The Insurance Act, 1938, the first comprehensive
legislation governing both life and non-life branches
of insurance were enacted to provide strict state
control over insurance business. This amended
insurance Act looked into investments, expenditure
and management of these companies.
By the mid- 1950s there were 154 Indian insurers, 16
foreign insurers, and 75 provident societies carrying
on life insurance business in India. Insurance
business flourished and so did scams, irregularities
and dubious investment practices by scores of
companies. As a result the government decided to
nationalize the life assurance business in India. The
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was set up in
1956. The nationalization of life
Insurance was followed by general insurance in 1972.

MEANING OF LIFE INSURANCE

17
There are three parties in a life insurance
transaction: the insurer, the insured, and the owner
of the policy (policyholder), although the owner and
the insured are often the same person.
Another important person involved in a life insurance
policy is the
beneficiary. The beneficiary is the person or persons
who will receive the policy proceeds upon the death
of the insured.
Life insurance may be divided into two basic classes
– term and permanent.
• Term life insurance provides for life insurance
coverage for a
specified term of years for a specified premium. The
policy does not
accumulate cash value.
• Permanent life insurance is life insurance that
remains in force until the policy matures, unless the
owner fails to pay the premium when it is due.
• Whole life insurance provides for a level premium,
and a cash value table included in the policy
guaranteed by the company. The primary advantages
of whole life are guaranteed death benefits,
guaranteed cash values, fixed and known annual
premiums, mortality and expense charges will not
reduce the cash value
shown in the policy.
• Universal life insurance (UL) is a relatively new
insurance product intended to provide permanent
insurance coverage with greater flexibility in
premium payment and the potential for a higher
internal rate of return. A universal life policy includes
a cash account. Premiums increase the cash account.

18
If you want insurance protection only, and not a
savings and investment product, buy a term life
insurance policy.
If you want to buy a whole life, universal life, or other
cash value policy, plan to hold it for at least 15 years.
Canceling these policies after only a few years can
more than double your Life insurance costs.

NEED FOR LIFE INSURANCE

You need Life Insurance because typically the need for income
continues for those who are financially dependent on you, but there
is no guarantee of your ability to earn consistently and for the rest
of your life. Life insurance can help you safeguard the financial
needs of your family.
This need has become even more important due to steady
disintegration of the prevalent joint family system, and emergence
of nuclear families. The need to protect your family's ever growing
needs is why you need Life Insurance.

Why Do I Need Life Insurance?


That’s a common question. Why would you need Insurance? Simply put,
Life brings with it many surprises, some pleasant and some not so and a Life
Insurance Plan ensures that you are better prepared to face uncertainties.
How? In a number of ways:

Protection
You need life insurance to be there and protect the people you love, making
sure that your family has a means to look after itself after you are gone. It is
a thoughtful business concept designed to protect the economic value of a
human life for the benefit of those financially dependent on him. That’s a
good reason.
Supposing you suffer an injury that keeps you from earning? Would you like
to be a financial burden on your family, already losing out on your salary?
With a life insurance policy, you are protected. Your family is protected.

19
Retirement
Life insurance makes sure that you have regular income after you retire and
also helps you maintain your standard of living. It can ensure that your post-
retirement years are spent in peace and comfort.

Savings and Investments


Insurance is a means to Save and Invest. Your periodic premiums are like
Savings and you are assured of a lump sum amount on maturity. A policy
can come in really handy at the time of your child’s education or marriage!
Besides, it can be used as supplemental retirement income!

Tax Benefits
Life insurance is one of the best tax saving options today. Your tax can be
saved twice on a life insurance policy-once when you pay your premiums
and once when you receive maturity benefits. Money saved is money
earned!

HISTORY OF LIFE INSURANCE

Risk protection has been a primary goal of humans


and institutions
throughout history. Protecting against risk is what
insurance is all about. Over 5000 years ago, in China,
insurance was seen as a preventative measure
against piracy on the sea. Piracy, in fact, was so
prevalent, that as a way of spreading the risk, a
number of ships would carry a portion of another
ship's cargo so that if one ship was captured, the
entire shipment would not be lost.

In another part of the world, nearly 4,500 years ago, in the


ancient land of

20
Babylonia, traders used to bear risk of the caravan trade by
giving loans that
had to be later repaid with interest when the goods arrived
safely. In 2100
BC, the Code of Hammurabi granted legal status to the
practice. It
formalized concepts of “bottomry” referring to vessel
bottoms and
“respondentia” referring to cargo. These provided the
underpinning for
marine insurance contracts. Such contracts contained three
elements: a loan
on the vessel, cargo, or freight; an interest rate; and a
surcharge to cover the
possibility of loss. In effect, ship owners were the insured
and lenders were
the underwriters.
Life insurance came about a little later in ancient Rome,
where burial clubs
were formed to cover the funeral expenses of its members,
as well as help
survivors monetarily. With Rome's fall, around 450 A.D., most
of the
concepts of insurance were abandoned, but aspects of it did
continue through
the Middle Ages, particularly with merchant and artisan
guilds. These
provided forms of member insurance covering risks like fire,
flood, theft,
disability, death, and even imprisonment.
During the feudal period, early forms of insurance ebbed
with the decline
of travel and long-distance trade. But during the 14th to 16th
centuries,
transportation, commerce, and insurance would again
reemerge.
Insurance in India can be traced back to the Vedas. For
instance,

21
Yogakshema, the name of Life Insurance Corporation of
India's corporate
headquarters is derived from the Rig Veda. The term
suggests that a form of
"community insurance" was prevalent around 1000 BC and
practiced by the
Aryans.
And similar to ancient Rome, burial societies were formed in
the Buddhist
period to help families build houses, and to protect widows
and children.

Modern Insurance

Illegal almost everywhere else in Europe, life insurance in


England was
vigorously promoted in the three decades following the
Glorious Revolution
of 1688. The type of insurance we see today owes its roots
to 17th century
England. Lloyd's of London, or as they were known then,
Lloyd's Coffee
House, was the location where merchants, ship owners and
underwriters met
to discuss and transact business deals.
While serving as a means of risk-avoidance, life insurance
also appealed
strongly to the gambling instincts of England's burgeoning
middle class.
Gambling was so rampant, in fact, that when newspapers
published names of
prominent people who were seriously ill, bets were placed at
Lloyd’s on
their anticipated dates of death. Reacting against such
practices, 79 merchant
underwriters broke away in 1769 and two years later formed
a “New Lloyd’s
Coffee House” that became known as the “real Lloyd’s.”
Making wagers on

22
people's deaths ceased in 1774 when parliament forbade the
practice.
Insurance moves to America
The U.S. insurance industry was built on the British model.
The year 1735
saw the birth of the first insurance company in the American
colonies in
Charleston, SC. The Presbyterian Synod of Philadelphia in
1759, sponsored
the first life insurance corporation in America for the benefit
of ministers
and their dependents. And the first life insurance policy for
the general
public in the United States was issued, in Philadelphia, on
May 22, 1761.
But it wasn't until 80 years later (after 1840), that life
insurance really took
off in a big way. The key to its success was reducing the
opposition from
religious groups.
In 1835, the infamous New York fire drew people's attention
to the need to
provide for sudden and large losses. Two years later,
Massachusetts became
the first state to require companies by law to maintain such
reserves. The
great Chicago fire of 1871 further emphasized how fires can
cause huge
losses in densely populated modern cities. The practice of
reinsurance,
wherein the risks are spread among several companies, was
devised
specifically for such situations.
With the creation of the automobile, public liability
insurance, which first
made its appearance in the 1880s, gained importance and
acceptance?
More advancement was made to insurance during the
process of

23
industrialization. In 1897, the British government passed the
Workmen's
Compensation Act, which made it mandatory for a company
to insure its
employees against industrial accidents.
During the 19th century, many societies were founded to
insure the life and
health of their members, while fraternal orders provided low-
cost, members only insurance. Even today, such fraternal
orders continue to provide
Insurance coverage to members, as do most labour
organizations. Many
employers sponsor group insurance policies for their
employees, providing
not just life insurance, but sickness and accident benefits
and old-age
pensions. Employees contribute a certain percentage of the
premium for
these policies.
Final Thoughts
Even though the American insurance industry was greatly
influenced by
Britain, the US market developed somewhat differently from
that of the
United Kingdom. Contributing to that was America's size;
land diversity
and the overwhelming desire to be independent. As America
moved from a
colonial outpost to an independent force, from a farming
country to an
Industrial nation, the insurance business developed from a
small number of
companies to a large industry.
Insurance became more sophisticated, offering new types of
coverage and
diversified services for an increasingly complex country.
KEY FEATURES OF LIFE INSURANCE
1) Nomination: -

24
When one makes a nomination, as the policyholder, one
continues to be the
owner of the policy and the nominee does not have any right
under the
policy as long as he/she is alive. The nominee has only the
right to receive the policy money in case of your death
within the term of the policy.
2) Assignment: -
If your intention is that your policy monies should go only to
a particular
person, you need to assign the policy in favor of that person.
3) Death Benefit: -
The primary feature of a life insurance policy is the death
benefit it provides.
Permanent policies provide a death benefit that is
guaranteed for the life of
the insured, provided the premiums have been paid and the
policy has not
been surrendered.
4) Cash Value: -
The cash value of a permanent life insurance policy is
accumulated
throughout the term of the policy. It equals the amount a
policy owner would
receive, after any applicable surrender charges, if the policy
were
surrendered before the insured's death.
5) Dividends: -
Many life insurance companies issue life insurance policies
that entitle the
policy owner to share in the company's divisible surplus.
6) Paid-Up Additions: -
Dividends paid to a policy owner of a participating policy can
be used in
numerous ways, one of which is toward the purchase of
additional coverage,
called paid-up additions.
7) Policy Loans: -

25
Some life insurance policies allow a policy owner to apply for
a loan against
the value of their policy. Either a fixed or variable rate of
interest is charged.
This feature allows the policy owner an easily accessible loan
in times of
need or opportunity.
8) Conversion from Term to Permanent: -
When in need of temporary protection, individuals often
purchase term life
insurance. If one owns a term policy, sometimes a provision
is available that
will allow her to convert her policy to a permanent one
without providing
additional proof of insurability.
9) Disability Waiver of Premium: -
Waiver of Premium is an option or benefit that can be
attached to a life
insurance policy at an additional cost. It guarantees that
coverage will stay in
force and continue to grow

BENEFITS OF LIFE INSURANCE


1) Risk cover: -
Life Insurance contracts allow an individual to have a risk
cover against any
unfortunate event of the future.
2) Tax Deduction: -
Under section 80C of the Income Tax Act of 1961 one can get
tax deduction
on premiums up to one lakh rupees. Life Insurance policies
thus decrease the
total taxable income of an individual.
3) Loans: -
An individual can easily access loans from different financial
institutions by
pledging his insurance policies.
4) Retirement Planning: -

26
What had provided protection against the financial
consequences of
premature death may now be used to help them enjoy their
retirement years.
Moreover the cash value can be used as an additional
income in the old age.
5) Educational Needs: -
Similar to retirement planning the cash values that flow from
ones life
Insurance schemes can be utilized for educational needs of
the insurer or his
children.

ROLE OF LIFE INSURANCE IN THE


GROWTH OF THE ECONOMY

The Life Insurance Industry has an enviable track record


among public
sector units. It has a Consistent profit and dividend paying
record
accompanied by a steady growth in its financial resources.

LIFE INSURANCE IS INSURANCE AS WELL AS


INVESTMENT
It is the special characteristic of life insurance that it not only provides
security but is also a form of investment. The insured not only wants to
secure his family from the risk of his death, but also wants to invest in the
long term insurance plan. Both these elements are possible in life insurance

28
because the insurance company promises to pay a fixed amount on the death
of the insured, or on his attaining a certain age.

Element of Protection: Life insurance is the best way of securing against


financial risks. The member of the family insures his life to provide affixed
amount security to his family in case of death and his family been secured
against any financial strain.
Financial problems not only arise on untimely death of the
earning member, but also when the earning member becomes old and his
energy to work reduces and so does his source of income also reduce. At this
stage, he wants to retire and lead a peaceful life. And if he has no source of
income at this time he shall have to depend on others, which is a very
pitiable stage in old age. That is why; a rational man always saves for his old
age, so that he doesn’t have to depend on others for maintaining himself. In
such plans, insurance holds the prime position due to the following reasons-
1) He makes savings in the form of life insurance. To pay a regular
premium he has to save necessarily. Though premium takes a
form of compulsory expense yet for depositing regular
premiums he has to develop a habit of saving.
2) The saving also remains secure in life insurance. The savings
kept in a bank account can be withdrawn anytime for expenses,
but the amount paid as premium can be received from the
insurance company only on attaining a certain age.
3) Life insurance is also a kind of indirect saving. The life
insurance policy cannot be forfeited by Income Tax department,
even after non-payment of income tax.
In this way, the element of economic security is present entirely in
a life insurance policy. It is both, an element of protection and a
helping hand in the old age.

Element of Investment: Life insurance also provides the benefit of


investment. The amount of premium consists, apart from the cost
of insurance, an amount of investment. This investment constantly
increases. And this amount of investment is called Life Fund and
represents the element of investment. The Life insurance
companies invest the amount of life fund to earn profits, and give
the benefits of such profits to the policy holder also. Firstly, while
determining the amount of net premium, the amount of interest is
deducted from the cost of insurance that constitutes interest from
the investment of premium fund. Then the insurance companies

29
distribute most of the part of their profits (up to 90%) to the
policyholders as bonus.
The investment in Life insurance policy is superior to
other kinds of investments because here there is no risk of loosing
money and there is no need to invest the whole amount at one time.
Life insurance can be called as the best kind of risk- free security,
on whose security, lending money is also possible. By
nationalization of Life insurance in our country, the insurance
policy is guaranteed by the government by which it has become
more secure.

KINDS OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES


Temporary Term Insurance

Term assurance: provides for life insurance coverage for a specified term of
years for a specified premium. The policy does not accumulate cash value.
Term is generally considered "pure" insurance, where the premium buys
protection in the event of death and nothing else.

There are three key factors to be considered in term insurance:

1. Face amount (protection or death benefit),


2. Premium to be paid (cost to the insured), and
3. Length of coverage (term).

Various insurance companies sell term insurance with many different


combinations of these three parameters. The face amount can remain
constant or decline. The term can be for one or more years. The premium
can remain level or increase. A common type of term is called annual
renewable term. It is a one year policy but the insurance company guarantees
it will issue a policy of equal or lesser amount without regard to the
insurability of the insured and with a premium set for the insured's age at
that time. Another common type of term insurance is mortgage insurance,
which is usually a level premium, declining face value policy. The face
amount is intended to equal the amount of the mortgage on the policy
owner’s residence so the mortgage will be paid if the insured dies.

A policy holder insures his life for a specified term. If he dies before that
specified term is up, his estate or named beneficiary receives a payout. If he

30
does not die before the term is up, he receives nothing. In the past these
policies would almost always exclude suicide. However, after a number of
court judgments against the industry, payouts do occur on death by suicide
(presumably except for in the unlikely case that it can be shown that the
suicide was just to benefit from the policy). Generally, if an insured person
commits suicide within the first two policy years, the insurer will return the
premiums paid. However, a death benefit will usually be paid if the suicide
occurs after the two year period.

Permanent Life Insurance

Permanent life insurance is life insurance that remains in force (in-line) until
the policy matures (pays out), unless the owner fails to pay the premium
when due (the policy expires OR policies lapse). The policy cannot be
canceled by the insurer for any reason except fraud in the application, and
that cancellation must occur within a period of time defined by law (usually
two years). Permanent insurance builds a cash value that reduces the amount
at risk to the insurance company and thus the insurance expense over time.
This means that a policy with a million dollar face value can be relatively
expensive to a 70 year old. The owner can access the money in the cash
value by withdrawing money, borrowing the cash value, or surrendering the
policy and receiving the surrender value.

The four basic types of permanent insurance are whole life, universal life,
limited pay and endowment.

Whole life coverage

Whole life insurance provides for a level premium, and a cash value table
included in the policy guaranteed by the company. The primary advantages
of whole life are guaranteed death benefits; guaranteed cash values, fixed
and known annual premiums, and mortality and expense charges will not
reduce the cash value shown in the policy. The primary disadvantages of
whole life are premium inflexibility, and the internal rate of return in the
policy may not be competitive with other savings alternatives. Also, the cash
values are generally kept by the insurance company at the time of death, the
death benefit only to the beneficiaries. Riders are available that can allow
one to increase the death benefit by paying additional premium. The death
benefit can also be increased through the use of policy dividends. Dividends
cannot be guaranteed and may be higher or lower than historical rates over

31
time. Premiums are much higher than term insurance in the short-term, but
cumulative premiums are roughly equal if policies are kept in force until
average life expectancy.

Cash value can be accessed at any time through policy "loans". Since these
loans decrease the death benefit if not paid back, payback is optional. Cash
values are not paid to the beneficiary upon the death of the insured; the
beneficiary receives the death benefit only. If the dividend option: Paid up
additions is elected, dividend cash values will purchase additional death
benefit which will increase the death benefit of the policy to the named
beneficiary.

Universal life coverage

A universal life insurance policy includes a cash account. Premiums increase


the cash account. Interest is paid within the policy (credited) on the account
at a rate specified by the company. Mortality charges and administrative
costs are then charged against (reduce) the cash account. The surrender value
of the policy is the amount remaining in the cash account less applicable
surrender charges, if any.

With all life insurance, there are basically two functions that make it work.
There's a mortality function and a cash function. The mortality function
would be the classical notion of pooling risk where the premiums paid by
everybody else would cover the death benefit for the one or two who will die
for a given period of time. The cash function inherent in all life insurance
says that if a person is to reach age 95 to 100 (the age varies depending on
state and company), then the policy matures and endows the face value of
the policy.

Actuarially, it is reasoned that out of a group of 1000 people, if even 10 of


them live to age 95, then the mortality function alone will not be able to
cover the cash function. So in order to cover the cash function, a minimum
rate of investment return on the premiums will be required in the event that a
policy matures.

Universal life insurance addresses the perceived disadvantages of whole life.


Premiums are flexible. Depending on how interest is credited, the internal
rate of return can be higher because it moves with prevailing interest rates
(interest-sensitive) or the financial markets (Equity Indexed Universal Life
and Variable Universal Life). Mortality costs and administrative charges are

32
known. And cash value may be considered more easily attainable because
the owner can discontinue premiums if the cash value allows it. And
universal life has a more flexible death benefit because the owner can select
one of two death benefit options, Option A and Option B.

Option A pays the face amount at death as it's designed to have the cash
value equal the death benefit at maturity (usually at age 95 or 100). With
each premium payment, the policy owner is reducing the cost of insurance
until the cash value reaches the face amount upon maturity.

Option B pays the face amount plus the cash value, as it's designed to
increase the net death benefit as cash values accumulate. Option B offers the
benefit of an increasing death benefit every year that the policy stays in
force. The drawback to option B is that because the cash value is
accumulated "on top of" the death benefit, the cost of insurance never
decreases as premium payments are made. Thus, as the insured gets older,
the policy owner is faced with an ever increasing cost of insurance (it costs
more money to provide the same initial face amount of insurance as the
insured gets older)

Limited-pay

Another type of permanent insurance is Limited-pay life insurance, in which


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

Endowments

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

In the United States, the Technical Correct Limited-pay

Another type of permanent insurance is Limited-pay life insurance, in which


all the premiums are paid over a specified period after which no additional

33
premiums are due to keep the policy in force. Common limited pay periods
include 10-year, 20-year, and paid-up at age 65.

Endowments

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

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

Endowment Insurance is paid out whether the insured lives or dies, after a
specific period (e.g. 15 years) or a specific age (e.g. 65).

Accidental Death

Accidental death is a limited life insurance that is designed to cover the


insured when they pass away due to an accident. Accidents include anything
from an injury, but do not typically cover any deaths resulting from health
problems or suicide. Because they only cover accidents, these policies are
much less expensive than other life insurances.

It is also very commonly offered as "accidental death and dismemberment


insurance", also known as an AD&D policy. In an AD&D policy, benefits are
available not only for accidental death, but also for loss of limbs or bodily
functions such as sight and hearing, etc.

Accidental death and AD&D policies very rarely pay a benefit; either the
cause of death is not covered, or the coverage is not maintained after the
accident until death occurs. To be aware of what coverage they have, an
insured should always review their policy for what it covers and what it
excludes. Often, it does not cover an insured that puts himself at risk in
activities such as: parachuting, flying an airplane, professional sports, or
involvement in a war (military or not). Also, some insurers will exclude
death and injury caused by proximate causes due to (but not limited to)
racing on wheels and mountaineering.

34
Accidental death benefits can also be added to a standard life insurance
policy as a rider. If this rider is purchased, the policy will generally pay
double the face amount if the insured dies due to an accident. This used to be
commonly referred to as double indemnity coverage. In some cases, some
companies may even offer a triple indemnity cover.

NATIONALISATION OF LIFE INSURANCE IN INDIA

On 19th January, 1956, the Indian Government issued an emergency


ordinance, whose objective was to nationalize life insurance. As a result of
this ordinance, the business of life insurance which was in the hands of
private sector organizations at that time now came in the hands of the
Government of India.

At the time of nationalization, in our country 154 Indian Insurance


companies, 16 foreign insurance companies and 75 private insurance
societies were working in the Insurance business.

In June 1956, an Act by the name of Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956
was passed in the Parliament, which came into force from 1st July 1956 in
India. As a result of this Act, a Government organization was established
which is known as ‘Life Insurance Corporation of India’. The Life Insurance
Corporation started the insurance business from 1st September, 1956.

REASONS OR OBJECTIVES OF NATIONALISATION


1) To arrange funds for Five Year Plans of the Government of
India.
2) To widely propagate Life Insurance even in villages and small
towns.
3) To eliminate unhealthy competition among Private Insurance
Companies.
4) To end mismanagement, spread in Private Insurance
Companies.
5) To increase the per person insured amount.
6) To establish a socialist society, to give maximum benefits to the
society.
7) To reduce the wasteful administrative expenses of the Private
Insurance Companies.
8) To secure the interests of small insured persons.

35
9) To create a sense of saving among people.
10)To utilize the ‘Life Insurance Fund’ properly.
11) To end the delays in payments on maturity to insured by Private
Insurance Companies.
12)To decentralize economic and financial power from the hands
of Private Insurance Companies.

of not being able to save enough. Life Insurance is the only
complete answer to these fears. It is life insurance that
provides you with the security of a financial safety net and
enables you to plan for unpredictable adversities. Happiness
often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left
open. Let life insurance be that door for you.

benefits continue (excluding Hospital Cash Benefit). We

How does the Bajaj Allianz New UnitGain Premier SP plan


work?
105% of the single premium paid is invested in fund/funds of
your choice and units are allocated depending on the price
of units for the fund/funds. The fund value of your policy is
the total value of units that you hold in the fund/funds. The
mortality charge and policy administration charge are
deducted through monthly cancellation of units.

The Fund Management Charge is priced in the unit value.

Death Benefit: You can choose a Sum Assured (Level of


Protection) that you want in the New UnitGain Premier SP
Plan.
Minimum Sum Assured = 1.25 times the single premium
Maximum Sum Assured = Y times the single premium where
Y will be as per the following table:
Age 0 - 17 18 – 35 36 - 45 46 - 50 51 - 55
56 – 60 Group
Y 10 10 7 5 3*

* Multiplier may be increased to 5 in special cases on case-
to-case basis.
Benefits available under the plan

Death Benefit:
• On death before the age of 7 years: The death benefit will
be the NAV of the units in the policyholder’s account (Fund
Value) as on date of receipt of intimation of death at the
office. The policy terminates on the death of the life assured.

68
• On death after the age of 7 years and before the age of 60
years: The death benefit will be the higher of the sum

Fund Value: The Fund Value is equal to the number of units under this policy
multiplied by the unit price on the relevant valuation date.
Unit Price: The unit price of each fund is arrived at by dividing the Net
Asset Value (NAV) of the fund by the number of units existing in the fund at
the valuation date (before any new unit is allocated or cancelled)
Valuation Date: The Company aims to value the Funds on each day the
financial markets are open. However, the Company reserves the right to
value less frequently in extreme circumstances, where the value of the assets
may be too uncertain. In such circumstances, the Company may defer
valuation of assets until a certainty on the value of assets is resumed. The

IRDA.
Currently, the cut-off time is 3 p.m. for applicability of Unit Price of a

20,000 or one-tenth of the Single Premium, whichever is
higher, across all funds must be maintained, and the

charge applicable for partial withdrawal would be 6% in the

69
4th year, 4% in the 5th year, 2% in the 6th year, & 0%
thereafter. In case the policy is taken on the life of a minor,
the partial withdrawals shall not be allowed until the minor
(life insured) attains majority (i.e. on or after attainment of
age 18).

Surrender: Full withdrawal of units by way of surrender of the


policy is allowed after three years from commencement. The
surrender charge applicable for full withdrawal would be 6%

Health is Wealth… particularly when health care costs are getting higher

surgery often lasts beyond the immediate period of the trauma. Bajaj Allianz
HealthCare protects you and your family from the high expenses associated
with medical care and provides you with a comprehensive financial cushion
against various health hazards.
The benefits under this plan are payable in addition to the benefits under all
other plans that you may have, including a Mediclaim policy.

Benefits:
• Life Cover is payable on death of the life assured.
• Hospital Cash Benefit: The worry of meeting expenses relating to
hospitalisation adds to the trauma of hospitalisation. Hospital Cash Benefit
reduces this financial burden and helps you recover with peace of mind. If
you have to stay in hospital as a result of injury, sickness or disease, we will

89
pay at the rate of the room charge in hospital, subject to the limit of the
benefit level chosen, for each full day’s stay in hospital exceeding 3 days up
to the total limit allowed in a policy year. The amount is payable in a
lumpsum at the end of the stay in hospital. The benefit period starts after a
waiting period of 60 days from the commencement of risk or reinstatement
of risk, except for accidental injury. Multiple claims can be made in a policy
year.

takes time, and our Post Hospitalisation Benefit allows you this facility
without adding burden to your wallet. We pay 50% of the Hospital Cash
benefit claim settled per day for a maximum of 5 days in a policy year for
essential follow-up treatment on the basis of recommendation of the
hospital/surgeon.

today. Our Surgical benefit pays you for a surgery done by a qualified

doctor/physician/surgeon. The benefit amount payable is equal to the
surgical expenses (i.e. surgeon’s fee, operation theatre charges and
anesthetist’s charges) subject to the maximum surgical benefit amount
payable in a policy year. The surgical benefit can only be claimed if the
illness covered is diagnosed at least 180 days after the date of
commencement of risk or reinstatement of risk.
There is no waiting period if surgery is done due to an accidental injury.
• Critical Illness Benefit: Some illnesses are critical. They not only alter your
life’s pattern but also result in a financial drain. The Critical Illness Benefit
softens the impact on the family by paying out a lumpsum as per the cover
selected immediately, while other policy benefits continue. The critical
illness benefit can only be claimed if the illness is diagnosed at least 180
days after the date of commencement or reinstatement of risk. We cover 11
critical illnesses: First Heart Attack, Coronary Artery Disease Requiring

disability - partial or total.

charge, are invested as per the portfolio strategy of your choice (&, if
applicable, in fund(s) of your choice) and units are allocated depending on
the unit price of the fund(s). The fund value of your policy is the total value

100
of units that you hold in the fund(s). From the end of the 6th policy year,
every year, a percentage of the first year's annual premium is added by the
Company as Guaranteed Addition. The mortality charge, policy
administration charge and rider premium charges (if any) are deducted
monthly through cancellation of units. Fund Management Charge is adjusted
in the unit price.
What are my Investment Options and Funds?
Bajaj Allianz UnitGain Protection Plus provides you with two unique
portfolio strategies, which can be chosen at the inception of the Policy or on
subsequent policy anniversary:
1) Investor Selectable Portfolio Strategy
2) Wheel Of Life Portfolio Strategy
a) Investor selectable Portfolio Strategy: If you want to allocate your
premiums based on your personal choice and decision, you can opt for this
strategy. You have a choice of seven (7) investment funds to make Your
investment decision.
Premium Apportionment: You can choose to invest fully in any one fund or
allocate your premiums into the various funds in a proportion that suits your
investment needs. The proportion of allocated premium to any fund must be
at least 5%. At any policy anniversary, you also have the flexibility to
change the proportion of future premiums to the funds.
b) Wheel of Life Portfolio Strategy:
• We provide you with “Years to maturity based portfolio management”.
• At the commencement of the Policy, your premium (regular premium and
top up premium, if any) would be allocated in various funds (namely Equity
Index Fund II, Equity Growth Fund & Accelerator Mid-Cap Fund)
• On each policy anniversary, we will reallocate your fund value among
various funds in the proportion based on your outstanding years to maturity.
• The premiums (regular premium and top up premium, if any) paid in that
particular policy year will also be allocated in the same proportion.
• This will ensure that a balance is maintained between your “years to
maturity” and level of risk to your investments to optimize the returns.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research


problem. Research methodology constitutes of research methods, selection
criterion of research methods, used in context of research study and
explanation of using of a particular method or technique so that research
results are capable of being evaluated either by researcher himself or by
others. Why a research study has been undertaken, how the research problem
has been formulated, why data have been collected and what particular
technique of analyzing data has been used and a best of similar other
question are usually answered when we talk of Research methodology
concerning a research problem or study. The main aim of research is to find
out the truth which is hidden and which has not been discovered as yet.

The area of the study related with informing different people about life
insurance policies in the region of Lucknow.

SAMPLE DESIGN

A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given


population. It refers to the techniques or the procedure the researcher would
adopt in selecting items for the sample. Sample design may as well be drawn
from the population to be included in the sample i.e. the size of the sample.
Sample design is determined before data are collected.

104
During my study I have taken 60 prospects as the size of sample.

TOOLS USED

To know the response, I have used the questionnaire method. If one wishes
to find what prospects think or know, the logical procedure is to ask them.
This has led marketing researchers to use the questionnaire technique for
collecting data more than any other method.

In this method questionnaire were distributed to the respondents and they


were asked to answer the questions in the questionnaire. The questionnaire
were structured non disguised questionnaire because the question which the
questionnaire contained, were arranged in a specific order besides every
question asked were logical for the study, no question can be termed as
irrelevant.

The questionnaire was non-disguised because the questionnaire was


constructed so that the objective is clear to the respondent. The respondents
were aware of the objective. They knew why they were asked to fill the
questionnaire.

With the help of following techniques, which are used by Bajaj Allianz I
have analyzed that the how techniques of sales promotion are useful

105
Questionnaire used was as follows:

Name:

Address:

Contact number:

Age:

1) Whether you are Married or Unmarried? (.M for married, U for

Unmarried) :

2) What is your Educational Qualification?

3) What is your Profession?

4) How many People depend on you?

5) What is your Annual Income?

6) Which vehicle you own?

7) What are the recent developments in your family?

• New House

• New Baby

• New Car

8) Where do you invest money?

• Savings Bank Account

• Insurance Policies

• Shares

• Mutual Fund

106
• Real Estate

DATA COLLECTION

PRIMARY DATA SOURCES


• Through interaction with insurance care consultant
• Through questionnaires filled from the insurance care consultant.

SECONDARY DATA SOURCES:


• Through internet, various official sites of the companies.
• Through pamphlets and brochures of the companies.
• Journals & Magazine

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Following limitations were faced during the study:


1. While designing the questionnaire it was kept in mind to gather more
and more information from each target person. For the neither present
nor descriptive questions could have served the purpose. Therefore the
questionnaire contained in the open-ended questions.
2. The study was conducted in Bajaj Allianz in Lucknow city, which has
60 to 100 insurance prospects only. The sample size was of 50
insurance care consultants only so that accuracy of data so collected
could be absurd covered by circulation of questionnaire.

107
3. The accuracy of indications given by the respondents may not be
consider adequate as whether the language used in the questionnaire is
understood by the respondent cannot be taken for granted.
4. The study is based on the information gathered from the insurance
care consultants. Therefore in such case it is possible that the
information supplied might be biased because the insurance care
consultant might have shown partiality towards their insurance
policies.
5. Since the survey was limited to 50 insurance prospects it is rather

difficult to give a precise conclusion but I have tried to the best of my


capability to give the conclusion on a comprehensive manner.

108
RESULT
• Most of investors not fully aware about Life insurance policies and their
advantage.

• It was found most of the investor prefer, less risk taking saving scheme
or fixed deposits.

• Some of the people, who were related to rural area, did not know about
facility for investment of money in Life Insurance Policy schemes.

• The proportion of investor and non-investor 20% & 80%.

• The investors were interested more in Policies of LIC because it is a


Government body.

• Some of the investors were pleased to know about New FamilyGain


and said that it is a very good plan and is very much affordable by
middle class people.

109
SUGGESTIONS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
Through out the project work I have tried to my extent to learn more and
more so that I enable myself to deliver the best services from my part. I always
focused my services to full satisfaction whether it would for employer or for
customer. So during this practical learning process whatever I have realized to
improve the division of the company is as follows:

• Tapping the up coming market - Semi Urban Market as there is a lot of


opportunity. Most of the Life Insurance companies are operating in the
metros and big cities as per their present branch office locations. If they
have to increase their market size they have to open more distribution
centers at the various urban and semi-urban markets.

• The company always should have proper communication with its front
office as well as back office workers to increase the morale and
productivity.

• The company should always have proper planning for gifts/incentives


for employees on various occasions or on competitions.

• Premium and economical class of services should be launched by the


company to serve the varied nature of customers.

• Service cum awareness camps should be run by the company in remote


areas.

. Distribution channel needs more strength.

. Improvement in services through feedbacks from customers is


recommended.

110
LIMITATIONS

As every aspect of life has its own limitation the same goes
with research. The few limitations attached to this research
are:

• As time and tide waits for none so is the case with this research. A
much more detailed analysis could be done had three been more time
spent for data collection. Due to lack of time data from the all places
could not be collected.

• Management of all the activities from one place limited the research
with in it self as appropriate data, which was required, was not
available.

• The views of respondents are likely to change as human nature is very


dynamic.

• The result figure may be biased since the subjects/investors may


provide wrong information.

• The survey may not give the whole scenario of Indian market.

• Some subjects/investors were not co–operative on their approach.
