INDUSTRY PROFILE
What is insurance? Insurance is concerned with protection of economic value of assets. Every asset has a value and it is created at considerable cost. They have a lifetime during which time they are expected to perform but they can be destroyed or made nonfunctional through accidental occurrences. Such terrible occurrences are called perils. The damage the perils may cause to the asset is the risk. Risk only means that there is a possibility of loss or damage. There has to be uncertainty of risk; Insurance is relevant only where there is uncertainty. The occurrences have to be random. Accidental and not deliberately created. Brief history: The business of insurance started with marine business. Traders who used to gather in the Loyds caf in London agreed to share the losses to their goods while being carried by ships. The losses were on account of ships being pirated or damaged to goods because of whether conditions or sinking of the ships. The first insurance policy was issued in 1583 in England .In India, insurance began in 1818 with Life insurance being transacted by an English company, the European and Albert. The first Indian Insurance company was formed in 1870 Bombay mutual assurance society limited How it works: People facing common risks come together and make a small contribution. The contribution is made on the assumption that all of them are exposed to the risk, but who will become the victim is not known. By studying events for long time it is possible for forecast happening of the future, and as an average how many persons will suffer losses. The following example explains this concept.
____________________________________________________________________ Example:Suppose in a town there are one lakh huts. It is found that ten of them are getting destroyed by fire accident every year. Assuming the cost of constructing each hut Rs.1000/-,suppose all the huts man dwellers decide to contribute 10 paisa each, they can have a fund of Rs.10,000/- with which all the persons, who lost the huts, can be compensated. Thus insurance business is all about sharing. A risk which cannot be born by a person is spread over the entire community, so the risk becomes bearable. The contribution paid by an individual is called premium. The likely loss for which a person wants risk cover is called sum insured and the amount paid in the event of a loss is called claim. Coming to life insurance even though death is certain the time of death is uncertain. A human being is unique income generating asset. He earns not only for him self but supports the family. It is likely somebody may die before he is able to full fill his family responsibilities, in which case his family is in difficulties. Some times a person is not able to earn but lives for a long time, the risk of living to long. In the days when joint family system has collapsed this person can face hardship. Thus a human being is exposed to types of risks-pre mature death and risks of living to long.
Utility:Insurance acts as a social security tool: even though the govt. is expected to look after the social security of people, it is often not possible. Insurance companies supplement the efforts of the govt. in regard. Role in the economic development: insurance companies collect huge amounts by way of premiums. Thus funds are available for a long time. Insurance companies can invest in projects with long gestation period. The help in development of infra structure like roads, Bridges, irrigation projects, power plants etc.
______________________________________________________________________
Common risks faced by human beings: 1. Ill health of serious nature involving heavy medical expenses for a recuperation of normal health 2. Disability caused by an accident resulting in incapacity of earns; 3. Higher education of children when educational expenses are mounting; 4. Marriages of dependent daughters &sons involving huge expenditure; 5. Own a home for living either by construction or purchase; 6. Premature death These contingencies can be taken care by insurance. Advantages of life insurance: Life insurance has no competition from any other business. When a person saves in any instrument, the fund available is what is saved. In insurance, the fund available is what is saved. In insurance, the fund available is not what is paid by way of premium but the target amount which chosen as sum insured. In insurance settlement is easy because of nomination .The heirs can collect the money easily because of nomination or assignment
___________________________________________________________________ There is a certain amount of compulsion to go through the plan of savings. Creditors cannot claim the life insurance money. They can be protected against attachment by courts. There are tax benefits. Marketability and liquidity are better. A life Insurance policy is property. It can be transferred of mortgaged. Loans can be raised against the policy. 1. From the agents point of view. Life insurance is the only way for family protection. It takes care of the UN certainties of futures. The value of human life is far greater then the value of property. Only insurance can protect it. Life insurance is not surpassed by any other instruments in terms of security, marketability, stability of value and liquidity. Life insurance enhances the existing standards of living. Life insurance helps peoples like financially solvent lives.
