PREFACE
Insurance is very important in today’s world as it provides the measure for reducing
the exposure to risk. There are different types of insurance policies and the person can
take them on the basis of their need. Insurance covers you not only when you are alive
but also after your death in the terms of
benefit which accrues to your family members.
The concept of insurance is not the new one. The insurance is prevalent
all over the world from the very beginning either in the form of traditional or the
reciprocal insurance. Mainly insurance have been categorized into two parts 1. Life
Insurance, 2. Genaral Insurance. Life insurance mainly covers the health related issues
and the general insurance covers the other aspects. Insurance helps in pooling the
losses and also leads to the transfer of losses. It makes the person on the same position
as he was before loss. The investment in insurance is also eligible for tax deductions.
Previously, the private players are not allowed in the insurance sector but
in todays competitive world mostly the private players are dominating the insurance
sector and their market share is also increasing day by day. So, insurance is very much
necessary for each and every individual, the earlier you take it better it is for you.

Gratuity benefits are a statutory liability for any organisation and tend to increase annually as the
salaries and tenure of employment increase. In the case of growing organizations, Gratuity benefits
can work out to a substantial amount. If the employer pays the Gratuity benefit from its day-to-day
operations it can become difficult to meet this liability on a sustainable basis. Therefore, it makes
sense to have a Gratuity Fund. Call it prudent financial planning that is beneficial both to the
employer as well as the employee.

e) Fund Management
One Group Account is maintained in the system and Net Asset Value per unit of each Investment
Fund will be calculated.
f) Unit Allocation
Units in the BSLI Funds will be allocated to the account of the Policyholder by dividing the
contribution allocated to the Investment Funds by the applicable NAV of that Investment Fund
calculated as mentioned below.
On issue of the policy, units will be allocated on the policy issue date. For subsequent contributions
received, the cut-off timings will be as follows:
• Cash or local cheque received at any of our offices by duly authorised officials before 4.15
p.m. on a working day will be allocated units based on the NAV declared for that day.

the assets to allocate the units at the valuation date.

redeem the units at the valuation date.
The NAV per unit of each Investment Fund will be calculated as mentioned below. When
Appropriation Price is applied: The NAV shall be computed as under:
(Market Value of Investments held by the fund + Expenses incurred in Purchase of the Assets +
Value of any Current Assets + any Accrued Income net of Fund Management Charges - Value of
any Current Liabilities - provisions, if any)
Divided by the number of units existing at valuation date (before any new units are allocated)

Strong market position. Only company to develop significant International operations, long record

Large number of policies covering the risk of each and every aspect of life.
Reasonable criteria for claiming and the premium amount is also reasonable.
WEAKNESS:-
Policies not covering the rural sector and semi urban society.
OPPORTUNITIES:-
Threats:-
In the project the different policy of the company have been studied in order to know about the
different criteria for the pension amount, how to claim, what are the benefits, what are the added risk
covered by the policy etc. The criteria for claiming and the premium amount is very reasonable so
even a lay man can take the policy very easily.
The company should try to tap the rural and the semi urban sector as it is lacking on in this sphere. It
has to come up with new policies and the strategies in order to compete with the new emerging
private players.
