2. INTRODUCTION OF PROPERTY INSURANCE
Property insurance provides protection against most risks to property, such as fire,
theft and some weather damage. This includes specialized forms of insurance such
as fire insurance, flood insurance, earthquake insurance, home insurance, or
boiler insurance.
6
Perils typically covered by property insurance include damage caused by fire,
smoke, wind, hail, weight of ice and snow, lightning, theft and more. Property
insurance also provides liability coverage in case someone other than the property
owner or renter is injured while on the property, and decides to sue.
Property insurance policies normally do not cover water damage caused by floods,
tsunamis, drain backups, sewer backups, groundwater seepage, standing water and
many other water sources. They also may not cover mold, earthquakes, nuclear
events or acts of war, such as terrorism and insurrections.
The Insurance Services Office, or ISO for short, was created in 1971. It was
initially a non-profit association of insurance companies. Its purpose was to
provide services, such as rating and statistical reporting, on behalf of its member
companies. ISO is no longer controlled by insurers. It operates as an independent
for-profit company. ISO is a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics, a public company that
provides risk assessment services and decision analytics.
ISO sells a variety of products and services to buyers in the insurance industry.
ISO's customers include insurers, agents and brokers, and actuaries. ISO also sells
products to government entities, such as fire departments and building code
agencies. Yet, ISO's primary customers are insurers.
Property insurance provides protection against most risks to property, such as fire,
theft and some weather damage. This includes specialized forms of insurance such
as fire insurance, flood insurance, earthquake insurance, home insurance, or boiler
insurance. Property is insured in two main ways—opens perils and named perils.
7
Open perils cover all the causes of loss not specifically excluded in the policy.
Common exclusions on open peril policies include damage resulting
from earthquakes, floods, nuclear incidents, acts of terrorism, and war. Named
perils require the actual cause of loss to be listed in the policy for insurance to be
provided. The more common named perils include such damage-causing events as
fire, lightning, explosion, and theft.
AIG was a central player in the financial crisis of 2008. It was bailed out by the
federal government for $180 billion, and the government took control. The
Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) of the US government concluded
AIG failed primarily because it sold massive amounts of insurance without
hedging its investment
AIG’s offshore centre in India was set up in 2013 to support their global business
by providing financial services, analytical and data solution capabilities. AIG in
India has more than 1400 employees across Bangalore and Gorgon.
8
The Finance Centre is a one stop shop for a wide spectrum of financial services,
extending support to several AIG businesses. Dedicated excellence teams drive
cost, quality and process efficiencies.
The Analytics & Services team supports Commercial Insurance by providing the
business with insights and analysis through accurate and comprehensive data
capture, catastrophe modelling, risk engineering, advanced portfolio analytics and
actuarial services.
Data Services is the youngest to be set up with the vision to leverage AIG’s
volume of data to gain bigger insights into our business strategy.
Insurance that covers the owner or another person with an interest in a property.
The insurance covers the loss of income produced through or because of the
property.

3. HISTORY
The industry helps to eliminate risks (as when fire insurance companies demand
the implementation of safe practices and the installation of hydrants), spreads risks
from the individual to the larger community, and provides an important source of
long-term finance for both the public and private sectors. The insurance industry is
generally profitable and provides attractive employment opportunities for white
collar workers.
In India, insurance has a deep-rooted history. Insurance in various forms has been
mentioned in the writings of Manu (Manusmrithi), Yagnavalkya (Dharmashastra)
and Kautilya (Arthashastra). The fundamental basis of the historical reference to
insurance in these ancient Indian texts is the same i.e. pooling of resources that
could be re-distributed in times of calamities such as fire, floods, epidemics and
famine. The early references to Insurance in these texts have reference to marine
trade loans and carriers' contracts.
Insurance in its current form has its history dating back until 1818, when Oriental
Life Insurance Company was started by Anita Bhavsar in Kolkata to cater to the
needs of European community. The pre-independence era in India saw
discrimination between the lives of foreigners (English) and Indians with higher
premiums being charged for the latter. In 1870, Bombay Mutual Life Assurance
Society became the first Indian insurer.
10
At the dawn of the twentieth century, many insurance companies were founded. In
the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act and the Provident Fund Act were
passed to regulate the insurance business. The Life Insurance Companies Act, 1912
made it necessary that the premium-rate tables and periodical valuations of
companies should be certified by an actuary. However, the disparity still existed as
discrimination between Indian and foreign companies. The oldest existing
insurance company in India is the National Insurance Company , which was
founded in 1906, and is still in business.
The LIC had monopoly till the late 90s when the Insurance sector was reopened to
the private sector. Before that, the industry consisted of only two state insurers:
Life Insurers (Life Insurance Corporation of India, LIC) and General Insurers
(General Insurance Corporation of India, GIC). GIC had four subsidiary
companies. With effect from December 2000, these subsidiaries have been de-
linked from the parent company and were set up as independent insurance
companies: Oriental Insurance Company Limited, New India Assurance Company
Limited, National Insurance Company Limited and United India Insurance
Company Limited.
Early methods

additional sum in exchange for the lender's guarantee to cancel the loan should the
shipment be stolen or lost at sea.
At some point in the 1st millennium BC, the inhabitants of Rhodes created the
'general average'. This allowed groups of merchants to pay to insure their goods
being shipped together. The collected premiums would be used to reimburse any
merchant whose goods were jettisoned during transport, whether to storm or
sinkage.
Separate insurance contracts (i.e., insurance policies not bundled with loans or
other kinds of contracts) were invented in Genoa in the 14th century, as were
insurance pools backed by pledges of landed estates. The first known insurance
contract dates from Genoa in 1347, and in the next century maritime insurance
developed widely and premiums were intuitively varied with risks. These new
insurance contracts allowed insurance to be separated from investment, a
separation of roles that first proved useful in marine insurance.

4. BENEFITS OF INSURANCE
Interior Damage
One of the things that your homeowner's insurance policy covers is accidental
damage to the interior of your house. No one ever stops to think of what all this
could cover. Water damage, theft, fire, paint spill, and even glass breakage can be
covered by your home owner policy. If you don't think that these claims can add
up, consider the following numbers:
The average water claim over the last few years involving frozen pipes is
around $5500.
The average theft claim is $2500.
Claims for other interior damage average around $3500.
Therefore, the average interior claim is above $4000 per claim.
The likelihood of something happening at some point to the interior of your house
is high. Therefore, this section alone is worth over $4000 per incident.
Exterior Damage
Anyone who has ever been through a bad hail storm, knows the value of
homeowner's insurance. Exterior insurance claims make up a good portion of the
insurance claims that are filed. Storms cause their fair share of damage to houses.
Some common causes of exterior claims include:
wind damage,
hail damage,
13
lightning damage,
fire,
and falling debris.
If you live in a wooded area, you are at risk for all of these claims. Lighting could
strike a tree near your house and fall through the roof during a storm. You could
have water damage and fire as a result. The average fire or lightning claim on a
house is around $25,000. For wind and hail damage, the figure is over $7000. This
means the average exterior claim is around $16,000.
Total Destruction
The most common insurance is to cover the event of total destruction of the house.
At this point, you will receive much more than you ever paid into your policy
premiums. The total replacement cost of homes can be a lot of money. The average
home price in the country is over $250,000. Therefore, if you lose an average size
house, you will receive $250,000 worth of benefits from your insurance company.
Total Benefits
While a total loss might be rare, most people will experience some sort of loss in
their lifetime. Whether it is an interior or exterior claim, you will probably have to
deal with one at some point. The average dollar amount for all claims is about
$7500. Therefore, even if you only filed one claim over the life of your policy, it is
worth $7500 to you. This makes homeowner's insurance well worth the price that
you have to pay for it.

coverage
Commercial Property Owners Insurance provides cover for the risks associated
with owning a premises used for business purposes. This could be a shop, salon,
restaurant, factory or even a warehouse. Buildings used for Leisure, education or
charity events may come under the umbrella of Commercial Property too. Those
needing Commercial Buildings Insurance can usually be split into 2 groups.
1. Owners that have bought the property themselves from where they will run
their own business.
If you own the premises from which your business is run then you may wish to
take out Commercial Contents Insurance which will protect the contents in your
building such as computers, desks or tools as opposed to the physical building
itself. You may wish to take out a Commercial Combined Policy which can
provide cover for stock, business fixtures and fittings, money kept on site, business
interruption, goods in transit, liabilities and the building. This type of cover is often
the most cost effective option rather than having a separate Commercial Buildings
Insurance, Commercial Contents Insurance and a Liability Policy.
2. Landlords that own the buildings and let them to commercial tenants for
rental income.
If you are the landlord of a commercial building you must make it clear who is
responsible for insuring what as typically your tenants contents will not be covered
19
under your policy. Some landlords arrange Commercial Premises Insurance for
their building and charge the tenant the premium, however they will still be
responsible for insuring their own contents and equipment
Liability Insurance – This can include both Public Liability Insurance and
Employers Liability Insurance which will protect you against a claim if
a member of the public or an employee were to have an accident at your
premises. EL Insurance is a requirement by UK law if you have any
employees working for you, even if they are part time volunteers. Liability
claims can be costly as well as time consuming with a lot of legal protocol to
follow. If an employee were to have an accident as a direct result of working
for you, you could have to pay legal fees and compensation as well as maybe
having to take time off work to attend court dates or get legal advice. Many
SME’s struggle to reopen after an incident like this if they don’t have
adequate insurance. This can be due to the financial losses incurred or even
the damage done to your businesses reputation.
20
Types of Commercial Property Policies
There are three types of commercial property policies in Texas. The policies
protect against different causes of damage, or "perils."
Basic form policies cover common perils like fires and storms.
Broad form policies cover common perils, as well as things like water
damage; structural collapse; sprinkler leakage; and damage caused by ice,
sleet, or weight of snow.
Special form policies cover all types of perils except those the policy
specifically excludes. Typical exclusions include damages from flood, earth
movement, war, terrorism, nuclear disaster, wear and tear, and insects and
vermin.
Read your policy carefully. You may need to buy additional coverages or separate
policies -- such as flood, windstorm, or crime coverage policies -- to fully protect
your business.
You can buy a single policy to cover a business with more than one location,
unless the locations have different functions and risk profiles. For instance, you
might have an administrative office at one location and a factory at another. If your
business has operations at multiple locations, ask your agent if you need separate
policies.
Note: Most commercial property policies cover damage from windstorms except in
counties on the Texas coast. Companies may exclude windstorm and hail coverage
from policies they sell in the 14 coastal counties and parts of Harris County on
Galveston Bay. If your business is in one of these counties, you'll need a separate
windstorm policy.
21
If you rent or lease a building, the property you own inside the building usually
won’t be covered by the property owner’s policy. You’ll need to buy tenant
coverage to insure your machinery, furniture, and merchandise. Tenant coverage
usually costs less than building coverage because the policy covers only the
contents of the building, and not the building itself.
Replacement cost coverage will pay to rebuild or repair your property, based
on current construction costs. Replacement cost is different from market
value and doesn't include the value of your land.
Actual cash value coverage will pay to rebuild or replace your property
minus depreciation. Depreciation is a decrease in value because of wear and
tear or age. If your business is destroyed and you only have actual cash value
coverage, you might not be able to completely rebuild.
There are the three types of insurance coverage. Replacement cost coverage pays
the cost of repairing or replacing your property with like kind & quality regardless
of depreciation or appreciation. Premiums for this type of coverage are based on
22
replacement cost values, and not based on actual cash value. Actual cash value
coverage provides for replacement cost minus depreciation. Extended replacement
cost will pay over the coverage limit if the costs for construction have increased.
This generally will not exceed 25% of the limit. When you obtain an insurance
policy, the coverage limit established is the maximum amount the insurance
company will pay out in case of loss of property.
This amount will need to fluctuate if the cost to replace homes in your
neighborhood is rising; the amount needs to be in step with the actual
reconstruction value of your home. In case of a fire, household content
replacement is tabulated as a percentage of the value of the home. In case of high-
value items, the insurance company may ask to specifically cover these items
separate from the other household contents. One last coverage option is to have
alternative living arrangements included in a policy.If a fire leaves your home
uninhabitable, the policy can help pay for a hotel or other living arrangements.
Business interruption coverage pays for the income you'd lose if your
business is damaged and you can't perform your normal business operations.
Extra expense coverage pays any additional costs to return your business to
normal after it's damaged.
24
explosion or water heater leak causes damage to other property. You can buy
this coverage as an endorsement or a separate policy.
Fire risk is usually the primary factor that determines a business's commercial
property rates. Insurance companies do inspections as part of the underwriting
process. Fire inspectors use a standard rating system and weigh five factors to
determine a structure's fire rating. The five factors are:
25
remodelling. Internal structural elements can also affect a rating. Using
wood partitions, floors, and stairways in an otherwise fire-resistant building
will likely nullify any rate reduction. Fire-resistant interior walls, floors, and
doors can help maintain a good fire rating.
Location. Buildings in cities or towns with good fire protection -- as
assessed by the Texas Commission on Fire Protection -- typically cost less to
insure than buildings outside a city or in areas with limited fire protection.
Occupancy. A building's use also affects its fire rating. An office building
will likely rate better than a restaurant or auto repair shop. In a building with
multiple tenants, one hazardous occupant will negatively affect the fire
rating of the entire building. If your business is in a building with a more
hazardous tenant, your premiums will be higher.
Fire protection measures. Automatic sprinklers can reduce a building's fire
rating by as much as 50 percent. Buildings with fire extinguishers and
automatic alarms and those within 500 feet of a fire hydrant will usually
have lower ratings.
Exposure. Nearby hazards increase a building's fire risk. Proximity to
external fire hazards, such as a lumberyard or oil storage tank, will affect a
fire rating even more. Other things that could affect your fire risk include
cluttered buildings and grounds, heavy mechanical or electrical equipment,
or volatile materials stored on site.
26
Remove all possible hazards before applying for coverage. Look at your
business's premises and operations carefully to get rid of anything that could
increase the likelihood of an insurance claim. Improving employee safety,
security, and inventory management might reduce the amount you pay for
commercial property insurance and other types of coverage. Most insurance
companies also offer loss-control or risk-reduction services. Talk to your
agent or insurance company about ways to find and eliminate hazards.
Get quotes from several companies. When comparing prices, make sure
you're comparing policies with similar coverage. A cheaper policy might
provide less coverage.
Keep shopping if an insurance company says it won't cover your
business. Insurance companies have different underwriting criteria. If one
company turns you down or is too expensive, try other companies.
Consider higher deductibles. Almost all commercial property policies have a
deductible, which is the amount you must pay toward the cost of a claim
before the insurance company will start to pay. The higher your policy's
deductible, the lower your premium. Keep in mind that you'll have to pay
more out of pocket if you have a claim. Your policy will also have a policy
limit, which is the maximum amount the insurance company will pay for any
covered loss.
Check your agent's and insurance company's licenses. Agents and insurance
companies must be licensed to sell commercial property insurance in Texas.
An unlicensed insurance company might not meet the state's minimum
financial and regulatory requirements, meaning the company may not be
able to pay your claim.

1. Water damage to insured property is covered by the government-based
National Flood Insurance
Program. the storm taken a more northerly track and hit downtown Miami
and Miami Beach, total insured damage could have approached $50 billion.
The storm forced the insurance industry to recognize that it might be subject
to losses in the future way beyond any figures previously imagined.* On the
West Coast of the United States, insured damage from the Northridge
Earthquake of January 1994 exceeded $12 billion. Had a similar quake hit
central Los Angeles, the insured bill could have been over $50 billion. The
Kobe Earthquake in Japan, which occurred exactly one year after
Northridge, caused substantially more damage, with estimates of the costs of
repair at well over $100 billion. Since very few structures were insured, the
cost to the insurance industry was relatively small ($1 billion) (Scawthorn,
Lashkari, and Naseer $1997). A repeat of the earthquake that destroyed
Tokyo in 1923 could cost between
900 billion and $1.4 trillion today (Valery 1995). The change in the
character of these disasters in recent years and the spectre of mega
catastrophes in the future raise two fundamental questions:
30
(1) What steps can be taken to reduce the losses from future disasters?
(2) Who can and should pay for the costs of these events when they occur?
This paper suggests an approach to evaluating the role of insurance and
other policy instruments for managing the catastrophic risk problem. The
next section provides an overview of why traditional reinsurance
mechanisms are limited in their ability to cover recent losses. It also
indicates how pooling
arrangements at the state and federal levels have attempted to fill this void as
well as the need for new sources of funds from the capital markets. Section
4.2 stresses the importance of understanding the decision processes of the
key interested parties concerned with catastrophic losses and their
interaction
with each other. On the basis of this descriptive characterization of the
problem, section 4.3 proposes a conceptual framework for examining a set
of alternative strategies by taking advantage of information technology,
expanded databases, and modeling approaches now being used to analyze
catastrophic
risks. Section 4.4 utilizes this framework to examine the role that two policy
instruments, reinsurance and mitigation, can play in dealing with
catastrophic losses for a “model city” in California. The concluding section
suggests ways to expand these analyses to include alternative decision rules
and policy instruments in structuring and evaluating new approaches to
managing catastrophic risks.

9. CHALLENGES FACED BY INSURANCE COMPANY WHENT IT
COME IN MARKET
Regulatory challenges and continued low interest rates are the primary challenges
facing insurance companies across the world, a new industry outlook survey from
Towers Watson revealed last week.
The 2015 Insurance Industry Outlook survey asked 365 global insurance
executives to rate their near-term concerns, including new and emerging risks as
well as environmental challenges.
The majority of insurers (60%) expect business conditions to remain flat over the
next three years, while nearly 20% anticipate the industry may enter a period of
negative growth. Asia Pacific insurers were much more likely to express optimism
on this score than their North American and European counterparts, with 52% of
insurers in that region bullish on growth prospects, compared to just 20% of North
American insurers and 18% of European companies.
Technology and talent-related issues also surfaced as prime concerns for survey
respondents, 88% of whom expressed concerns over adequate technology and 78%
worried over finding appropriate talent.
North American insurers were the most concerned over interest rate risks, with
32
85% identifying low rates as a primary concern, while regulatory changes were
more of a concern to European (82%) and Asia Pacific (80%) insurers.
Comparatively, 65% of North American insurers consider it a top concern.
Towers Watson had a warning for insurers overly concerned with the regulatory
environment, however.
“With Solvency II implementation a year away, it’s not terribly surprising that
regulation ranks top of mind for global insurers,” said Graham Fulcher, lead for
Towers Watson’s EMEA P&C practice. “However, disproportionate short-term
focus on regulation is a long-term cause for concern at a time when insurers have
many emerging challenges to think about, such as the opportunities of big data and
social media, and the poor underwriting environment.

11. Property insurance premium
The distinction between property and possession is used by Heinsohn and Steiger
to classify forms of society. "Three distinctive systems of material reproduction are
known to man:
(i) custom or tribal societies, (ii) command or feudal societies and (iii) ownership-
or property-based societies." The first two are based on possession, which is a
physical, material concept. Property, on the other hand, is an abstract, intangible
concept, and thus can only exist as a creation of law and within the realm
established by the rule of law. Where such a regime of law is established, property
arises; and it is accompanied by the phenomenon of property premium. "As soon
as property is created it carries an unearned and immaterial premium, the property
premium. This premium exists in addition to the physical use of goods or resources
in their possessional state and consists of two powers: (i) its capacity of backing
the issue of money which can be created only in a credit contract and (ii) its
eligibility to serve as collateral for obtaining credit."
It is this property premium which explains the phenomenon of interest. The owner
gives up his property premium by using his property to back the issue of that
money; what he gains in exchange is interest. The borrower likewise forgoes
property premium in engaging a loan, because he must back his promise of
repayment with collateral, pledging his property as security for repayment of the
38
loan. What he receives in return is liquidity premium, which is the capacity to
cancel indebtedness. "Keynes's idea that interest is the payment for forgoing
liquidity premium, therefore, falls short. The debtor's payment of interest
materializes the creditor's property premium, while the debtor's property premium
gives rise to liquidity premium."
This ingenious explanation for the existence of interest also demonstrates that
interest is simply an aspect of property within the regime of private law. Within
that regime it is inescapable; outside of it, in possession-oriented regimes whether
tribal or communist, it is unobtainable.

13. PROPERTY INSURANCE PREMIUM TAX RATES
Along with insurance companies, premium tax is collected and paid to the province
by:
Life 2%
Accident 2%

13. CONCLUSION
Even though there are certain limitations, it is heartening to see that many public
limited and private limited insurance companies have taken the initiative and are
able to offer the home insurance policies to customers at affordable budgets.
As I move inexorably into the future, the banking sector is poised to scale new
heights, adopt more advanced technologies and rise to new levels. The banker of
the future will look to technology as a tool to provide better quality and service to
customers, while banking technology will be increasingly sourced from trusted
technology service providers to the Banking sector.
What has been achieved so far is only a modest beginning and many more industry
wide projects are in the offering. In addition, insurance companies are yet to
introduce new policies. They are yet to see the real benefits of this sector.
However, the implications of large-scale revolution usage are paramount for a
robust and proven disaster capability.
Expert tips should be given on your home insurance on how to reduce the cost.
57
In addition, as more customer oriented policies are provided, the demand from
customers will keep increasing and companies would thereby end up in a policy
war.
In order to win this war, new policies are going to increase and proper utilization
of these investments is essential for companies to ensure that the policy introduced
are fully integrated with their operations.
