INTRODUCTION
What is Insurance?
Insurance is a means by which a person or company, can
transfer insurable risks to an insurance company, against
the payment of a premium.
Insurance is not necessarily an investment from which one
expects to get one's money back. Nor is it gambling. A
gambler takes risks, while insurance offers protection
against risks that already exist. Insurance is a way to share
risk with others. Since ancient times, communities have
pooled some of their resources to help individuals who
suffer loss.
"Insurance is a contract between two parties whereby one
party called insurer undertakes in exchange for a fixed sum
called premiums, to pay the other party called insured a
fixed amount of money on the happening of a certain
event."
“Insurance is a protection against financial loss arising on
the happening of an unexpected event. Insurance
companies collect premiums to provide for this protection.
A loss is paid out of the premiums collected from the
insuring public and the Insurance Companies act as trustees
to the amount collected.”
For example, in a Life Policy, by paying a premium to the
Insurer, the family of the insured person receives a fixed
compensation on the death of the insured. It is a system by
which the losses suffered by a few are spread over many,
exposed to similar risks. 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. By taking life insurance a person can have peace of
mind and need not worry about the financial consequences
in case of any untimely death.
TYPES OF INSURANCE
General Insurance
The basis for general insurance is "transfer of risk”. This
means that the insurer agrees to compensate you if you
suffer a loss. Without the insurance you would have to pay
for that loss yourself. Obviously this contract is made on
the basis that the insurance company calculates the risk that
you, or the total number of people buying insurance, will
cost more in payouts than what is received in premiums.
This is determined by the use of statistics and the
information you disclose on your applications for insurance
This includes:
Home contents. It can either be "defined event" i.e. the
policy covers loss or damage from a list of "defined"
events, e.g. storm or fire; or "accidental loss or damage" i.e.
all accidental loss with some exclusions.
Motor vehicle. It can either be "comprehensive" i.e. it
covers any damage to your car as well as damage to the
other car or another person's property; "third party
property" i.e. it covers damage caused by your car to
another person's property. This type of insurance will not
cover you for the cost of repairs to your own car; "third
party fire and theft i.e. it covers damage partly for damage
caused by your car to another person's property, and
restricted cover for damage to your car cause by theft or
fire. Income protection. With this type of insurance the
insurer agrees to pay you a specified amount of money,
usually in monthly payments, in the event that you become
disabled and unable to work. Along the same lines you an
purchase "trauma insurance" to cover a medical trauma
such as a heart attack.
Also in the modern day world the various players in the
insurance market are launching a number of utility specific
insurance policies in an effort to stay one step ahead of
their competitors. Hence to make the Definition of General
Insurance more broad based and inclusive we can say that
all the policies that do not fall under “Life Insurance “
category fall under the General Insurance category.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is insurance that will protect your family
and/or specified dependents in the event of the
policyholder’s death. In general, it is an essential
component in planning for the future.
There are many options with coverage, depending on your
situation. And there are three main categories of life
insurance: term life, universal life, and whole life
insurance.
Term life is the simplest and least expensive type of policy.
It's pure insurance with no cash value account. A term life
policy has only one function: to pay a specific lump sum to
whomever you've designated, upon a specific event, your
death.
Whole life insurance provides permanent protection for
your dependents while building cash value account. With
this type of insurance, the insurance company manages the
policies various contract.
Universal life insurance provides permanent protection for
your dependents and is more flexible than whole or
variable life

STUDY 1:
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH STUDY:.
In this type of research study the researcher must able to
define clearly, what he wants to measure and must find
adequate methods measuring it along with the clear cut
definition of population he wants to study. Since the aim of
study is to obtain complete and accurate information, the
procedure must be carefully planned .The design in such
studies must be rigid and rigid.In planning and designing a
specific research project it is necessary to anticipate all the
steps that must be under taken if the project is to be
successful in collecting valid & reliable information. If it
were broken down into very small parts or activities, the
marketing research process would consist of a great no of
steps ----
