    PREFACE

    The liberali5ation of the Indian insurance sector has been the sub/ect of much heated debate for some years1

    The policy ma0ers where in the catch )) situation wherein for one they wanted competition# de!elopment and

    growth of this insurance sector which is e6tremely essential for channeling the in!estments in to the

    infrastructure sector1 At the other end the policy ma0ers had the fears that the insurance premium# which are

    substantial# would seep out of the country and wanted to ha!e a cautious approach of opening for foreign

    participation in the sector1

    As one of the rare occurrences the entire debate was put on the bac0 burner and the IR+A saw the day of the

    light than0s to the maturing polity emerging consensus among factions of different political parties1 Though

    some changes and some restricti!e clauses as regards to the foreign participation were included the IR+A has

    opened the doors for the pri!ate entry into insurance1 .hether the insurer is old or new# pri!ate or public#

    e6panding the mar0et will present multitude of challenges and opportunities1 But the 0ey issues# possible

    trends# opportunities and challenges that insurance sector will ha!e still remains under the realms of the

    possibilities and speculation1

    .hat is the li0ely impact of opening up Indias insurance sectorD

    The large scale of operations# public sector bureaucracies and cumbersome procedures hampers nationali5ed

    insurers1 Therefore# potential pri!ate entrants e6pect to score in the areas of customer ser!ice# speed and

    fle6ibility1 They point out that their entry will mean better products and choice for the consumer1 The critics

    counter that the benefit will be slim# because new players will concentrate on affluent# urban customers as

    foreign ban0s did until recently1 This seems to be a logical strategy1 StartEup costsEsuch as those of setting up a

    con!entional distribution networ0Eare large and highEend niches offer better returns1 =owe!er# the middleE

    mar0et segment too has great potential1 Since insurance is a !olumes game1 Therefore# pri!ate insurers would

    be best ser!ed by a middleEmar0et approach# targeting customer segments that are currently untapped1

    RECOMMENDATION AND BENEFIT

    .*. RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMPANY1

    Being the best product player in the pri!ate sector# but still sur!ey TATA AI' needs to impro!ement

    regarding its premium charges and ad!ertisement to its target customers1

    A P!e7i97 4"a!e'

    9wing to its high premium charges 2Tata AI' Ape6 -lan# -remium RS1 K((((JE3 customers perception about

    the companys product has become that its only for the upper middle class people1 .hereas TATA AI' do has

    some policy with low premium but the charges of allocation are too high1 So we would li0e to suggest slowing

    down its premium charges to some e6tend by reducing administration charges and other charges1

    5 A#2e!ti'e7ent1

    +uring sur!ey we ha!e found that due to lac0 of ad!ertisements about the products and agents selling the

    products in which they get high commissions customers are somewhere mislead and they 0now about !ery few

    products though TATA AI' has wide range of !ariety of the products1 So we would recommend TATA AI'

    to in!est more in ad!ertisement in form of T? commercials# pamphlets and hoardings1

    4 W!on 3e!4e3tion,

    AI' is on the edge of filing ban0ruptcy1 So Tata AI' is also going to on the brin0 of filling ban0ruptcy1 But

    insurance in India is a highly regulated industry1 Any company that wants to set up an insurance business has

    to follow !ery stringent norms gi!en by the Insurance Regulatory +e!elopment Authority 2IR+A31 So

    company should ta0e positi!e measure to remo!e this wrong perception from the people1

    # Sa73le 'ie1

    For this research study only hundred sample si5e has been ta0en1 The result will be more appropriate if a large

    CONCLUSION AND REFERENCE

    /.* CONCLUSION

    Indian insurance sector is li0ely to register unprecedented growth of )((L and attain a si5e of Rs1 )((( billion

    2O;81) billion3 by )((KE8(# in which a pri!ate sector insurance business will achie!e a growth rate of 8*(L as

    a result of aggressi!e mar0eting technique being adopted by them against :;E*(L growth rate of state owned

    insurance companies1 The rural mar0et offers tremendous growth opportunities for insurance companies and

    insurers should de!elop !iable and costEeffecti!e distribution channels build consumer awareness and

    confidence1

    The state owned insurance companies such as 4IC and 'IC ha!e limited number of policies to offer to theirsubscribers while in case of pri!ate insurance companies# their policy numbers are many more and the

    premium amount as well as the maturity period is much competiti!e as against those of go!ernment insurance

    companies1 The pri!ate sector insurance players ha!e started e6ploring the rural mar0ets in which until

    recently# the state owned companies had the monopoly1

    =ere it can be concluded that the summer internship program# done for partial fulfillment of the B1C9M course

    in M1' ni!ersity# in TATA AI' 4ife Insurance Co1 4td1 has been completed successfully1
