INSURANCE

The business of insurance is related to the protection of the economic values of assets.

Every asset has a value; the assets would have been created through the efforts of the

owner. The asset is valuable to the owner, because he expects to get some benefits from

it. The benefit may be an income or something else. It is a factory or a cow, the product

generated by is sold and income generated. In the case of a motor car, it provides comfort

and convenience in transportation. There is no direct income.

Every asset is expected to last for a certain period of time during which it will perform.

After that, the benefit may not be available. There is a life-time for a machine in a factory

or a cow or a motor car. None of them will lose for ever. The owner is aware of this and

he can so manage his affairs that by the end of that period of life-time, a substitute is

made available. Thus, he makes sure that the value of income is not lost. However, the

asset may get lost earlier. An accident or some other unfortunate event may destroy it or

make it non financial. In that case, the owner and those deriving benefits there from,

would be deprived of the benefit and the planned substitute would not have been ready.

There is an adverse or unpleasant situation. Insurance is a mechanism that helps to reduce

the effect of such adverse situation.

HISTORY

The business of insurance started with marine business. Traders, who used to gather in

the Lloyd’s coffee house in London, agreed to share the losses to their goods while being

carried by ships. The losses used to occur because of pirates who robbed on the high seas

or because of bad weather spoiling the goods or sinking the ship. The first insurance

policy was issued in 1583 in England. In India, insurance began in 1876 with life

insurance being transacted by an English company, the European and the Albert. The first

Indian insurance company was the Bombay Mutual Assurance Society Ltd, formed in

1870. This was followed by the Oriental Life Assurance Co. in 1874, the Bharat in 1896

and the Empire of India in 1897.

Table 1: milestone’s in the life insurance business in India

Year Milestones in the life insurance business in India

1912 The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life insurance business

1928 The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses

1938 Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with the objective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.

1956 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over by the central government and nationalised. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956, with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.

Later, the Hindustan Cooperative was formed in Calcutta, the United India in

Madras, the Bombay Life in Mumbai, the National in Calcutta, the New India in

Mumbai, the Jupiter in Mumbai and the Lakshmi in New Delhi. These were all Indian

companies, started as a result of the swadeshi movement in the early 1900s. By the year

1956, when the life insurance was nationalized and the Life Insurance Corporation of

India (LIC) was formed on 1st September 1956, there were 170 companies and 75

provident fund societies transacting life insurance business in India. After the amendment

to the relevant laws in 1999, the L.I.C. did not have the exclusive privilege of doing life

insurance business in India. By 31.3.2002, eleven new insurers had been registered and

and had begun to transact life insurance business in India.

WHY INSURANCE IS NEEDED

Assets are insured, because they are likely to be destroyed, through accidental

occurrences. Such possible occurrences are called perils, Fire, floods, breakdown,

lightning, earthquakes, etc, are perils. If such perils can cause damage to the asset, we say

that the asset is exposed to that risk. Perils are the events. Risks are the consequential

losses or damages. The risk to a owner of a building, because of the peril of an

earthquake, may be a few lakhs or few crores of rupees, depending on the cost of the

building and the contents in it.

The risk only means that there is a possibility of loss or damage. The damage may or may

not happen. Insurance is relevant only if there are uncertainties. If there is no uncertainty

about the occurrence of an event, it cannot be insured against. In the case of a human

being, death is certain, but the time of death is uncertain, In the case of a person who is

terminally ill, the time of death is not uncertain, though not exactly known. He cannot be

insured.

Insurance does not protect the asset. It does not prevent its loss due to the peril. The peril

cannot be avoided through insurance. The peril can sometimes be avoided, through better

safety and damage control management. Insurance only tries to reduce the impact of the

risk and the owner of the assets and those who depend on that asset. It only compensates

the losses – and that too, not fully.

Only economic consequences can be insured. If the loss is not financial, insurance may

not be possible. Examples of non economic losses are love and affection of parents,

leadership of managers, sentimental attachments to family heirlooms, innovative and

creative abilities, etc.

INSURANCE INDUSTRY OF INDIA

Indian economy is the 12th largest in the world, with a GDP of $1.25 trillion and 3rd

largest in terms of purchasing power parity. With factors like a stable 8-9% annual

growth, rising foreign exchange reserves, a booming capital market and rapidly

expanding FDI inflows, it is on the fulcrum of an ever-increasing growth curve.

Insurance is one major sector that has been on ascent since the revival of Indian

economy. Taking into account the huge population and growing per capita income

besides several other driving factors, a huge opportunity is in store for the insurance

companies in India. Nearly 80% of Indian population is without life insurance covering

while health insurance and non-life insurance continues to be below international

standards. And this part of the population is also subjected to weak social security and

pension systems with hardly any old age income security. Insurance in India is primarily

used as a means to improve personal finances and for income tax planning. There is a

tendency to invest in properties and gold followed by bank deposits with a slight

investment in Stocks and Shares.

This in itself is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector is immense. It’s

a business growing at the rate of 15-20% per annum and presently is of the order of $47.9

billion.

The various fields covered by insurance companies in India include:

Life Insurance: For students, children, family, individual etc.

Health insurance: For self, for family, accidental insurance premium etc.

Non-life insurance: Home or House Insurance and other property insurance Auto

Insurance (for cars, motorcycle and other two-wheelers, commercial vehicles),

Infrastructure Projects Insurance, Travel Insurance, real estate insurance, mobile

insurance etc.

Apart from life insurance all the insurances are known as General Insurance.

LIFE INSURANCE

With the entry of private sector players backed by foreign expertise, Indian life insurance

market has become more vibrant. Competition in this market is increasing with

companies continues effort to lure the customers with new product offerings. However,

the market share of private insurance companies remains in the 10-15% range. Even

today, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India dominates Indian insurance sector and

in the year 2007-08 it has sold 3.75 Crore Policies collecting Rs. 43813 Crore as

Premium. The heavy hand of government still dominates the market, with price controls,

limits on ownership, and other restraints.

Total market share of different insurance companies as on 2008 December

GENERAL INSURANCE

The biggest player in this sector is the General Insurance Company. In 1972, the General

Insurance Company was nationalized with four main subsidiaries National Insurance

Company, New India Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance Company and United India

Insurance Company.

This situation is fast changing and recently the State-owned non-life insurance

companies have lost further market share in the first quarter of 2007-08, as the industry

slowly adjusts to a free-pricing market. The slower growth among state-owned

companies has resulted in ICICI Lombard displacing public sector Oriental Insurance to

become the fourth-largest insurer in India.

In the first quarter, non-life insurance has grown 13.4%, taking the total premium to Rs

8,437 crore, up from Rs 7,438 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. The growth

has largely come from private companies that have grown 22.4% against public sector

companies that have grown much slower at 7.7%. Unlike life insurance where

government presence is through the monolithic Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), the

government owns four companies in non-life — New India, Oriental Insurance, National

Insurance and United India. The state-owned companies now account for 58% of non-life

premium compared with 61% a year ago.

The highest growth rates have been recorded by Cholamandalam (35%), followed by

Iffco-Tokio (33%), Tata AIG (28.12%) and Bajaj Allianz (27.85%).

Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority IRDA The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) is a national agency of the

Government of India, based in Hyderabad. It was formed by an act of Indian Parliament

known as IRDA Act 1999, which was amended in 2002 to incorporate some emerging

HOMESURANCE

The Homesurance Protection Plan is a reducing term plan, which provides insurance

cover equal to the outstanding balance of your home loan. In the unfortunate event of

death of the home loan borrower, the insurance cover enables repayment of the home

loan liability.

BONDSURANCE

Bondsurance is a single premium plan which allows you to make a one-time investment

and get a guaranteed amount on maturity. You can choose a maturity period of 5 or 10

years for your investment. At the end of the chosen period, you will receive a guaranteed

maturity amount. Besides the guaranteed maturity amount, Bondsurance also provides a

life insurance cover. In case of death before the maturity date, a Death Benefit which is

also guaranteed will be paid. Thus you can get life insurance cover, while earning an

assured return on your investment.

RETIRESURANCE

Retiresurance is a pension plan without life cover that allows a longer policy term so that

the customer’s investments can get the benefit of compounding. The customer has to

choose any vesting age between 40-75 yrs. The vesting age chosen can also be postponed

or preponed within the above range by informing the company 30 days in advance. It is

especially for people who wish to lead a happy and prosperous life even after their

retirement.

Microsurance™ Plan The IDBI Fortis Group Microsurance Plan provides affordable life insurance cover to

groups. The plan is extremely useful to Micro Finance Institutions, Self Help Groups and

Healthsurance™ Hospitalisation and Surgical Plan A Health Plan Without The Headaches

Why Healthsurance™?

Every year, millions of adults in India are admitted to hospitals due to illness or injury.

Even If you think it won’t happen to you, there is unfortunately a very real chance that it

will. The costs involved in even the shortest hospital stay can be difficult to meet for

many individuals and families. On top of the costs of the treatment itself, household bills

still need to be paid and there could be extra costs to cover, such as travel expenses for

family visits and additional childcare costs.

What is Healthsurance™?

Presenting IDBI Fortis Healthsurance™ Hospitalisation and Surgical Plan*. If you’re

aged 18 years to 55 years and currently in good health, this new insurance plan is

designed to help you manage the extra financial burden that comes with hospitalisation,

by providing a wide range of attractive benefits.

Out of those eight major insurance policy, in my summer internship training we are

trained for only Wealthsurance and Incomesurance policy which is considered to be two

of the best insurance policies provided by IDBI Fortis.

So here I describe the two insurance policies in detail.

WEALTHSURANCE Wealthsurance offers you Insured Wealth Plans. They allow you to create build and

manage wealth by giving several choices and great flexibility so that your plan meets

your specific needs. You can decide how you wish to save so that it suits your savings

habit. You can choose how your money is invested so that you can grow wealth as per

your investment preferences. What is even better, Wealthsurance protects your wealth

plans with insurance benefits so that your wealth-building efforts remain unaffected in

unforeseen events and your financial goals can still be achieved.

What is Wealthsurance?

Wealthsurance combines wealth creation and insurance protection into one powerful

financial solution. Unlike other investment alternatives, it allows you to ensure that your

goals of wealth creation are achieved even in the event of serious illness, accidents,

disablement or death.

Wealth Plan with a powerful range of Investment Choices

Wealth creation does not happen by chance, it needs a plan.

Wealthsurance is a wealth plan which allows you to build and manage wealth. You can

save into the Plan as much money as you want, whether at one time, at regular intervals

or as per your convenience. Wealthsurance offers a wide choice of investment options

from which you can select one or more, based on your preferences.

The investment options we offer are designed to meet the needs of all types of investors

depending upon their risk appetite, stage of life or investment horizon. You can choose

options that give

(a) Assured fixed returns, (b) variable returns linked to market performance or (c) returns

linked to equity market but with protection of capital. Wealth grows in your plan based

on the options you have chosen.

Wealth Plan can be insured against unforeseen events

Wealthsurance can protect your Wealth Plan against a range of events such as death,

terminal illness, 17 major diseases sickness requiring hospitalization, serious accidental

injuries or total and permanent disablement. With other investment products, if any such

event happens, you may not be able to save as planned or even be forced to withdraw

from your savings. But in Wealthsurance, these benefits allow you to meet additional

expenses without affecting your fund value so that your plans to save and accumulate

wealth are not affected even if life throws surprises. Once you sign up for it, your

Wealthsurance Plan works even if you are not able to.Wealth grows better under a

protective cover because life’s uncertainties cannot deplete wealth, which otherwise they

would normally do.

Wealthsurance is for those who will live. Life insurance is sometimes thought of as for

those who might die, but Wealthsurance is for those who will live. Usually life insurance

products provide benefits upon death, but

Wealthsurance is designed to also give Living Benefits to ensure your well-being in your

own lifetime.

How does Wealthsurance work?

Wealthsurance gives you

(a) Investment Account and

(b) Insurance Account. My Investment Account

From the premiums you pay, Premium Allocation Charge is deducted. The balance

amount goes into the investment options you choose in the proportion you specify. IDBI

Fortis Investment Basket contains all the investment options we offer.

The balance in your Investment Account reflects the wealth built over time from your

premium contributions and the returns from the investment options chosen by you.

My Insurance Account

You can also choose any of the insurance benefits we offer under IDBI Fortis Insurance

Basket. You pay for only those benefits you choose and the charges are deducted from

your Investment Account.

My Wealthsurance Plan: Get the one you need

Wealthsurance has many options so that you can choose what suits your circumstances.

You can make your Wealthsurance Plan in two ways.

Ready Plans for typical needs

We have developed several Ready Plans to meet the typical needs of customers. A Ready

Plan is simply a set of pre-chosen options of the Wealthsurance Foundation Plan. Each

Ready Plan is aimed at a specific need. There is quite likely a Ready Plan that suits your

needs in which case you can simply choose the Plan.

Custom Plan for specific needs

If a Ready Plan does not meet your needs, you can design your own Custom

Wealthsurance Plan with 5 simple steps:

Step 1: Choose the premiums you wish to contribute

Step 2: Choose the investment options your money goes into

Step 3: Choose the Sum Insured for Life and Terminal Illness Benefit

Step 4: Choose the optional insurance benefits you need

Step 5: Choose Plan Term based on your horizon for building wealth and for enjoying

insurance benefits.

PREMIUM MODE

Pay premiums in a flexible manner: Build wealth easily with convenient savings

Wealthsurance allows you to save in a manner that best suits your savings habit. It is very

flexible in premium contributions. You can save in a disciplined manner and also get

flexibility to contribute additional amounts whenever you have extra money.

Wealthsurance allows you to pay premiums just one time or for a limited period and yet

enjoy insurance benefits for a long period. Flexible premiums allow you to build wealth

in a convenient manner and also get tax benefits. Types of Premiums

Wealthsurance has two types of premiums: (a) Basic Premiums and (b) Top-up

Premiums.

(a) Basic Premiums

When you choose your Wealthsurance Plan, you have to indicate the premiums you wish

to contribute. These are your Basic Premiums. You can choose either Single Premium or

Regular Premium.

Single Premium: If you choose Single Premium, you have to simply make a one-time

payment at the time of taking the Plan.

Minimum amount is Rs 20,000.

Regular Premium: If you choose Regular Premium, you have to indicate (a) Amount, (b)

Frequency of payment and

(c) Payment Term. Minimum amount is Rs 10,000 per year, payable in quarterly, half-

yearly or annual installments as you choose.

Minimum amount is Rs 1,000 per month, if you choose monthly payment mode.

Minimum premium payment period is 3 years.

(b) Top-up Premiums

Over and above the Basic Premiums, you can pay Top-up Premiums. Minimum amount

is Rs 5,000 at a time and you can pay whenever you want and any number of times until

the maturity of your Plan. Top-ups allow you to contribute additional premiums if and

when you want, grow wealth at your convenience and get tax benefits. Top-up Premiums

can be paid only if you have paid all the Basic Regular Premiums due till date.

Top-up Premiums may require additional sum insured

If total of Top-up Premiums paid exceed 25% of Basic Premiums paid (whether Single or

Regular) till the date of any Top-up, the excess amount should have life insurance cover

equal to 125%. to ensure that you have flexibility to pay the amount of Top-up

Premiums you want please choose a higher Sum Insured at the time of taking

Wealthsurance Plan. You can also apply to us to increase Sum Insured at a later date if

you so wish.

Best of both worlds

Basic Premiums enable you to become a disciplined saver and invest in a systematic,

methodical way to build wealth. Top-up Premiums give you the flexibility to contribute

additional premiums whenever you have extra money so that you can reach your goals

faster. Together, they give you great flexibility to save, invest and grow wealth.

No premium allocation charge

100% of your premium is allocated to the investment

options chosen by you. There is no premium allocation charge.

Eligibility Conditions

Any person over the age of 18 years can apply to us to take a Wealthsurance Plan. You

can designate yourself or any other person (in whom you have insurable interest) as the

Insured Person. The Insured Person should be at least one month old but not more than

65 years old. Age of the Insured Person cannot exceed 75 years at the end of Plan Term.

Wealthsurance allows you to pay premiums and get tax benefits for yourself, while the

IDBI Fortis Investment Basket: Tools for building your wealth

upon the market performance. These are suitable for those who want to invest in equity

markets, without fear of loss of principal.

Market Fund Options

We offer a range of funds that invest in stocks, bonds and money market. The returns on

these funds are dependent upon the market performance. Returns and risk vary by the

type of fund.

Manage yourself or leave it to us. We offer two ways in which you can manage your

investments:

Do-it-yourself: You can decide to invest in the various options and change them from

time to time, as you wish. This is suitable when you have a specific idea where you wish

to invest or you have the time and inclination to manage your investments from time to

time.

Leave-it-to-us: Alternatively, you can leave it entirely to us to manage your investment

strategy from time to time by simply indicating how much risk you are prepared to take.

We give you a choice of three risk levels: Cautious, Moderate and Aggressive.

Equity exposure is restricted, based on the risk level you choose.

MAJOR INVESTMENT AREAS OF WEALTHSURANCE

Types of Investment Options (FUNDS)

We offer five types of Investment Options: (a) Monthly Interest Account which gives interest at a

declared rate on your account balance, (b) Guaranteed Return Funds which give fixed, assured

returns for a specified period, (c) Capital

Guaranteed Funds which ensure that your principal is protected even while investing in stocks, (d)

Market Linked Funds where you can choose to invest in stocks, bonds or money market and get

market returns, (e) Asset Allocator Funds where

you can leave the management of your funds entirely to us, by simply indicating the level of risk you

are prepared to take.

1. Fixed Return Options: When you want fixed, assured returns

A. Monthly Interest Account

Risk: Low

Monthly Interest Account gives you fixed interest on the account balance. You can choose to deposit

any proportion or all of your premiums into it, whether regular or top-up Premiums.

Your Account will earn interest at the declared rate on the daily outstanding balance. The balance in

your Account, consisting of premiums deposited and interest earned, is available to switch into any

other investment option and for withdrawals as permitted.

Interest Rate: At the beginning of each month, IDBI Fortis will declare a credit rate by way of

interest

for this Account. The interest rate will be declared out of the estimated income from the underlying

segregated portfolio of investments after (a) appropriation of fund management charge of 1%, and (b)

transfers to/from a smoothing reserve. Your account balance will grow each day at the declared

interest rate. Rates declared for the Account are available at www.idbifortis.com

The purpose of Monthly Interest Account is to provide a smoothed return to the investors from out of

the investment income of the underlying portfolio. For this purpose, a reserve for smoothing of

interest rate will be maintained.

Investment Pattern: The Monthly Interest Account is a segregated fund which will invest 100% of

the money in fixed income investments including government securities, treasury bills, bank deposits,

certificates of deposit, corporate securities, commercial paper, securitized papers, structured products,

money market instruments, etc. The fund may use derivatives to meet its objective to the extent

permitted by the applicable guidelines.

B. Guaranteed Return Funds

Risk: Low

Guaranteed Return Funds give you an assured, fixed return for a specified period. Each fund matures

on a specified date and carries a minimum Guaranteed Maturity Value for each unit. Each fund is

available for investment for a limited period after the opening date during which units are allotted

at the Net Asset Value. Upon maturity of the fund, you will receive the Net Asset Value as on the

maturity date or the Guaranteed Maturity Value for the units you hold, whichever is higher.

Available Funds: The available funds and the guaranteed maturity value for each unit that they carry

are declared by us from time to time. You can select a fund from those available at the time you pay

the premium. You can also switch into them when they are available. The available funds are given at

www.idbifortis.com

Liquidity: Guaranteed Return Funds mature on the specified date. However, if you wish, you can

redeem them before maturity at the Net Asset Value and the guarantee will not apply.

Investment Objective: Guaranteed Return Funds are segregated closed-ended funds with specific

maturity date and a minimum guaranteed maturity value per unit. They aim to generate a fixed return

by investing in fixed income instruments with maturities close to the maturity date of the fund and

follow a buy-and-hold strategy.

Investment Pattern: These funds invest up to 100% of the moneys in fixed income investments

including government securities, treasury bills, bank deposits, certificates of deposit, corporate

securities, commercial paper, securitized papers, structured products and money market instruments.

The fund may use derivatives to meet its objective to the extent permitted by the applicable

guidelines.

Fund Management Charge: A fund management charge of 1.5% p.a. will be appropriated while

computing the Net Asset Value of the Guaranteed Return Funds.

Dynamic Guaranteed Options: You can invest in stocks without losing the principal

C. Dynamic Guaranteed Funds

Risk: Medium

Dynamic Guaranteed Funds provide minimum guarantee of the highest Net Asset Value

(NAV) per unit achieved during the subscription period, on the specified maturity date.

This will be the minimum guaranteed NAV per unit. As the fund starts at Rs 10, the

minimum guaranteed NAV on the maturity date will also not be less than the face value

of Rs 10 per unit. Thus your entry NAV per unit is protected. Returns are, however, not

guaranteed and depend upon the performance of the equity portfolio of the fund and the

stock market.

Available Funds: Dynamic Guaranteed Funds are segregated closed-ended funds with

specified

maturity date. Each fund is available for investment for a limited period after the opening

date during

which units are allotted at the Net Asset Value. This limited period is called the

subscription period.

Upon maturity, you will receive the actual NAV per unit or the minimum guaranteed

NAV per unit,

whichever is higher, for the units you hold.

The available funds are declared by IDBI Fortis from time to time. You can select a

Dynamic

Guaranteed Fund from those available at the time you pay the premium. You can also

switch into

them when they are available. The available funds are given at www.idbifortis.com

Investment Strategy:

Dynamic Guaranteed Funds are managed using capital protection techniques including portfolio

insurance strategies and manage the exposure to equity and debt with a view to

obtaining equity exposure consistent with capital protection and the guaranteed maturity value. The

funds will implement ‘ratcheting’ strategy as decided by IDBI Fortis.Under‘ratcheting’, when the

Dynamic Guaranteed Funds have made returns over and above the amount needed to provide for

guaranteed value, the returns may be ‘locked-in’ by investing in debt so that you are assured of

those returns even if the market moves adversely in the future.‘Ratcheting’

may reduce future

exposure to equity.

Dynamic Guaranteed Funds may also use derivatives to meet their objectives to the extent permitted

by applicable guidelines.

Investment Pattern:

Dynamic Guaranteed Funds may invest up to 100% in equity or in fixed

income instruments including cash and money market. The fund may use derivatives to meet its

objective to the extent permitted by the applicable guidelines.

Liquidity: Dynamic Guaranteed Funds mature on the specified date. However, if you wish you can

also redeem them before maturity at the Net Asset Value, but the guarantee will not apply.

Fund Management Charge: A fund management charge of 1.35% p.a. plus an investment guarantee

charge of 0.90% p.a. will be appropriated while computing the Net Asset Value of the Dynamic

Guaranteed Funds.

3. Market Fund Options: For investing in stocks, bonds or money market

Market Linked Funds are similar to mutual funds. They are open-ended funds which invest in equity,

debt or money market as per their investment objectives. The Net Asset Value (NAV) of each fund is

published on a daily basis.

You can invest your premiums into, switch into or switch out of any fund at any time at the NAV.

Your gain or loss is the difference between the value at which you invested and the value at which

you exited. In Market Linked Funds, the

NAV depends on the market value of the underlying investments. The expected return and risk vary

by the Fund.

We offer the following funds:

Fund: D1. Equity Growth Fund

GENERAL INSTRUCTION

Minimum allocation to a fund: Minimum amount of premium direction or redirection in any

investment fund should be at least 15% of the annual premium.

Unit Price Formula: Calculation of unit price for a unit-linked fund depends on whether that fund

has net creations or redemptions on the valuation date. Net Asset Value for each unit is determined

as: Market value of investments plus expenses incurred in the purchase of assets (if the fund has net

unit creations) or less expenses incurred in the sale of assets (if the fund has net unit redemptions)

plus value of current assets plus accrued income net of management charges less current liabilities

less provisions, divided by the number of units on issue.

FINDINGS

⇒ People are becoming more and more money conscious as I find very less

person who doesn’t want to earn extra money.

⇒ People are very much aware of IDBI FORTIS among private companies as

they respond me first name of IDBI FORTIS and then others.

⇒ The overall scenario is that still people trust on LIC more than any other

insurance company. Some time when I asked someone to become an

advisor of IDBI FORTIS they misunderstood with LIC. For them still life

insurance means LIC.

⇒ Generally people are having leisure time of around 2-3 hours and still

want to utilize this time to earn extra money, if they can.

⇒ Contrary to the prior thinking most of the people don’t hesitate in doing

field work a roaming in the market for money. They know that without

hard work they can’t earn money.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

• Need to create and effectively deploy differentiated strategies in finding

out more resources to recruit insurance advisors.

• Right prospects identification and thus segmentation, which need to be

appropriate.

• Design and manage sales force, which yields high performance. More

training of the employees can be done so that they produce best result.

• Recruitment process needs to be slightly fast, so that prospects can retain

some confidence as in starting.

• Need to create better, differentiated detailed brochures for advisor’s

recruitment.

• Increase advisors sales force quality as well as quantity by employing

some HR professional, who time to time take some action for the

improvement of insurance advisors.

• More advertising strategies should be taken to grasp the attention of those

people who want to become insurance advisors.

• Make use of internet banking for increasing sales and also for promotion.

• There should be more incentives to insurance advisors they are the

backbone of the company in order to increase sales they have to do mare

efforts than others.

Generate some innovative and alternative channels of distribution, using the

sources that can straight play with the emotion of the person and influence so

high that it forces the human being to go for insurance and that to willingly.

Recruit those individuals that really want to take this job as a challenge.

CONCLUSION

For every insurance company life insurance advisors are the life line and a very huge

asset so each company try to recruit and select a potential force of life insurance advisors

because this is the advisors who generate maximum business for the insurance company.

Insurance advisors provide a very strong support to the insurance company and do all

possible effort to generate huge amount of profit to the company and for him.

In IDBI FORTIS recruitment and selection procedure is really very impressive. By the

help of this process, company recruits a very good class of advisors. A detail study is

done before starting the recruitment and selection procedure that help the company to

select the best advisors. The recruitment, selection and training process of insurance

advisors is a slight long process because of the training provided by the Insurance

Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA).

Form the detailed study of recruitment and selection procedure of the insurance advisors I

come on the conclusion that it is a very impressive process carried out by IDBI FORTIS.

This study helps us to understand all the possible aspects related to the IDBI FORTIS’s
