Insurance Imperfections• The Principle of utmost good faith
– It is generally applied, yet in case of minute necessities, it is avoided.
– Eg. The place form where the man who is insured is not examined with much vigor as what caused his accident.
• Agent/Staff Manipulation– Although the company claims that the customers of another
company is off limits, however, if it is in the company's interest it could attract staffs and agents from another companies

Insurance Imperfections• Difference in risk calculation
– Although not an imperfection, risk is calculated separately for separate individual
– Eg. A person with AIDS yet good financial backing and healthy habits may have to pay less premium then a person with AIDS but insecure finance and unhealthy habits.
– Thus, risk for each person is calculated uniquely.

Claim Settlement Process• A claim is the payment made by the insurer to the
insured or claimant on the occurrence of the event specified in the contract, in return for the premiums paid for the insured.
• Based on information, Assessment and Decision• While asking for requirements the company
considers– The Sum at risk– Cause– Circumstances of claim
www.company.com
Claim Settlement Process• Eg. For accidental death, specific proofs such as
Post Mortem and Police Report are required whereas for death due to illness, the Company calls for records from hospital, test reports, etc.
• The nominee (in case of minor nominee) last recorded under the Policy in case of Policy on own life.
• The proposer in case the Policy is not on own life.• Assignee in case the Policy was assigned.• Life Assured himself in case of policy on own life for
living benefit claims (Eg Critical Illness rider)

Calculation of Premium• Based on Occupation
– People with riskier jobs pay more amount of premium
• Based on Financial hazard– Risk also depends upon jobs a person undertakes and
his commission
• Based on Moral Hazard– Primarily based on morals and motives of people– People in various regions have to face various risks
thus, risk also changes

Scope of Re-insurance• Re-insurance still lacks a proper scope in Nepal• It is mainly due to:
– Poor Economy of our country– Unstable political condition– Lack of developmental activities– Lack of investment
• Hence a re-insurance company cannot sustain in Nepal.
• Finally, an economy like ours would not be able to sustain a collapse of a re-insurance company
• So, all re-insurance is done abroad
