    There is a vast difference between theory and practice. The practical training

    program is designed with the purpose of bridging gap between theory and

    practice. As such I am fortunate to have an opportunity to undergo my project

    and thus my practical training with SBI Life Insurance Company Limited.

    Summer training was an exposure to corporate functional environment. It was

    opportunity & great pleasure for me to be in Corporate Environment and having

    interaction with concerned people.

    INSURANCE:

    Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against

    the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss,

    from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium, and can be thought of as a guaranteed

    small loss to prevent a large, possibly devastating loss. An insurer is a company selling the

    insurance; an insured or policyholder is the person or entity buying the insurance. The

    insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount to be charged for a certain amount of

    6

  • 8/7/2019 ravi paliwal

    7/89

    insurance coverage, called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and

    controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

    It is one of those things that one would not like to think and talk about but if you dont you may

    leave your family unprotected. In simple terms life insurance provides money for my family in the

    event that I die.

    It is a financial resource for my family and loved ones in case of my death. A Contract between

    me and the insurance company. Insurance is sharing the risk between company and

    individual

    In insurance two type of benefits risk cover and saving. Risks cover Consists of death

    accidental recovery and health.

    Insurance

    Risk cover Saving

    1. Death 2.Accidental recovery 3.Health

    When age is increase, risk is also increase, so premium is increase.

    Why we need insurance?

    Insurance is a basic need of a individual. Like every man eat food forgiving so insurance is

    necessary for every human life. If a person not has life insurance and he is died then his families

    face many financial troubles. So insurance is necessary need.

    History of Insurance: -

    In some sense we can say that insurance appears simultaneously with the appearance of human

    society. We know of two types of economies in human societies: money economies (with markets,

    money, financial instruments and so on) and non-money or natural economies (without money,

    markets, financial instruments and so on). The second type is a more ancient form than the first.

    In such an economy and community, we can see insurance in the form of people helping each

    other. For example, if a house burns down, the members of the community help build a new one

    Should the same thing happen to one's neighbors, the other neighbors must help. Otherwise,

    neighbors will not receive help in the future. This type of insurance has survived to the present day

    in some countries where modern money economy with its financial instruments is not widespread

    (for example countries in the territory of the former Soviet Union).

    The concept of insurance is that people exposed to the same risk come together and agreed to

    share a loss collectively if any of their members suffers it from that risk.

    Insurance companies play the role of implementing this concept-

    a) They bring together people exposed to the similar risk

    b) They collect members contribution in advance in the shape of premiums and create a

    fund out of which the losses are paid

    11

    a) Providing financial security to the family

    72/89

  • 8/7/2019 ravi paliwal

    73/89

    It is most common instrument whether administered in person by phone or online

    questionnaires are very flexible. The form of each question is also important. Closed end question

    include all the possible answers and subjects matters choices among them.

    I have used open-end questions so that customers can write answer in their own

    words.

    I have also used closed-end questions, which provide answers that are easier to

    interpret and tabulate. I have taken care in the wording and ordering of questions. I have used

    simple, direct, unbiased wording questions, which are arranged in a logical order. I have asked

    personal questions at last so that respondent does not become defensive.

    Questionnaire of the customer

    I have made questionnaire consisting seventeen questions to get customers view about life

    insurance. I have asked personal questions at last so that they do not become defensive. I have

    tried to know their performance i.e. whether they want to invest, where thy want to invest, up to what

    amount and since when.

    1. SAMPLING METHOD AND SAMPLE SIZE

    Introduction:-

    Any organization whether big or small, private or public need different types of information are to know

    its popularity. I have gathered secondary data and primary data and collected information from the

    combination of these two data.

    Secondary data: -

    73

  • 8/7/2019 ravi paliwal

    74/89

    Secondary data consist of information that already exists somewhere, having been collected for

    another purpose. I have gathered secondary data from website of different operators, different

    magazines, newspapers and libraries.

    Primary data: -

    I have taken great care while collecting primary data to answer that it is relevant, accurate, current and

    unbiased. I have taken a sample of 50 people. I have visited them personally to get data.

    Sample size: -

    I have taken sample size of 50 respondents. Because the population is too large so it is difficult

    to survey.

    2. LIMITATIONS

    I am a human hang, so there is some limitation of the human hangs which is reflected in this

    research. The following are the limitation of this research study.

    1. The sample size of 50 might not represent the perception of whole population, as the sample

    size is too small for total population of Jhalawar city.

    2. The opinion expressed by the respondents may be biased.

    3. The attitude of the research might be biased.

    4. One of the most influencing and most critical limitations is that I am not trained for the research

    study and this is my first study. I tried hard to come at conclusion, but there is lack of expertise.

    5. Another limitation is that there is lack of time. If I give more time then studies will be more

    effective.

    There are some limitations of this study. But in spite of their limitation I worked with the enthusiasm.

    And I tried to give the best results to the research of this report.

    ANALYSIS OF QUESTIONNAIRE

    Here I have formed a questionnaire to study why people go for life insurance. What is peoples major

    motive behind investing in life insurance? Do they decide upon their own or they take guidance of an

    agent? What is their perception about SBI Life Insurance Company Limited?

    Questions:-

    There are 7 questions in the questionnaire. Out of these 7 questions, 6 questions are close ended and

    one question is an open ended one.

    Target Population:-

    I had conducted this survey among 50 people, and the target group was a mix of people from the

    society. I asked the questions to Doctors, Professionals, Professors, Advocates, Engineers, and

    general public.

    Analysis:-

    I have used pie charts, and some other statistical measures to analyze the questions.

    Q.1 what is the main motive of persons behind investing in life insurance?

    (a) Tax Benefit

    (b) Savings

    (c) Risk Cover

    (d) Return/Yield

    75

  • 8/7/2019 ravi paliwal

    76/89

    There could be any motive of people behind investing in a life insurance policy. The main purpose of

    life insurance is the Risk cover of ones life. But some people consider different advantages of a life

    insurance policy. Some people consider Tax benefit as the main advantage of life insurance. Some

    believe that life insurance is an investment so they tend to invest in life insurance. While some people

    believe that it is a compulsory saving. Now lets see what all people say

    TAX

    SAVING

    RISK

    COVERAGE

    RETURN/YIELD

    Here we can see that majority of the people tend to invest in life insurance for the risk coverage. The

    next preferred option is Tax Saving. We founded from the discussion with public and some experts that

    those people with a low income tend to invest in life insurance to gain tax benefit.

    Saving motive constitutes very small part of the total sample. Return comes last.

    But this is the general conclusion of 50 people. If we take a larger sample, we can get a different result.

    MOTIVE NO.

    TAX 20

    SAVING 5

    RISK COVERAGE 23

    As the private players have launched ULIPs, more and more people are turning towards these products

    so the Investment motive has been gaining command. Also the number of those people who wish to

    invest for return is also increasing.

    According to a life insurance expert (Vinod Thakkar ), life insurance is for protection first then forSavings and Tax benefits all those things.

    Q.2 Rank the above motives according to people preference.

    We can see from the table and the graph that the number one motive of people about investing in life

    insurance is risk coverage, which is the main theme of life insurance followed by Tax benefit. The third

    position is of saving and fourth is Return. This shows that still people consider other financial tools

    more viable for return and life insurance is for Tax benefit and risk cover.

    Whole Life

    Endowment

    Combined

    ULIPs

    As it is evident from the chart and the table 38% people prefer combination of Whole Life and

    Endowment product. It gives people double advantage. The person would get some amount at the end

    of the stipulated period; for instance 20 years, and after that period the risk cover continues and the

    rest of the amount would be paid when the person dies.

    Q.5 Would People prefer SBI Life Insurance or LIC for buying the life insurance policy?

    81/89

    This is the most important question as it reflects the scope of the study. It is the main theme of this

    questionnaire.

    Prior to 2000 LIC was the only player in the life insurance market and it had the total market. So people

    had to go to LIC for buying life insurance policy. But after the entry of private players in 2000, some

    people have also turned to private life insurers.

    SBI Life Insurance Company Limited is newly launched company as compared to LIC. So it has fewer

    customers as compared to LIC. But the ULIP plans are sold more of SBI as compared to LIC in todays

    environment.

    Now lets see what people say:

    As evident from the chart that 30% of people would preferSBI Life Insurance while 70% would prefer LIC.

    Particulars No.

    OBSERVATIONS & FINDINGS

    This sales promotion process was very much satisfying for me not only practically andacademically but it also helped me in developing my communication skill and enriched my knowledgealso.

    I have come to know about the importance of marketing especially with regard to Sales promotionon the most renowned organization like SBI Life. Especially because of emergence of many

    85

    86/89

    competitor with excellence in services & competitive product. The base of this chapter conclusion is onthe data analysis or what we say findings.

    I have finding from the insurance care consultants of the SBI Life Insurance and theiinsurance policies on my topic.

    When the insurance care consultant is asked why they are dealing in this particular insurancepolicies (product) they mostly stressed on companys image. They also said that all income and agegroup of customers are attracted towards their product but buyers are mainly from higher and middle-income group.

    Insurance care consultants said that their sale is very much increased in the last years because of

    an excellent performance of the product. Insurance care consultants said that the customer are very

    much satisfied after getting insurance policies because of its features related with risks of life and also

    because of quality of service provide by their company is very good.

    SUGGESTION

    1. The agent must have to update knowledge about their products and services day to day.

    2. The agent should have the knowledge about the competitors products also.

    3. SBI should focus forwards more number of females to take policies to their children.

    4. The company should more focus on the rural market by personal selling and

    advertisement.

    5. The agent must have healthy relationship with the customer after the policy policy

    logined.

    6. The SBI should concentrate the age group of 18-30, who are considered as a prospect to

    take insurance policies.
