Insurance has become an integral aspect in everyone's life today. It is a written contract of insurance that
offers protection against future loss. The life insurance generally helps to insure the life of people. A definite
compensation is provided by the insurer to the insured person. The non-life insurance provides financial
support to people or companies and helps them to overcome the losses. The basic human trait is to be averse
to the idea of taking risks. There is always an urge to minimize the risks and provide protection against
possible failure. The risk includes fire, the perils of sea, death, accidents and burglary. Any risk may be
insured against at a premium commensurate with the risk involved. Thus collective bearing of risk is
insurance that provides reasonable degree of security and assurance that insured will be protected in the
event of a calamity or failure of any sort.

What is insurance -
Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss. It is a form of risk management,
primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent or uncertain loss.
An entity which provides insurance is known as an insurer, insurance company, insurance carrier or
underwriter. A person or entity who buys insurance is known as an insured or as a policyholder. The
insurance transaction involves the insured assuming a guaranteed and known relatively small loss in the
form of payment to the insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise to compensate the insured in the event
of a covered loss. The loss may or may not be financial, but it must be reducible to
LIFE Insurance -
Life insurance (or life assurance, especially in the commonwealth of nations) is a contract between an
insurance policy holder and an insurer o, where the insurer promises to pay a designated Beneficial a sum of
money (the Benefit) in exchange for a premium, upon the death of an insured person (often the policy
holder). Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also trigger
payment. The policy holder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum. Other expenses,
such as funeral expenses, can also be included in the Benefits.
Life policies are legal contracts and the terms of the contract describe the limitations of the insured events.
Specific exclusions are often written into the contract to limit the liability of the insurer; common examples
are claims relating to suicide, fraud, war, riot, and civil commotion.
Modern life insurance bears some similarity to the Asset Management industry and life insurers have
diversified their products into retirement products such as annuities Life-based contracts tend to fall into two
major categories:
