Before 1947, large amount of premium was collected by Indian
insurance companies for long times. After establishment of life insurance

insurance companies have been established. Post liberalization period is found
fertile for insurance business. Recently 2017,government of Nepal issued

approval by “Beema Samitti”.
Currently, 9 life insurance companies and 17 non-life insurance
companies are operating in the country. Of these companies, The Oriental
Insurance Company and Life Insurance Company are operating as branch
offices of Indian insurance companies.
5. Nepalese Insurance Market Segmentation by Products
There are more than 150 different types of policies that people can choose from. But the
majors are classified under four categories. They are stated bellow:
1.3.1 Life Insurance
In general, life insurance is a type of coverage that pays benefits upon a person’s death
or disability. In exchange for relatively small premiums paid in the present, the policyholder
receives the assurance that a large amount of money will be available in the future to help his or
her beneficiaries pay debts and funeral expenses. Some forms of life insurance can also be
used as a tax-deferred investment to provide funds during a person’s lifetime for retirement or
everyday living expenses. The life insurance includes term, endowment and whole life
insurance.
1.3.2 Non-Life Insurance
Non-life Insurance is also called General insurance, which includes automobile and home
owners policies. It provides payment depending on the loss from a particular financial event.
General insurance typically comprise any insurance that is not determined to be life insurance
1.3.3 Other Products
i. Third Party Insurance: This policy ensures that third parties involved in an incident are
protected. So, for example, if you were to crash into another car and the accident was deemed
to be your fault, then your liability to the driver of the other car would be covered, although you
would not be able to claim for damage to your own. This is particularly the case the driver is
considered by the insurance company to be a high risk, or the car value is low so it is unlikely to
get a pay-out through an insurance claim.
ii. Health Insurance: One of the most important types of insurance to have is health
insurance. Your good health is what allows you to work and earn money and otherwise enjoy life.
If you were to come down with a sickness or have an accident without health insurance you may
find yourself unable to receive treatment or even in debt to the hospital.

12. Fundamental Analysis Insurance sector
Non-life Insurance Sector
As being analyst, there is rumor in the market insurance companies are
overvalued comparing with EPS and P/E ratio. First of all traders can know in all sector only
EPS and P/E ratio analysis is not sufficient to invest in stock market.
As for Beema Samiti rule Non-life insurance companies, given below:-
1- An amount not less than 50% of the Net Profit to deposited in the insurance fund and
50% of the profit earned until the amount equals the paid-up capital of the insurer operating
the Non-life Insurance Business.
2- In the case of Marine Insurance, the amount to be deposited to the reserve fund for at
least three years shall not be considered to be profit.
3- An amount of one hundred fifteen percent of the remaining amounts of the payment
against the claim made by the Insurer before the expiry of each fiscal year.
4- The Insurer may spend up to twenty-five percent in the case of Marine Insurance and up
to thirty percent in the case of other Insurance for the management functions out of the total
amount of the income generated from the premium while operating the Insurance Business.
Provided that, the amount spent for the establishment and mechanization of the Insurance
office shall not be included in the management expenses.
