Insurance
 Purpose: pooling of risks
 sharing of losses
 transferring risk
 Basic Principle: insurable interest, indemnity,
subrogation, contribution, disclosure, utmost
faith, relevance of proximate cause

What is Insurance?
 The first quarter of FY24 saw nonlife players' premium income increase by
17.9% year-over-year to Rs. 64,262.8 crore (US$ 7.72 billion) due to strong
demand for health and motor policies.
 The government’s flagship initiative for crop insurance, Pradhan Mantri
Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), has led to significant growth in the premium
income for crop insurance
 As per the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India
(IRDAI), India will be the sixth-largest insurance market within a
decade, leapfrogging Germany, Canada, Italy and South Korea.
 India allowed private companies in insurance sector in 2000, setting a limit
on FDI to 26%, which was increased to 49% in 2014 and further increased
to 74% in the Union Budget (Feb 2021).
 The market share of private sector companies in the non-life insurance
market rose from 15% in 2004 to 62% in FY23.
 Private insurers like HDFC, ICICI and SBI have been some tough
competitors for providing life as well as non-life products to the insurance
sector in India.
Key facts
 The life insurance industry is expected to increase at a
CAGR of 5.3% between 2019 and 2023. India’s insurance
penetration was pegged at 4.2% in FY21, with life
insurance penetration at 3.2% and non-life insurance
penetration at 1.0%. In terms of insurance density,
India’s overall density stood at US$ 78 in FY21.
Life Insurance trends
 India is the 4th largest general insurance market in Asia and the 14th
largest globally.
 In FY23, non-life insurers (comprising general insurers, standalone health
insurers and specialized insurers) recorded a 16.4% growth in gross direct
premiums. In India, gross premiums written off by non-life insurers reached
US$ 31 billion in FY23 and US$ 10.95 billion in first quarter of FY24*, from
US$ 28.14 billion in FY22, driven by strong growth from general insurance
companies.
 Going forward, general insurance companies will be key beneficiaries of the
opening-up of economies, especially with improved trade activity increasing
demand for motor and health insurance. Strong growth in the automotive
industry over the next decade is expected to boost the motor insurance
market

 Neo Banking: Digital Banks with no physical presence,
reducing infrastructure and administrative costs and
fostering innovation. In India, they are not allowed to
function in solo, they rely on bank partners to provide
services For eg: Razorpay X,Jupiter, Niyo, Open.
Challenges include lack of trust, limited services,
regulatory hurdles.
 Open banking: banking practice that will allow third
party financial providers access to financial data across
the banking sector by use of application programming
interfaces(APIs). Account aggregator service allowed in
India is a step in this direction.
