7. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Insurance is the pooling of fortuitous losses by transfer of such risk to insurers,
who agreed to provide the pecuniary benefit on their occurrence, or to render service
connected with risk. It is the transfer of financial responsibility for the risk at the point of
occurrence and conventionally involves the insurer in a commitment to pay. The
insurance service lead to efficient and productive allocation of capital resources,
facilitate growth of trade and commerce. Globalization will certainly increase insurance
penetration and all professionals shall equip themselves to exploit opportunities offered
by this sector.
The consumers are the largest economic group in any country and the present
day business activities are because of consumers only. Thus, consumers are the pillars
of the economy. The consumers are not only the heart of marketing system, but also the
controller of marketing functions. But it the modern marketing system consumers
sovereignty has become a myth on account of the variety of problems in the process of
merchandising. The study of consumer behavior enables marketers to understand and
predict consumer behavior in the market place; It also promote understanding of the
role that consumption plays in the lives of individual.
This gives me an opportunity to work on with this endeavor focusing on the
recruitments and growth of the company with special reference to the insurance
Page1
products’. The primary objective of the study is to understand the growth of the
8. company by studying the awareness of the financial products within the consumers and
the number of consumers who take the policy from HDFC SLIC. Apart from this the
project also mentions the necessity of recruitment of financial consultants. I have done
field work regarding the recruitment.

explains about the history of life insurance sector. It also contain the organizational
profile of HDFC SLIC, stating about its mile stones, vision, products, protection
solutions, advertising effectiveness and finally about its marketing strategies
and challenges.
The second chapter gives a glimpses idea about the area of dissertation i.e.
theoretical background of the study. This part clearly explains the theoretical part of
consumer behavior in general. It also includes statement of the problem, need and
impotents of the present study and focal objectives of the dissertation undertaken.
The third chapter explains about literature review. It briefly describes what all are
the information source for the present study and what benefits has derived from the
reference of those literatures.
Next part explains about the research methodology. With the basic
understanding of the study research design was formulated. To collect the data,
questionnaires consisting of 24 questions were prepared. The necessary data were
collected through personal interviews and interaction with both company personnel and
holders of life insurance policies. This chapter specifically explains about the type of
research, sample technique, sample size, actual collection of data and the tools used
for the testing of hypothesis.
The last but one chapter contains the analysis and interpretation of data
collected. The collected data was coded through tally bars and presented in percentage
wise and depicted in the form of graphical representation. It also includes the
hypothesis test about the overall result of the present study.
The last chapter is entirely the exploration of the research study giving all
respondents opinion in nutshell as findings i.e. stating that around percentage of
Page1
customers behave positively towards the HDFC SLIC’s products. The dissertation
9. ends up with the suggestions in order to modify the current system for a higher

INTRODUCTION TO THE SUBJECT
Introduction to Insurance
Insurance is a complex mechanism & it is consequently difficult to define. Insurance is
co-operative device for spreading over the loss suffered by one or more, caused by
particular risk, over large number of persons who agree to share the loss collectively.
We all are exposed to various risks in our daily life. Even the Wisest & Cleverest can't
avoid all risks. Nobody can predict or foresee the calamity he may suffer in future.
Everybody on the road, whether on foot or in a vehicle carries some risk.' of accident
which may result into serious injury, loss of limb impairing ability to earn livelihood, or
even death. One may take precautions against such risk, but the risk can't be
eliminated. Similarly, there can be loss due to fire, earthquakes, illness etc. Every loss
causes human suffering.
A risk involves loss. Not all, but most of the losses can be expressed in term of
money. A person exposed to some risk may incur a loss. If loss is small he may bear it
alone. If loss is huge he may not be able to bear it alone. Society may've to render help
to enable the sufferer to cope up with the situation. e.g., the help rendered to the victim
of earthquake in Gujarat. However it will be better if a device or system is developed to
provide help to those who happen to suffer a loss. Such a system is INSURANCE.
INSURANCE is a Co-operative device, which spreads, the loss caused by a par-
ticular risk to some person, over a number of person who are exposed to same or
Page1
similar risk & who agree to 'insure' against that risk.
10. DEFINITIONS:
Functional definition:
Insurance is an instrument of distributing the loss of a few among many. ALLEN C.
MAYERSON, "Insurance is a device for the transfer to an insured of certain risks of
economic loss that would otherwise be same by the insured."
Contractual definition:
JUSTICE TINDALL, "Insurance is a contract in which a sum of money is paid to the
assured in consideration of insurer's incurring the risk of paying a large sum upon a
given contingency."
CONCEPT OF INSURANCE
Insurance is always against the risk (Risk is a condition where there is a possibility
of an adverse deviation from a desired outcome that is expected or hoped for). When
risk is said to be exist, there must always be at least two outcomes: certain and
uncertain. Risk arises out of uncertainty. Therefore Insurance is for the loss arising out
of the uncertainty of an event.
Page1
11. Insurance is a mechanism or device to reduce the risk through risk sharing and
risk transfer. It is not the property, which is being insured. It is the person’s financial
interest in the property. So, Insurance provides the financial service.
However in simple terms, it has two characteristics:
1. Transferring or shifting of risk from one individual to a group;
2. Sharing losses, on some equitable basis, by all members of the Group.
KINDS OF INSURANCE
1. Life Insurance:
The subject matter of this type of insurance is human life. Most of insurance
policies are combination of saving & security. The insured is promised by the insurance
Co. that during the tenure of insurance in case of his death, his nominee will be paid the
insurance amount.
According to the SECTION 2 (ii) of Insurance Act 1938, "Life Insurance is the
business of effecting contracts of insurance upon human life including any contract,
whereby the payment of money is assured on death except death by accident on the
happening of any contingency dependent on human life and any contract which is
subject to the payment of premium for a team dependent on human life."
2. General Insurance:
(a) Marine Insurance:
It covers the sea or marine perils. Peril is the cause of loss or hazard, which is a
condition that may increase the chance of the loss. Marine Insurance is protection
against marine perils like loss or sinking of the ship, sea piracy, capture by enemy etc.
Page1
(b) Fire Insurance:
12. It covers loss due to fire to the property like houses, shops, goods factories or go down
etc.
(c) Liability Insurance:
Covers risk of liability against third party, which on insurer might have to pay under
certain circumstances. E.g. injury to the property and/or person of a third person in road
accident or employer's liability for an injury or death of a worker while performing duty
etc.
(d) Social Insurance:
This is aimed at providing social security to the weaker sections of the society. It may
take the shape of pension plans, disability or sickness benefits etc. The premium may
come from government or employee and may also be shared by beneficiary.
Life insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured
(or his nominee) on the happening of the event insured against.
The contract is valid for payment of the insured amount during:
1. The date of maturity, or
2. Specified dates at periodic intervals, or
3. Unfortunate death, if it occurs earlier.
Among other things, the contract also provides for the payment of premium periodically
to the Corporation by the policyholder. Life insurance is universally acknowledged to be
an institution, which eliminates 'risk', substituting certainty for uncertainty and comes to
the timely aid of the family in the unfortunate event of death of the breadwinner.
Reasons for investing in life insurance policies:
1. Protection for the Family
The most important objective of life insurance is to provide financial protection for the
family in case of an unexpected and premature death of its bread earner. The purpose
Page1
is to protect the dependents against the loss of earning power of the insured through
13. death or disability. Those who have insured their lives for an adequate sum can live in
peace and comfort, free of the worry of what would happen to their families in the event
of their sudden and premature death.
2. Regular Savings
Saving is not a physical need, unlike hunger or sleep. Many of us may not save unless
there is compulsion to do so. For such people, life insurance is a compulsory, regular
savings scheme, especially the monthly salary savings schemes. Even if you do not
subscribe to the salary savings scheme, you can issue standing instructions to your
bankers to pay the premium regularly without reference to you. The element
of savings in a life insurance contract should be understood in a proper
perspective.
FUNCTIONS OF INSURANCE
A). Primary Functions
1. Certainty of Compensation of Loss:
Insurance provides certainty of payment at the uncertainty of loss. The element of
uncertainty is reduced by better planning and administration. The insurer charges
premium for providing certainty. Life is always full of risks. Life without risks and
uncertainties is unthinkable. Man has always encountered risks of various types since
the inception of civilization. Minor risks can be ignored but the major risks cannot be
ignored and their avoidance is desirable. One of the ways or techniques of meeting the
risks loss is prevention and insurance. Insurance removes all uncertainties and the

INDUSTRY PROFILE
48. LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance is a contract providing for a payment of a sum of money to the person
assured or failing him to the person entitled to receive the same on the happening of
certain event. Uncertainty of death is inherent in human life. It is this risk, which gives
rise to the necessity for some form of protection against the financial loss arising
from death. Insurance substitutes this uncertainty by certainty.
The objective of insurance is normally to provide:
A. Family protection and
B. Provision for old age.
HISTORY AND PRESENT STATUS OF INSURANCE MARKET IN
INDIA
The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open competitive
market to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the
developments in the Indian insurance sector reviles the 360-degre turn witnessed
over a period of almost two centuries.
A brief history of the insurance sector
The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the
1818 with the establishment of Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. Some
of the important milestones in the life insurance business in India are:
1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to
regulate the life insurance business.
1928: The Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to
collect statistical information about both life and non – insurance business.
1938: earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act
with the objective of protecting the interest of the insuring public.
1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies are taken over
Page55
by the central government and nationalized. LIC found by an Act of
Parliament, viz. LIC Act 1956, with a capital contribution of rupees Five
Crore from the Government of India.
Insurance sector reforms
49. In 1993, Malhotra Committee, headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI
Governor R.N. Malhotra, was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry
and recommend its future direction. The Malhotra committee setup with the
objective of complimenting the reforms initiated in the financial sector. The
reforms where aimed at “creating a more efficient and competitive financial
system suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in mind the
structural changes currently underway and recognizing that insurance is an
important part of the overall financial system where it was necessary to address
the need for similar reforms…”In 1994, the Committee submitted the report and
some of the key recommendations included:
i. Structure
• Government stake in the insurance companies to be brought down to
50%.
• Government should take over the holdings of GIC and its subsidiaries
so that these subsidiaries can act as independent corporations.
• All the insurance company should be given greater freedom to operate.
ii. Competition
• Private companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs. 1bn should be
allowed to enter the industry.
• No company should dealing both the life and general insurance through a
single entity.
• Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration
with the domestic companies
• Postal Life Insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market.
• Only one State Level Life Insurance Company should be allowed to
Page55
operated in each state.
iii. Regulatory body
50. • The Insurance Act should be changed.
• An insurance regulatory body should be setup.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
Reforms in the Insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA Bill
in Parliament in December 1999. The IRDA since its incorporation as statutory
body in April 2000 has fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulations
and registering the private sector insurance companies.
The other decisions taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems to
the insurance sector and in particular the life insurance companies was the
launch of the IRDA’s online service for issue and renewal of license to agents.
The approval of institutions for imparting training to agents has also ensured that
the insurance companies would have trained work force of insurance agents in
place to sell their products, which are expected to be introduced by early next
year.
Since being set up as an independent statutory body the IRDA has put in a
framework of globally compatible regulations. In the private sector 12 life
insurance and 6 general insurance companies have been registered. Page55
INDIAN INSURANCE MARKET
51. Insurance is an Rs 400 billion business in India, and together with banking services
adds about 7% to India’s GDP. Gross premium collection is about 2% of GDP and
has been growing by 15 to 20% per annum. India also has the highest number of life
insurance policies in force in the world, and total investable funds with the LIC are
almost 8% of GDP. Yet more than three fourth of India’s insurable population has no
life insurance or pension cover. Health insurance of any kind is negligible and other
forms of non life insurance are much below international standards.
To tap the vast insurance potential and to mobilize long term savings we need
reforms with include revitalizing and restructuring of the public sector companies,
and opening up the sector to private players. A statutory body needs to be made
to regulate
The market and promote a healthy market structure. Insurance Regulatory
Authority (IRA) is one such body, which checks on these tendencies. IRA role
comprises of following three functions:
a. Protection of consumer’s interest
b. To ensure financial soundness and solvency of the insurance industry
c. To ensure healthy growth of insurance market.
An insurance policy protects the buyer at some cost against the financial loss
arising from a specified risk. Different situations and different people require a
different mix of risk – cost combinations. Insurance companies provide these by
offering schemes of different kinds.
Page55
52. Unfortunately the concept of insurance is not popular in our country. As per the
latest estimates, the total premium income generated by life and general
insurance in India is estimated at around 1.95% of GDP. However India’s share
of world insurance market has shown an increase of 10% from 0.31% in 1996-97
to 0.34% in 1997-98. India’s market share in the life insurance business showed
a real growth of 11% there by outperforming global average of 7.7%. Non life
insurance business grew by 3.1% against global average of 0.20%. In India
insurance pending per capita was among the last in the world at $7.6 compared
to $7 in the previous year. Amongst the emerging economies, India is one of the
least insured countries but the potential for further growth is phenomenal, as a
significant portion of its population is in services and the life expectancy also
increased over the years.
The nationalized insurance industry has not offered consumers a variety of
products. Opening of the sector to private firms will foster competition, innovation
and variety of products. It would also generate greater awareness on the need for
buying insurance as a service and not merely for tax exemption, which is currently
done on the demand side, a strong correlation between demand for insurance and
per capita income level suggests that high economic growth can spur growth in
demand for insurance. Also there exists a strong correlation between insurance
density and social indicators such as literacy. With social development, insurance
demand will grow.

India has an enormous middle class that can afford to by life, health, and
disability and pension plan products. The low level of penetration of life insurance in
India compared to other developed nations can be judge by a comparison of per
capita life premium.
C Country Life premium per capita US $
in1994
Japan 3817
UK 1280
USA 964
India 4
Clearly, there is considerable scope to raise per capita life premium is the market
is effectively tapped.
India has traditionally been a high savings oriented country – often described as
being on par with thrifty Japan. Insurance sector in the US is as big in the size as
the banking industry there. This gives us an idea of how important is the sector is.
Insurance sector canalizes the saving of the people to long-term investments. In
India where infrastructure is said to be critical importance, this sector
will bring the nations own money for the nation.
Page55
In three years time we would expect the 10% of the population to be under
some sort of an insurance cover. This assuming a premium of Rs. 5000 on an
average, 100 million Rs. 5000 = Rs. 500 bn.
54. This has made the sector the hottest one in India after IT. With social security
and security to the public at large being the agenda for opening the sector, the
role of the regulator becomes all the more serious and one that would be
carefully watched at every step.
The Insurance Regulator and Development bill is now an Act. With this India
in now the cynosure of all the global insurance players. Numerous player, both
Indian and foreign have announced their intention to start their insurance shops
in India. IRDA, under chairman ship of Mr. RANGACHARI, opened the window
for applying license in India.
One of the main deference between the developed economies and the
emerging economies is that insurance products are bought in the former while
these are sold in later. Focus of insurance industry is changing towards providing
a mix of both protection/risk cover and long-term investment opportunities.

Why life insurance?
Life Insurance cover is essential for it provides the following benefits:
• A lump sum payment to the nominees at the time of the death of the policy
holder;
• A regular payment to the nominees in the event of the death of the policy holder;
• Tax benefits, as premiums paid reduce the liability of tax;
• Relieves economic hardships in the family on the uneventful death of the sole
income holder;
• Inculcates the habit of saving.
AN OVERVIEW OF INDIAN INSURANCE INDUSTRY
Indian Insurance Industry
Page55
With a large population and untapped market, insurance happens to be a big
opportunity in India. The insurance business (measured in the context of first year
premium) grew at 47.93 per cent in 2005-06, surpassing the growth rate of 32.49
percent achieved in 2004-05. However, insurance penetration in the country
56. continues to be low. Insurance penetration or premium volume as a share of a
country’s GDP, for the year 2005 stood at 2.53 per cent for life insurance and 0.62
per cent for non-life insurance. The level of penetration tends to rise as income
increases, particularly in life insurance. India, with its huge middle class households,
has exhibited potential for the insurance industry. Saturation of markets in many
developed economies has made the Indian market even more attractive for global
insurance majors. The insurance market has witnessed dynamic changes which
includes presence of a fair number of insurers in both life and non-life segment.
Life Insurance in India
Life insurance industry recorded a premium income of Rs.105875.76 crore during
2005-06 as against Rs.82854.80 crore in the previous financial year, recording a
growth of 27.78 per cent. The contribution of first year premium, single premium and
renewal premium to the total premium was Rs.21275.75 crore (20.09 per cent);
Rs.17509.78 crore (16.54 per cent); and Rs.67090.21 crore (63.37 per cent),
respectively. In the year 2000-01, when the industry was opened up to the private
players, the life insurance premium was Rs.34,898.48 crore which constituted of
Rs.6996.95 crore of first year premium, Rs.25191.07 crore of renewal premium and
Rs.2740.45 crore of single premium.
Post opening up, single premium had declined from Rs.9, 194.07 crore in the year
2001-02 to Rs.5674.14 crore in 2002-03 with the withdrawal of the guaranteed return
policies. Though it went up marginally in 2003-04 to Rs.5936.50 crore (4.62 per cent
growth) the year 2004-05 witnessed a significant shift with the single premium
income rising to Rs.10336.30 crore showing 74.11 per cent growth over 2003-04,
accounting for 12.74 per cent of the total premium underwritten in that year.
Page55
As against 34.62 percent in 2005-06.While the number of single premium individual
policies underwritten by the private insurance companies grew by 103 percent, the
non-single premium individual policies grew by 64 percent. The new insurers have
57. improved their market share from 9.33 per cent in 2005-06 to 14.25 percent in 2006-
07.
It reflects increase in their persistency ratio and enables insurers to bring down
overall cost of doing business. The renewal premium underwritten by the life
insurance industry, during 2006-07 recorded a growth of 18.46 per cent as against
20.85 per cent in 2005-06.
The private insurers and LIC reported growths of 122.56 per cent and 14.32 per cent
respectively during the year. Segregation of the first year premium reflects a definite
consolidation towards linked products with premium underwritten at Rs.16060.67
crore in 2006-07 as against Rs.8247.74 crore in 2005-06, i.e., a growth of 95 per
cent. The non-linked premium was Rs.19804.33 crore as against Rs.17069.37 crore
in 2004-05, i.e., a growth of 16 per cent. The linked and non-linked business
accounted for 44.78 and 55.22 per cent as against 32.54 and 67.46 per cent
respectively in the year 2005-06.

66. INTRODUCTION OF HDFC SLIC
Introduction
HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited. is one of India's leading private
insurance companies, which offers a range of individual and group insurance
solutions. It is a joint venture between Housing Development Finance Corporation
Limited (HDFC Limited), India's leading housing finance institution and a Group
Company of the Standard Life Plc, UK. As on February 28, 2009 HDFC Ltd. holds
72.43% and Standard Life (Mauritius Holding) 2006, Ltd. holds 26.00% of equity in
the joint venture, while the rest is held by others.
Our Key Strengths
Financial Expertise
As a joint venture of leading financial services groups, HDFC Standard
Life has the financial expertise required to manage your long-term
investments safely and efficiently.
Range of Solutions
We have a range of individual and group solutions, which can be easily
customized to specific needs. Our group solutions have been designed
to offer you complete flexibility combined with a low charging structure.
Track Record So Far
Our gross premium income, for the year ending March 31, 2009 stood
at Rs. 5,564.69 crores. The company has covered over 8, 33,070
lives as on March 31, 2009.
HDFC Standard Life believes that establishing a strong and ethical
foundation is an essential prerequisite for long-term sustainable
growth. To ensure this, we have concentrated our focus on expansion
of branch network, organizing an efficient and well trained sales force,
and setting up appropriate systems and processes with optimum use
of technology. As all these areas form the basic infrastructure for
establishing the highest possible customer service standards.
Page55
67. Our core values are drilled down to all levels of employees, as these are inviolable.
We continue to promote high integrity in business practices and shun short cuts and
unethical practices, as we wish to be perceived as an institution with high moral
standing. Since our inception in 2000, when the Indian insurance space was opened for
private participation, we have consistently focused on setting benchmarks in all aspect on
insurance business. Being the first private player to be registered with the IRDA and the first
to issue a policy on December 12, 2000, our differentiators are:
Strong promoter:
HDFC Standard Life is a strong, financially secure business supported by
two strong and secure promoters – HDFC Ltd and Standard Life. HDFC
Ltd’s excellent brand strength emerges from its unrelenting focus on
corporate governance, high standards of ethics and clarity of vision.
Standard Life is a strong, financially secure business and a market leader in
the UK Life & Pensions sector.
1. PREFFERED AND TRUSTED BRAND
Our brand has managed to set a new standard in the Indian life
insurance communication space. We were the first private life insurer
to break the ice using the idea of self-respect instead of ‘death’ to
convey our brand proposition (Sar Utha Ke Jiyo). Today, we are one
of the few brands that customers recognize, like and prefer to do
business. Moreover, our brand thought, SAR Utha Ke Jiyo, is the most
recalled campaign in its category.
2. INVESTMENT POLICY
We follow a conservative investment management philosophy to
ensure that our customer’s money is looked after well. The investment
policies and actions are regularly monitored by a formal Investment
Committee comprising non-executive directors and the Principal
Officer & Executive Director.
As a life insurance company, we understand that customers have invested
their savings with us for the long term, with specific objectives in mind. Thus,
our investment focus is based on the primary objective of protecting and
generating good, consistent, and stable investment returns to match the
investor’s long-term objective and return expectations, irrespective of the
market condition.
Page55
68. 3. NEED BASED SELLING APPROACH
Despite the criticality of life insurance, sales in the industry have been
characterized by over reliance on tax benefits and limited advice-
based selling. Our eight-step structured sales process ‘Disha’
however, helps customers understand their latent needs at the first
instance itself without focusing on product features or tax benefits.
Need-based selling process, 'Disha', the first of its kinds in the
industry, looks at the whole financial picture. Customers see a plan
not piecemeal product selling.
4. RISK CONTROL FRAMEWORK
HDFC Standard Life has fully implemented a risk control framework to
ensure that all types of risks (not just financial) are identified and
measured. These are regularly reported to the board and this ensures
that the company management and board members are fully aware of
any risks and the actions taken to ensure they are mitigated.
5. FOCUS ON TRAINING
Training is an integral part of our business strategy. Almost all
employees have undergone training to enhance their technical skills
or the softer behavioral skills to be able to deliver the service
standards that our company has set for itself. Besides the mandatory
training that Financial Consultants have to undergo prior to being
licensed, we have developed and implemented various training
modules covering various aspects including product knowledge,
selling skills, objection handling skills and so on.
6. FOCUS ON LONG TERM VALUE
HDFC Standard Life does not focus in the business of ramping up the
topline only, but to create maximisation of stakeholder's value. Today,
we are extremely satisfied with the base that we have created for the
long-term success of this company.
7. TRANSPARENT DEALING
We are one of the few companies whose product details, pricing,
clauses are clearly communicated to help customers take the right
Page55
decision.
69. 8. STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS
We have initiated and implemented many new processes, some of
which were found useful by the IRDA and later made mandatory for
the entire industry. The agents who successfully completed this
training only, were authorized by the company to sell ULIPs. This has
now been made compulsory by IRDA for all insurance companies
under the new Unit Linked Guidelines.
DIVERSIFIED PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
HDFC Standard Life’s wide and diversified product portfolio help individuals
meet their various needs, be it:
• Protection: Need for a sound income protection in case of your
unfortunate demise
• Investment: Need to ensure long-term real growth of your money
• Savings: Save for the milestones and protect your savings too
