Money Back Policy
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
As a measure of providing protection against financial losses caused
by the premature death of breadwinner, life insurance has no parallel
or substitute.
There are two primary reasons why people purchase life insurance.
The better of the two reasons is to provide a death benefit (i.e., some
degree of financial assistance to other persons – usually family
members – when the insured dies). The other reason is to provide
savings, particularly for retirement.
1. Term insurance
2. Whole life insurance
3. Endowment
4. Annuities
Money Back Policy
TERM INSURANCE
Term Insurance pays a death benefit to the legal heirs if the person
insured, dies during the term of the policy. Such a policy provides
cover for a specified period only and may be described as temporary
insurance. Term insurance plans offer pure risk cover without any
element of saving. Hence they are the most inexpensive. The sum
assured is payable only if the insured dies during the selected period.
In case the insured does not die during tenure of insurance, nothing is
payable. Term insurance plans could be of the following different
types: -
fixed period a renewable term policy gives the right to renew the
policy without submitting fresh evidence of health. The new
premium however is increased to reflect the increased age of
the insured.
ENDOWMENT INSURANCE

CHAPTER-2
LIC – A PROFILE
The history of life insurance in India dates back to 1818 when it was
conceived as a means to provide for English Widows. Interestingly in
those days a higher premium was charged for Indian lives than the
non-Indian lives as Indian lives were considered more risky for
coverage.
INSURANCE IN INDIA
The insurance sector in India has come as 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
reveals the 360 degree 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 from started in India in the year 1818
with the establishment of the 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 Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the
government to collect statistical information about both life and non-life
insurance businesses. 1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and
amended to by the Insurance Act with the objective of protecting the
interests of the insuring public. 1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers
and provident societies taken over by the central government and
nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956,
with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.
The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace
its roots to the Triton Insurance Ltd., the first general Insurance
Company established in the year 1850 in Calcutta by the British.
Some of the important milestones in the general insurance business in
India are:
1907: The Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd. set up, the first company
to transact all classes of general insurance business.
Money Back Policy
The private insurers also seem to be scoring big in other ways – they
are persuading people to take out bigger policies. For instance, the
average size of a life insurance policy before privatization was around
Rs. 50,000. That has risen to about Rs. 80,000. But the private
insurers are ahead in this game and the average size of their policies
is around Rs. 1.1 lakh to Rs.1.2 lakh-way bigger than the industry
average.

collective capacities.
CHAPTER 3
Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the
year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in
Calcutta was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil. All the
insurance companies established during that period were brought up
with the purpose of looking after the needs of European community
and Indian natives were not being insured by these companies.
However, later with the efforts of eminent people like Babu Muttylal
Seal, the foreign life insurance companies started insuring Indian
lives.
But Indian lives were being treated as sub-standard lives and heavy
extra premiums were being charged on them. Bombay Mutual Life
Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance
company in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates.
Starting as Indian enterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance
companies came into existence to carry the message of insurance
and social security through insurance to various sectors of society.
Money Back Policy
The first two decades of the twentieth century saw lot of growth in
insurance business. From 44 companies with total business-in-force
as Rs.22.44 crore, it rose to 176 companies with total business-in-
force as Rs.298 crore in 1938. During the mushrooming of insurance
companies many financially unsound concerns were also floated
which failed miserably. The Insurance Act 1938 was the first
legislation governing not only life insurance but also non-life insurance
to provide strict state control over insurance business. The demand for
nationalization of life insurance industry was made repeatedly in the
past but it gathered momentum in 1944 when a bill to amend the Life
Insurance Act 1938 was introduced in the Legislative Assembly.
Money Back Policy
However, it was much later on the 19th of January, 1956, that life
insurance in India was nationalized. About 154 Indian insurance
companies, 16 non-Indian companies and 75 provident were
operating in India at the time of nationalization. Nationalization was
accomplished in two stages; initially the management of the
companies was taken over by means of an Ordinance, and later, the
ownership too by means of and a comprehensive bill. The Parliament
of India passed the Life Insurance Corporation Act on the 19th of June
1956, and the Life Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st
September, 1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance much
more widely and in particular to the rural areas with a view to reach all
insurable persons in the country, providing them adequate financial
cover at a reasonable cost.
LIC has 5 zonal offices, 33 divisional offices and 212 branch offices,
apart from its corporate office in the year 1956. Since life insurance
contracts are long term contracts and during the currency of the policy
it requires as variety of services need was felt in the later years to
expand the operations and place a branch office at each district
headquarter. Re-organization of LIC took place and large numbers of
new branch offices were opened. As a result of re-organization
servicing functions were transferred to the branches, and branches
were made accounting units. It worked wonders with the performance
of the corporation. It may be seen that from about 200.00 crores of
New Business in 1957 the corporation crossed 1000.00 crores only in
the year 1969-70, and it took another 10 years for LIC to cross
2000.00 crore mark of new business. But with re-organization
happening in the early eighties, by 1985-86 LIC had already crossed
7000.00 crore Sum Assured on new policies.
Money Back Policy
Today LIC functions with 2048 fully computerized branch offices, 100
divisional offices, 7 zonal offices and the corporate office. LIC’s Wide
Area Network covers 100 divisional offices and connects all the
branches through a Metro Area Network. LIC has tied up with some
Banks and Service providers to offer on-line premium collection facility
in selected cities. LIC’s ECS and ATM premium payment facility is an
addition to customer convenience. Apart from on-line Kiosks and
IVRS, Info Centers have been commissioned at Mumbai, Ahmedabad,
Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, Pune and many
other cities. With a vision of providing easy access to its policyholders,
LIC has launched its SATTELITE SAMPARK offices. The satellite
offices are smaller, leaner and closer to the customer. The digitalized
records of the satellite offices will facilitate anywhere servicing and
many other conveniences in the future.
From then to now, LIC has crossed many milestones and has set up
unprecedented performance records in various aspects of life
insurance business. The same motives which inspired our forefathers
to bring insurance into existence in this country inspire us at LIC to
take this message of protection to light the lamps of security in as
many homes as possible and to help the people in providing security
to their families.

CHAPTER 4
Money back plans are a special type of endowment plans and are also
called as anticipated endowment assurance plans. Under money back
plans, survival benefits are spread over the term of the policy i.e.,
certain percentage of sum assured is paid at regular intervals. Apart
from the above death benefit continues like an endowment plan i.e.,
full sum assured shall be payable on death within the term irrespective
of earlier survival benefits.
