ISCD ,CHINCHWAD

PAGE- 1

Insurance is basically a sharing device, a tool for managing risk. The losses to assets caused by unexpected contingencies like fire, earthquake, etc. are met out of a common pool contributed similar risks. by a large number of persons who are exposed to

BRIEF HISTORY OF INSURANCE

The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same instinct that prompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of insurance is largely a development of the recent past, particularly after the industrial era past few centuries yet its beginnings date back almost 6000 years.

There are Two Kinds of Insurance:

y y

Life Non-Life.

Life insurance is an agreement that guarantees the payment of a stated amount of monetary benefits upon the end of a specific term or on the death of the life insured, i.e. the person on whose death the insurance company would pay out a death benefits to a designated beneficiary. In Non-Life insurance, the insurer indemnifies the insured for the financial loss suffered by an asset due to contingencies like fire, flood, theft, etc.

FUNCTIONS OF INSURANCE

The functions of Insurance can be bifurcated into two parts: 1. Primary Functions

ISCD ,CHINCHWAD

PAGE- 1

2. Secondary Functions 3. Other Functions

1. The primary functions of insurance include the following:

Provide Protection : The primary function of insurance is to provid e protection

against future risk, accidents and uncertainty. Insurance cannot check the happening of the risk, but can certainly provide for the losses of risk. Insurance is actually a protection against economic loss, by sharing the risk with others.
Collective bearing of risk : Insurance is a device to share the financial loss of few

among many others. Insurance is a mean by which few losses are shared among larger number of people. All the insured contribute the premiums towards a fund and out of which the persons exposed to a particular risk is paid.
Assessment of risk : Insurance determines the probable volume of risk by

evaluating various factors that give rise to risk. Risk is the basis for determining the premium rate also
Provide Certainty : Insurance is a device, which helps to change from uncertainty to

certainty. Insurance is device whereby the uncertain risks may be made more certain.

2. The secondary funct ions of insurance include the following:

Prevention of Losses : Insurance cautions individuals and businessmen to adopt

suitable device to prevent unfortunate consequences of risk by observing safety instructions; installation of automatic sparkler or alarm systems, etc. Prevention of losses causes lesser payment to the assured by the in surer and this will encourage for more savings by way of premium. Reduced rate of premiums stimulate for more business and better protection to the insured.

ISCD ,CHINCHWAD

PAGE- 1

Small capital to cover larger risks : Insurance relieves the businessmen from

security investments, by paying small amount of premium against larger risks and uncertainty.
Contributes towards the development of larger industries : Insurance provides

development opportunity to those larger industries having more risks in their setting up. Even the financial institutions may be prepared to give credit to seek industrial units which have insured their assets including plant and machinery.

3. The other functions of insurance include the following:

Means of savings and investment: Insurance serves as savings and investment.

Insurance is a compulsory way of savings and it restricts the unnecessary expenses by the insured's For the purpose of availing income -tax exemptions also, people invest in insurance.

Source of earning foreign exchange:

Insurance is an international business. The country can earn foreign exchange by way of issue of marine insurance policies and various other ways.

Risk Free trade:

Insurance promotes exports insurance, which makes the foreign trade risk free with the help of diffe rent types of policies under marine insurance cover.

Undaunted, Dhirubhai managed to convince a large number of first -time retail investors to participate in the unfolding Reliance story and put their hard -earned money in the Reliance Textile IPO, promising

them, in exchange for their trust, substantial return on their investments. It was to be the start of one of great stories of mutual respect and reciprocal gain in the Indian markets.
y

Under Dhirubhais extraordinary vision and leadership, Reliance scripte d one of the greatest growth stories in corporate history anywhere in the world, and went on to become Indias largest private sector enterprise.

Through out this amazing journey, Dhirubhai always kept the interests of the ordinary shareholder uppermost in mind, in the process making millionaires out of many of the initial investors in the Reliance stock, and creating one of the worlds largest shareholder families.

Customer Satisfaction: -

Whether the buyer is satisfied after purchase depends on the performance of plans in relation to the buyers expectations. Satisfaction is a persons feelings of pleasure or disa ppointment resulting from comparing a products perceived performance in relation to his or her expectation. If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectation, the customer is satisfied . If the performance exceeds expectations, the customer is highly satisfied or delighted.

Reasons For Selecting The Topic: -

Main reason for selecting this topic is to know and understand about the customers requirement from the organization regarding the quality, services, and information regarding the policies and about the FSA (Financial Service Advisor) etc. The other reason is that through this topic I could meet different organizations members and understand their view and also understand how to make better service quality and delivery system

Importance of the topic to the company: -

Many companies are aiming for high satisfaction because customers who are just satisfied still find it easy to switch when a better offer comes along. Those who ar e highly satisfied are much ready to switch. High satisfaction or delight creates an emotional bond with the brand. The result is high customer loyalty. Life insurance contract is a long-term contract spanning over 5, 10, 15, 20 or more years. The person would like to be reassured about the organization before he puts in his money. Therefore, if the services of the company satisfy the customers, they may come to buy other products or they may recommend to their relatives or frien ds for the products

Customer satisfaction is the main objective of any company and this company also tries to keep their customers satisfied. During this survey the following points are worth considering:-

The company should try to improve the way to give the information of the

plans. The illustrations that they use to give the details of policies and premiums are very complex. The laymen cannot easily understand it.

The organization should try to give the service as scheduled The service

system of the organization is ve ry good but in some cases the customers face the problems. Therefore, the company should adopt fast and better communication facility to do the fast dealing.

Service provided to the customer should be improved The organization

should try to increase the number of services given to the customer and should try to maintain a good customer relationship. They should initiate to solve the queries of the customers.
