2.1 Role and importance of Insurance The role and importance of insurance, here has been discussed in three phases. i. ii. iii. Uses to Individual Uses to business or Industry Uses to Society

Uses to Individual a. Insurance provides security and safety Insurance provides security and safety against the loss of a particular event. In case of fire insurance payment is made when death occurs. In other words security against premature death and old age suffering are provides by fire insurance. Similarly the property of insured is secured against loss in fire din fire insurance.

b. Insurance affords peace or mind.

The security wish is the prime motivating factor. This is the wish which tends to stimulate more words if this wishes are unsatisfied, it with create a tension which manifests it self to individual in the form of an unpleasant reaction causing reduction in work. The insurance by giving security and safety to individual affords peace of mind to them. c. Insurance protects mortgaged property At the death of owner, Owner of the mortgage property, the property is taken over by the lender of money and the family will be deprived of the uses of the property. But the insurance will provides adequate amount to the dependents at the early death of the property owner to pay off the unpaid loans similarly the mortgage gets adequate amount at the destruction of the property. d. Insurance eliminates dependency At the time of death of husband or father, the destruction of family need no elaboration similarly, of

Destruction of property and goods, the family would suffer a lot. It brings reduced standards of living and the suffering may go to any extent of begging from the relatives, neighbors or friends. e. Life Insurance encourages savings The elements of protection and investment are present only in case of Life Insurance in most of the life policies combine the programmed of insurance and savings. The savings with insurance has certain extra advantages that are (i) Systematic saving is possible because regular premiums are required to be compulsory paid. (ii) In Insurance the deposited premium cannot be withdrawn easily before the expiry of the term of the policy. (iii) The Insurance will pay the policy money irrespective of the premium deposited while in case of bank deposit only the deposited amount along with interest is paid. f. Life Insurance provides profitable investment Individuals willing to handle their own funds have been

Pleased to find on outlet for their investment in life insurance policies, endowment policies, multipurpose policies, differed annuities are certain better form of investment in India the insurance policies carry a spend exemption from IncomeTax, Health Tax, Excise Duty. An Individual from his own capacity cannot invest regularly with enough of security and profitability. The Life Insurance facilities all these requirements with a lower cost.

g. Life Insurance facilitates the needs of person

The needs of a person are divided into i. ii. iii. iv. v. Family Needs Old Age Needs Re-adjustment Needs Special Needs Clean-up Needs

Family Needs

Death is certain, but the time is uncertain. So there is uncertainty of the time when the suffering and financial stringencies may be fall on the family. Moreover every person is responsible to provides for the family.

Therefore the provision for children up to their reaching earning period and for widow up to long life should be made. Any other provision except life insurance will not adequately meet this financial requirement of the family. Old Age Needs

The premium for old age is required where the person is serving more than his earning period. The reduction or income in old age is serious to the person and his family. Thus the life insurance provides old age fund along with t he protection of the family by issuing various policies. Re-adjustment Needs

At the time of reduction in income whether by loss of unemployment, disability or death, adjustment in the standard of living of family is required. Before coming down to the lower standard and to be satisfied with that, they require certain adjustment income so that the primary obstacles may be reduced to minimum.

The fire insurance helps to accumulate adequate funds. Special Needs

There are certain special requirements of the family which is fulfilled by the earning member of the family. If the member becomes disables to earn the income due to old age or death needs may remain unfulfilled and the family will suffer.

Clean-up Needs
After death, ritual ceremonies, payment of wealth taxes and income taxes are certain requirements which decrease the amount of funds of the family member. Insurance comes to help for meeting these requirements. 2.2 History of Birla Sun Life Insurance From the writing of Manu, Yajnavalkya that the carrier in India was also an insure in a restricted sense, yet it is not certain if the ancient Hindus also had a system of life insurance and practiced.

It, through it seems highly problem at real as legal codes do not reveal traces of any such system. Insurance against death was regarded fill very recently as want of belief in God which was not a very fertility soil for the growth of the insurance. Up to the end of the ninetieth century the insurance was in the inception stage. Therefore no legislation was regarded till that time usually the Indian company Act 1833 was applicable in business concern banking and insurance companies. New Indian Insurance companies and provident societies starting at the time of national movement, but most of them were financially unsound. It was asserted that the Indian companies Act 1833 was inadequate for the purpose. Therefore, two acts were passed in 1912 namely provident insurance societies Act v of 1912 and Indian life Insurance companies Act VI of 1912.These two Acts were in pursuit of the English Insurance companies Act of 1909with the difference that the Indian life insurance companies related to life insurance only and excluded the non life Business from its fold. The Act put the fire insurance business in India it sounder footing and resulted in creating a healthier atmosphere than before it was also

Instrument desolation of some unsound Indian as veil as non-Indian fife offices or in the merging of some of them with the others. The legislation in India was confirming to life business because here were few very general insurance companies and did not call for any legislation. To prevent financial weakness the insurance were required to keep certain started deposits. In insurance industry required a high degree of regulation. The Insurance Act, 1938 provides for the institution of the controller of Insurance to act as a strong and powerful supervisor and regulatory authority with power to direct, advice, caution, prohibit, investigate,inspect,prosecute,search,seize fine, amalgamate authorize, register and liquidate insurance companies.

The committee which submitted the report on the 7th January 1944 felt that insurance regulatory apparatus should be activated even in the present setup of nationalized insurance sector.

The recommendations of the committee were discussed of different forums including the consultative committee of the parliamentary attached to the ministry of finance, management of the life insurance corporation, the general insurance corporation and its subsidiary companies, trade unions chambers of commerce and consumer interest groups.

The committee submitted its report on 7th May 1997.

In order to provide better insurance coverage to our citizens and also to augment the flow of long term resources for financing infrastructure in the Budget speech 1998, the policy of the Govt.was announced to open up the insurance sector and also to established to statutory regulatory authority. According to the insurance regulatory authority bill 1998 was introduced in the previous loksabha on 15th December 1998 providing for setting a statutory insurance regulatory authority and containing three schedules incorporating amendments to be the insurance Act, 1938 the life insurance corporation Act 1956 and the General insurance Business Act 1972 to permit the entry of private Indian companies into the Insurance Act 1938. The bill was referred to the standing committee on finance on the 4th January 1999 for examination and report. The standing committee while recommending the bill suggested some amendments.

Mortgage loans of the company are 11,373 in 2009 which is increased in 2010 to 12,462 i.e.9.57% from previous year. Long term investment is 4,822 in 2009 and 6,061 in 2010 which is increased by 25.69% in 2010. This reflects the well annual performance of the company. Cash and other cash equivalent which is (8.59%) 4,425 in financial year 2010 but in the year 2009 it is 4,841 which is more. This reflects that the company invests its funds besides keep ideal with them. It is a good managing policy of the company. It is because the companys investment is more than previous year in current accounting period. In analysis of other assets which is 3,532 in 2009 but in 2010 it also decreases to 3,210 (9.11%). It reflects that the companys dont keep any thing ideal it invest them quickly. If we see the total assets of the company it finds that in 2009 it is 168.901 but in 2010 it is 182.143 which are more than the previous year. From this it concludes that the company converts all assets to investment. So beside decrease in other

 Assets the current years total assets increase than previous year. If we analysis the liabilities part of the company we see that the companys deposits is increase from the previous year which is other wise accounted as policy holder account balance is find that the companys policy holders account balance is more in current year which is 69,170 than the year 2009 (64,451). So here it reveals that company increase its policy deposits. As companys income is more so it increase the dividend payable to share holder by 1,280 that previous year. It is well capital management of company.
