Insurance is a method by which we can spread over the risk. It is a way of reducing uncertainty of occurrence of an event. Insurance is entirely a method of cooperative endeavor where in the loss caused by a particular risk is spread over among a large section of persons. Insurance is a process in which a large number of persons collect their small contributions, called the premium, in a pool and out of this losses are paid to the suffering persons.

The Business of insurance is related to the protection of the economic values of assets. Every asset has a value. The asset would have been created through the efforts of the owner. The asset is valuable to the owner, because he expects to get some benefits from it. It is a benefit because it meets some of a factory or a cow, the product generated by it is sold and income is generated. In the case of a motor car, it provides comfort and convenience in transportation. There is no direct income. Both are assets and provide benefits.

absorber. A father with a large family to support rests easy because he is insured against death; the farmer with his crop ripening in his field knows his insurance protects him against financial ruin by flood, rain, fire and windstorms, fog etc. The same is true about businessmen. Therefore, it is safe to believe insurance is the shock absorber of industry and individual.
Practically, every kind of risk to which human being or property may be liable can now be insured against such risks. No trade, commerce and industry can function efficiently without insurance.
Insurance only spreads the financial losses of insured members over the whole of the remaining insured whose assets are not damaged. Thus, insurance company acts as a middle man for such social co-operation. It is infect a co-operative device designed to compensate one against losses because insurer collect premium from a large number of policy holders and distribute to the victims only.

Marine Insurance
There are references that marine insurance was practiced in India three thousand years ago; there is no evidence that insurance in its present form was practiced prior to the twelfth century. In fact, British insurers introduced general insurance, in its modern form in India, when they opened their branches around 1700. The Sun Insurance Office Ltd (a foreign company) started its operation in Calcutta in the year 1710. In our country the following four companies have been authorized to carry on the general insurance business including marine insurance: 1) National Insurance Company, Calcutta. 2) New India Assurance Company, Bombay. 3) Oriental Fire and General Company, Bombay. 4) United India Fire and General Insurance Company, Madras.

Life Insurance
In India life insurance business was started by Europeans with the establishment of Oriental Life Insurance Company in 1818. Later On, in 1871, Bombay Mutual Life Insurance came into existence. The Oriental Government Security Life Assurance came into being in 1874. The Life Insurance business was nationalized in the year 1956.
Fire Insurance
In our country the fire insurance started with the establishment of Triton Insurance Company in Calcutta in 1850. The North British Mercantile Company came into existence in 1861. There was slow progress of fire insurance in our country and with the nationalization of general insurance business: fire insurance is now being transacted by the four subsidiary companies of General Insurance Corporation of India
As on 31.3.2002, the total investments of the LIC exceeded Rs.245,000 crores, of which more than Rs. 130,000 corers were directly in Government (both State and Centre) related securities, more than Rs. 12,000 crores in the State Electricity Boards, nearly Rs.20,000 cores in housing loans and Rs.4,000 crores in water supply and sewerage systems. Other investments included road transport, setting up of industrial estates and directly financing industry. Investments in the corporate sector (shares, debentures and term loans) exceeded Rs. 30,000 crores. These directly affect the lives of the people and their economic well-being.
The L.I.C is not an exception. All good life insurance companies have huge funds, accumulated through the payments of small amounts of premium of individuals. These funds are invested in ways that contribute substantially for the Bhagvan Mahavir College of Business Administration Page | 7
economic development of the countries in which they do business. The private insurers in India are new and had not built up funds in 2002. But, in course of time, they also would be directly and indirectly contributing to the country's economic development.
A life insurance company will have large funds. These amounts are collected by way of premiums. Every premium represents a risk that is covered by that
premium. In effect, therefore, these vast amounts represent pooling of risks. The funds are collected and field in trust for the benefit of the policyholders. The management of life insurance companies is required to keep this aspect in mind and make all its decisions in ways that benefit the community. This applies also to its investments. That is why successful insurance companies would hot be found investing in speculative ventures. Their investments, as in die case of the L.I.C., benefit the society at large.
Apart from investments, business and trade benefit through insurance. Without insurance, trade and commerce will find it difficult to face the impact of major perils like fire, earthquake, floods, etc. Financiers, like banks, would collapse if the factory, financed by it, is reduced to ashes by a terrible fire. Insurers cover also the loss to financiers, if their debtors default.
Page | 8
The risk only means that there is a possibility of loss or damage. The damage may or may not happen. The earthquake may occur, at the building may not have been affected at all. Insurance is done against the possibility that the damage may happen. There has to be an uncertainty about the risk. The word possibility implies uncertainty. Insurance is relevant only if there are uncertainties. If there is no uncertainty about the occurrence of an event, it cannot be insured against. In the case of human being, death is certain, but the time of death is uncertain. The person is insured, because of the uncertainty about the time of his death. In the case of person who is terminally ill, the time of death is not uncertain, though not exactly known. It would be soon. He cannot be insured.
Insurance does not protect asset. It does not prevent its loss due to the peril. The peril cannot be avoided through insurance. The risk can sometimes be avoided, through better safety and damage control measures. Insurance only tries to reduce the impact of the risk on the owner of the asset and those who depend on the asset.
They are the ones who benefit from the asset and therefore, would lose, when the asset is damaged, insurance only compensates for the losses- and that too, not fully. \ Only economic consequences can be insured. If the loss is not financial, insurance may not be possible. Examples of managers of non economic losses are love and affection of parents, leadership of manager, sentiment attachments to family heirlooms, innovative and creative abilities, etc

Page | 10
A comparison with other form of savings will show that life insurance has the following advantages. In the event of death, the settlement is easy. The heirs can collect the moneys
quicker, because of nomination and assignment. The facility of nomination is now available for some bank accounts, provident fund, etc.
Creditors cannot claim the life insurance moneys. They can be protected
against attachments by courts.
There are tax benefits, both in income tax and in capital gains. Marketability and liquidity are better. A life insurance policy is property and
can be transferred or mortgaged. Loans can be raised against the policy.
It is possible to protect a life insurance policy from being attached by debtors. The beneficiaries interests will remain secure.
The following tenets help agent to believe in the benefits of life insurance. Such faith will enhance their determination to sell and their perseverance. Life insurance is not only the best possible way for family protection. There is
no other way.
Insurance is the only way to safeguard against the unpredictable risks of the
future. It is unavoidable.
The terms of life are hard. The terms of insurance are easy. The value of human life is far greater than the value of property. Only
insurance can preserve it.
Page | 11
Life insurance enhances the existing standards of living. Life insurance helps people live financially solvent lives. Life insurance perpetuates life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Life insurance is a way of life.
LIMITATION OF INSURANCE
Insurance cannot protect against all kind of risk. If any risk is not in harmony
with government policy, insurance cannot protect. For example, there is no protection against a risk in smuggling business.
The Loss which has been evaluated in money that is only secured by
insurance.

INTRODUCTION
The personnel department in and organization plays a very vital role as it deals totally with the human resources of an organizations, their needs wants and even their problems. A personnel manager must have all the qualities of a leader in order to manage the human resources in the best possible manner and thereby make effective utilization of its resources
The personnel department in and organization plays a very vital role as it deals totally with the human resources of an organizations, their needs wants and even their problems. A personnel manager must have all the qualities of a leader in order to manage the human resources in the best possible manner and thereby make effective utilization of its resources
The reason behind these resources being so very important is that human beings are social animals who without a satisfactory work environment wouldnt work efficiently and effectively
The task of a personnel manager in an organization is a very challenging task as the whole of an organization and its various departments consists of human beings whose behavior is quite irrational It is very difficult to judge the behavior of an individual at as it may differ from person to person
Definition
The administrative discipline of hiring and developing employees so that they become more valuable to the organization.
Page | 24
A crosscutting issue in human resource planning is to ensure that a proper system is in place to handle the process. The overall aim of this system is to manage human resources in line with organizational goals. The system is in charge of human resource plans, policies, procedures and best practices. For example, the system should track emerging human resource management trends, such as outsourcing certain noncore functions, adopting flexible work practices and the increased use of information technology, and, if appropriate, implement them.
2. Environmental Analysis
o
The first step in the human resource planning process is to understand the context of human resource management. Human resource managers should understand both internal and external environments. Data on external environments includes the following: the general status of the economy, industry, technology and competition; labor
Page | 25
market regulations and trends; unemployment rate; skills available; and the age and sex distribution of the labor force. Internal data required include short- and long-term organizational plans and strategies and the current status of the organization's human resources.
The aim of forecasting is to determine the number and type of employees needed in the future. Forecasting should consider the past and the present requirements as well as future Organizational directions. Bottom-up forecasting is one of the methods used to estimate future human resource needs by gathering human resource needs of various organizational units.
4. Analyzing Supply
o
Organizations can hire personnel from internal and external sources. The skill inventories method is one of the techniques used to keep track of internal supply. Skill inventories are manual or computerized systems that keep records of employee experience, education and special skills. A forecast of the supply of employees projected to join the organization from outside sources, given current recruitment activities, is also necessary.
The final step in human resource planning is developing action plans based on the gathered data, analysis and available alternatives. The key issue is that the plans should be acceptable to both top management and employees. Plans should be prioritized and their key players and barriers to success identified. Some of these plans include employee utilization plan, appraisal plan, training and management development plan and human resource supply plan.

Recruitment is sometimes confused with employment. The two are not one and the same. Recruitment is just one step in the process of employment. Recruitment is a linkage activity bringing together those with jobs and those seeking jobs. When more persons apply for jobs then there will be scope for recruiting better persons
Definition
Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in an organization.
Sources of Recruitment Before an organization actively begins to recruit applicants it should consider
the mostly likely source of the type of employee it needs. Some companies try to develop new sources while most try to tackle the existing sources they have. These sources accordingly may be termed as internal and external.
Internal Sources
This is one of the important sources of recruitment. The employees already working in the organization may be more suitable for higher jobs than those recruited outside. Internal sources consist of the following :
1. Present Employees Promotions and transfers among the present employees can be a good source of internal recruitment.
2. Employee Referrals In an organization with a large number of employees referrals can provide quite a large pool of potential organizational members.
3. Former Employee These are another internal source of recruitment. Some retired employees may be willing to come back to work.
4. Previous Employees
Those who have previously applied for jobs can be contacted by mail.
Page | 28
External Sources
1. Advertisement 2 . Professional Organization 3. Data Bank 4. Recruiting Agencies 5. Competitors 6. Displaced Persons 7. E-recruitment
In the HDFC standard life insurance, recruitment and selection is done from the pool of qualified persons by checking the background and references, ability of the person.
After that process, person has to give one exam of IRDA (insurance Regulatory and Development Authority). IRDA is the one that control all the insurance company or whole insurance sector. If applicant can pass the exam, he is given the license and after that he can work as a Financial Consultan
Selection
Selection procedure employs several methods of collecting information
Page | 29
Different types of information can be secured through various selection techniques. At each step facts may come tonight, which are useful for comparison with the job requirement and employee specifications
Application form
Application form is also known as application blank. The techniques of application blank are traditional and widely accepted for securing information from the prospective candidates. It can also be used as a device to screen the candidates at the preliminary level. Many companies formulate their own style of application forms depending upon the requirement of information based on the size of the company, nature of business
Activities, type and level of the job etc. Information is generally required on the following items in the application forms:
Personal background information Educational qualifications Work experience Salary (drawing and expecting) Personal attainments including likes and dislikes References
Page | 30
Written examination
Organizations have to conduct written examination for the qualified candidates after they are screened on the basis of the application blanks so as to measure the candidate s ability in arithmetical calculations, to know the candidate s attitude towards the job, to measure the candidate s aptitude, reasoning, knowledge in various disciplines, general knowledge and English language.
Preliminary interview
The preliminary interview is to solicit necessary information from the prospective applications and to assess the applicant s suitability to the job. An assistant in the personnel department may conduct this preliminary interview. The information thus provided by the candidate may be related to the job or personal specifications regarding education, experience, salary expectations, attitude towards job, age, physical appearance and other requirements etc. Thus, preliminary interview is useful as a process of eliminating the undesirable and unsuitable candidates. If a candidate satisfies the job requirements regarding most of the areas, he may be selected for further process. Preliminary interviews are short and known as stand up interviews or sizing up of the applicants or screening interviews. However, certain required amount of care is to be taken to ensure that the desirable workers are not eliminated. This interview is also useful to provide the basic information about the company to the candidate.
Tests
Skill tests These tests measure the candidate s ability to do a job perfectly and intelligently. These tests are useful to select the candidates to perform artistic jobs, product design, design of tools, machinery etc. The candidates can be selected for assembly work, testing and inspection also.
Page | 31
Achievement test These tests are conducted when applicants claim to know something as
these tests are concerned with what one has accomplished. These tests are more useful to measure the value of a specific achievement when an organization wishes to employ experienced candidates. These tests are classified into (a) job knowledge test and (b) work sample test. Thus, the candidate s achievement in his career is tested regarding his knowledge about the job and actual work experience.
Group discussion This test is administered through the group discussion approach to
solve a problem under which candidates are observed in the areas of initiating, leading, proposing valuable ideas, conciliating skills, oral communicating skills, coordinating and concluding skills.
Interest test These tests are inventories of the likes and dislikes of candidates in
relation to work, job, occupations, hobbies and recreational activities. The purpose of this test is to find out whether a candidate is interested or disinterested in the job for which he is a candidate and to find out in which area of the job range/occupation the candidate is interested. The assumption of this test is that there is a high correlation between the interest of a candidate in a job and job success. Interest inventories are less faked and they may not fluctuate after the age of 3.
Personality test These tests prove deeply to discover clues to an individual s value
system, his emotional reactions and maturity and characteristic mood. They are expressed in such traits like self-confidence, tact, distrust, initiative, emotional control, optimism, decisiveness, sociability, conformity, objectivity, patience, fear, judgment dominance or submission, impulsiveness, sympathy, integrity, stability and self-confidence. Bhagvan Mahavir College of Business Administration Page | 32
Interview Final interview follows after tests. This is the most essential step in the
process of selection. In this step the interviewer matches the information obtained about the candidate through various means to the job requirements and to the information obtained through his own observation during the interview. The different types of interviews.
In the insurance company, there are two way for the training

After that, financial consultant has to take the product training in which he / she is given the knowledge of the various product of the insurance company. After completing this training, he is able to start the work.

Generally the motivations are in the form of monetary or non monetary In insurance, monetary incentive includes the commission which is given in the basis of the performance of the financial consultant.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Page | 44
INTRODUCTION
Financial management means procurement of funds at minimum costs and effective utilization in order to maximize the wealth of shareholders.
The term of financial management refers to its relationship with the closelyrelated fields of economics and accounting, its functions, scope and objectives. Financial management, as an academic discipline, has undergone fundamental changes in its scope and coverage. In the early years of its evolution it was treated synonymously with the raising of funds. In the current literature
pertaining to financial management, a broader scope so as to include, in addition to procurement of funds, efficient use of resources is universally recognized.
Financial management, as an integral part of overall management, is not a totally, independent area. It draws heavily on related disciplines and fields of study, such as economics, accounting, marketing, production and quantitative methods. A part from economics and accounting, finance also draws for its key day to day decisions on supportive disciplines such as marketing, production and quantitative methods, for instance, financial managers should consider the impact of new product development and promotion plans made in the marketing area since their plans will require capital outlays and have an impact on the projected cash flows.
Finally, the tools of analysis developed in the quantitative methods area are helpful in analyzing complex financial management problem. Organization makes their planning for the financial sources which are very helpful in the future course of action. Taking a commercial business as the most common organizational structure, the key objectives of financial management would be to: Create wealth for the business Generate cash, and Provide and adequate return on investment bearing in mind the risks that the business is taking and the resources invested. Bhagvan Mahavir College of Business Administration Page | 45
CONCEPT OF FINACING
1. Financial Planning
Management needs to ensure that enough funding is available at the right time to meet the needs of the business. In the short term, funding may be needed to invest in equipment, pay employees and fund sales made on credit. In the medium and long term, funding may be required for significant additions to the productive capacity of the business or to make acquisitions.
2.
Financial Control
Financial control is a critically important activity to help the business ensure that the business is meeting its objectives.
3. Financial Decision-Making
A key financing decision is whether profits earned by the business should be retained rather than distributed to shareholders via dividends. If dividends are too high, the business may be starved of funding to reinvest in growing revenues and profits further.
Page | 46
FINANCIAL DECISIONS
Financial management consists of four major decisions or functions which are as discussed as below.
1.
Investment decision
Investment decision is the long term, strategic policies of an organization. Investment decisions have a long term effect on the working of an organization. Thus an enterprise should invest in proposals which maximize share value.
2.
Financing decision
There are various sources of capital like equity, preference shares, borrowed funds, and retained profits. The finance manager has to select a proper mix of owned at the minimum cost. A financing decision adds to the value to the value of shareholders.
3.
Dividend decision
Profits can either be distributed or reinvested into the business. The proportion of profits that needs to be distributed and that needs to be retained is a crucial decision. It is the job of finance manager to satisfy the shareholders as well as claw back into the business. This division of profit when done in an optimum manner maximizes shareholder value.
4.
Liquidity decision
An enterprise needs finance for the day today activities for the smooth functioning. The brand of FM that deals with investments in current assets & liabilities, in other words investment is the net working capital comprises of the liquidity decisions.

3. PLACE
This component of the marketing mix is related to two important facets i) Managing the insurance personnel, and ii) Locating a branch.
The management of agents and insurance personnel is found significant with the viewpoint of maintaining the norms for offering the services. This is also to process the services to the end user in such a way that a gap between the servicespromised and services offered is bridged over. In a majority of the service generating organizations, such a gap is found existent which has been instrumental in making worse the image problem. The transformation of potential policyholders to the actual policyholders is a difficult task that depends upon the professional excellence of the personnel. The agents and the rural career agents actin

4. Promotion
The HDFC life insurance services depend on effective promotional measures. In a country like India, the rate of illiteracy is very high and the rural economy has dominance in the national economy. It is essential to have both personal and impersonal promotion strategies. In promoting insurance business, the agents and the rural career agents play an important role. Due attention should be given in selecting the promotional tools for agents and rural career Agents and even for the branch managers and front line staff. They also have to be given proper training in order to create impulse buying. Advertising and Publicity, organization of conferences and seminars, incentive to policyholders are impersonal communication. Arranging Kirtans, exhibitions, participation in fairs and festivals, rural wall paintings and Publicity drive through the mobile publicity van units would be effective in creating the Impulse buying and the rural prospects would be easily transformed into Actual policyholders.

5. PEOPLE
Understanding the customer better allows to design appropriate products. Being a service industry which involves a high level of people interaction, it is very important to use this resource efficiently in order to satisfy customers. Training, development and strong relationships with intermediaries are the key areas to be kept under consideration. Training the employees, use of IT for efficiency, both at the staff and agent level, is one of the important areas to look into. Human resources can be developed through education, training and by psychological tests. Even incentives can inject efficiency and can motivate people for productive and qualitative work.
Page | 100
6. Processes
The process should be customer friendly in insurance industry. The speed and accuracy of payment is of great importance. The processing method should be easy and convenient to the customers. Installment schemes should be streamlined to cater to the ever growing demands of the customers. IT & Data Warehousing will smoothen the process flow. IT will help in servicing large no. of customers efficiently and bring down overheads. Technology can either complement or supplement the channels of distribution cost effectively. It can also help to improve customer service levels. The use of data warehousing management and mining will help to find out the profitability and potential of various customers product segments.
First, to contact the customer as per the given contact details thereby ensuring contact ability.
Second, to verify if the customer has fully understood the important features the insurance plan chosen and whether it suits the customer's requirement, thereby avoiding mis-sale occurrences.

A welcome call is made to the customer after the application for insurance policy has been accepted by the company. Before disclosing any policy related information, our Customer Service Associate (CSA) will do a mandatory verification by asking few questions. If the policy holder is not available, information can be shared with a third party who takes care of the policy holder's finances, post confirmation from the third party that all the discussed details will be shared with the Policy Holder. Once the verification is done, the CSA will inform the customer on all the Key features of the insurance plan.
Once all the key features have been communicated, the CSA can also make a note of any query, request or complaint by the customer. If the customer is not contactable despite multiple attempts, we will send a Welcome Calling Letter to the communication address of the customer.
Physical Distributions
Distribution is a key determinant of success for all insurance companies. Today, the nationalized insurers have a large reach and presence in India. Building a distribution network is very expensive and time consuming. Technology will not replace a distribution network though it will offer advantages like better customer service. Finance companies and banks can emerge as an attractive distribution channel for insurance in India. In Netherlands, financial services firms provide an entire range of products including bank accounts, motor, home and life insurance and pensions. In France, half of the life insurance sales are made through banks. In India also, banks hope to maximize expensive existing networks by selling a range of products.

INTRODUCTION
Insurance is system by which the losses suffered by a few are spread over many, exposed to similar risks. Insurance is a protection against financial loss arising on the happening of an unexpected event. Insurance policy helps in not only mitigating risks but also provides a financial cushion against adverse financial burdens suffered.
Insurance policies cover the risk of life as well as other assets and valuables such as home, automobiles, and jewelry.
Primary Functions
Provide Protection: The primary function of insurance is to provide
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 other. 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.
Page | 105
Assessment of Risk: -
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.
Secondary Functions
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 cause lesser payment to the assured by the insurer 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. 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.

Step 2 If you feel comfortable with your relationship with the other person involved, try to sort the situation out directly between yourself and that person. Sometimes things happen unintentionally and the matter could be sorted out with an explanation and an apology. This should be done as close to the incident of concern to avoid confusion.
Step 3 If you are unable to handle the matter yourself, approach the Academy Chief Executive Officer who will be the appointed grievance/complaint handler. If the grievance or complaint is about the Chief Executive Officer, you should contact the Academy Chair person (see website for details.) The HDFC Chief Executive Officer will, wherever practical, within 3 working days:
Page | 118

Decide whether at the least, the issue is serious enough that, if proven, it would be a breach of discipline or other related policy (Such as member protection) Explain the process required to continue towards a resolution of the issue. Refer you if necessary to people who could provide advice or support. Decide the most appropriate person to handle the complaint or grievance. (If the Chief Executive Officer has a conflict of Interest, the matter will be referred to another appropriate grievance/complaint handler.)
Step 4 The grievance/complaint handler will gather information from the party or parties allegedly involved inthe issue. This involves: Speaking to all witnesses they believe have information relevant to the complaint.

Refer you if necessary to people who could provide advice or support. Decide the most appropriate person to handle the complaint or grievance. (If the Chief Executive Officer has a conflict of Interest, the matter will be referred to another appropriate grievance/complaint handler.)

Only the required number of people will be spoken to about the issue and they will not be told any more information than they need to know.Where contradiction in accounts of the issue is encountered, the grievance/complaint handler may seek more information from all parties.
Page | 119

This means assistance will be given to you and the person or persons about whom you have complained, to come to a joint decision on how to resolve the issue.

Handler will: Indicate to all parties why the issue has been unable to be resolved and inform all parties of the consequences had the facts been established. Reinforce the importance of refraining from any repercussions against individuals which may result from the grievance/complaint procedure.

Where the facts are in dispute and grievance handler is unable to determine the course of events, the matter will be referred to the Board or its representative complaints committee. Where the grievance/complaint involves an allegation of a criminal matter, the grievance handler will advise the Board immediately and refer the matter to the appropriate authorities. All parties involved in the mater will be advised at all stages of the progress of the complaint/grievance. All parties have the right to appeal through the Board to the complaints Committee.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The HDFC company should now try to identify the gap between current level of customer service and customer expectations. Some of the strategies being recommended are as follows: Brand Building: HDFC is a very huge Brand in US in Insurance but in India it is not known as a Insurance brand. So HDFC need to focus on Brand building Activities which can be done through Advertising, Road shows, Knops, Sponsoring Events in rural & Urban Areas. Educating the Consumers: HDFC should take initiative to educate the consumers regarding all these aspects & take competitive Advantage on this front as its Allocation charges are minimum in the whole Indian Insurance Industry. Need to Increase Market Presence: It should make more channel partners & do business tie ups with more broking houses & should hire marketing agencies for aggressive marketing purpose. It can also increase its Business Units.
Concentration More On Rural Areas : HDFC need to concentrate more towards the rural areas as 60-70% of India population is living in rural areas and most of the people in rural areas are not insured so there is a huge potential in the rural sector.
Product Differentiation: Offering a product that is distinctly different from other products available in the market by other insurance players. Bhagvan Mahavir College of Business Administration Page | 153
More Guaranteed Plans to be Introduced: As we know today the stock market is giving very less return even in last year the return comes Negative so the company need to introduce some more granted plans so that customer can invest in them and have assured return on them which ultimately is an edge in competition in insurance sector.
Need to commence Medical claim Products and General Insurance : There are very less which are having Medical claim products and also very less companies providing General Insurance with Life Insurance for example ICICI , Reliance and Bajaj Allianz so HDFC also need to come in General Insurance business so that they can compete with these players. Flexibility: The companies should make their products flexible for the convenience of their customer. Hassle Free Service: All bureaucracy in customer interactions should be eliminated. Proper Policy Documentation: Wrong interpretations/ non-awareness of policy document by the customer may have serious implications in the long term and the possibility of the same should be alleviated by the company which leads to.

SUGGESTIONS:
The company should try to increase his financial performance in the future.
Stable Managed fund & Secure Managed Fund provide low return. but less risk in Stable Managed fund & Secure Managed Fund.
Most of the people are not aware about HDFC STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE CO.LTD so they have to advertise their company and their product.
HDFC LIFE INSURANCE CO.LTD focuses on the urban area so now they have to focus on rural area also.
HDFC LIFE INSURANCE CO.LTD should try to increase awareness of their UNIT LINK PLAN
