EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Insurance is not the sale of products, but servicing customers. It is a 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 companies collect premiums to provide for this protection. A
loss is paid out of the premiums collected from the insuring public and the Insurance Companies act as trustees
to the amount collected. The very fundamental principle of spreading of the risk is actually practiced by the
insurance companies by reinsuring the risks that they have insured.

service to Indian Customer. This project has been made with an objective to give an insight into various facts of

ORIGIN OF INSURANCE
Whenever there is uncertainty there is risk. We do not have any control over uncertainties which involves financial
losses. The risk may be certain events like death, pension, retirement or uncertain events like theft, fire, accident, etc.
Insurance is a financial service for collecting the savings of the public and providing them with risk coverage. It comes
under service sector and while marketing this service due care is taken in quality product and customer satisfaction. The
main function of the Insurance is to provide protection against the possible chances of generating losses.
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 reveals the 360-degree turn
witnessed over period of almost two centuries.
Brief History of the Insurance Sector
The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the year1818 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 core from the Government of India. The General insurance business in
India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company 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.1957: General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance Association of India, frames abode
of conduct for ensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.2
1968: The Insurance Act amended to regulate investments and set minimum solvency margins and the Tariff Advisory
Committee set up.1972: The General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 nationalized the general insurance
business in India with effect from 1st January 1973. 107 insurers amalgamated and grouped into four companies’ viz. the
National Insurance CompanyLtd., the New India Assurance Company Ltd., the Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. and the
United India Insurance Company Ltd. GIC incorporated as a company. INSURANCE SECTOR The opening up of Insurance
sector was a part of the on going liberalization in the financial sector of India. The changing face of the financial sector
and the entry of several companies in the field of life and non life Insurance segment are one of the key results of these
liberalization efforts. Insurance business by way of generating premium income adds significantly to be the GDP.Over the
past three years; more than thirty companies have expressed interest in doing business in India. The IRDA (Insurance
Regulatory Development Authority) is the regulatory authority, which looks over all related aspects of the insurance
business. The provisions of the IRDA bill acknowledge many issues related to insurance sector. The IRDA bill provides
guidance for three levels of players - Insurance Company, Insurance brokers and Insurance agent. Life Insurance sector is
one of the key areas where enormous business potential exists. In India currently the life insurance premiums a
percentage of GDP is 1.3 % against, 5.2 per cent in the US. General Insurance is another segment, which has been
growing at a faster pace. But as per the current comparative statistics, the general insurance premium has been lower
than life insurance. General Insurance premium as a percentage of GDP was a mere 0.5'per cent in 1996. In the General
Insurance Business, General Insurance Corporation (GIC) and its four subsidiaries viz. New India Insurance, Oriental
Insurance, National Insurance and United India Insurance, are doing major business. The General Insurance Industry has
been growing at a rate of 19 percent per year.3
The entry of several private insurance companies, particularly international insurance companies, through joint
ventures, will speed up the process of insurance mobilization. The competition will unleash new schemes and benefits,
which will give consumers abettor Chance to save as well as insure. The regulatory system in India is relatively new and
takes some more time to make the Insurance sector a perfectly competitive one. Insurance Regulatory Authority of India
issued regulations on 15 subjects which included appointed. Actuary, actuarial report, Insurance agents, Solvency
margins, re-insurance, registration of Insurers, and obligation of insurers to rural and social sector, investment and
accounting procedure. The reform in Insurance in India is guided by factors like availability of a variety of products at a
competitive price, improvement in the quality of customer services etc. Also the employment opportunities in the
Insurance sector wil1 increase as major players set their business plans in India. The policy of the government to open up
the financial sector and the Insurance sector is expected to bring greater FDI inflow into the country. The increase in the
investment limit in this vital sector has generated considerable business interests among the foreign Insurance
companies" Their entry wil1 certainly change the Insurance sector considerably.
Insurance Sector Reforms
In 1993, Amphora Committee headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI Governor R.N. Amphora was formed to
evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommend its future, direction. The Amphora committee was set up with
the objective of complementing the reforms initiated in the financial sector. In 1994, the committee submitted the
report and some of the key recommendations included: Structure:1. Government stake in the insurance Companies to
be brought down to 50%. 2.Government should take over the holdings of Gulch and its subsidiaries so that these
subsidiaries can act as independent corporations.3. All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to
operate. Competition:I. Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs. 1 ban should be allowed to enter the
industry.2. No Company should deal in both Life and General Insurance through a single entity.3. Foreign companies may
be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the domestic companies.4. Postal Life Insurance should be allowed
to operate in the rural market.5. Only one State Level Life Insurance Company should be allowed to operate in
eachstate.5
Regulatory Body:1. The Insurance Act should be changed.2. An Insurance Regulatory body should be set up. Controller of
Insurance (Currently a part from the Finance Ministry) should be madeindependent.Investment:1. Mandatory
Investments of LIC Life Fund in government securities to be reduced from75% to 50%.2. GIC and its subsidiaries are not
to hold more than 5% in any company (There current holdings to be brought down to this level over a period of
time.)Customer Service:1. LIC should pay interest on delays in payments beyond 30 days.2. Insurance companies must
be encouraged to set up unit linked pension plans.3. Computerization of operations and updating of technology to be
carried out in the insurance industry. The committee emphasized that in order to improve the customer Services and
increase the coverage of the insurance industry should open up to competition. But at the same time, the committee felt
the need to exercise caution as any failure on the part of new players could ruin the public confidence in the industry.
Hence, it was decided to allow competition in a limited way by stipulating the minimum capital requirement of Rs. 100
crores. The committee felt the need to provide greater autonomy to insurance companies in order to improve
INSURANCE REGULATORY AUTHORITY
On the recommendations of the Amphora Committee, government has set up an interim Insurance Regulatory Authority
(IRA), with a view to activate an insurance regulatory apparatus essential for proper monitoring and control of the
insurance industry. The Iraqis headed by a chairman who is also Controller o0f insurance and chairman of TBC. The other
members of the IRA, not exceeding seven in number of whom not more than three shall serve full time, shall be
nominated by the central government Insurance industry, as on 1.4.2000, comprised mainly two players: the state
insurers: Life Insures:
• Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC)General Insurers
• General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) (with effect from Dec ‘2000, national reinsurer)
INSURANCE INDUSTRY:CLASSIFICATION
SOME PLAYERS IN THE INDUSTRY
4 I’s of Insurance Service
The 4 I’s refers to the different dimensions/ characteristics of any service. Unlike pure product, services have its own
characteristics and its related problems. So the service provider needs to deal with these problems accordingly. The
service provider has to design different strategies according the varying feature of the service. These 4 I’s not only
represent the characteristics of different services but also the problems and advantages attached to it. These 4 I’s can be
broadly classified as:
1. Intangibility
2. Inconsistency
3. Inseparability
4. Inventory
Intangibility:
Insurance is a guarantee against risk and neither the risk nor the guarantee intangible. Hence, insurance rightly come
under services, which are intangible. Efforts have been made by the insurance companies to make insurance tangible
twosome extent by including letters and forms
Inconsistency:
Service quality is often inconsistent. This is because service personnel have different capabilities, which vary in
performance from day to day. This problem of inconsistency in service quality can be reduced through standardization,
training and mechanization.
Inseparability:
Services are produced and consumed simultaneously. Consumers cannot and donor separate the deliverer of the service
from the service itself. Interaction between consumer and the service provider varies based on whether consumer must
be physically present to receive the service.
Inventory:
No inventory can be maintained for services. Inventory carrying costs are more subjective and lead to idle production
capacity. When the service is available but there is no demand, cost rises as, cost of paying the people and overhead
remains constant even though the people are not required to provide services due to lack of demand. In the insurance
sector however, commission is paid to the agents on each policy that they sell. Hence, not much inventory cost is wasted
on idle inventory. As the cost of agents is directly proportionate to the policy.
TERMS USED IN INSURANCE INDUSTRY

insurance, and provides service to the policyholder farther insurer.

MARKET SHARE
As by this time we are well versed with all the General Insurance companies both Public and private we know how each
company contributes serving the customers and also generating revenue through it. We also know that General
Insurance contributes towards the Gross Domestic Profit, but now let us see how these companies individually
contribute towards the Gross Domestic Profit through the way of Market Share of each company both Private & Public.
As we can see in the Pie Charts a comparison of 3 consecutive years have been taken which are 2003-04, 2004-05 &
2005-06.Public Companies have been dominating the General Insurance Market since along time, the market share of
Private companies have been improving in the last few years by approximately 6 % each year, but then too Public sector
companies capturing the major market. But also in Public sector companies New India Assurance is been leading the way
which is been closely followed by the remaining. Among the private players wean note that ICICI Lombard is leading the
way. By considering 2005-06 as the base year, we can note that the market share of Public companies have been
deteriorating having 73.43% of the market share from85.54% in the year 2003-04.
GENERAL INSURANCE
With the opening up of the insurance industry to the private sector, the need for a strong, independent and autonomous
Insurance Regulatory Authority was felt. As the enacting of legislation would have taken time, the then Government
constituted through government resolution an Interim Insurance Regulatory Authority pending the enactment of a
comprehensive legislation. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 is an act to provide forth
establishment of an Authority to protect the interests of holders of insurance policies, to regulate, promote and ensure
orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto and further to
amend the Insurance Act, 1938,the Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956 and the General insurance
Business(Nationalization) Act, 1972 to end the monopoly of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (for life insurance
business) and General Insurance Corporation and its subsidiaries(for general insurance business).Definition and
meaning:
1. INSURANCE:
Insurance is the means of managing risk and protection against financial loss arising as a result of contingencies, which
may or may not occur. In other words, insurance is the act of providing assurance, against a possible loss, by entering
into a contract, with one who is willing to give assurance. Through this contract the person willing to give assurance
binds himself to make good such loss, if itoccurs.12
2. GENERAL INSURANCE:
General insurance means managing risk against financial loss arising due to fire, marine or miscellaneous events as a
result of contingencies, which may or may not occur. General Insurance means to “Cover the risk of the financial loss
from any natural calamities viz. Flood, Fire, Earthquake, Burglary, etc.. i.e. the events which are beyond the control of
the owner of the goods for the things having insurable interest with the utmost good faith by declaring the facts about
the circumstances and the products by paying the stipulated sum , a premium and not having a motive of making profit
from the insurance contract.”Some of the General Rules:
1.Mis-description :The insurance policy shall be void and all the premiums paid by insured may be forfeited by the
insurance company in the event of miss-presentation or miss-declaration and/or non-disclosure of any material facts.
2.Reasonable care :The insured shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard the property insured against any loss or
damage. Insured shall exercise reasonable care that only competent employees are employed and shall take all
reasonable precautions to prevent all accidents and shall comply with all statuary or other regulations13
3.Fraud :If any claim under the policy may be in any respect fraudulent or if any fraudulent means or device is used by
the insured or any one acting on the insured’s behalf to obtain any benefit under the insurance policy, all the benefits
under the insurance policy may be forfeited.
4.Few basic principles of general insurance are :
1.Insurable interest
2.Utmost good faith
3.Subrogation
4.Contribution
5.Indemnity
5. Risks of loss not covered under general insurance are: The loss or damage or liability or expenses whether direct or
indirect occasion by happening through or arising from any consequences of war, invasion, act of foreign enemy,
hostilities (whether war be declared or not), civil war, rebellion revolution, civil commotion or loot or pillage in
connection therewith and loss or damage caused by depreciation or wear and tear. However the risk of loss or damage
by war can be insured by payment of additional premium in some cases only.

Case Study
26/7/2005 – Mumbai under water
Mumbai will never be the same again. And so will the insurance sector in Mumbai after the 26/7 floods. Torrential rains
which killed thousands and rendered many homeless, also led to loss of business and vehicles.
The facts:
As fallout of the torrential rains, the non-life insurance sector was flooded with more than10000 claims totaling over Rs.
2000 cores. However, these did not include the 50000cars that have been damaged in Maharashtra. While the top four
private sector general insurance companies, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, Nifco
Tokyo General Insurance and Tata Agave together received claims worth over Rs 1,000 core; the four state-owned
general insurance companies New India Insurance, Oriental Insurance, United Insurance and National Insurance received
claims close to Rs 1,500 crore.Private insurer, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Ltd (BAGICL) alone had received
claims for at least 10,000 motor vehicles after the recent floods in Mumbai. As several companies temporarily closed
down their operations and go down stocks went missing, corporate claims were the highest, in terms of value. Next
came claims for cars and household goods and from shopkeepers and traders for their warehouses. A majority of
individuals and small and medium entrepreneurs also submitted claims.ONGC's insurance claim is considered to be the
largest given its loss of $ 500 million after fire gutted the Bombay High rig. Insurance firms set up special cells to visit
victims and settle claims. In many firms, the special teams worked round-the-clock to take stock of the loss and speed up
the settlement process. Bajaj Allianz settled claims worth about Rs 200 core without any documentation, to the victims
of the recent floods in Mumbai. After the natural calamity, the Finance Minister sought speedy redressed of claims. He
directed the Chairmen and Managing Directors of the four public sector general insurance companies that claims below
Rs 50,000, arising out of the recent floods in Maharashtra and Gujarat, should be settled by August 31.Public sector
player, National Insurance Company received 3,000 claims for Rs 350 crorefrom its customers in Mumbai for damage to
property caused by the recent rains. While some insurers had taken a re-insurance cover, some have not. Mumbai floods
brought to fore the ill-preparedness both among the mega polis administrative official sand the insurance sector. While
the latter seems to have realized the damages, the former is still grappling with the situation. As death toll continues to
rise, insurance firms have realized the need to better manage natural calamities. The premium for flood covers may rise
in coming years.
Theeffect:
Here’s a warning to the laths of Mumbaikars who are planning to insure their houses in the wake of the recent deluge.
One will have to read the fine print carefully. Public sector insurance firms are quietly planning to drop the word ‘flood’
from the policy. As of now, a household insurance policy is basically a fire insurance policy, which also incorporates a
flood insurance policy. However, with 10,000 policy-holders filing claimstotalling Rs 1,500 cores, insurance firms are
looking at new ways to keep their heads above water. After the last calamity—the Later quake of 1993— insurance firms
had dropped earthquakes from the household insurance policy. Those wanting to insure their homes against flooding
may now have to pay a separate premium. The insurance sector has suffered losses of about Rs 1,500 core. These
companies may not get re-insurance for these policies as they had not taken re-insurance for these small individual
polices

Insurance is a protection against financial loss arising on the happening of an unexpected event. Insurance companies collect premiums to provide for this protection. A loss is paid out of the premiums collected from the insuring public and the Insurance Companies act as trustees to the amount collected.

  • 8. ORIGIN OF INSURANCE Whenever there is uncertainty there is risk. We do not have any control over uncertainties which involves financial losses. The risk may be certain events like death, pension, retirement or uncertain events like theft, fire, accident, etc. Insurance is a financial service for collecting the savings of the public and providing them with risk coverage. It comes under service sector and while marketing this service due care is taken in quality product and customer satisfaction. The main function of the Insurance is to provide protection against the possible chances of generating losses. 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 reveals the 360-degree turn witnessed over period of almost two centuries. Brief History of the Insurance Sector The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the year1818 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 core from the Government of India. The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to the Triton Insurance Company 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.1957: General Insurance Council, a wing of the Insurance Association of India, frames abode of conduct for ensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.2
  • 9. 1968: The Insurance Act amended to regulate investments and set minimum solvency margins and the Tariff Advisory Committee set up.1972: The General Insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 nationalized the general insurance business in India with effect from 1st January 1973. 107 insurers amalgamated and grouped into four companies’ viz. the National Insurance CompanyLtd., the New India Assurance Company Ltd., the Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. and the United India Insurance Company Ltd. GIC incorporated as a company. INSURANCE SECTOR The opening up of Insurance sector was a part of the on going liberalization in the financial sector of India. The changing face of the financial sector and the entry of several companies in the field of life and non life Insurance segment are one of the key results of these liberalization efforts. Insurance business by way of generating premium income adds significantly to be the GDP.Over the past three years; more than thirty companies have expressed interest in doing business in India. The IRDA (Insurance Regulatory Development Authority) is the regulatory authority, which looks over all related aspects of the insurance business. The provisions of the IRDA bill acknowledge many issues related to insurance sector. The IRDA bill provides guidance for three levels of players - Insurance Company, Insurance brokers and Insurance agent. Life Insurance sector is one of the key areas where enormous business potential exists. In India currently the life insurance premiums a percentage of GDP is 1.3 % against, 5.2 per cent in the US. General Insurance is another segment, which has been growing at a faster pace. But as per the current comparative statistics, the general insurance premium has been lower than life insurance. General Insurance premium as a percentage of GDP was a mere 0.5'per cent in 1996. In the General Insurance Business, General Insurance Corporation (GIC) and its four subsidiaries viz. New India Insurance, Oriental Insurance, National Insurance and United India Insurance, are doing major business. The General Insurance Industry has been growing at a rate of 19 percent per year.3 The entry of several private insurance companies, particularly international insurance companies, through joint ventures, will speed up the process of insurance mobilization. The competition will unleash new schemes and benefits, which will give consumers abettor Chance to save as well as insure. The regulatory system in India is relatively new and takes some more time to make the Insurance sector a perfectly competitive one. Insurance Regulatory Authority of India issued regulations on 15 subjects which included appointed. Actuary, actuarial report, Insurance agents, Solvency margins, re-insurance, registration of Insurers, and obligation of insurers to rural and social sector, investment and accounting procedure. The reform in Insurance in India is guided by factors like availability of a variety of products at a competitive price, improvement in the quality of customer services etc. Also the employment opportunities in the Insurance sector wil1 increase as major players set their business plans in India. The policy of the government to open up the financial sector and the Insurance sector is expected to bring greater FDI inflow into the country. The increase in the investment limit in this vital sector has generated considerable business interests among the foreign Insurance companies" Their entry wil1 certainly change the Insurance sector considerably.
  • 10. Insurance Sector Reforms In 1993, Amphora Committee headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI Governor R.N. Amphora was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommend its future, direction. The Amphora committee was set up with the objective of complementing the reforms initiated in the financial sector. In 1994, the committee submitted the report and some of the key recommendations included: Structure:1. Government stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%. 2.Government should take over the holdings of Gulch and its subsidiaries so that these subsidiaries can act as independent corporations.3. All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate. Competition:I. Private Companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs. 1 ban should be allowed to enter the industry.2. No Company should deal in both Life and General Insurance through a single entity.3. Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the domestic companies.4. Postal Life Insurance should be allowed

Hence, it was decided to allow competition in a limited way by stipulating the minimum capital requirement of Rs. 100 crores. The committee felt the need to provide greater autonomy to insurance companies in order to improve INSURANCE REGULATORY AUTHORITY On the recommendations of the Amphora Committee, government has set up an interim Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA), with a view to activate an insurance regulatory apparatus essential for proper monitoring and control of the insurance industry.

  • 13. 4 I’s of Insurance Service The 4 I’s refers to the different dimensions/ characteristics of any service. Unlike pure product, services have its own characteristics and its related problems. So the service provider needs to deal with these problems accordingly. The service provider has to design different strategies according the varying feature of the service.

Inconsistency 3. Inseparability 4. Inventory Intangibility: Insurance is a guarantee against risk and neither the risk nor the guarantee intangible.

Consumers cannot and donor separate the deliverer of the service from the service itself. Interaction between consumer and the service provider varies based on whether consumer must be physically present to receive the service. Inventory: No inventory can be maintained for services. Inventory carrying costs are more subjective and lead to idle production capacity. When the service is available but there is no demand, cost rises as, cost of paying the people and overhead remains constant even though the people are not required to provide services due to lack of demand. In the insurance sector however, commission is paid to the agents on each policy that they sell. Hence, not much inventory cost is wasted on idle inventory. As the cost of agents is directly proportionate to the policy.

  • 50. Case Study 26/7/2005 – Mumbai under water Mumbai will never be the same again. And so will the insurance sector in Mumbai after the 26/7 floods. Torrential rains which killed thousands and rendered many homeless, also led to loss of business and vehicles. The facts: As fallout of the torrential rains, the non-life insurance sector was flooded with more than10000 claims totaling over Rs. 2000 cores. However, these did not include the 50000cars that have been damaged in Maharashtra. While the top four private sector general insurance companies, ICICI Lombard General Insurance, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance, Nifco Tokyo General Insurance and Tata Agave together received claims worth over Rs 1,000 core; the four state-owned general insurance companies New India Insurance, Oriental Insurance, United Insurance and National Insurance received claims close to Rs 1,500 crore.Private insurer, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company Ltd (BAGICL) alone had received claims for at least 10,000 motor vehicles after the recent floods in Mumbai. As several companies temporarily closed down their operations and go down stocks went missing, corporate claims were the highest, in terms of value. Next came claims for cars and household goods and from shopkeepers and traders for their warehouses. A majority of individuals and small and medium entrepreneurs also submitted claims.ONGC's insurance claim is considered to be the largest given its loss of $ 500 million after fire gutted the Bombay High rig. Insurance firms set up special cells to visit victims and settle claims. In many firms, the special teams worked round-the-clock to take stock of the loss and speed up the settlement process. Bajaj Allianz settled claims worth about Rs 200 core without any documentation, to the victims of the recent floods in Mumbai. After the natural calamity, the Finance Minister sought speedy redressed of claims. He directed the Chairmen and Managing Directors of the four public sector general insurance companies that claims below Rs 50,000, arising out of the recent floods in Maharashtra and Gujarat, should be settled by August 31.Public sector player, National Insurance Company received 3,000 claims for Rs 350 crorefrom its customers in Mumbai for damage to property caused by the recent rains. While some insurers had taken a re-insurance cover, some have not. Mumbai floods brought to fore the ill-preparedness both among the mega polis administrative official sand the insurance sector. While the latter seems to have realized the damages, the former is still grappling with the situation. As death toll continues to rise, insurance firms have realized the need to better manage natural calamities. The premium for flood covers may rise in coming years. Theeffect:
  • 51. Here’s a warning to the laths of Mumbaikars who are planning to insure their houses in the wake of the recent deluge. One will have to read the fine print carefully. Public sector insurance firms are quietly planning to drop the word ‘flood’ from the policy. As of now, a household insurance policy is basically a fire insurance policy, which also incorporates a flood insurance policy. However, with 10,000 policy-holders filing claimstotalling Rs 1,500 cores, insurance firms are looking at new ways to keep their heads above water. After the last calamity—the Later quake of 1993— insurance firms had dropped earthquakes from the household insurance policy.
