3. Industry Challenges
• Significant percentage of Policy Lapses (2009-10) : 4% to 81%
• Big churn in Agents / Financial Advisors
– 2009-10: Agents Appointed – 0.94 million Vs Terminated - 0.90 Million
– Resulting in orphaned Policies
• 2010 regulatory changes:
– Cap on Marketing spend ( & Agent’s Commissions too)
– Minimum term for Investment oriented products increased to 5 years
– Uniform premiums over the term
– Make the Agent’s task of customer acquisition less attractive monetarily and
more difficult to close
• Increasing obligation to penetrate social sectors & rural areas
• Increasing focus on micro-insurance
– Use of conventional business model is likely to make this initiative uneconomical
due to “High Volume Low Value” nature of this business
