5. Reasons for failure of insurance sector
in India
In India most of the people were illiterates so they don’t know what are
advantage of having insurance policy.
In India 45% of people live below poverty line so they could not even
think about the insurance.
In earlier it was rumor that insurance is a death policy and it can only be
claimed after the death so no one showed interest in insurance.
If we compare India faces less disaster than Japan so there was less
interest to ensure their life and properties.
India is a developing country so there is less density if we compare with
Japan, UK, or USA.
Claim settlement is also one of the backdrop.
