Brief History Of Insurance

The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind.

Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that period were brought up with the purpose of looking after the needs of European community and Indian natives were not being insured by these companies. However, later with the efforts of eminent people like Babu Muttylal Seal, the foreign life insurance companies started insuring Indian lives.

Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates. Starting as Indian enterprise with highly patriotic motives, insurance companies came into existence to carry the message of insurance and social security through insurance to various sectors of society.

Bharat Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by nationalism. The Swadeshi movement of 1905-1907 gave rise to more insurance companies. The United India in Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and the Co-operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906. In 1907, Hindustan Co-operative Insurance Company took its birth in one of the rooms of the Jorasanko, house of the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, in Calcutta.

The first two decades of the twentieth century saw lot of growth in insurance business. From 44 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.22.44 crore, it rose to 176 companies with total business-in-force as Rs.298 crore in 1938.

ABOUT KNOWLADGE OF INSURANCE

What is life insurance?

Life Insurance is an agreement that guarantees payment of a stated amount of monetary benefits at the end of a specified term or on the death of the life insured.

Why do I need life insurance?

Life Insurance provides for financial security in the event of death or on the inability to earn due to physical disabilities. Besides providing for financial security in the case of one's untimely death, it can be used to accumulate a kitty for your old age, systematically build assets, for funding your child's education and also for saving on taxes.

Nomination

What is nomination? And who is a nominee?

Nomination is a right conferred on the life insurance policyholder to appoint a person or persons to receive the policy monies in the event of the policy becoming a claim by death. Any policyholder, who is a major and the life insured under a policy, can make a nomination.A nominee is the person designated by the policyholder to receive the proceeds of an insurance policy, upon the death of the insured.

Can I change my nomination?

Yes. You can change your nomination at any time till the maturity date. All you need to do is to inform us about the change through the specified form.

What details am I to provide about the nominee/s?

The following details are necessary when filling in the proposal form: full name of the nominee, address, age, and the relationship between you and the nominee.

4

What is the difference between nomination and assignment?

While nomination is an authorisation to receive the policy monies in the event of death of the life assured, it does not give the nominee an absolute right over the money received to the exclusion of other legal heirs. Further, the nomination can be revoked or cancelled at any time during the lifetime of the policyholder at his will and pleasure or by a subsequent assignment. On the other hand, assignment of an insurance policy is a transfer or assignment of all rights and liabilities of the insurance policy in favour of the assignee.

Claim

What is a Claim?

A claim is the payment made by the insurer to the insured or claimant on the occurrence of the event specified in the contract, in return for the premiums paid for the insured.

Once all the requirements are submitted, how much time does the Company take to settle the Claim?

The Company settles the Claim within 8 working days after all the records, documents and necessary forms are submitted and documentation is completed. In case, the Claim warrants further verification, the Company keeps the Claimant informed of the same. Subsequently, when the decision is taken, it is communicated to the Claimant by a letter. From November 2005, we have started sending SMS Alerts to the advisor of the policy to enable the quick communication of the decision of the claimants.

What is IRDA?

IRDA is Insurance Regulatory Development Authority, that has been set up to protect the interests of the policy holders, to regulate, promote and ensure orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. [This definition has been taken from the IRDA website]

4

What are IRDA guidelines pertaining to Claim processing?

As per IRDA (Insurance Regulatory Development Authority), the Insurance Company is required to settle a claim within 30 days of receipt of all requirements.  However, if the claim warrants further verification, the Company should complete its procedures within 6 months from receipt of written intimation of the claim. If the Company settles the claim beyond 6 months period, the interest is payable by the Company on the claim amount. The interest is payable only where the Claimant has submitted all the requirements. Further, rate and period of interest are decided as per IRDA guidelines.

Who is entitled to receive the Claim benefit?

The nominee or appointee (in case of minor nominee) last recorded under the Policy in case of Policy on own life. The proposer in case the Policy is not on own life. Assignee in case the Policy was assigned. Life Assured himself in case of policy on own life for living benefit claims (Eg Critical Illness rider)

How do I make a Maturity Claim?

You must send us the:- Completed Claim form- Policy of life assurance- Proof of age, if not submitted earlier

What is the benefit of opting for riders / add-ons?

Riders / add-ons are the additional benefits that can be added to the basic old policies prior to July 1, 2006, by paying a marginal additional premium. Riders offered by us are:a. ADBR: Accident & Disability Benefit Riderb. ABR: Accident Benefit Riderc. CIBR: Critical Illness Benefit Riderd. WOPR: Waiver of Premium Rider.e. IBR: Income Benefit Rider.

What is the difference between switch and redirection?

A switch will enable you to shift the existing units of your unit-linked policy into a new fund and will not change your future premium allocation.A premium redirection will enable you to change your allocation for all the future premiums of your policy. However, your existing units will not be shifted into a new fund.

4

In case I lose my policy document how do I obtain a duplicate policy?

You will need to pay the charges towards the issue of a duplicate policy, which will also include the charges for stamp fee. We will send a ‘Duplicate Policy Request’ form that you will need to fill and send us. You will also need to send us additional requirements like FIR copy/advertisement in the newspaper

How will the Net Asset Value (NAV) be calculated for my servicing requests?

The Net Asset Value (NAV) is applicable at the time of valuation/purchase. It is calculated as the value on the day you make a transaction request (provided it is a working day).

How do I notify a change in address? OR How can I change my policy details?

You have the following options:1. Download the ‘Change Request’ form from the Download Centre section of our website, fill and send it to us.2. Call our Customer Service Helpline numbers mentioned in the Contact Us section of the website.3. Or write to us at the corporate address mentioned in the Contact Us section of the website.

Can I change the frequency of payment for my policy?

Yes, you can change the premium frequency from low (annual) to a higher frequency (bi-annual or monthly) or vice-versa.

When does a policy lapse?

A policy lapses when the policy holder fails to pay the premium even within the grace period. In this case, the policy loses all its benefits.

4

Surrender/Partial withdrawal / Assignment

Can I surrender my policy?

Top-ups are one-time payments. You have the flexibility to make an additional investment through a top-up, which is over and above your regular premium payments. You can make a top-up at any time while your policy is in force. The applicable norms for top-ups may differ for every product. For product-specific details on the same, please refer to the product brochures available in the Products section of the website.

What is ‘transfer’ or ‘assignment’ of a life insurance policy?

Transfer or assignment is a method of transferring one’s transferable interest in a life insurance policy to another person or institution, for example, as a security for repayment of loans.

Can I assign a policy?

Yes, you can assign a policy. To assign the policy, you have to notify us regarding the assignment.

4

How do I assign a policy or transfer a life insurance policy?

Assignment or transfer of a life insurance policy may be made by simply making an endorsement to that effect in the policy document. Another way of transferring or assigning the life insurance policy is to get a separate assignment deed executed.The former case is the preferred mode of assignment as it is exempt from further stamp duty. An assignment should be signed by the assignor or his duly authorized agent, and should specifically state the fact of transfer or assignment. The document should be attested by at least one witness.

Is assignment allowed on all the insurance plans?

Assignment is applicable on all insurance plans except Pension Policies and Married Women’s Property Act (MWP).

E-PROCUREMENT

E-procurement (electronic procurement, sometimes also known as supplier exchange) is the business-to-business or business-to-consumer purchase and sale of supplies and services through the Internet as well as other information and networking systems, such as Electronic Data Interchange and Enterprise Resource Planning. Typically, e-procurement Web sites allow qualified and registered users to look for buyers or sellers of goods and services. Depending on the approach, buyers or sellers may specify costs or invite bids.

Transactions can be initiated and completed. Ongoing purchases may qualify customers for volume discounts or special offers. E-procurement software may make it possible to automate some buying and selling. Companies participating expect to be able to control parts inventories more effectively, reduce purchasing agent overhead, and improve manufacturing cycles. E-procurement is expected to be integrated with the trend toward computerized supply chain management.

There are six main types of e-procurement:

Web-based ERP (Electronic Resource Planning): Creating and approving purchasing requisitions, placing purchase orders and receiving goods and services by using a software system based on Internet technology.

e-MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operating): The same as web-based ERP except that the goods and services ordered are non-product related MRO supplies.

e-sourcing: Identifying new suppliers for a specific category of purchasing requirements using Internet technology.

e-tendering: Sending requests for information and prices to suppliers and receiving the responses of suppliers using Internet technology.

e-reverse auctioning: Using Internet technology to buy goods and services from a number of known or unknown suppliers.

4

E-informing: Gathering and distributing purchasing information both from and to internal and external parties using Internet technology.

Advantages and disadvantages of E-Procurement

Advantages include getting the right product, from the right supplier, at the right time, for the right price and the right quantity. In reality e-procurement has the advantage of taking supply chain management to the next level, providing real time information to the vendor as to the status of a customer's needs.

For example, a vendor may have an agreement with a customer to automatically ship materials when the customer's stock level reaches a low point, thus bypassing the need for the customer to ask for it. A major disadvantage to this type of agreement could be that the vendor has the power to take advantage of the customer by knowing more information about the customer than they would have if the customer was in a normal supply chain management structure.

Sum Insured: How to calculate the sum insured for:

Home Structure:The home insurance policy insures the structure of your home for its reconstruction value (and not for market value). Reconstruction value is defined as the cost incurred to reconstruct the home if it is damaged. On the other hand market value is a combination of cost of land, demand & supply scenario, etc.

Sum insured is calculated by multiplying the built up area of your home with the construction rate per sq. feet, e.g. if your built up area of your home is 1000 sq. feet and the construction rate is Rs. 800 per sq. feet, the sum insured for your home structure is Rs. 8,00,000.

We recommend the rate of construction for your location when you are buying online. However, this value can be revised appropriately if expensive material - like marble flooring, etc. – has been used in construction. If your home has lawn / garden surrounded by a perimeter wall, the construction rate can be revised to include the cost of construction of this wall in home structure sum insured.

Mid-Sized Cities (like:Hyderabad, Ghaziabad, Nagpur, indore, Ahemdabad)

Development Insurance Plan  

Development Insurance plan is an insurance plan which provides life cover to members of a Development Agency for a term of one year. On the death of any member of the group insured during the year of cover, a lump sum is paid to that member’s beneficiaries to help meet some of the immediate financial needs following their loss.

Eligibility - Members of the development agency and their spouses with:

    - Minimum age at the start of the policy 18 years last birthday    - Maximum age at the start of policy 50 years last birthdayEmployees of the Development Agency are not eligible to join the group. The group to be covered is only eligible if it contains more than 500 members.

    Premium Payments

  The premium to be paid will be quoted per member in the group and will be the same for all members of the group. The premium can only be paid by the Development Agency as a single lump sum that includes all premiums for the group to be covered. Cover will not start until the premium and all the member information in our specified format has been received.

  The premium rate is Rs. 25 per Rs. 10,000 of lump sum, per member.

Benefits  On the death of each member covered by the policy during the year

of cover a lump sum equal to the sum assured will be paid to their beneficiaries or legal heirs. Where the death is as a result of an accident, an additional lump sum will be paid equal to half the sum assured. There are no benefits paid at the end of the year of cover and there is no surrender value available at any time.

    The role of the Development Agency

4

  Due to the nature of the groups covered, HDFC Standard Life will be passing certain administrative tasks onto the Development Agency. By passing on these tasks the premium charged can be lower. These tasks would include:

Submission of member data in a specified computer formatCollection of premiums from group membersRecording changes in the details of group membersDisbursement of claim payments and the mortality rebate (if any) to group members

These tasks would be in addition to the usual duties of a policyholder such as:

Payment of premiumsReporting of claimsKeeping policy holder information up to date

  Training and support will be available to give guidance on how to complete the tasks appropriately. Since these additional tasks will impose a burden on the Development Agency, the Development Agency may charge a Rs. 10 administration fee to their members.

    Prohibition of rebates

  Section 41 of the Insurance Act, 1938 states No person shall allow or offer to allow, either directly or

indirectly, as an inducement to any person to take out or renew or continue an insurance in respect of any kind of risk relating to lives or property in India, any rebate of the whole or part of the commission payable or any rebate of the premium shown on the policy, nor shall any person taking out or renewing or continuing a policy accept any rebate, except such rebate as may be allowed in accordance with the published prospectus or tables of the insurerIf any person fails to comply with sub regulation (previous point) above, he shall be liable to payment of a fine which may extend to rupees five hundred
