Introduction:
Meaning of Insurance
Insurance provides financial protection against a loss arising out of happening of an uncertain event. A person can avail this protection by paying premium to an insurance company.
A pool is created through contributions made by persons seeking to protect themselves from common risk. Premium is collected by insurance companies which also act as trustee to the pool. Any loss to the insured in case of happening of an uncertain event is paid out of this pool.
Insurance works on the basic principle of risk-sharing. A great advantage of insurance is that it spreads the risk of a few people over a large group of people exposed to risk of similar type.
Definition
Insurance is a contract between two parties whereby one party agrees to undertake the risk of another in exchange for consideration known as premium and promises to pay a fixed sum of money to the other party on happening of an uncertain event (death) or after the expiry of a certain period in case of life insurance or to indemnify the other party on happening of an uncertain event in case of general insurance.
The party bearing the risk is known as the 'insurer' or 'assurer' and the party whose risk is covered is known as the 'insured' or 'assured'.
Concept of Insurance / How Insurance Works
The concept behind insurance is that a group of people exposed to similar risk come together and make contributions towards formation of a pool of funds. In case a person actually suffers a loss on account of such risk, he is compensated out of the same pool of funds. Contribution to the pool is made by a group of people sharing common risks and collected by the insurance companies in the form of premiums.
A promise of compensation for specific potential future losses in exchange for a periodic payment. Insurance is designed to protect the financial well-being of an individual, company or other entity in the case of unexpected loss. Some forms of insurance are required by law, while others are optional. Agreeing to the terms of an insurance policy creates a contract between the insured and the insurer. In exchange for payments from the insured (called premiums), the insurer agrees to pay the policy holder a sum of money upon the occurrence of a specific event. In most cases, the policy holder pays part of the loss (called the deductible), and the insurer pays the rest. Examples include car insurance, health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance, and business insurance.

Historical Background:
Insurance is nothing but a system of accepting risk of the Insured by the Insurer having consideration in the form of premium to safeguard his interest from any accident. In case of big risk the Insurer needs to transfer the risk to re-insurer. Re-Insurance means
spreading of risk of one onto the shoulder of many. In brief, Re-Insurance means Insurance of Insurance. Whilst it becomes somewhat impossible for a man to bear by himself 100% loss to his own property or interest arising out of an unforeseen contingency, insurance is a method or process which distributes the burden of loss on number of persons within the group framed for this particular purpose. The concept of grouping together or risk sharing was in existence in very ancient times but gradually developed in its present state through a process of evolution to meet the growing needs of the people in the field of general business and industries.
With a view to catering to the growing demands of this type of service Rupali Insurance Company Limited emerged as an Incorporated Public Limited Company on 20 th June 1988 and started its operations.

Products & service:
1. Marine Insurance:
The policies primarily aim at providing protection in respect of loss, damage or destruction to the subject matter of insurance i.e. Hull, Cargo and freight caused by perils of the seas or maritime perils like fire, theft, jettison, collision, contact, heavy weather, stranding/ foundering sinking, war perils and other perils.
a) Hull: This refers to the ship, that is to say, hull and machinery of the vessel. The ship is always at the risk of the perils of the seas and, therefore, the ship owner can insure it against probable loss as such. b) Cargo: This refers to goods or merchandises that are being carried from one place to another or are being imported or exported. Such goods or merchandise may be lost, damaged or destroyed by perils of the seas whilst in course of transit and therefore, the owner of goods can always insure against the probable losses.
c) Freight: This is the consideration payable to the ship owner in respect of carriage of goods by owner's ship. Sometimes the freight is prepaid when it is at the risk of the cargo owner and sometimes the freight is after-paid when it is at the risk of ship owner.
2. Non-Marine Insurance:
Non Marine Insurance can be classified into three parts viz-
a) Fire,
b) Motor &
c) Miscellaneous:-
Burglary or House Breaking Cash in Safe Cash in Counter Cash in Transit DOS (Deterioration of Stock) Insurance MBD (Machinery Break Down) Insurance EAR (Erection All Risk) Insurance CAR (Contractor All Risk) Insurance Boiler & Pressure Vessels Insurance Aviation Insurance CPM (Contractor Plant & Machinery) Fidelity Guarantee Insurance EEP (Electronic Equipment Insurance Policy
IAR (Industrial All Risk) Third Party Liability Overseas Medic aim Policy
Poultry Insurance Policy PPA (People Personal Accident) PA (Personal Accident) Air Travel Policy Exhibition Cancellation Policy
Thus we may say that the field of the Miscellaneous Insurance is being expanded and number of types is being increased day by day comprehensively. The reasons behind this are the extension of the field of insurance business in modern age and the increasing demand for it. Therefore, the speed and the nature of insurance business are being multiplied rapidly every day.
Mode of payment:
-Pay on the entire policy with one large payment
- The payment into monthly installments
This way you are free to choose paying off the whole policy amount upfront in a single payment or pay in installments every month as monthly payments. Monthly payments will; save you from the hassle of paying off in huge amount. It becomes manageable to pay back in easy installments which allow you to make smaller payment when your income is low, there is salary deduction or you have lost your job etc. Whatever may be the circumstances, you need to weigh the pros and cons before deciding to choose your payment plan. Be aware of the consequences if you don’t pay your policy on time. Your policy may be terminated and the entire amount you have paid so far will be nullified. This means you have no policy on hand and no refund of what was earlier paid
Description of Non-Marine Insurance:
Non Marine Insurance can be classified into three parts viz-
a) Fire,
b) Motor &
c) Miscellaneous.
a) Fire Insurance: All policies issued under the heading of Fire Insurance primarily aim at providing protection against financial losses arising out of the operation of fire or certain other specified perils. The subject matters of insurance are usually:
Building, Furniture, Fixture and Fittings, Plant and Machinery,Goods and Merchandise, Stocks of all kindsThe policies provide cover in respect of material loss or damage. However, policies are issued in the fire department in respect of consequential losses or loss of profits arising out of material loss. These policies are known as consequential loss insurance or loss of profit insurance. Thus the scope of fire insurance may be considered under two broad headings viz., i) Material loss insurance and ii) Consequential loss insurance
b) Motor Insurance: Different types of policies may be issued for different types of motor vehicles. Motor vehicles are usually classified in the following manner:Private Cars, Commercial Vehicles, Agricultural Vehicles, Motor traders' vehicles Policies issued are usually of the following types irrespective of the class of vehicle:
i) Comprehensive Policy: This policy provides protection in respect of:1. Own damage or loss of the Vehicle
2. Liability of the insured in respect of death or bodily injury to the third party and damage caused to the property of third party arising out of the use of motor vehicle on the road.
3. Act liability only policy i.e. legal liability of the insured in respect of death and bodily injury to third party arising out of the motor vehicles use on a public road.
ii) Third party only policy: This policy provides cover only in respect of the legal liability of the insured arising out of the death and bodily injury to third party and damage to the property of third party in connection with the use of motor vehicle.
iii) Act Liability only Policy: This policy provides cover only in respect of the legal liability of the insured arising out of the death and bodily injury to third party in connection with the use of the motor vehicle
c) Miscellaneous: It may be pointed out that any policy that does not appropriately come under marine, Fire, and Motor shall come under this head. Therefore, the scope of this branch is indeed very wide and numbers of various types of policies are issued in this head. However, only those policies which fall within the scope of property insurance will be discussed here.
