Product and Performance Evaluation of-Sandhani Life Insurance & Northern General Insurance Company Ltd.

Introduction

The business of insurance is gradually expanding in this country,but the corresponding knowledge to conduct and regulate the business of insurance on sound footing is not.One of the reasons could be the lack of technical knowledge which necessitates easy availability of authoritative reading materials.This is one front where we are lacking far behind.

Insurance is nothing but a system of spreading the risk of one onto the shoulders of many.Whilst it becomes somewhat impossible for a man to bear by himself 100% loos to his own property or interest arising out of an unforeseen contingency,insurance is a method or process which distributes the burden of the loss on a number of persons within the group formed for this particular purpose.

Although not in the present day from of insurance.the concept of such a philosophy of grouping together or risk sharing developed in very ancient times.We can probably go back to 4th century which witnessed the practice of BOTTOMRY BONDS and RESPONDENTIA BONDS in maritime trade.Another practice which is still in existence is known as GENERAL AVERAGE which has in itself the element of sharing the loss of one by all.It is very old custom and can be traced back to 916 B.C. during the time of Rhodians.

Type of Products:

Sandhani Life Insurance Company Limited is carrying out the Following types of insurance/re-insurance business:

1. Ordinary life Insurance: What makes ordinary life insurance different from term life insurance? An ordinary life insurance policy is a combination of a term insurance policy and a “savings account.” The policy owner pays a level premium, which is usually higher in the early years, and excess amounts are used to fund the savings account (also known as the cash value). Ordinary life insurance allows the policy owner to choose one of the following options, even if the insured doesn’t die.

  • receive some of the premium back in the form of a low-cost policy loan
  • surrender the policy for cash
  • receive a reduced life insurance benefit at death
  • continue the current life insurance benefit for a reduced time period

Types of Ordinary Life Insurance:

a) Universal life insurance.

b) Variable Universal Life.

c) Death Benefit at Low Cost.

d) CAUTION.

2. Greha sanchay: In view of the growing share of services in the gross domestic product, the government is planning to introduce a services price index on the lines of the present wholesale and retail commodity price indices.

3. Takaful, IDPS, GIDPS & ISB: One kind of insurance in sandhani life insurance company.

5. Group Insurance: Group insurance is an insurance that covers a group of people, usually who are the members of societies, employees of a common employer, or professionals in a common group.

Group insurance may or may not be converted to individual coverage. As group insurance gets big business for an insurance company with minimum operational expenses (under one master policy issued to an employer, union or any recognized group), it is usually less expensive than individual policies.

2. Product Name with Description

Type of Products: Northern General Insurance Company Limited is carrying out the Following types of insurance/re-insurance business:

1. Fire Insurance Business: A fire at a business can devastate a business. The structure may be damaged beyond repair. Business revenues are disrupted as the business cannot remain open. In the United States in 2006 there were 1.6 million fires reported resulting in $11.3 billion in direct property loss. It is a risk that must be insured against.

Most property insurance policies and business owner policies cover fire losses. Most business property insurance policies are broad form policies. These policies list a number of perils that are covered by the policy and exclude perils that are not covered.

However, fire insurance can be purchased as a specific peril policy or the coverage increased by a specific endorsement. It is important for the business owner to understand what is not covered under a traditional broad form policy and ways to increase coverage. It is important to review what appropriate considerations when reducing premiums are and what not effective ways to save premiums are.

2. Marine Insurance Business: The statistical records of marine underwriting are rarely brought to the notice of the public. Unlike life and fire insurance, the business, though an important one is limited in its extent. Men engaged in every occupation insure their lives and property as a means of protection in case of death or fire; but marine policies are taken out by those only who own vessels or who export or import merchandise.

3. Motor Insurance Business: By law any vehicle used on the road or other public place must be covered by a motor insurance policy. If you, your employees or anyone else working for your business uses a vehicle for work then you should check that:

  • all vehicles owned by your business are covered by appropriate insurance
  • any employees’ vehicles used for or in connection with business have their insurance extended to cover use for their employer’s business
  • any personal vehicle insurance that you may have covers business use

You should also make sure that the cover provided by the policy is appropriate as there are different classes of business use. For example, traveling sales people or commercial representatives are considered differently from those making only occasional business trips.

If you own several vehicles you may be able to get fleet cover that might offer better terms. Your insurance broker will be able to advise you on this.

You need to check the licenses of all your drivers and advise your insurers of any motoring convictions. Otherwise, you will not be insured. You will also need to tell insurers of any motor convictions that happen after insurance is in plan.
