INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

BUSINESS AND DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS:

 

In the last financial year structural changes in the Life Insurance Industry continued and the year was first full year of operation post changes in the ULIP Regulations. This year saw new regulation in the areas of Corporate Governance, Asset Liability Management and Stress Testing etc. which should significantly improve Corporate Governance and Risk Management practices in the sector. The year also witnessed the coming into force of new regulation in the areas of Distance Marketing and Web Aggregators, besides Exposure Drafts in the areas of Senior Agent and Orphan Policy among other distribution centric aspects, all of which are expected to alter for better the way insurance products are distributed in this country. The year also witnessed the focus shifting from Unit Linked products to Traditional products and an increasing trend towards long-term selling, which augurs well for the Industry.

 

The Company’s Life Advisors and the distribution team worked hard to successfully adapt to changes in their operating environment. Life Advisors exiting the profession is a challenge for the Industry as a whole. The Company is working on the challenge and remains confident of adjusting to changes in the industry and environment and improve its distribution strength.

Strengthening and growing these relationships will continue to be a major focus in FY 2012-13.

 

c. Group Insurance

 

The Company’s Group Business continues to perform exceedingly well year-on-year. The Company provides a range of products from Term Insurance, Group Gratuity and Group Mortgage Insurance Schemes to cater to its group clientele. Strong relationships within the Kotak Group and with other IRDA licensed Insurance Brokers have resulted in generation of significant business in this segment. The Company generated a premium income of Rs.3540.000 Millions (FY 2010-11 Rs.2880.000 Millions) from the group insurance business representing a growth of 23% over FY 2010-11.

 

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

The new ULIP regulations that came into force in September 2010 have impacted life insurance business and players have taken time adapting to changes in their operating environment. The Company is focussing on enhancing efficiency and productivity of its delivery channels. Significant proportion of insurance is still sold through individual agents and there is renewed vigour to manage this channel effectively to ensure persistency. In the new environment, focus of insurers has shifted from large-scale expansion to sustained value creation and efficient use of capital coupled with productivity of distribution channels.
