INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The services sector, the largest contributor to India’s GDP, contracted for the sixth consecutive month in December, as orders dipped. However, hiring has risen.  Direct tax collections rose 12.3 % during the April – December period of the current financial year.  The government has decided to retain 100 per cent foreign direct investment in both greenfield (new) and brown field (existing) pharmaceutical companies, despite concerns over genetic drugs going out of production, if multi-national companies take over domestic ones. In M&A deals, a non-compete clause would not be allowed, except in special circumstances. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion plans to release the next edition of its consolidated foreign direct investment policy document on March 31, incorporating changes made in the past year. DIPP compiles all policies related to India’s FDI regime into a single document to make it easy for investors to understand. 185 million estimated number of mobile internet users in India by June 2014, according to a report by the Internet & Mobile Association of India and IMRB International.  India had 110 million mobile internet users with 25 million in rural areas. $3.77 tn estimated global IT spending in 2014, according to research firm Gartner Inc. The growth forecast for this year is cut to 3.1 %from the earlier estimate of 3.5 %. The spending growth forecast for telecom services – a segment that accounts for more than 40 % at total IT spending – from 1.9 per cent to 1.2 per cent is the main reason for this overall IT cut. A Reserve Bank of India committee has recommended setting up a special category of lenders who would cater to small businesses and households, to expand the number of customers with access to banking services. These banks would focus on providing payment services and deposit products.  Indian banks want the free use of automated teller machines to be capped at five transactions in a month including that of the bank in which the account is active. This follows state government order to banks to install security guards at ATM booths after a woman banker was assaulted in Bangalore. The government is likely to present a vote on Account in mid-February. The annual Economic Survey will be tabled later in Parliament along with the full Budget. A full Budget for 2014/15 is likely to be present in July by the new government formed after the General Election. The government will soon launch an internet spy system, called Netra, to detect malafide messages. Security agency will deploy the system to capture dubious voice traffic on applications such as Skype and Google Talk, as well as tweeters.

BACKGROUND

 

Subject was incorporated on August 31, 2000 as a Company under the Companies Act, 1956 to undertake and carry on the business of life insurance and annuity. The Company obtained a license from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority („IRDA) dated January 10, 2001 for carrying on the business of life insurance and annuity. The license has been renewed regularly and is in force as at March 31, 2013.

 

 

BUSINESS AND DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS

 

A) INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS

 

The year witnessed increased focus towards traditional products and an increasing trend towards long-term selling, which augurs well for the Industry. The Company has driven protection and long term savings (PALTS) across its distribution verticals.

 

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.

 

The Company continues to focus on distribution efficiency and will ensure that it remains a key deliverable in next fiscal as well. Investment in training Life Advisors and sales hierarchy have been stepped up to ensure that the distribution is equipped to meet customers’ expectations.

 

Kotak Mahindra Bank has a share of 62% (APE basis) of Alternate Channel business for Financial Year 2012-13. Besides Kotak Mahindra Bank, we have agency tie ups with cooperative and commercial banks, corporate agents and brokers which also contribute to the premium income.

 

 

B) GROUP BUSINESS

 

The Company provides a range of products from Term Insurance, Group Gratuity and Group Mortgage Insurance Schemes to cater to its group clientele. The Company generated a premium income of Rs. 5000.000 Millions (FY 2011-12 Rs. 3540.000 Millions) from the group insurance business representing a growth of 41.2% over FY 2011-12.

 

 

PRODUCTS

 

The Company launched Kotak Assured Protection Plan, a unique and first of its kind traditional product which offered the customer ‘Complete Protection’ or protection against every conceivable outcome during the term, such as natural death, accidental death, accidental disability, critical illness or on survival at end of the term. This is an innovative product in the Industry to provide for all these benefits in a single product. The Company also launched Kotak Single Invest Plus, a single premium unit linked joint life plan. The Company also launched two Group Products in the Traditional Non Par Segment – Kotak Secure Return Gratuity Plan and Kotak Secure Return Leave Encashment. A Leave Encashment product has been introduced for the first time in the Company’s product portfolio.

 

 

MARKETING

 

The Company’s marketing efforts during the year were focused on establishing the Company’s core purpose of ‘adding value to people’s lives through Protection and Long Term Savings’ (PALTS) and reinforcing the culture of customer-centricity in every outreach.

 

The Company’s website was redesigned to reflect this commitment and it has fared well on usability tests and user surveys, on criteria of ease of use, navigation, design and content.

 

The Company also reworked on its recruitment and sales tools to make them more effective. Comprehensive kits were created in keeping with the essence of various channels, to drive volumes in Life Advisor recruitment and to attract good talent. Sales enablers were also designed in keeping with PALTS and transformed sales strategies.

 

The Company’s Facebook application won a Bronze at the Campaign India Digital Media Awards. The Company’s innovative use of in-car advertising in Meru cabs won it a Bronze in the new media category. The Company’s Facebook page has crossed 1 Lakh fans.

 

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

The private industry has witnessed a fall of 6% in new business premiums over the previous year. In this new environment of sluggish growth, focus of insurers will shift from large-scale expansion to sustained value creation and efficient use of capital coupled with productivity of distribution channels. A fresh set of Regulations which have bearing on all categories of products, across the Industry, were released in the beginning of March and the Company’s product design efforts would be directed to ensure that the present products are revamped and are ready and available to customers on time.

 

 

OPERATIONS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE

 

The Company is committed to best in class customer service and recognizes it to be a key long term strategic differentiator. Towards this end, during the course of the year, the Company invested in several initiatives to make the customers’ experience seamless and pleasant.

 

1.       The Company introduced multiple new modes through which customers can pay premiums apart from expanding and strengthening existing ones. The Company’s customers can now pay premiums through debit and credit card online, or through credit card at branches or over the Company’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, or pay using a mobile device through the Interbank Mobile Payment Service (IMPS), a first in the insurance sector. The Company has extended the Regional Electronic Clearing Service (RECS) facility to 16 states and the direct debit facility to 14 Banks, besides enabling customers to pay via standing instructions on their Kotak Bank Credit Card.

 

2.       In line with the Company’s avowed commitment to sustainability, the Company actively encourages customers to shift from paper based communication to paperless communication via the electronic mode.

 

3.       The Company has enhanced its online policyholder self-service platform, ‘Online Policy Manager’, with several features to improve its usability such as auto registration facility and premium calendar.
