INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb imports, especially gold, kicked in.  The current account deficit, the excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $ 5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest data suggests the government may achieve the target.

 

India was ranked 94th among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.

 

India’s services sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction, according the HSBC survey.

 

$53 million estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter, according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.

 

Rs.4080 million worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260 million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.

 

India aims to earn Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

 PERFORMANCE

 

 INDUSTRY IN FY2013

 

Life insurance industry registered a decline of 1.9% in retail weighted new business premium (RWRP) during FY2013. Within this, the public sector registered a decline of 4.1% and the private sector registered a growth of 1.9%. FY2013 was the first year after regulatory changes in September 2010 that the private sector registered a growth. Some of the key trends in the industry emerging after the regulatory changes are as follows:

 

The product mix of the private sector insurers has shifted from primarily unit linked to a more balanced product mix.

 

The share of agency channel in the distribution mix for private sector insurers has declined.

 

The number of individual agents for the private sector industry declined from 1.06 million in December 2011 to 0.96 million in December 2012 as the agency channel continues to adapt to the new regime.

 

 COMPANY IN FY2013

 

 The Company registered a growth of 17.5% in FY2013 against a decline of 23.5% in FY2012. Stronger growth of the Company, compared to an industry decline of 1.9% and private sector growth of 1.9%, resulted in an increase in market share based on RWRP from 5.9% in FY2012 to 7.0% in FY2013. Among private players, the Company maintained its leadership position and increased the market share from 16.1% in FY2012 to 18.5% in FY2013.

 

The new business premium (including group premium) collected by the Company increased by 8.3% from Rs.  44.41 billion in FY2012 to Rs.  48.08 billion in FY2013. Renewal premium declined by 8.9% from Rs.  95.81 billion in FY2012 to Rs.  87.30 billion in FY2013, resulting in a total premium decline of 3.4 % from Rs.  140.22 billion in FY2012 to Rs.  135.38 billion in FY2013. The decline in renewal premium is because of the decline of new business volumes in the past few years reflecting in renewal premiums with a lag.

 

 The Company registered 8.1% growth in profit after tax from Rs.  13.84 billion in FY2012 to Rs.  14.96 billion in FY2013. The solvency ratio for the Company remained healthy at 395.7% for FY2013. The assets under management (AUM) at March 31, 2013 were Rs.  741.64 billion as compared to Rs.  707.71 billion as at March 31, 2012. For its unit-linked funds, the Company delivered superior fund performance and 89% of the funds outperformed their respective internal benchmarks over the trailing five year period.

 

We continue to leverage technology in all sales and service processes to provide a convenient platform for the customer. The digital platform is designed to enable a structured sales process, faster and convenient on-boarding process and enhanced customer experience. For FY2013, 51.7% of new business applications and 16.7% of new business issuances (both ratios basis retail annualized premium equivalent) were through online platforms and 19.6% of retail renewal premium was collected online. For the last few years, two-thirds of servicing transactions are through self-service modes.

 

In addition to the focus on servicing, the Company has worked towards ensuring a transparent and trust worthy environment to the customer. Grievance ratio, which measures the number of grievances per 10,000 policies issued, has been further improved to 213 in FY2013 from 214 in FY2012 and 361 in FY2011. Claims acceptance ratio which measures proportion of claims accepted by the company to the claims submitted, was 96.3% in FY2013.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE INDUSTRY AND THE COMPANY

 

They believe that the life insurance industry would continue to be one of the preferred instruments for longer term savings and protection. The growth prospects of the industry remain positive on the back of the structural advantages like favourable demographics, high rate of financial savings, improving insurance product propositions and relative under penetration of insurance in India compared to global benchmarks.
