Volume : IV, Issue : VII, August - 2014 AWARENESS OF LIFE INSURANCE AMONG SAMPLE CUSTOMERS Ashok S. Banne, Sarang S. Bhola By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : In 2012, Life insurance penetration in India which is the major indicator of growth of
insurance in the country was just 3.17 % compared to Japan 9.2%, Taiwan 15.0% S. Korea 6.9%.
(IRDA Annual Report 2012-13, p121-122) One of the important reasons for low penetration
was/is unawareness of the Indian people about need of insurance in their life. It is true that with
the establishment of IRDA and with the entry of private sector insurance companies, life
insurance market is witnessing introduction of innovative, need based and customer friendly
products. However, still majority of the Indian population is either uninsured or under-insured.
Yet, buying a life insurance policy is not a subject of preference on the 'agenda' of most of the
Indian people. Those who take out an insurance policy give priority for tax exemption and
saving rather than risk cover. This paper is an attempt to study the awareness about need of life
insurance among the customers of LIC. This research revealed that the customers are aware
about need of life insurance in their life and the Individual Agents of LIC are the major source of
information for the policyholders Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Ashok S. Banne, Sarang S. Bhola(2014). AWARENESS OF LIFE INSURANCE AMONG SAMPLE CUSTOMERS. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. IV, Issue. VII, http://isrj.org/UploadedData/5194.pdf References :
