LIC AAO Capsule - 2016 Visit us @ Sehpaathi.in Methods of Insurance Some important methods of insurance are discussed as under:  Co-insurance – When insurance companies shares risks between them known as CoInsurance or Risks shared between insurers  Dual Insurance – If a person has taken more than one policies for specific purpose orrisks having two or more policies with same coverage  Self-Insurance – Situations where risk is not transferred to insurance companies and solely retained by the entities or individuals themselves  Reinsurance – If one insurance company passes some or whole part of risks to another insurance company or Situations when Insurer passes some part of or all risks to another Insurer called Reinsurer. Seven Insurance Principles: Principal of Utmost Good Faith  Both parties, insurer and insured should enter into contract in good faith  Insured should provide all the information that impacts the subject matter  Insurer should provide all the details regarding insurance contract For example – John took a health insurance policy. At the time of taking policy, he was a smoker and he didn’t disclose this fact. He got cancer. Insurance company won’t pay anything as John didn’t reveal the important facts. Principle of Insurable Interest  Insured must have the insurable interest on the subject matter  In case of life insurance spouse and dependents have insurable interest in the life of a person.Corporations also have insurable interests in the life of it’s employees  In case of life or marine insurance, insured must be the owner both at the time of entering of entering into the insurance contract and at the time of accident. Principle of Indemnity LIC AAO 2016 capsule @ Sehpaathi.in are very important from exam point of view.

Insurance contract is meant for coverage of losses only  Indemnity means a guarantee to put the insured in the position as he was before accident  This principle doesn’t apply to life insurance contracts Principle of Contribution  In case the insured took more than one insurance policy for same subject matter, he/she can’t make profit by making claim for same loss more than once For example – Raj has a property worth Rs.5,00,000. He took insurance from Company A worth Rs.3,00,000 and from Company B – Rs.1,00,000.In case of accident, he incurred a loss of Rs.3,00,000 to the property. Raj can claim Rs. Rs.3,00,000 from A but after that he can’t make profit by making a claim from Company B. Now Company A can make a claim from Company B to for proportional loss claim value. Principle of Subrogation After the insured gets the claim money, the insurer steps into the shoes of insured. After making the payment insurance claim, the insurer becomes the owner of subject matter. For example :- Ram took a insurance policy for his Car. In an accident his car totally damaged. Insurer paid the full policy value to insured. Now Ram can’t sell the scrap remained after the scrap. Principle of Loss Minimisation  This principle states that the insured must take all the necessary steps to minimize the losses to inured assets. For example – Ram took insurance policy fo his house. In an cylinder blast, his house burnt. He should have called nearest fire station so that the loss could be minimised. Principle of Cause Proxima  Word “Cause Proxima” means “Nearest Cause”  An accident may be caused by more than one cause. In case property insured for only one cause. In such case nearest cause of the accident is found out.  Insurer pays the claim money only if the nearest cause is insured Important milestones in the Indian Life insurance business LIC AAO 2016 capsule @ Sehpaathi.in are very important from exam point of view.

If you survive, you don’t get anything and lose the yearly premiums you paid.  The premium for such policies will obviously be more as compared to pure term plans. Insurance-cum-Investment Products As the name suggests, these are plans that provide insurance and along with it return on investments. Endowment Plans: Take a term plan and add an offer of some returns on the premiums you pay – that is an endowment policy for you. If you survive the policy term, you get the sum assured plus the returns and if you die during the policy tenure, you still get the sum assured plus some returns. To get these returns along with the life cover, you end up paying more premium. With-profit endowment plans: These plans share the profits the insurance company makes each year with the policyholder. So they offer more returns than without-profit endowment plans and are more expensive as well – that it, for all parameters considered same, the premiums will be higher than without-profit endowment plans. Without-profit endowment plans: These plans do not participate in the profits the insurance company makes each year. Apart from the sum assured, you could possibly get a loyalty bonus, which is a onetime payout made in appreciation of your sticking to the insurance company. Whole-life plans: Term plans, endowment plans and money back plans offer insurance cover till a specified age, generally 70 years. Whole-life plans provide cover throughout your life. Usually, the policyholder is given an option to pay premiums till a certain age or a specified period (called maturity age).On reaching the maturity age, the policyholder has the option to continue the cover till death without paying any premium or encashing the sum assured and bonuses.

LIC AAO Capsule - 2016 Visit us @ Sehpaathi.in Money-back plans: Money-back plans are variants of endowment plans with one difference – the payout can be staggered through the policy term. Some part of the sum assured is returned to the policy holder at periodic intervals through the policy tenure. In case of death, the full sum assured is paid out irrespective of the payouts already made. Unit-linked insurance plans (ULIP): ULIP give you greater control on where your premium can be invested. Think of them like mutual funds. The annual premium you pay can be invested in various types of funds that invest in debt and equity in a proportion that suits all types of investors. You can switch from one fund plan to another freely and you can also monitor the performance of your plan easily. There are various charges to be aware of in a ULIP and is suitable for those who understand the stock market well. Of late, ULIPs qualified as the most abused insurance plan.

However, if the payout starts after some years of deferment, it is called a deferred annuity.

LIC AAO Capsule - 2016  Visit us @ Sehpaathi.in Reinsurance: In effect, insurance that an insurance company buys for its own protection. The risk of loss is spread so a disproportionately large loss under a single policy doesn’t fall on one company. Reinsurance enables an insurance company to expand its expanding volume; secure catastrophe protection against shock losses; and withdraw a specified time period.  Renewal: The automatic re-establishment of in-force status effected by the payment of another premium.  Rider: It is an optional feature that can be added to a policy. You will have to pay an additional premium to avail this benefit.  Subrogation: It is the right for an insurer to pursue a third party that caused an insurance loss to the insured. This is done as a means of recovering the amount of the claim paid to the insured for the loss.  Sum assured: It is the amount of money an insurance policy guarantees to pay before any bonuses are added. In other words, sum assured is the guaranteed amount you will receive. Halfway through the policy, you might want to discontinue it and take whatever money is due to you.  Surrender value: This is the amount payable at the end of specified duration. These amounts are fixed and predetermined.  Insurance Settlement: A payment on an insurance claim. That is, when a valid insurance claim is made, the insurer makes a payment to the policyholder. This is call the insurance settlement.  Lapse: Termination of a policy due to failure to pay the required renewal premium.  Term insurance: It is the most traditional life insurance policy wherein the insured gets death benefit if any contingency happens within the policy term. The insured is, however, not entitled to receive any survival benefit if he outlives the policy term.  Underwriting: The process of selection risks for insurance and determining in what amounts and on what terms the insurance company will accept. Unlike a term insurance cover, if you live, an amount will be paid to you on maturity of the plan. Do tell us on how was the sheet.
