Introduction:
The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same
instinct that prompts modern businessmen today to secure themselves against
loss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too sought to avert the evil
consequences of fire and flood and loss of life and were willing to make some
sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of insurance is
largely a development of the recent past, particularly after the industrial era –
past few centuries – yet its beginnings date back almost 6000 years.
Company Profile:
Today LIC functions with 2048 fully computerized branch offices, 113 divisional
offices, 8 zonal offices, 1381 satellite offices and the corporate office. LIC’s Wide
Area Network covers 113divisional offices and connects all the branches through a
Metro Area Network. LIC has tied up with some Banks and Service providers to offer
on-line premium collection facility in selected cities. LIC’s ECS and ATM premium
payment facility is an addition to customer convenience.
The company was founded in 1956 when the Parliament of India passed the Life
Insurance of India Act that nationalized the private insurance industry in India.
Over 245 insurance companies and provident societies were merged to create the
state-owned Life Insurance Corporation.

Literature Review:
What Is Insurance?
There are three parties in a life insurance transaction; the insurer, the insured, and the
owner of the policy (policyholder), although the owner and the insured are often the
same person.
LIC provides a wide variety of products to the people they are as follows
1) Endowment plan
3) Pension Plan

Objectives:
➢ To determine and analyze the Market Potential of the LIC.
➢ To determine whether the customers are satisfied with the policies of the
company.
➢ To know the customer awareness regarding the LIC and its products.
Scope:
Now days there are lot of private companies in market so it’s important to know
what motivates the customer to buy the policy. LIC is the fastest growing private
insurance company in India. It determines market share of the various private
companies in India.
Research Methodology:

Secondary data

▪ reports prepared by researchers,

Limitations of Study:
This is the biggest limitation found in this sector. Most of the people are not aware
about the importance and the necessity of the insurance in their life. They are not
aware how useful life insurance can be for their family members if something
happens to them.
People still consider insurance just as a Tax saving device. So today also there is
always a rush to buy an Insurance Policy only at the end of the financial year like
January, February and March making the other 9 months dry for this business.
Expected Outcome:
1. The investors should understand the ULIP schemes and then invest
properly.
2. The investors also pay their premium on time for avoiding penalties.
