HISTORY & GROWTH OF ORGANISATION

Monopoly of LIC has been broken to make Indian Insurance to change its face and pace to tap the market and to make the new challenges in it.

Insurance in India is not about India only; it is an open sector for the private players.

The name which we would see in Indian insurance market is something like: - Bharti (Indian company) + AXA(foreign player), BAJAJ (Indian company) + Allianz (foreign player), TATA (Indian company) + AIG (foreign player) and so many like them.

Companies now are tapping a lot of ways to capture the market and hence adopting different ways to hold the large portion of the market.

Our project is to understand the different marketing strategies adopted by the companies to increase their market share and along with it meeting their own targets to achieve the position of no.1 in respective field or segment of the market.

About Bharti AXA Insurance Ltd.:-

Bharti AXA Life Insurance is a joint venture between Bharti, one of India’s leading

business groups with interests in telecom, agri business and retail, and AXA, world

leader in financial protection and wealth management. The joint venture company has a

74% stake from Bharti and 26% stake of AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Ltd (APH).

The company that launched its national operations in December 2006 has over 3000

employees across over 12 states in the country and their business philosophy is built

around the promise of making people "Life Confident".

The following quote from their website and other press media did make a connection to

what we got as an answer to one of the questions about their expansion strategies and

customer acceptance."As we expand our presence across the country to cater to your insurance and wealth management needs with our product and service offerings, we continue to bring 'life confidence' to customers spread across India. Whatever your plans in life, you can be confident that Bharti AXA Life will offer the right financial solutions to help you achieve them"

The Bharti group is very popular across the length and breadth of the country as

leading cell phone service provider - Airtel and if marketed as Airtel Insurance, people

easily recognize the brand name. Also marketing message and bundling could very

well be done with the backing of Airtel.

The market as of 2006, is dominated by LIC with 63 % share while ICICI Prudential

and Bajaj Allianz are leading private players with market shares of 10.6 % and 7.4 %

respectively. Bharti AXA has the challenges of second wave entrant while it has the

advantage to learn from the existing players and enjoy the already created insurance

awareness.

What happens if I am unable to pay premiums?

While we recommend that all your premiums be paid on the

respective due

dates, we also understand that sudden changes in lifestyle like an

increase in

responsibility or an unexpected increase in household expenses may

affect

your ability to pay future premiums. You have following flexibilities in

order to

ensure that your benefits under the Policy continue in full or part.

Grace Period: Grace period is the period after the premium due date, during which

you may pay your premiums without any impact on the Policy benefits.

The grace period for all Premium Payment Modes is 30 days.

Lapsation:

If the Premium is not paid on the due date the Policyholder gets a 30

days Grace Period to pay the due premiums, Benefits under the

policy remain unaltered during this period.

• If Policy has not acquired a Surrender Value:

If policyholder does not pay the due premiums within the Grace

Period, the policy shall lapse with effect from the date of such unpaid

premium (‘lapse date’). Policyholder will get two (2) years to Reinstate

the Policy from the date of the first unpaid premium.

If the policyholder does not reinstate the Policy within the period

allowed for reinstatement, the Policy shall be terminated on the

completion of the period allowed for reinstatement and no benefits

shall be payable.

• If Policy has acquired a Surrender Value:

The policy acquires a surrender value after the payment of one

Annualised

Premium. If policyholder does not pay the due premiums within the

Grace

Period, the Policy shall be converted into paid up, with effect from the

date of

such unpaid premium (‘lapse date’). Policyholder will get two (2)

years to

Reinstate the Policy from the date of the first unpaid premium.

If the policyholder does not reinstate the Policy or surrender the Policy

within the period allowed for reinstatement, the Policy shall

continue in paid up status and the paid up value as on the date the

policy becomes Paid Up, shall be payable either on death or on

maturity of the policy.

If the policyholder reinstates the policy during the reinstatement

period then all benefits will be reinstated.

Loans under Policy:

Financial burdens cannot be predicted and may arise at any time.

Hence this

Policy offers you the flexibility to take a loan from the Company. This

is only

possible if all your premiums due under the Policy are paid and the

Policy has

acquired Surrender Value. The maximum amount of loan will not

exceed 70%

of the acquired Surrender Value. The loans given under the Policy are

as per

the Policy provisions.

Reinstatement:

You have a flexibility to reinstate all the benefits under your policy

within two years if your policy has lapsed or is in paid up status after

the due date of the premium in default. However, the Company would

require:

a) A written application from you for reinstatement;

b) Satisfactory evidence of insurability;

c) Payment of all overdue premiums with interest as specified by

company

from time to time.

Reduced Paid up Value:

If the policy has acquired a Surrender Value and has thereafter lapsed

due to

any reasons then the policy will be converted into paid up. Once the

policy

becomes paid up, the base benefits shall be reduced to a paid up

value.

The Policy shall cease to participate in any future bonuses (if any)

that may

be declared by the Company. The Policyholder shall be entitled to

Paid Up

Value as on the date the policy becomes Paid Up and this will be paid

either

on death or on maturity of the policy as applicable. The Guaranteed

Annual

Payouts will be calculated on the Paid Up value on maturity. In

case of

surrender of a paid up policy, the surrender value will be as per

policy

provisions.

Paid up value on Maturity = Number of Premiums paid X Sum Assured on Maturity

Premium Payment Term

Paid up value on Death = Number of Premiums paid X Sum Assured on death

Premium Payment Term

In Case of Death or Maturity, Paid up value as shown above will be paid

to the nominee/policyholder

In case of a paid up policy, the benefits payable on Surrender

will be calculated

Can I surrender my policy? We would want you to pay premiums regularly till the end of Premium

Payment

Term and stay invested till maturity to get maximum benefits under the

policy.

However incase you are not able to pay all premiums and want to

exit the

policy earlier then only surrender value (if acquired) will be payable to

you.

Annualised Premium. Guaranteed Surrender Value is calculated as a

percentage of all premiums paid excluding any extra premium.

Provides a guaranteed monthly income after the completion of

the Premium Payment Term, provided the policy is in force.

What happens, if I am unable to pay premiums?

While we recommend that all your premiums be paid on the

respective due

dates, we also understand that sudden changes in lifestyle like

increased

responsibilities or unexpected increase in household expenses may

affect

your future ability to pay premiums. You have following flexibilities in

order to

ensure that your benefits under the policy continue in full or par t form.

■ Grace period:Grace period is the period given to you from your premium due

date, to pay the premium without any impact on the benefits in

your policy. Grace Period for all modes is 30 days.

■ LapsationIf policy has not acquired a Surrender Value

In case you do not pay the premiums within your grace period, your

policy

will lapse and your insurance cover will cease to exist. You have

the

option to reinstate the policy within the period given for

reinstatement of

the policy. At the end of the reinstatement period if the policy is

not

reinstated then the policy will be terminated and no benefits will be

payable.

If policy has acquired a Surrender Value

In case you do not pay the premiums within your grace period, your

policy

will be conver ted into paid up. You have the option to reinstate the

policy or surrender the policy within the period given for

reinstatement of

the policy. At the end of the reinstatement period if the policy is

not

reinstated or surrendered then the policy will continue in paid up

status

and the paid up value will be payable either on death or on maturity

of

the policy.

In case of the unfortunate death of the Life Insured,

the nominee is eligible to receive the Death Benefit

■ Reduced Paid up Value:If your policy has acquired a surrender value and your policy has

lapsed due to any reason, then your policy will be conver ted into

„paid up‟. Once your policy is conver ted into paid up, all benefits

will be reduced. The

Guaranteed Income Benefit will be reduced as per the policy

provision. The reduced Guaranteed Income Benefit will be paid on

an annual basis only. On Maturity or in case of death of the Life

Insured, reduced paid up value will be payable. In case of surrender

of a paid up policy, the

surrender value will be as per policy provisions.

■ ReinstatementYou have a flexibility to reinstate all the benefits under your policy within two years (subject to policy term) after the due date of the premium in default. However, the Company would require:

a) A written application from you for reinstatement;

b) Satisfactor y evidence of insurability;

c) Payment of all overdue premiums with interest as specified

by the

company from time to time;

In case of reinstatement of a paid up policy, the differential

amount of

guaranteed income due (i.e. guaranteed income calculated on

the full

Sum Assured less the reduced guaranteed income already paid),

if

applicable, shall be paid to the policyholder as a lump sum.

Can I surrender my policy? We would want you to pay premiums regularly and stay invested till Maturity to get maximum benefits under the policy. However in case you are not able to pay all premiums and want to exit the policy earlier then only surrender value will be payable to you.

Surrender Value For policy term of 15 and 17 years, your policy will acquire surrender value only if two annual premiums are paid. While for the 20 years policy term, your policy will acquire surrender value only if three annual premiums are paid.

The guaranteed Surrender Value is defined as a percentage of all premiums paid excluding any extra premium. The minimum guaranteed surrender value will be as per the table below

How does the policy help me in case of a financial crunch?

Loans under policy:

Financial burdens cannot be predicted and may arise at any time.

Thus this policy gives flexibility to take loan from the company. This is

only possible if your policy is in force and has acquired surrender

value. The loans given under the policy are as per provisions under

the policy. Maximum loan

amount will not exceed 70% of Surrender Value.

Do I get the flexibility to enhance my protection through additional features?

Yes. To enhance your protection, you may customize your policy by opting for the following rider by paying extra premiums:

Hospital Cash Rider

This rider allows payment of a fixed benefit for each day of

hospitalization

and also provides lump sum benefit in case of surger y. UIN:
