Abstract

There is more to life insurance than meets the eye. Mobilizing resources for development is important but ensuring the safety of citizens is even more crucial. It bridges the gap between now and then. India now has one of the world's most rapidly expanding economies. It has broken into the top ten economies in the world in terms of GDP and is now the third biggest economy in Asia. In the fiscal years of 2010 and 2011, the service sector contributed 9.30% to GDP growth. The insurance sector in India is experiencing developments that are affecting the market, similar to other parts of the world. The insurance sector places a significant focus on expansion. India's life insurance market has experienced multiple changes in the past decade. Insurers are now confronted with a new challenge due to the economic changes resulting from liberalization, privatization, and globalization. To meet its clients' needs and wishes, it must enhance its competitiveness. India's life insurance sector offers a substantial opportunity for both domestic and international investors, given the country's large population and substantial untapped market. Operational changes, like selling new policies, hiring agents, paying agent commissions, and assessing maturity value, have impacted the profitability of life insurance companies. Private sector companies have had greater growth in their insurance operations compared to public sector entities.
