INTRODUCTION
a comprehensive set of regulations was put in place to stem this problem (see Table 1). By 1956, there were 154 Indian insurance companies, 16 non-Indian insurance companies and 75 provident societies that were issuing life insurance policies. Most of these policies were cantered in the cities (especially around big cities like Bombay, Calcutta, Delhi and Madras). In 1956, the then finance minister S. D. Deshmukh announced nationalization of the life insurance business.
Monopoly Raj
The nationalization of life insurance was justified mainly on three counts. (1) It was perceived that private companies would not promote insurance in rural areas. (2) The Government would be in a better position to channel resources for saving and investment by taking over the business of life insurance. (3) Bankruptcies of life insurance companies had become a big problem (at the time of takeover, 25 insurance companies were already bankrupt and another 25 were on the verge of bankruptcy). The experience of the next four decades would temper these views.

LITRATURE REVIEW
Insurance Market- Present:
The insurance sector was opened up for private participation four years ago. For years now, the private players are active in the liberalized environment. The insurance market have witnessed dynamic changes which includes presence of a fairly large number of insurers both life and non-life segment. Most of the private insurance companies have formed joint venture partnering well recognized foreign players across the globe.
There are now 29 insurance companies operating in the Indian market 14 private life insurers, nine private non-life insurers and six public sector companies. With many more joint ventures in the offing, the insurance industry in India today stands at a crossroads as competition intensifies and companies prepare survival strategies in scenario.
There is pressure from both within the country and outside on the Government to increase the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) limit from the current 26% to 49%, which would help JV partners to bring in funds for expansion.
There are opportunities in the pensions sector where regulations are being framed. Less than 10 % of Indians above the age of 60 receive pensions. The IRDA has issued the first license for a standalone health company in the country as many more players wait to enter. The health insurance sector has tremendous growth potential, and as it matures and new players enter, product innovation and enhancement will increase. The deepening of the health database over time will also allow players to develop and price products for larger segments of society.
State Insurers Continue To Dominate : There may be room for many more
players in a large underinsured market like India with a population of over one billion. But the reality is that the intense competition in the last five years has made it difficult for new entrants to keep pace with the leaders and thereby failing to make any impact in the market.
12
Also as the private sector controls over 26.18% of the life insurance market and over 26.53% of the non-life market, the public sector companies still call the shots.
The countrys largest life insurer, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), had a share of 74.82% in new business premium income in November 2005.
Similarly, the four public-sector non-life insurers New India Assurance, National Insurance, Oriental Insurance and United India Insurance had a combined market share of 73.47% as of October 2005. ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company continues to lead the private sector with a 7.26% market share in terms of fresh premium, whereas ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company is the leader among the private non-life players with a 8.11% market share. ICICI Lombard has focused on growing the market for general insurance products and increasing penetration within existing customers through product innovation and distribution.
industry is changing with the introduction of large number of divergent intermediaries such as brokers, corporate agents, and bancassurance.
The industry now deals with customers who know what they want and when, and are more demanding in terms of better service and speedier responses. With the industry all set to move to a detariffed regime by 2007, there will be considerable improvement in customer service levels, product innovation and newer standards of underwriting.
The battle has so far been fought in the big urban cities, but in the next few years, increased competition will drive insurers to rural and semi-urban markets.
13
Global Standards: While the world is eyeing India for growth and expansion, Indian
companies are becoming increasingly world class. Take the case of LIC, which has set its sight on becoming a major global player following a Rs280-crore investment from the Indian government. The company now operates in Mauritius, Fiji, the UK, Sri Lanka, and Nepal and will soon start operations in Saudi Arabia. It also plans to venture into the African and Asia-Pacific regions in 2006.
The year 2005 was a testing phase for the general insurance industry with a series of catastrophes hitting the Indian sub-continent.
However, with robust reinsurance programs in place, insurers have successfully managed to tide over the crisis without any adverse impact on their balance sheets.
With life insurance premiums being just 2.5% of GDP and general insurance premiums being 0.65% of GDP, the opportunities in the Indian market place is immense. The next five years will be challenging but those that can build scale and market share will survive and prosper.

SWOT ANALYSIS
The SWOT analysis of Insurance sector is as follows:-
1. Strength- Very good policies of life coverage. 2. Weaknesses :-unable to convince the people about the products. There are not
much advisors for the insurance companies
3. Oppourtunities :-Untapped rural sector and small towns 4. Threats :-growing competition from larger MNC's.

Going Concern
As a consequence of the Companys considerable financial resources, the directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic outlook.

The Company participates in the Aviva Groups centralized treasury arrangements and so shares banking arrangements with fellow subsidiaries. The directors, having assessed the responses of the directors of a fellow group company, Aviva International Insurance Limited, which maintains the centralized arrangement, have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast doubt about the ability to continue with the current banking arrangements.

DATA REPRESENTATION
Their IFRS earnings per share were 37.8 pence). . Economic and investment return assumptions during the year were in line with our long-term expectations with a positive variance of 77 million
49
Debt equity ratio is also saying that it improved a lot from the year 2008 mid till 2012 but after that because of return the have faced the slowdown.
50
Quick Ratio
Quick ratio shows also decline position it means that the ability to change current assets into money or liquidate power is declining because of market trends. The liquid assets are very few and they are not utilizing properly. As market down in year 2008 so its speedily declined after year 2009 its slowly recovered but in the year 2011 and 2012 it was stagnant.
51
Current Ratio
The difference of current assets and current liabilities shows that ratio. As it shows that if working capital is high so liquidity of business is respectively high. By this graph I can understand the financial position of the company like in the year 2011 the ratio shows the good position but because of market slowdown its fluctuating and after 2011 it become stable. That shows that company is recovering its financial position.
52
In every graph we can see that position was very fluctuating of the company, it is because market slowdown. In this graph I can say that company is trying to recover the losses by reducing the indirect expenses. As in the year 2008 and 2009 the position was little bit stable then other year.
53
Operating profit per share is decline very speedily, it is because after slowdown it become tough to survive in that position and to overcome from this situation they need fund and the company can adjust fund only by reducing expense and taking help by bank or its shareholders. So here because of expense operating profit reduce per share till the year 2012.
54

Because during the recession they faced very bad condition but as Indias condition will improve they will also improve. As company is trying to reduce its expenses for earning good profit.
55
Finding
By this project I found that company position is not that much good right
now because of slowdown in year 20011-12 and that impacted a lot on companys ratio. The ratio like Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Earning par share, Return on
Capital Employed or Shareholder Funds, Operating Profit, Net Profit Margin and Debt- Equity Ratio are in decline position.
These ratios show that company is not utilizing its fund properly and the
By this project I found that the operating expenses are very high due to
I found that if company will focus on its liabilities so they can overcome
The credit rating that the company got in year 2205 was very good. But
after that recession it changed, here credit rating play very important role because almost 60% investors invest their money on the basis of goodwill or credit rating that a company hold in the market.
56
