The era of privatization, liberalization deregulation and globalization has let loose of sense of urgency and neo activism. Indian economy and industry has undergone significant transformation since 1991- moving away from state controlled to a competitive market economy. The most remarkable of this transformation has been noted in the financial sector, particularly, in the Indian Insurance Industry which has opened up to all competitors- integrating financial services to the global economy. Indian politico-economic think tank released the obsolescence of remaining insular and monopolistic in the insurance sector. IRDA was established in 1999 to protect the interest of policyholders for promoting and ensuring orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters connected therewith and also to amend the Insurance Act 1938, LIC Act 1956 and G.I. Business Act 1972. Under IRDA Act, 1999, Indian Insurance company means, any insurer being a company which is formed and registered under the companies Act, 1956. Opportunities to produce value in insurance services can be found in innovative insurance and related product designs by eliminating inefficiencies in marketing, producing and delivering these products.
