Life Insurance
Under Life Insurance, the highly popular insurance products are: Endowment Assurance (Participating) and Money Back (Participating). More than 80% of the life insurance business is derived from these products.
General Insurance:
Under General (Non-Life) Insurance, Fire and Miscellaneous insurance businesses are predominant. Motor Vehicle insurance is compulsory under Indian Law. Tariff Advisory Committee (TAC) lays down tariff rates for some of the general insurance products. In India, Health Insurance is placed under General Insurance category. Till date the penetration of Health Insurance in India has been miniscule and is in the process of making a bigger impact amongst Indian masses.
