LETTER TO NIRMALASITHARAMAN REGARDING AGENTS DEMENDS

LIAFI-SG/CG-070/14                                                                                                                       22 August 2014
Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman,
Misnister of State for Finance,
Camp Visakhapatnam

Respected Madam,
Sub: Issues concerning LIC Agents-reg.
We are representing around 11 lakh LIC Agents off our Country. We have issues to be addressed by the Ministry of Finance. The previous Government could not find solution to the following issues.
Gratuity: LIC recommended to GOI for enhancing gratuity of LIC Agents from Rs. 2 Lakh to Rs. 3 Lakhs. The decision is pending with Ministry of Finance since two years. Kindly expedite the enhancement.
Professional Recognition: Though we are also professionals, we are not recognised by GOI like Engineers, Doctors, Advocates, and Chartered Accountants etc. Many state Governments are forcibly collecting Professional Tax from us with out any recognition. We request you to recognise Insurance Agents (including Private) as professionals.
Welfare Fund: Agents are not covered under any welfare measures. The Management refused to earmark Rs. 100 Cr.  one time for Welfare Fund. This refusal was tabled in Parliament when a Private Member raised this issue. We request you to create Welfare Fund   for Agents.
We hope you will bestow special attention to solve these issues.
Thanking you,
Sincerely yours,
For Life Insurance Agents’ Federation of India

letter to SKRoy lic chairman

LIAFI-SG/CO-067/14                                                                                                    18 August 2014
Shri. S.K. Roy,
Chairman, L.I.C. of India, Central Office,
“Yogakshema”, Jeevan Bima Marg,
P.B. NO-19953,MUMBAI-400 021

Dear Sir,
Sub: Jeevan Rakshak (Plan No. 827)

After 6  & 1/2 months gap LIC could release the cited Plan. Though this plan caters to the needs of low-income group people, the returns are not assured. This plan is eligible for only Loyalty Addition that too after completion of fifth policy year.  It is unfortunate that bonus is not announced.

We feel that the management is reducing commission to Agent slowly and gradually. The Agents’ commission is reduced in half of the policies introduced from 1 January 2014.  Austerity measures effected in case of Agents only by making them scapegoats.   Though IRDA was kind to declare good commission rates for Agents, instead of implementing them the Management is curtailing commission rates.  

Our Agents are not at all happy at the meager or nil returns to policyholders and less commission to Agents.  We request you not to bulldoze Plans without good returns to policyholders and good commission rates to Agents. Though LIC failed to bring in no of Plans by 1 January 2014, we are trying our best to keep the LIC Flag high. Unless the policyholder and the Agent are satisfied, any plan cannot be successful.  

Thanking you,
Sincerely yours,
For Life Insurance Agents Federation of India

letter to Sri arun jetly finance minister

20-08-2014
To
Shri. Arun Jaitley
Union Minister for Finance & Defence
Govt. of India, New Delhi
Hon’ble Sir,
Re. :- Varishtha Pension Yojna
We have come across an advertisement issued by the LIC announcing the
prelaunch of Varishtha Pension Yojna for the period 15th Aug. 2014 to 14th Aug. 2015,
which in the new package announces 9% effective yield per annum for monthly pension
(which is equivalent to 9.38 per annum)
While we are happy that the government is committed to the welfare of the senior
citizens of the country, I recall that even the earlier similar scheme which was launched
in the Mumbai in Jan. 2003 in the presence of Shri. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Prime
Minister of India though physically at Delhi with great fanfare it was hailed as a great
breakthrough in terms of benefits and interest in comparing better then the prevalent
bank rate. I am constraint to compare the above scheme with the present Varishtha
Bima Yojna and find that the new scheme is certainly very backward step in terms of
benefits and yield to senior citizens.
The needs of senior citizens and pensioner are a far wider concept today
particularly in view of the emerging trends in pensioner products since there are vastly
changed positive announcements being regularly made by the present government. As
far as LIC is concern there level of servicing is far better than the similar products being
sold by private insurers. Even the services given by bank cannot be compare with our
servicing. In order to make it attractive the returns should be a minimum of 9.8 to 10 %.
Unless it is done immediately pensioners will not invest their hard earned money.
Besides, No advertisement should be published for this products wasting the public
money they should instead, trained agents which will be more beneficial involving lesser
cost. Similarly there should no hassle at the time of policyholders getting money either
by redemption or exit at present withdrawal is not smooth in LIC of India.
Even a cursory look at the advertisement release by LIC does not give a very
positive picture about assured return or the payment period or at the time of demise of
pensioner when nominee faces all sorts of difficulties. Though it is claimed that this is
government scheme is greatly subsidized with the LIC is the exclusive administrative
but it is likely to flop if view points of agents are not heard and responded immediately.
Yours faithfully
(H. M. JAIN)

the FDI limit in the insurance sector to 49 percent is expected to benefit the companies first and consumers later.


he Cabinet's approval to increase the FDI limit in the insurance sector to 49 percent is expected to benefit the companies first and consumers later.
Experts said that the move will bring the much needed long-term capital into the companies, but it will take time for them to introduce newer products and services for the consumer.
The increase in the limit has come with a rider that the management control will remain in the hands of Indian promoters. The amendment to the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill will now be taken up in Parliament.
According to KPMG, the higher cap could fetch investments up to Rs 25,000 crore.
"Once there is proper clarity on the interpretation of control by Indian promoter, the additional foreign capital expected across life, health and general insurance companies is between Rs 20,000 to 25,000 crores," Shashwat Sharma, KPMG (India) Partner, said.
Welcoming the government's move Kshitij Jain, MD & CEO, Exide Life Insurance, said the Indian private life insurance companies have in the last 12 years received over Rs 34,000 crores of capital.
The capital requirement to fuel growth over the next 5-10 years will be as much or more, he said.
"With an increase in the limit, the insurance industry expects to get not only the capital but also technical and product expertise of foreign partners. FDI in insurance would also increase the penetration of insurance in India, where the penetration of insurance is abysmally low," Jain said.
The insurance sector was opened up for private sector in 2000 after the enactment of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999.
This Act permitted foreign shareholding in insurance companies to the extent of 26 per cent with an aim to provide better insurance coverage and to augment the flow of long-term resources for financing infrastructure.
However, as the companies expanded their capital requirement also increased. Lack of funds has limited the ability of these companies to increase the insurance penetration in the country.
Deepak Yohannan, CEO, MyInsuranceClub.com, says that the companies will now be able to spend on product innovation and providing better services.
"Though there is no direct correlation in FDI capital inflow to end consumer, in the long run, consumers will benefit with better products and service. Companies will have more capital for improving technology, innovation, processes and training of agents -- the things they could not do due to limited capital earlier," he said.
He, however, expects such benefits for consumers to come in only in the long run.
Yashish Dahiya, co-founder and CEO, Policybazaar.com, concurs that the companies should now be able improve their product offerings.
"I am expecting better quality products to come into insurance space, with more capital coming in," he said.
However, a section of the experts also had a word of caution for the companies.
“Many international insurance companies will enter India, after all we not only have more volumes but also growth potential. This means, there will be another bout of increased competition among players, due to which companies will face margin pressures," Rahul Aggarwal, CEO, Optima Insurance Brokers told Firstbiz.
But that is just a concern in the long term. As of now, there is enough scope for growth for all the companies because, as Jain of Exide Life Insurance says, penetration of insurance in the country is abysmally low. According to him, insurance premium is at about 3 percent of the GDP as against the global average of about 8 percent.
That is the reason the companies are so bullish about this decision. They expect more multinational companies to flock to India to tap this potential.
All in all, it is advantage insurance companies first. Consumers will have to wait a little longer for the benefits.
