What is insurance?
Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss. It is a form of risk
management, primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent
or uncertain loss.An entity which provides insurance is known as an
insurer, insurance company, insurance carrier or underwriter. A person
or entity who buys insurance is known as an insured or as a
policyholder. The insurance transaction involves the insured assuming a
Life insurance can help you support your family even after retirement.
Depending on what it covers, Life insurance can be classified into
various types:
- Unlike a term plan, you get the maturity proceeds after the term
period.
- After the expiry of the term, you get the balance amount as
maturity proceeds.
- Your family gets the entire sum assured in case of death during
the policy period. This is regardless of the survival benefit payments
made.
- In the case of your death, your family can claim the sum assured.
Tax Benefits
Life insurance not only ensures the well-being of your family, it also
brings tax benefits.
The amount you pay as premium can be deducted from your total
taxable income.
The premium amount used for tax deduction should not exceed 10% of
the sum assured.
What is a general insurance?.
A general insurance is a contract that offers financial compensation on
any loss other than death. It insures everything apart from life. A
general insurance compensates you for financial loss due to liabilities
related to your house, car, bike, health, travel, etc. The insurance
company promises to pay you a sum assured to cover damages to your
vehicle, medical treatments to cure health problems, losses due to
theft or fire, or even financial problems during travel.
Simply put, a general insurance offers financial protection for all your
assets against loss, damage, theft, and other liabilities. It is different
from life insurance.
But, things don’t go as planned and you meet with an accident there.
You cannot stop celebrating your new car. You hit the roads with
your latest possession.
Everything goes well until a car suddenly tries to overtake you. It leaves
huge dents and dislocates your left mirror. Your daughter wants to
become a pilot.
HOW?
It paid for the expenses related to your accident. You could, thus, go
ahead and surprise your partner with a diamond ring without worrying
about the treatment costs. The dent in your car didn’t cause a dent in
your pocket.
Your motor insurance’ own damage cover paid for your car’s damages
caused by the accident. In fact, the insurer settled the bill directly at the
garage. You didn’t face a dilemma of choosing one over the other
and compromise your daughter’s future. Your health insurance took
care of your treatment costs. Your savings, thus, remained unaffected
by your sudden illness.
As you can see, General Insurance can be the answer to life’s various
problems. But, for that, you need to select the right insurances from
the myriad ones available.
What are the types of General Insurance available? / What
all can be insured?
You can get almost anything and everything insured. But there are five
key types available:
Health Insurance
Motor Insurance

treatment of injuries caused due to accidents and mishaps.

What is an Actuary?
An actuary is a business professional who analyzes the financial
consequences of risk. Actuaries use mathematics, statistics, and
financial theory to study uncertain future events, especially those of
concern to insurance and pension programs. Actuaries may work for
insurance companies, consulting firms, government, employee benefits
departments of large corporations, hospitals, banks and investment
firms, or, more generally, in businesses that need to manage financial
risk. A career as an Actuary is better described as a "business" career
with a mathematical basis than as a "technical" mathematical career.
What is actuary?
An actuary deals with the business of insurance and is responsible for
many areas under the broad category of insurance. The actuary is an
individual who will analyze important data such as mortality, sickness,
injury and disability rates and use that information to aid those
involved with insurance.
4 Resposibilities of actuary.
1. Compiling and Reviewing Statistical Data
This is the first and the most important responsibility of the actuary.
Actuaries gather data on mortality, sickness, accidents, disability and
retirement within their community, as well as any other data that may
be relevant to their employer. They plug those variables into advanced
statisticual models to calculate how those variables would affect the
insurance beneficiaries in the future. The data that is produced is fairly
reliable.
