In the pre-reform era, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) dominated the Indian life insurance market with a market share close to 100 percent. But the situation drastically changed since the enactment of the IRDA Act in 1999. At the end of the FY 2012-13, the market share of LICI stood at around 73 percent with the number of players having risen to 24 in the countrys life insurance sector. One of the reasons for such a decline in the market share of LICI during the post-reform period could be attributed to the increasing competition prevailing in the countrys life insurance sector. At the same time, the liberalization of the life insurance sector for private participation has eventually raised issues about ensuring sound financial performance and solvency of the life insurance companies besides protection of the interest of policyholders. The present study is an attempt to evaluate and compare the financial performances, solvency, and the market concentration of the four leading life insurers in India namely the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI), ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited (ICICI PruLife), HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited (HDFC Standard), and SBI Life Insurance Company Limited (SBI Life), over a span of five successive FYs 2008-09 to 2012-13. In this regard, the CARAMELS model has been used to evaluate the performances of the selected life insurers, based on the Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) as published by IMF. In addition to this, the Solvency and the Market Concentration Analyses were also presented for the selected life insurers for the given period. The present study revealed the preexisting dominance of LICI even after 15 years since the privatization of the countrys life insurance sector.

This article aims to review the implementation of Fatwa No. 21 / DSN-MUI / X / 2001 concerning General Guidelines for Sharia Insurance in Insurance Institutions. Sharia life insurance is a type of life insurance whose application is based on the provisions of Islam. PT. Prudential Life Assurance is a sharia life insurance company. In carrying out its activities to develop customer funds, PT. Prudential Life Assurance invests. In practice, the investment and insurance percentage determination is carried out unilaterally by the agent. Determining the percentage of this investment will affect customers' cash value claims that do not match the illustration. More specifically, in this connection, the author will analyze two aspects. First, the analysis of Fatwa No.21 / DSN-MUI / X / 2001 regarding the General Guidelines for Islamic Insurance on the implementation of the investment system at PT. Prudential Life Assurance Ponorogo Branch? Second, the analysis of Fatwa No.21 / DSN-MUI / X / 2001 regarding the General Guidelines for Islamic Insurance on the payment of cash value claims for customers at PT. Prudential Life Assurance Ponorogo Branch? The author's type of research is field research using qualitative methods, while the data collection techniques used are interviews and documentation. The analysis used uses the deductive method, namely a discussion that begins with presenting arguments, theories or provisions that are general and then put forward a specific fact. From this research, it can be concluded that the implementation of the investment system at PT. Prudential Life Assurance at the Ponorogo branch is only limited to administration. Where the agent determines the percentage of insurance and investment unilaterally to get a hefty fee, this is not following the DSN fatwa No.21 / DSN-MUI / X / 2001, which reads "investment must be made under sharia." Meanwhile, regarding the payment of cash value claims from customers that do not match the illustration, it follows the DSN fatwa No.21 / DSN-MUI / X / 2001, which reads "different claims in the amount according to the premium paid."Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implementasi Fatwa No. 21/DSN-MUI/X/2001 tentang Pedoman Umum Asuransi Syariah Pada Lembaga Perasuransian. Asuransi jiwa syariah adalah jenis asuransi jiwa yang penerapannya berdasarkan ketentuan Islam. PT. Prudential Life Assurance adalah perusahaan asuransi jiwa syariah. Dalam menjalankan kegiatannya untuk mengembangkan dana nasabah, PT. Prudential Life Assurance berinvestasi. Dalam praktiknya, penentuan persentase investasi dan asuransi dilakukan secara sepihak oleh agen. Penetapan persentase investasi ini akan mempengaruhi klaim nilai tunai nasabah yang tidak sesuai dengan ilustrasi. Lebih khusus lagi, dalam hubungan ini, penulis akan menganalisis dua aspek. Pertama, analisis Fatwa No.21/DSN-MUI/X/2001 tentang Pedoman Umum Asuransi Syariah Tentang Penerapan Sistem Investasi Pada PT. Prudential Life Assurance Cabang Ponorogo? Kedua, Analisis Fatwa No.21/DSN-MUI/X/2001 tentang Pedoman Umum Asuransi Syariah Tentang Pembayaran Klaim Nilai Tunai Bagi Nasabah Pada PT. Prudential Life Assurance Cabang Ponorogo? Jenis penelitian penulis adalah penelitian lapangan dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, sedangkan teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara dan dokumentasi. Analisis yang digunakan menggunakan metode deduktif, yaitu pembahasan yang diawali dengan mengemukakan argumentasi, teori atau ketentuan yang bersifat umum kemudian dikemukakan suatu fakta yang spesifik. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan sistem investasi pada PT. Prudential Life Assurance di cabang Ponorogo hanya sebatas administrasi. Dimana agen menentukan persentase asuransi dan investasi secara sepihak untuk mendapatkan fee yang besar, hal ini tidak sesuai dengan fatwa DSN No.21/DSN-MUI/X/2001 yang berbunyi “investasi harus dilakukan secara syariah”. Sedangkan mengenai pembayaran klaim nilai tunai dari nasabah yang tidak sesuai dengan ilustrasi, mengikuti fatwa DSN No.21/DSN-MUI/X/2001 yang berbunyi “beda klaim besarnya sesuai dengan premi yang dibayarkan”.

Life insurance is a very important segment of the economy of most countries as demonstrated by the investments, premium revenue and numbers employed. Hence, it is paramount to determine accurately how well life insurance companies (LICs) perform and how viable they are for the benefit of both other industries and national economies.Three papers that investigate LIC efficiency directly analyze how efficiency affects LIC profits. One critical feature is that they show that the inefficiency of LICs can greatly affect their (financial) outcome and ultimately their survivorship. Thus, said research clearly indicates that life insurer efficiency is a crucial area to investigate and assess and that it could greatly enhance the ability to properly monitor and inspect the life insurers.This article co-ordinates information regarding life insurance efficiency studies to help researchers learn which approaches, methods and output/input proxies to use. While some papers do so for some of the aspects that are important and necessary for life insurance efficiency studies, this is the first to deal with said aspects together. More specifically, this paper especially considers and evaluates the different methods and output proxies used in life insurance efficiency studies, as they seem to be the elements where the most disagreement exists between researchers. In addition, this article is unique in examining how input (proxy) prices are used in life insurance efficiency studies.

Financial Condition

The purpose of insurance is to accumulate funds to fulfill obligations to its clients, as well as to invest further in the expansion of insurance activities and the development of the country's economy. The success of insurance companies depends to a large extent on their financial status, that is, financial stability and solvency. The financial condition of an insurance company is characterized by the indicators that describe its ability to develop and successfully operate in a competitive market environment. The stable financial condition of the insurer is a guarantee of development in the conditions of the market economy and an insurance of the stability of the development of the insurance market in the country. The purpose of this research is to assess the financial stability of a non-life insurance company and to analyze the main factors affecting it with the use of computer simulation modelling. The simulation model covers the main processes of the non-life insurance company and is based on the application of financial analysis methods, economic and mathematical methods, and modern simulation technologies. Based on the simulation model, the financial stability of the insurance company is assessed, namely the analysis of the insurance company’s profitability, income, expenses, indicators of profitability; the coefficients of financial stability of the insurance fund and the level of insurance reserves for the analysis of the adequacy of the insurance fund are calculated; the actual and normative solvency margin is calculated for controlling the fulfillment of solvency conditions; the solvency ratio (autonomy) is calculated; the equity ratio is calculated and an analysis of the adequacy of equity is carried out. The developed simulation model can be used to increase the level of planning and analytical reporting, to improve methods of conducting insurance operations, to plan and forecast the activity, and to increase the validity of managerial decisions.
