It is quite impracticable to devise an equitable mode of winding-up an insolvent life insurance company (5).A company being found to be insolvent, what is to be done with it ?… The actuaries have unanimously recommended a reduction of the sums assured, the same premiums being paid, but the lawyers have agreed that this is impracticable … The actuaries are able to take a much higher view; they need not consider what is the law, but what is most consistent with real and substantial justice to all parties. In fact, we may sum it up by saying that the courts of this country are not courts of justice but courts of law (4).[In relation to a method of treating insolvent life insurance companies as a closed fund] Its simplicity, and the entire absence of opportunity for the kind of deception and fraud usually committed by those who manipulate the assets of insolvent companies, are its most striking merits, and are certainly merits of a high order (1).

The job of Human Resources is changing as quick as innovation and the worldwide commercial center. Generally, the HR Department was seen as organization, kept individual documents and different records, dealt with the enlisting procedure, and gave other authoritative help to the business. Those circumstances are different. The positive consequence of these progressions is that HR experts have the chance to assume a progressively vital job in the business. The test for HR chiefs is to stay up with the latest with the most recent HR developments—mechanical, lawful, and something else.

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.
