WHAT IS LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance is a contract that pledges payment of an amount to the person assured (or his nominee) on the happening of the event insured against. The contract is valid for payment of the insured amount during the date of maturity or specified date at periodical intervals or unfortunate death, if it occurs earlier.
HISTORY OF LIFE INSURANCE
Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company, started by Europeans in Calcutta, was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil.
Later, the foreign life insurance companies started insuring Indian lives.
Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance company in the year 1870.
Bharat Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by nationalism.
The United India in Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and the Co-operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906.
In the year 1912, the Life Insurance Companies Act, and the Provident Fund Act were passed.
Insurance Act 1938 was the first legislation governing not only life insurance but also non-life insurance to provide strict state control over insurance business.

75 Provident were operating in India at the time of nationalization.
The Parliament of India passed the Life Insurance Corporation Act on 19th June 1956 and the Life Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st September 1956, with the objective of spreading life insurance much more widely and in particular to the rural areas to reach all insurable persons in the country, providing them adequate financial cover at a reasonable cost.
