Organizational Profile

Background of Delta life insurance: Delta Life Insurance Co. Ltd. established mainly through the initiative of a group of Bangladeshi professionals then working abroad along with a few enthusiastic local entrepreneurs, started its operation in December, 1986 after the Government of Bangladesh allowed the private sector to operate in the insurance sector in 1984 to carry on the business of insurance in the Private Sector.

A brief explanation as to the growth of life insurance business in Bangladesh is in order here. Bangladesh declared independence from the Pakistani rules on March 26, 1971 following which she had to witness a bloody liberation struggle with the occupation forces lasting for 9 months before they were defeated. Insurance business which was exclusively carried on in private sector before independence was nationalized after liberation in 1972 primarily to address the emerging situation of eroding public confidence in the industry that was left staggeringly short of resources in the face of huge losses caused by the war of liberation. After a series of experimentation, a state-owned body, namely Jiban Bima Corporation (JBC), established in May, 1973 for transacting the life insurance business, took over the assets and liabilities under life portfolios of all erstwhile private insurance companies and started business in its own name. However, things did not improve; rather, in many respects became more exacerbating and the Government then thought it better to allow private sector participation in insurance business. Since inception, Delta Life set before itself a high standard of all round performance coextensive with professional soundness and proficiency. It soon made a mark in the life insurance arena by not only being the leader among the private sector indigenous companies, but by undertaking and successfully implementing innovative and welfare oriented life insurance schemes. It introduced an array of conventional life and group insurance products - many of which were the first in Bangladesh. For the first time, health insurance products were also introduced by Delta Life. But more importantly, in fulfillment of the avowed commitment towards social development, Delta Life for the first time not only in Bangladesh but probably in the World, devised and introduced micro-life insurance-cum-savings products specially suited to the needs and pockets of poor people of the country who constitute more than 80% of the people of Bangladesh. Two projects of the company namely Grameen Bima for the rural people and Gono Bima for the poor and marginal savers of the urban areas were initiated to devote

www.AssignmentPoint.com

themselves exclusively to marketing and management of these innovative products. We are happy to report that we have achieved a good measure of success although there is a long way to go. These schemes that we have introduced have created great stir and enthusiasm among the general mass who, before these projects started functioning, could not even dream of owning a policy that provides the much needed life insurance coverage along with facility of regular savings on a long-term basis. At a later stage i.e. in the year 2002, the projects were merged into a division of Delta Life, namely, Gono-Grameen Bima Division. The GNGRB Division has been growing at a first rate of more than 25% p.a. for the last couple of the years and is poised to maintain this growth rate at least in the next five years or so. Delta Life can take pride in moulding the saving habits of the lower and middle class people and transforming them into prospective policyholders. The potential is now so strongly perceived that all life insurance companies - old and new alike - operating in the country have started own micro insurance products.

Internship Duties & Responsibilities

Internship Duties and Responsibilities: I have tried my level best to utilize the time. The time, which I spent to make the report, are given below.  Head office and ordinary life Accounts  Gono-Grameen Bima Accounts

Internship Position and Duties: I have joined in Delta life Insurance company Limited as an internee on 8 th March 2009. My internship period was three months (From8 th March to 8th june) and these three months I worked in the corporate head office of the company which is located at the motijheel. In my internship period I tried to learn several functions from different departments of the company. But as my major subject is finance so I gave much emphasizes on learning Finance & Accounting related tasks. The Finance & Accounts department of Delta life insurance company Limited is a wide area & the rage of the tasks is also large .So it was not possible for me to practically learn all the tasks within the limited internship program duration (Three months). However, below I mentioned my work experiences. I have stated my duty from Head office Accounts under Mr. Mustafa Jamal Hossain ACA which is mainly the accounting section.

The functions I performed here ware-

Checking the cheque payment Vouchers. Then, writing those records in a large cheque book and the deposited money in bank .After the end of every month, I calculated the total cheque expenditures. Preparing a summary sheet taking all the major categories of cheque expenses. Recording those cheque expenses data in computer using the company’s specific accounting software. Preparing Bank Reconciliation Statement. Checking the cash payment Vouchers. Gradually I worked with the other personnel of Finance & Accounts department, and underwriting personnel. Though I gave more concentration on finance & Accounting related tasks but I had also great interest on the marketing department of the company. The main reason behind this was, thought this report I tried my level best to identify the satisfaction of the customers’ about the company’s service. So I needed to learn marketing strategies followed by the company, advertising procedures, maintaining relation with clients etc. The other reason was I have found that the marketing policy of an insurance company is totally different from the marketing policy of other companies. And most of the customers do not know what types of financial coverage they are taking. So, I felt very interest that how the company handles these customers. All the marketing employees stay outside to meet with their clients as well as to capture clients and it was not possible for me to do such types of marketing task. However, I tried to know their marketing strategies from oral discussion and meet with clients during personal interview.

The plan is available under both options i.e. with profit (Table-01) and without profit (Table-41).

These plans provide for payment of sum assured in case of premature death within the term or refund of all premiums paid at end of term (Table-57A).

A MOVEMENT FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC SECURITY GONO-GRAMEEN BIMA A NON-PROFIT INITIATIVE OF DELTA LIFE INSURANCE CO. LTD. Delta Life first launched Micro-insurance product in 1988 through its Grameen Bima Project (GRB) to cater to the necessity of economic protection against premature death and of disability as well as providing a way for regular savings for the poor and low income group of people living in villages. Later it started another project in 1994, namely, Gono Bima (GNB) for the urban poor and the low income class. These projects are now merged under the name of Gono-Grameen Bima Project (GN-GRB). The initial problems apart, the project started to yield impressive results right from the beginning by creating great interest among the target population who could not even perceive an institutional arrangement through which the ever present problems of insecurity of life could be addressed. To suit the needs and pockets of the target people, and for efficient management of these portfolios, some of the age-old traditional concepts of carrying on life insurance business had to be diluted and in some cases replaced by simple and straightforward practices. Yet, the results are so encouraging that Delta Life is now regarded far and wide as the undisputed leader espousing the cause of welfare of teeming millions and its experiences are now used

to advantage not only by indigenous companies but also other micro-savings organizations abroad. Target group and the product In GNB/GRB the formalities are minimum. Insurance cover is given under Group Insurance concept. A person interested in a policy submits a simple two- page proposal form; it is signed or thumb-imprinted by him/her. There is no need for medical check-up. The person needs to be between 18 and 45 years of age, have a monthly income of Taka 5,000/=(US $ 100.00) or less, be of good health and supply a Declaration of Good Health (DGH) at the time of submitting the Proposal form. Death through pregnancy complications within the first year of the policy and death through suicide in the first year of the policy are not covered under an "exclusion clause". Simple endowment with profit policies are offered for 10 and 15 years term both with premium payment mode being weekly or monthly. Premium rate is the same irrespective of age at entry. Besides this plan new plans like three-payment plan with 12 and 15 years term and double protection endowment plan have recently been introduced. Upon acceptance of the proposal, a pass book is issued to the policyholder detailing all terms and conditions of the policy. The pass book serves as the purpose of recording of all payments made by him towards the policy. There is one group policy document for the policyholders of each Thana or Block. For individual policyholders the passbook serves as policy document. Micro Investment (Loan) GN-GRB gives small project loans to its policyholders on a group liability basis. No collateral is required. There is 20% service charge on the loans, which is calculated at a flat rate and added to the principal amount. The loan, together with the service charge, is repayable in 12 equal monthly installments. The repayments are collected from door to door by the organizers. Recently a decision has been taken to establish small collection booths in the villages. A person must be a policyholder and pay premiums for at least one year before being eligible for a loan. The maximum loan given is Taka 5,000/=(US$ 100.00) per policyholder. The loans are for income generating activities (IGA) only. Policyholders form a committee of 5 to 7 members. 3 policyholders selected by the committee are given the first loan.

After recovery of 3 installments from each of the first three borrowers, the next 3 are given their loans and so on. As a general rule, 60% of the premium income of an area and 40% of the repaid loan of an area are available for loan in that area. Also 100% of premium collection of a committee is available for loan to that committee.

Internship Learning Points During my training period in Delta Life Insurance Company Ltd, I tried my level best to enrich my knowledge by gathering as much as information and practically doing the office works of different departments. Among four departments of the organization, I gave more emphasize on the activities of finance & Accounts departments are given in the following sections:

Learning from the Finance &Accounts Department My major leanings come from this department. The work range of this department is very wide. So it was not possible for me to practically learn all the functions. However, my main learning functions are: 

How to check the cash &cheque vouchers.



How to record the voucher.



How to prepare a summary sheet of expenditures.



How to prepare a bank reconciliation statement.

Learning from Underwriting department My learning period from this department was not long but in the mean time I learned the most important matter of this department like the procedure to calculate the insurance premium. From my understanding I am trying to give here an example:

To calculate the amount of premium, the process and methods are predetermined by the government. For giving coverage of each type of insurance scheme certain amount of money is encoded. For example, in case of fire policy 1855 is given by the clients to the insurance company. Then the charge is calculated on the insured amount for each type of risk @2.8%. Finally insurance stamp and vat in added to determine the total amount of premium. Suppose the

sum insured amount is19000. So the amount of premium will be:

Amount of Premium=1855+(19000*2.8%)+vat+stamp. Learning from claim and Reinsurance Department Though I gave very few times in this department but with the help of this department’s personnel I learned two important issues: 

Calculating the proportion of reinsurance



Calculating the amount of actual claim

From my understanding I am trying to give here two examples of those:

Calculation of Reinsurance For example, a company sells an insurance policy in exchange for a premium of TK.10000. Now the company has to reinsurance it to Sadhran Bima Corporation. The company is able to bear loss up to TK4000. Sothe remaining 6000 is reinsured to Sadharan Bima Corporaton. In this regard now the company is the client and Sadharan Bima Corporation is the insurance company. So the company has to pay premium to sadhran Bima Corporation based on the following ratio: 4000/10000=40% 6000/10000=60% When any claim will be occurred, the company will bear loss up to 40% and the remaining 60%will be given by the sadharan Bima Corporation.

2. Calculation of Claim for Example, a cargo consisting of 10000 bags is insured for TK. 200000(20per Bag). But 4000 bags were damaged and would realize TK.4per bag. The market value of per bag is TK 18 in undamaged condition. So the amount of actual claim will be:

Insured value of 10000 bags @ TK. 20

2,00,000

Insured value of 4000 bags @ TK. 20

80,000

Market value of 4000 bags in undamaged condition @ TK. 18

72,000

Sales value of 4,000 bags in damaged condition @ TK 4

16,000

The amount of Loss

56,000

Value of damaged goods = 56,000/72,000*80,000

62,222

Add: Commission Survey Fee Others Actual amount of insurance Claim

62,222

Although as a finance major student I started my internship duties from Finance & Accounts Department and tried to move to the other departments but to fulfill the purpose of my internship report I had to gave emphasize on the Marketing Department also as my report’s finding is covering the general
