FINDINGS.
1. L.I.C is growing and is gaining market share due to its collaboration with The Govt. and better customer service. 2. Being the first Life insurance Company, LIC in J&K had Monopoly, which is the reason LIC is having maximum market share but due to the entrance of new entrants in the market the LIC is slowly loosing its market share. 3. Mainly LIC is loosing its customers to MetLife and Bajaj Alliance. As maximum of the customers who have purchased life insurance policy from L.I.C had their policies from MetLife earlier. 4. It was found that LIC is still market leader, the MetLife as competitor and ICICI Pru, BAJAJ Alianz as the followers. 5. Financial problem of the customers was found to be the major reason behind the lapse of policies. And the second major reason behind the lapse of life insurance policies was delaying in the delivery of Credit Advices by The Govt. 6. L.I.C was rated good by 54% of the respondents, very good by 20% and average by

51

LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA

24%, this shows the that L.I.C is making mark in the markets of Kashmir and is the famous sort out after MetLife. 7.

SUGGESTIONS
1. Financial advisors of L.I.C should concentrate on customers rather than on

targets, like other life insurance companies L.I.C should also employ Unit managers in order to increase the customer-employee interaction and better management of financial advisors. 2. The company should direct the financial advisors to interact and cooperate with

the customers to remind them due dates of their premium which will reduce the lapse of life insurance policies. 3. Direct delivery of credit advices through financial advisors to L.I.C regional

office or and credit advices reception centres should be setup to avoid late delivery of credit advices and their by ensuring timely payment of premiums 4. District offices in each district should be setup to facilitate better services to the

customers and also there by taping more customers. 5. Company should also concentrate on the promotion of the company and also

its products to attract more and more customers like setting up canopies at different places and placing hoardings, banners at prime locations in order to make presence
