MOTOR INSURANE CONTRACT-COMON FEATURES

Many kinds of motor insurance contracts are offered to the insuring public and whilst it would prove impossible to decodable in detail every contract that is available, the principal features that are common to the majority are given. It follows that it is essentials for the insurers to collect, compare and contract the latest issue of motor proposal forms and prospectus used by different insurers. The main features are as follows:

a) Proposal forms.

b) Cover notes.

c) Certificates of motor insurance.

d) Policy forms.

e) No claim discount.

f) Premium.

g) Renewal Procedure.

h) Period of Insurance.

Proposal Forms

Proposal in insurance means a request, from the proposer to the insurer, for giving protection against a risk. This request may be made orally (face to face or over telephone) or in writing through a letter or very formally through a printed proposal from supplied by the by the insurers. Even though a proposal may be made in either of the ways, a conviction has developed for using insurer’s printed forms in case of accident (Motor) business.

For properly understanding the proposal form the student try to go trough the specimen forms of various branches.

In this chapter attempt will be made to discuss in general terms the important common questions one is expected to find in any proposal form. These are:

Name: Name of proposes is very important for identification. It should be correctly and accurately written so that the policy can incorporate the correct name and identity.

Address: Address should be accurately given because of several reasons, such as, identity and communication, and sometimes this is important for fating purpose, e.g., motor, burglary etc.

Occupation: Information as to occupation is particularly important in case of accident insurance, as this will influence the rate or decision of an underwriter.

Subject matter: This is the subject matter of insurance and, therefore, should be properly described so that correct insertion can be made on the policy.

Sum-insured: The amount for which insurance cover is required should be adequately mentioned. This is the limit of the insurer’s liability. It must represent the actual value of the property or the subject matter of insurance.

Claims History: This has an influence on underwriter’s decision and must, therefore, be truthfully answered. Details of all previous related losses, whether insured or not, must be correctly given.

Other Insurance: Information as to other past or present related insurances is required to be given. This is important for applying contribution amongst various policies wherever applicable. This is also important for assessing the moral hazard of the proposer since it might indicate the reason of effecting, numbers of policies. Information as to other insurances also enables the insurer to make necessary quarries with other insurers about the proposer.

Declinature: The insurer would like to know whether any other insurers previously declined any insurance of this proposer. This information would enable the insurer to find out from insurers the cause of Declinature

Declaration: Every proposal form contains a declaration to the effect that:

a) The answers given in the proposal form are true and nothing has been concealed or misrepresented.

b) The proposer agrees to pay the premium and accept a policy that is usually issued by the insurer for that class of business.

c) The proposal form and the declaration will form the

Signature: The proposal is required to be signed by the proposer, or by the authorized

person when the proposer is not an individual.

Date: The signature is to be dated.

Policy Forms

Since most of the insurance contracts are simple contracts, these need not necessarily be in writing. The exceptions are fidelity guarantee contracts and marine insurance contracts, which are required to be evidenced in writing because of the requirements of law. However, as a rule, insurers do issue policies with regard to all types of insurance contracts. It should be known by the students that a policy as such is not the contract in itself; it is simply evidence to the contract, which already exists.

Policy Sections

Whatever might be the type or class of a policy, it will invariably have the following sections:

1) Heading: In this section will appear the name and address of the company.

2) Recital Clause: This is also known as preamble. It gives a start for arriving at the Operative Clause by saying that as the insured has made a proposal and declaration (which will form the basis of the contract) for taking out a policy of insurance and as he/she has paid or agreed to pay the premium, therefore, the insurer agrees to provide him/ her cover in respect of loss, damage or destruction etc. as per the Operative Clause.

3) Operative Clause: In this section, the scope of cover provided under the policy is mentioned, followed up by exceptions in order to indicate the precise range of cover. Sometimes exceptions do also appear partly under conditions, but in scheduled form of policies these are usually grouped in one place and mostly within the operative clause. It becomes easier than to understand as to what is precisely covered by the policy and what is not. There is usually a war exclusion clause appearing whining the operative clause.

4) Schedule: Most of the vital information about the particular insurance is grouped here. It gives the name, address and occupation of the insured, subject-matter of insurance, premium and renewal premium, period of insurance, policy number, renewal date, renewal premium, sum-insured etc.

5) Attestation Clause: This is also known as signature clause and appears just below the Schedule. The person authorized puts his/ her signature and date here for and on behalf on the insurer.

6) Conditions: In some policies the conditions appear after the Attestation Clause and in some policies these appear before the Schedule. Whatever it is, these are usually grouped together. Some of these conditions are (a) conditions precedent to contract, e.g., disclosure of material facts prior to completion of the contract, some are (b) conditions subsequent to contract, e.g., notice of alternation to insurers, and some are (c) conditions precedent to liability, e.g., notice of loss to insurers. Generally, all these conditions fall under two main categories, viz., express conditions and implied conditions. Express conditions are those, which appear on the policy specially, and implied conditions are those, which even though are not appearing on the policy but, nevertheless, would apply. Examples of implied conditions are observance of the duty of utmost good faith, existence of insurable interest, existence of the subject matter etc.

Cover Notes

Since preparation of a permanent policy might take sometime and since pending issuance of the policy insurance, it has become a common practice for insurers to issue a temporary cover during negotiation period pending finalization of the matter. The cover may be given either by a letter or through a standard cover-note form. The cover is usually given for 15 days or 30 days and the period is mentioned on the document. The issuance of such a temporary cover does not put the insurers under an obligation to enter into a permanent contract, it would be as per insurer’s standard form of policy used for that class.

The information that would usually appear on a cover note is:

Name, address and occupation of the insured.

i.            Sum-insured and provisional premium.
ii.            Date and time of the commencement of cover.
iii.            Duration of cover.
iv.            Scope of cover, i.e., perils covered.
v.            Description of the property or subject matter covered.
vi.            Cancellation provision, which provides that either of parties cancel the cover by giving a written notice within a prescribed time.
vii.            A statement usually appears at the bottom of the cover note indicating that the insured is held covered as per usual terms and conditions of the company’s standard policy form used for this class of business.
viii.            Signature and date of insurer.

The student should note that a motor cover note will contain some additional information, as is required by law, such as, (a) use of the vehicle, (b) registration number of the vehicle and (c) a certificate from the insurer to the effect cover has been given in accordance with the provision of Motor Vehicles Act. 1939.

Certificate of Insurance

In motor insurance, law compulsorily requires issuance of a certificate of insurance, and this is the only acceptable legal document by the law-enforcing agency. The information required in the certificate and the wordings thereof are prescribed in the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939. The information is:

i.            Name and address of the insurer.
ii.            Certificate number.
iii.            Description of the vehicle, including registration number and mark.
iv.            Name and address pf the insured.
v.            Effective date and time of commencement of insurance for the purpose of the Act.
vi.            Date of expiry of insurance.
vii.            Persons or classes of persons entitled to drive.
viii.            Limitation as to use.
ix.            Certificate of the insurer to the effect that this certificate of insurance has been given in accordance with the provision of Motor Vehicles Act, 1939.
x.            Signature of the insurer and date of issue.

The students should not that a motor cover note or a motor certificate cannot be backdated or anti-dated and any attempt thereto would be a criminal offence.

Apart from motor insurance, discussed so far, there is a practice of issuing certificates in marine cargo insurance also, particularly when open policies are issued. Certificates are then issued in respect of each specific shipment, as & when declared under the open policy. Unlike motor insurance, there is no legal mandate for the issuance of certificate in marine insurance. It is merely a common practice. The certificate contains most of the information as appear in a cover note pertaining to the insured, risk, coverage, sum-insured, premium etc. In addition it contains the name of the carrying vessel, voyage from and to, sailing date etc.

Premium

In insurance contracts the consideration is in fact the premium. It is the cost of the risk coverage and is determined through the mathematical valuation of a risk. Premiums are usually computed and charged on annual basis and this is payable in advance.

Even though insurance policies are mostly yearly policies (as in general insurance) or even for a longer period than that (as in life insurance, which are long term permanent contracts, since yearly renewals cannot be refused if premium tendered), short-term policies for a period of less than 12 premium charged is not the pro-rata (proportionate) of the yearly premium but more than that because of the following reasons:

a) Certain fixed charges are there such as cost of the policy, stamp- duty etc.

b) Premiums are usually calculated on yearly basis in anticipation of getting it in advance. The insurers lose interest if they are to charge pro-rata premium for short period policies.

c) The main features in deciding the basic premium for motor vehicle, are:

(1) Use

(2) Types of vehicle

(3) Place of use

(3) Cover required.

Renewal Procedure

Renewing the same usually reactivates insurance contracts. Although there is no legal compulsion on insurers to invite renewal, as a matter of common practice insurers do usually send renewal notices to insured sufficient times ahead of expiry requesting renewal. If premium is not forthcoming within this extended period than it is customary to send a second notice or reminder. If premium is paid, then the policy takes its effect from the date of premium payment. If premium is still not forthcoming then most of the insurers would like to issue a last reminder before finally striking off the policy from their books.

Period of Insurance

The premiums on policy issued or renewed are payable for One Year. No policy may be issued or renewed for a period longer than one year, provided however that it is permissible to extend the policy period for a further period less than one year to suit the convenience of an Insured in regard to renewal date, in which case the additional premium payable by the Insured may be calculated on a pro-rata basis subject to the following Warranty being inserted in the policy:

Short Period Scale

Policy issued or renewed for on the following scale which must also be applied in calculating a premium when policies are cancelled during the currency at the request of the Insured:

PERIOD SCALE

(Not exceeding)

1 Week 20% of the Annual Premium

1 Month 25% of the Annual Premium

2 Months 35% of the Annual Premium

3 Months 50% of the Annual Premium

4 Months 60% of the Annual Premium

6 Months 75% of the Annual Premium

8 Months 85% of the Annual Premium

Exceeding 8 Months Full Annual Premium

N.B.-Policy issued or renewed for a short period may not be extended upon payment of the difference between the premium for the short period and that for the extended period.

Competitive Conditions in the Business

Though, soon after liberation in 1971, the insurance industry was nationalised and was controlled by two state owned institutions namely Sadharan Bima Corporation for general insurance and Jiban Bima Corporation for life Insurance (with the exception of American Life Insurance Co. in the private sector), there are at present 43 general insurance and 17 life insurance companies operating in the private sector. Over the years general insurance business has grown very competitive as the economic growth,

especially the private sector industrial growth, has not been as expected. It is however; need to mention that despite tough competition, the company’s business operations show

satisfactory performance. So far already 24 insurance companies have gone Public (including 6 life insurance companies).

RECOMMENDATIONS

This research on HR in Insurance Industry of Bangladesh-Case Study of Nitol Insurance Company the following recommendations are suggested for the improvement of HR activity. These recommendations will definitely improve the overall company image if implemented efficiently.

HR should be considering as the tactical factor which resist managerial leadership

activity on possible areas. Therefore to get the job done by the HR they should be closely supervised strictly controlled and, there should be thread of punishment.

Management can largely depend on the group or team of company to establishes their own goals and decide the activities those are needed to achieve these goals, to identify there own problems and solve the problem. Because employee is self motivated, self trained, self disciplined and controlled.

To sustain in the edge of globalization and highly competitive market and make the Insurance industry competitive, fixed rate or tariff rate should be free from the restrictions of Central Rating Committee on Insurance business and more policies should be updated simultaneously

The Central Rating Committee regulates the rates of premium and terms on Motor Insurance. Freeing the market from the restrictions of Central Rating Committee on Insurance business is also necessary.

The basic features in determining the Premium for motor vehicles are use, types of vehicles, place of use, horsepower, cover-required etc. Instead of these features, premium should be calculated mathematical valuation of risks and market value of a vehicle.

An Internship Report on “HR in the Insurance Industry of Bangladesh – Case Study of Nitol Insurance Company Ltd” Page 74 of 83

Generally the premiums on policy issued or renewed are payable for one year and no policy may be issued or renewed for a period longer than one year. This rule needs to be revised and period or duration should be relaxed as per client’s demand.

Instead of receiving premium at a time, premium may be payable through two installments so that clients have a positive impression regarding insurance business.

Usually, in our country, Insurance companies are not interested issue comprehensive insurance on Motor policy after a certain year because of physical hazard. It also needs to be removed and there should be a system to issue insurance policy on such type of vehicles.

Act liability compensation is very poor. In case of death, the Act liability compensation is only Tk-20000 which is very insufficient. So this amount needs to be revised. Although it is not possible to compensate a life in monetary term and in context our country, the settlement procedure needs to be easier and less time consuming.

The Company should offer some trainings regarding top-level management for developing the corporate type of strategy.

HR department a conduct an effectiveness assessment to assure the continued success and it may be introduced with a evaluation form in company’s meeting.

For the pay component of compensation program to be appropriate, wages, and salaries must be internally and externally equitable. The 5-year statistics shows that the employment opportunity of the company is satisfactory. They should emphasize on this matter

Performance guides career decision that there performance is improved with appropriate action in HR department. To know good or bad performances how well the human resource function is performing.

HR manger must handle HR activity and work is delegated to subordinate

CONCLUSIONS

Human resource management draws on many sources for its theories and practices. Sociologists, psychologists and management theorists, especially, have contributed a constant stream of new and reworked ideas. They offer theoretical insights and practical assistance in areas of people management such as recruitment and selection, performance measurement, team composition and organizational design. Many of their concepts have been integrated into broader approaches which have contributed to management thinking in various periods and ultimately the development of HRM

Insurance business is totally different from other businesses. Insurers do not sell product but they sell promise to pay or reimburse on future date for a named contingency Insurance fund is a pool to which the members of the insuring public contribute by way of premium and from which the losses suffered by a few are indemnified. As a result of this it differs from other business organizations in various respects including determination of profit, assessment of solvency, etc. Insurance company charges price front ended while the claim delivery /settlement is on some future date. Insurance companies are therefore unique as far as their recognition of income; expenses, liabilities and profits are concerned.

Therefore, from this study of insurance company can get the indications on which of the issues they have to pay more attention to do the HR activity and to compare the modern HR policy in Insurance Industry of Bangladesh.

Finally, this research will encourage further study and useful guidelines for these types of researches.
