Abstract:
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has evolved
microinsurance policies to promote insurance coverage among the economically vulnerable
segments of society. A microinsurance product is designed to meet the needs of people whose
main requirement is basic life insurance coverages, such as the payment of an insurance benefit
upon death of livelihood, family or health insurance, etc. The Microinsurance Regulation
(2005) has helped the growth of regulated microinsurance in India. The present study is an
attempt to measure the performance of micro insurance in India under individual as well as
group category.
