FINAL ACCOUNTS OF LIFE INSURANCE
Introduction:
Life is full of problems and uncertainties. Attempts are being made to reduce these problems and
uncertainties and where possible, to eliminate them. Everyone is exposed to some risk or the other,
whatever the precaution taken. Life is prone to accidents and buildings and goods may be destroyed
or damaged due to fire, flood or cyclone. Insurance is a way of protecting people and things against
such unexpected losses. The primary object of insurance is to substitute certainty for uncertainty as
regards the economic cost of loss producing events.
Life (Insurance) Assurance:
Life Assurance is a contract whereby the insurer, in consideration of a premium, paid either in
lumpsum or in periodical installments undertakes to pay an annuity or a certain sum of money, either
on the death of the insured or on the expiry of a certain number of years. The amount is paid to the
nominee of the insured if the insured dies before the policy matures. The person who agrees to pay
an annuity or a certain sum of money (i.e., who indemnifies) is called the Insurer. The person whose
life is insured (i.e., the one to whom the money is payable) is called the Assured and the
consideration paid periodically or otherwise is called the premium.
Life Insurance contract is a contingent contract i.e., the claim becomes payable only when the
contingency – death or completion of the stipulated period occurs.
Final Accounts – Credit Side Items:
1. Life Assured Fund: The difference between total receipts and total expenditure of a life
insurance company is not profit but is a reserve with which the net liability will be compared
when ascertained. The name of this reserve is Life Assurance Fund. Life Assurance Fund
appears as the first item on the credit side and it is carried forward from the previous year.
2. Premium: It includes the premium received or yet to be received for the relevant year less any
premium paid or to be paid on re-insurance plus the bonus in reduction of premium.
3. Considerations for Annuities Granted: Any lumpsum payment received in lieu of granting
annuity is called consideration for annuities granted.
Annuity is an annual payment made by an insurance company to any person, in consideration for
a lump sum of money received in the beginning. The payment is made by the insurance company
as long as one lives.
Final Accounts – Debit Side Items:
1. Claims: Claim is the amount payable by the insurance company to the insured, or his nominee
on the policy. In the case of an endowment policy the claim arises either on the death or on the
policy holder reaching a stipulated age, whichever is earlier. In the case of a whole life policy
the amount is payable only on the death of the policy holder. Claim on the death of a policy
holder is called Claim of Death. Claim on the policy holder reaching a stipulated age is called
Claim by Maturity or Survivance. Claims include reversionary bonus and interim bonus.
2. Surrender Value: It is the amount which a policy holder can get immediately in cash from the
insurance company if he stops paying the premium and claims the amount paid till then.
Surrender value is the present cash value of the policy.
3. Bonus: It is the share of profit which a policy holder gets from the life insurance company.
Bonus in cash is, as the name suggests, the amount of bonus payable in cash to the holder of
a ‘With Profit Policy’. Bonus in cash is payable immediately.
Bonus may be Reversionary Bonus or Bonus in reduction of premium. Reversionary premium
is the bonus payable on the maturity of the policy. Bonus in Reduction of Premium is bonus
payable in cash but which is utilized by the policy holder to adjust the premium due by him.
There is also what is called the Interim Bonus which is bonus payable on the maturity of a
policy pending the ascertainment of profit. With profit policies are those on which, in addition to
a guaranteed sum payable on maturity, a share of profits of the company will also be payable.
Without Profit Policies are those on which the policy holder gets only a fixed sum of money on
maturity and on profit will be paid.
4. Re-insurance: It refers to insurance effected by an insurance company in order to cover itself
against a large risk. Suppose a person has insured a building with company X for Rs.1000000.
Company X can reduce its risk by getting this person or building insured with company Y either
for a part of the amount or full amount. In other words company X has re-insured. If company Y
wants to reduce its risks, it can insure the same with company Z, in which case it will be called
retrocession. The re-insurance company will pay a commission on the premium received. In
the above example, company Y will pay a commission to company X. For company Y it will be
commission on reinsurance accepted. For company X the same commission is an income and
is called commission on reinsurance ceded.
