The Indian economic development got a boost through its Economic reforms in 1991 and again through its renewal in the 2000. Insurance serves a number of valuable economic functions that are largely distinct from other types of financial intermediaries. Insurance contribution materially to economic growth by improving the investment climate and promoting a more efficient mix of activities then would be undertaken, in the absence of risk management instrument.
