Life insurance business nose-dives in crucial month of January

January, February and March are crucial months for the life insurance industry. The new business premium collection for January was 20% lower than December 2010 for individual single premium policies, while it was 10% lower for individual non-single premium policies. It is surprising to note that new business premium (NBP) for January was 20% lower than the NBP of December 2010 for individual single premium policies. NBP for January was 10% lower than the NBP of December last year for individual non-single premium policies.

Insurance companies are coming out with new traditional plans due to business shifting away from ULIPs (Unit-linked Insurance Plans). However, this does not explain why NBP has dropped substantially. Even the behemoth Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India was not spared.
