Summary (English)

This study is an attempt to identify and document the various insurance products provided by insurance companies to the disadvantaged groups in India. Information on six public and twenty private insurance companies have been included, together offering 83 insurance products. All the data were obtained through the insurance companies using questionnaires, promotional materials, websites, previous studies, etc. The study is intended for the development operators working in this field; it especially allows them to play a more efficient role in the promotion of new insurance services and thus contributing to the extension of social protection to the excluded groups.
