Open Letter to Kamesh Goyal, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance CEO

September 25th, 2009 by Ranjan Leave a reply »

Dear Sir,

In an interview published in Economic Times, you say that “I think, this suggestion copying what is done in New Pension Scheme and Mutual Fund sounds a bit far-fetched”

This was part of an answer to the question on agency commission to be removed from 2011 and replaced with a fee-based system from a panel headed by PFRDA chairman D Swarup.

My question to you is “Why are Insurance companies trying to sell Insurance in the garb of Investment products?”

Especially, since Insurance and Investments are two different products, to my mind. Should one mix Insurance and Investment and Insurance v/s Investment

I find it paradoxical that you try to compete with investment products and then complain too.

Regards,

Yours faithfully

Ranjan Varma

    I would love to see Mr Kamesh’s comment here :) Somehow these questions are just swept under the carpet again and again.

  2. I agree with Ranjan

    And also ask them why they even call the insurance provided as “protection cover” when its not more than 1-2 times of their yearly income ..

    I know that its customers responsibility how much he asks for , in that case who’s reposibility is it to educate them about the right insurance requirement ?

    “Hi Ranjan! Thanks for the article & it’s nice & informative. I think that investment & insurance are two different terms & both must remain separate.

    dear all, true!
    life insurance and investements,tax saving are different objectives.
    Donot try to mix them.
    term planplus family floter health policy, ELSS and front line equity shares are simple to understand and execute.
    thanks for this service.
    STAY AWAY FROM ULIPS!
