Insurance industry plays a vital role in the Indian market. Insurance is a mechanism to overcome uncertainty and risk. The concept of insurance has drawn the attention of practitioners, academicians as well as that of the common people. Insurance products are unsought products which people usually do not buy unless and until they are made aware of it. The development of the insurance regulatory and development authority (IRDA) Act in 1999 passed a clear signal to the end of the monopoly of some players in the insurance business. This study makes an attempt to measure the performance of LIC and other three Private Insurance Companies using the CARAMEL model during the period 2012 – 2013 to 2018 – 2019. These parameters capture the key operations of life insurers. Typically, the overall financial soundness and performance is a summation of the adequate risk management & the sound inbuilt control system, and effective & efficient business underwriting. From the result, it is clear that the earning and profitability ratio is the most important indicator of the performance. ANOVA results sum up that there is a significant difference across the four selected life insurance companies with respect to CARAMEL ratios. Thus the null hypothesis is accepted. Thus, this study concludes the investors who are planning to take the life insurance policy can opt for any one of the selected companies.
