Increase in the exports of Pharma Products, Automobiles, Fully Assembled Engines and Automobile Parts in the recent years has resulted in need for Product Liability Insurance as due to quality complaint or need for recall there can be heavy liability on the Indian Manufacturers or Exporters.

Why the need for Specialized Industry Focused Training Programme on Insurance Frauds – How to Control it?

Insurance Frauds is a worldwide phenomenon.

Estimates by India Forensic Research are that in our country this figure is in the range of Rs 45000 Crores per year and is increasing at a rapid pace. In other words, in India on an average every insurance company loses 8.5% of its revenues to the frauds. This means that the profit of insurance companies is being eaten up by various persons, many are connected with this Industry directly, many are clients and then there are large numbers of criminals. Indian Government, IRDA (The Regulator), many other Government Agencies and all Insurance Companies are anxious to bring Insurance Frauds under control so that the benefits in the form of reduced premium, higher profits, and higher tax revenue to the Government can be utilized for the growth of the Indian Economy.

  • How Insurance Frauds are being committed in India/ World?
  • Why top management should give due importance to screening at proposal stage so that watch is kept at fraud at every level – i.e. issue of policy to Claim Settlement?
  • Use of Forensic Science/ Modern Technologies/ Data Analytics as a necessity to track and blacklist fraudsters
  • Measures by the Surveyors to detect and identify characteristics that distinguish fraudulent claims from valid claims

Training Programme on Project Insurance 2018

Why need for Specialized Industry Focused Training Programme on Project Insurance?

Indian Economy is growing at a fast pace and large amount is being invested in the following projects:

  • Infrastructure
  • Ports/ Airports
  • Highways
  • Roadways
  • Metro/ Rapid Metro
  • High Rise Buildings
  • 300 Smart Cities

Country is also focusing on “Make in India” and large amount is being invested in setting up of various manufacturing projects:

  • Defence Infrastructure
  • Petro Chemicals
  • Power Generation
  • Food Processing/ Cold Chain Supply Line

All major projects and investments present great opportunities, but also have many unforeseen risks as well. The management of risk in construction projects involves both the allocation of risk under the project contracts and the management of those risks through insurance. The ability to recognize and overcome risks is crucial to the success or failure of any project.

Investors, lenders, contractors and implementors of projects are exposed to a wide range of risks which may:

  • Impact the asset base
  • Interrupt the revenue stream
  • Affect repayments to lenders and investors

The potential risks can be divided into following three groups:

  • Physical Assets Protection
  • Design Engineering Risks
  • Management Liability
  • Financial Market and Economic reforms

Project insurance should cover ‘All-risks’ of loss or damage to the permanent and temporary works comprising the contract, including the materials, and all things used for or intended for incorporation within the contract, throughout various phases of the construction/ erection, including testing.

Objectives of the Training Programme:
