EVOLUTION OF LIFE INSURANCE INDUSTRY
Life insurance started back in the 16th century when people were taking
out life insurance contracts, mainly on a one year basis, to cover funeral
expenses.
At the time there were no restrictions on who you could take out the
insurance contract on and, as a result, a number of people were using it as
gambling.
Towards the end of the 18th century, there were a number of people with
quite high income but no assets who saw the need for taking out cover to
protect their dependents.


The insurance sector in Pakistan, until end of year 2000, was under the
regulatory purview of The Federal Ministry of Commerce, Government of
Pakistan.
Empirical results show that during That period, the private sector insurance
industry was fragmented and suffered operational Inefficiencies due to
lower Paid‐up Capital and Equity requirements, while the public sector
Insurance companies enjoyed their privileged status due to captive
business.
A new insurance law was introduced in 2000 when the Insurance Act, 1938
was repealed and replaced with the Insurance Ordinance, 2000. The new
law primarily aimed to ensure the Protection of insurance policyholders’
interest and to promote sound development of the Insurance industry.
As of October 20, 2010 forty nine (49) insurance and takaful companies
are transacting insurance business in Pakistan along with one government
owned reinsurance company PRCL

Participants by providing protection against potential
risks.
The premium is paid to conventional insurance
companies and is owned by them in exchange for
bearing all expected risks
