their current assets and optimize cash flow. It's oriented around ensuring short-term financial
obligations and expenses can be met, while also contributing towards longer-term business
objectives.

What Is Working Capital Management?
Working capital management refers to the process of managing a company's short-term assets
and liabilities, such as inventory, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and cash. It involves
optimizing the balance between these assets and liabilities to ensure that a business has sufficient
cash flow to meet its short-term obligations while maintaining its daily operations.
Understanding working capital management, as well as effective practices, is crucial for
businesses to remain solvent and profitable, as it ensures that a company can cover its
expenses and debts while still having enough cash on hand to fund its growth and expansion.
Without proper management, a business may struggle to pay its bills, which could lead to cash
flow issues, missed opportunities, and ultimately, failure. Therefore, working capital
management is an essential function of financial management for businesses of all sizes and
industries.

Key Components Of Working Capital Management
The key components of working capital management are as follows:
 Inventory Management: Inventory management refers to the process of managing the inventory
levels of a business to ensure that it has sufficient stock on hand to meet customer demand while
avoiding overstocking. This is important as excess inventory ties up valuable cash, while
inadequate inventory can lead to lost sales.
 Accounts Receivable Management: Accounts receivable management involves managing the
credit given to customers and ensuring that they pay their bills on time. This is crucial for
maintaining cash flow and avoiding bad debts.
 Accounts Payable Management: Accounts payable management involves managing the
payments made to suppliers and other creditors to ensure that bills are paid on time, but not too
early, to preserve cash flow.
 Cash Management: Cash management involves managing the inflow and outflow of cash to
ensure that a business has sufficient cash on hand to meet its short-term obligations while
maintaining adequate liquidity.
 Working Capital Financing: Working capital financing involves securing financing to fund the
day-to-day operations of a business, such as short-term loans or lines of credit.
4|Page

 Forecasting and Planning: Forecasting and planning involves predicting future cash flow needs
and developing strategies to meet those needs, such as increasing sales, reducing expenses, or
securing additional financing. This is important for ensuring that a business can continue to
operate and grow in the long term.
Objectives Of Working Capital Management
The primary objectives of working capital management are to ensure that a company has
sufficient liquidity to operate its day-to-day activities, manage short-term debts, and fund growth
opportunities. Here are the key objectives of working capital management:
 Maintaining Adequate Cash Flow: One of the primary objectives of working capital
management is to maintain sufficient cash flow to meet a company's daily operating expenses,
such as rent, payroll, and utilities.
 Optimizing the Balance Between Assets and Liabilities: Working capital management aims to
ensure that a company has a balanced mix of short-term assets and liabilities, which maximizes
cash flow and minimizes the cost of capital.
 Minimizing the Cost of Capital: Effective working capital management can reduce the cost of
capital by optimizing the use of existing assets and liabilities, reducing the need for expensive
short-term financing, and improving creditworthiness.
5|Page

 Managing Short-Term Debt: Working capital management also aims to manage short-term debt
effectively, such as credit lines and accounts payable, to ensure that a company can meet its
financial obligations without incurring excessive costs.
 Enhancing Profitability: By optimizing cash flow and minimizing the cost of capital, effective
working capital management can contribute to enhanced profitability by increasing revenue and
reducing expenses.
 Supporting Growth Opportunities: Finally, working capital management aims to ensure that a
company has sufficient resources to pursue growth opportunities, such as expanding product
lines, entering new markets, or acquiring other businesses.
Factors That Affect Working Capital Needs
Working capital is the money that a company uses to fund its day-to-day operations. It
represents the difference between a company's current assets and its current liabilities. A
company's working capital needs can be affected by several factors, including:
 Industry: Different industries have different working capital needs. For example, companies in
the retail industry typically require a larger amount of working capital to maintain inventory
levels and cover operational expenses, while companies in the service industry may require less
working capital.
 Sales Volume: Companies with higher sales volume generally require more working capital to
cover expenses such as payroll, inventory, and accounts receivable. Conversely, companies with
lower sales volume may require less working capital.
6|Page

 Seasonality: Companies that experience seasonal fluctuations in demand may require more
working capital during peak seasons to cover expenses such as increased inventory levels and
labor costs.
 Growth: Companies that are experiencing growth may require more working capital to fund
expansion plans, such as opening new locations or launching new products.
 Payment Terms: Companies that offer longer payment terms to customers may require more
working capital to cover expenses until payment is received. Similarly, companies that negotiate
longer payment terms with suppliers may require less working capital in the short term.
 Operating Efficiency: Companies that have streamlined their operations and are able to collect
payments from customers quickly and efficiently may require less working capital than
companies that have inefficient processes.
 Economic Conditions: Economic conditions can affect a company's working capital needs. For
example, during a recession, companies may require more working capital to cover expenses
while waiting for payments from customers, as customers may be slower to pay during tough
economic times.
Benefits Of Effective Working Capital Management
Effective working capital management can bring several benefits to a company, including:
 Improved Cash Flow: Effective working capital management helps a company to generate more
cash flow by reducing the time it takes to convert inventory and accounts receivable into cash.
This improves the company's ability to meet its financial obligations and invest in growth
opportunities.
7|Page

 Better Financial Stability: Efficient management of working capital can help a company to
maintain financial stability by ensuring that it has sufficient cash reserves to cover its short-term
obligations. This can also help the company to weather economic downturns or unexpected
events.
 Lower Financing Costs: By reducing the need for external financing, effective working capital
management can lower a company's financing costs. This can free up resources that can be used
for other purposes such as research and development or marketing.
 Improved Vendor Relationships: Effective working capital management can help a company to
negotiate better payment terms with suppliers. This can result in lower costs for inventory and
supplies, which can help to improve the company's profitability.
 Better Creditworthiness: Efficient management of working capital can improve a company's
creditworthiness and make it more attractive to lenders and investors. This can make it easier for
the company to secure financing at favorable terms, which can help to fuel growth and expansion.
 Improved Profitability: By reducing the cost of financing and improving cash flow, effective
working capital management can help to improve a company's profitability. This can also help to
increase shareholder value and enhance the company's reputation in the market.
Tips For Working Capital Optimization
It’s clear that working capital optimization is a useful priority. Here are some effective working
capital management strategies you can implement.
1. Manage Procurement and Inventory
Inventory and procurement systems are some of the most important factors in your working
capital. With that, taking steps to optimize these systems is key.
8|Page

Start with tracking: It can be difficult to make adjustments to these systems without careful
tracking in place. If possible, set up a tracking system that collects information about your
inventory.
Make reasonable decisions about demand: Instead of ordering inventory with an optimistic
mindset, make your inventory orders based on hard data.
2. Pay Vendors on Time
It’s difficult to thrive as a business if you are consistently late with paying your vendors. Late
payments lead to bad feelings: When you don’t make payments on time, it can be challenging to
get access to the materials you need in the future. Plus, suppliers are more likely to negotiate
better terms for products with customers that pay on time.
3. Improve the Receivables Process
Everyone wants to get paid on time. As a business, it’s important to build out the accounts
receivables process to streamline getting your money for goods and services.
Send out invoices ASAP: Although sending invoices can be a chore, it’s a critical part of getting
paid. Don’t skip this task.
Enlist the help of technology: Use an invoicing reminder system that contacts customers with
their due date is approaching.
Incentivize on-time payments: If you want to speed up payments, make an incentive program.
Consider offering a discount to customers that pay in full when they receive the goods.

4. Manage Debtors Effectively
Providing debt to customers is sometimes unavoidable as you grow your business. If you provide
financing, negotiate repayment terms that work well for your business.
Working Capital Management Solutions
Working capital management involves managing a company's short-term assets and
liabilities to ensure that it has sufficient cash flow to meet its operational needs. Effective
working capital management techniques are important to a company’s success.
Here are some solutions that companies can implement to improve their working capital
management:
 Cash Flow Forecasting: Companies can implement cash flow forecasting to better understand
their cash inflows and outflows. This can help to identify potential shortfalls in cash flow and
allow the company to take corrective action.
 Inventory Management: Companies can implement inventory management solutions to
optimize their inventory levels and reduce excess inventory. This can help to free up cash and
reduce carrying costs.
 Accounts Receivable Management: Companies can implement accounts receivable
management solutions to improve their collection processes and reduce the time it takes to
receive payments from customers. This can improve cash flow and reduce the need for external
financing.
10 | P a g e

 Accounts Payable Management: Companies can implement accounts payable management
solutions to optimize their payment processes and negotiate better payment terms with suppliers.
This can improve cash flow and reduce financing costs.
 Short-term Financing: Companies can use short-term financing options such as lines of credit or
factoring to bridge cash flow gaps and meet short-term obligations. However, it is important to
use these financing options judiciously as they can be expensive.
 Supplier Relationship Management: Companies can implement supplier relationship
management solutions to establish strong relationships with suppliers and negotiate favorable
payment terms. This can help to reduce costs and improve cash flow.
 Working Capital Metrics: Companies can use working capital metrics such as the current ratio,
quick ratio, and cash conversion cycle to monitor their working capital performance and identify
areas for improvement. This can help to ensure that the company's working capital management
practices remain effective over time.

History of life insurance in India;
The history of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. In India,
insurance has a deep-rooted history. It finds mention in the writings of Manu
(Manusmrithi), Yagnavalkya (Dharmasastra) and Kautilya (Arthasastra). The writings
talk in terms of pooling of resources that could be re-distributed in times of calamities
such as fire, floods, epidemics and famine. This was probably a pre-cursor to modern
day insurance. The same instinct that prompts modern business-persons to-day to
secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive men also. They too
sought to avert the evil consequences of fire and flood and loss of life and were
willing to make some sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security.
In the year 1818, the modern Life Insurance came to India from England. Oriental Life
Insurance Company starEuropean community, was introduced as first life insurance
20 | P a g e

company on the land of India. All of the insurance companies which were in force at
that time were working for the needs of European Community, and were proving the
insurance facilities to those companies. Indian companies were not insured by the
insurance company. Foreign insurance companies started insuring the lives of Indian
people. But the Indian lives were not given importance as compare to the Europeans.
Heavy amount was charged as premium from the Indian people.
In the year 1870, Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society was established as first
Indian life. . The insurance companies were willing to cover the Indian lives from risk.
The United India in Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta were
established in 1906. In the year 1907, Hindustan Co-operative Insurance Company was
formed in Calcutta. Before 1912, No regulation was there in India to regulate the
insurance business. The Life Insurance Companies Act was passed in the year 1902. It
was become essential that the insurance premium tables and periodical valuation of
insurance companies should be certified by an actuary, by the Life Insurance
Companies Act 1912. The Indian insurance companies was put at a disadvantage by
discriminated between Indian and foreign companies on many accounts in Life
Insurance Companies Act 1912. A lot of growth was seen in the insurance business in
twentieth century. In 19th Jan. 1956 the life insurance was nationalized. At the time of
nationalization the whole life insurance industry was organized by 245 units. In 245
units, 154 were Indian insurance companies, non-Indian companies were 16 and 75
were provident funds. The process of nationalization was completed in two stages. In
21 | P a g e

the first stage, by mean of an ordinance, the management of the insurance companies
operating in India was taken over. In the second stage, by means of a comprehensive
bill, the ownership of the insurance companies operating in India was also taken over.
On 19th June 1956, Life Insurance Act was passed by the parliament of India, with the
objective to spread the awareness about insurance widely specially in the rural areas
with a view to cover all insurable people in India, the Life Insurance Corporation of
India was established on 1st September 1956. The aim of establishing Life Insurance
Corporation of India.

TYPES OF LIFE INSURANCE ARE:
1. Term Insurance: A term plan provides death risk cover for a specified period.
In case the life assured passes away during the policy period, the life insurance
company pays the death benefit to the nominee. It is a pure risk cover plan that
offers high coverage at low premiums. There’s an option to add riders to widen
up the coverage. The death benefit is payable as lump sum, monthly payouts,
or a combination of both. There’s no payout if the life assured outlives the
policy term. However, these days there are companies offering Term Plans
23 | P a g e

with Return of Premiums (TROPS), where insurance companies payback all
the paid premium amount in case the life assured outlives the term period. But,
such plans are costlier than the vanilla term insurance plan.
2. Unit Linked Plans: A unit linked plan is a comprehensive combination of
insurance and investment. The premium paid towards ULIP is partly used as a
risk cover (insurance) and partly is invested in funds. One can invest in
different funds offered by the insurance company depending on his risk
appetite. The insurance company then invests the accumulated amount in the
capital market i.e. in bonds, equities, debts, market funds, or a hybrid funds
3. Endowment Plan: Endowment plan is another type of life insurance plan,
which is a combination of insurance and saving. A certain amount is kept for
life cover-insurance, while the rest is invested by the life insurance company. In an
endowment plan, if the life assured outlives the policy term, the insurance company
offers him the maturity benefit. Endowment plans are also commonly known as
traditional life insurance, although, there is an investment component but the risk is
lower than the other investment products and so are the returns
4. Retirement Plan: Retirement plan helps to build corpus for your
retirement. Helping you to live independently financially and without worries.
24 | P a g e

Most of the child plans provide annual installments or one time pay out after the
age of 60 years. In case of an unfortunate event, life assured passes away during
the policy term - immediate payment is payable to the nominee by the insurance
company. Death benefit will be higher of coverage or fund value or 105% of
premiums paid. Vesting Benefit will be payable if the life assured survives the
maturity age. In which case, pay out will be fund value which has to be utilized
for buying an annuity.
Channels of insurance industry
1. Direct channel: Direct marketing for the insurance sector is a marketing method
used to generate leads for insurance agents. Insurance brokers and companies use
many direct marketing methods to find new customers. Direct mail postcards and
letters are two types of traditional direct mail that are popular for insurance
marketing. Many companies purchase local lists and send lead-generation mailers out
for their insurance brokers. Other types of direct marketing used by the insurance
sector include telemarketing, radio and television.
2. Bank assurance: Bank assurance or AllFinanz,is a relationship between a bank
and an insurance company, aimed at offering insurance products or insurance
benefits to the bank's customers. In this partnership, bank staff and tellers become
the point of sale and point of contact for the customer. Bank staff are advised and
supported by the insurance company

25 | P a g e

3. Agency channel: Agency is the largest distribution channel of almost all life
insurance companies, comprising a large advisor force that targets various customer
segments. The strength of agency channels lies in an aggressive strategy of expanding
and procuring quality business. With focus on sales & people development, tied
agency has emerged as a robust, predictable and sustainable business model. All life
insurance companies have an agencybuilding distribution strategy under which they
recruit, train, finance, and supervise their agent/advisers. For decades, agency was the
only distribution channel for life insurance in India.
4. Digital marketing: Insurers are using the Internet to provide general
information of financial service products (e.g., insurance, investments) and
planning involving the use of these products, to provide specific information of the
company and its product lines, to provide administrative support to its
policyholders and to serve as a prospecting and communication tool for its agent-
led channel. The following methods are used for digital

Day 9
21/03/2024
Steps Involved in Buying a Life Insurance Policy
1. Picking The Right Plan
The very first step is picking a plan that fits YOUR needs and requirements. Each person’s financial
goals are different - some may want to save for retirement, some may want to build a fund for their
child’s education, some may want to create a secondary source of income, etc. There are many plans
available from various insurers that cater to different goals. Choose a plan that best fits your needs,
financial goals, and requirements. The plan should be what you are looking for and not what others
want you to buy.
2. Filling in The Basic Details
The next basic step will be for the insurance company to know you better. You will be required to
give them a few personal details, which may primarily include:
- Personal details like your name, address for communication, date of birth, and any lifestyle
questions.
- Contact details like your email ID, contact number, etc.
- Professional details like occupation, income, educational qualification, and so on.
These details are then used for calculating an estimate of your premium for the insurance policy you
3. Deciding the Cover Amount

The most important stage in the life insurance application process is finalizing the coverage amount
for your policy. On most websites, the cover amount is automatically filled for you. You can adjust
the same as per your requirements and budget.
Make sure you choose a cover amount that covers the financial goals you have in mind. For instance,
if you’re opting for a Retirement Plan, make sure the returns are enough to sustain you throughout
your retirement. If you’re buying a Child Plan, the cover amount should be enough to support your
child’s milestones. Ultimately you are buying a policy for yourself and nobody will know such needs
41 | P a g e

better than you.
Day 10
22/03/2024
Let’s have a look at the various customisation options -
Premium Payment Term

You will also need to choose the premium payment term, i..e, the duration during which you can
finish off paying the premiums of your plan.
Insurers generally offer you the following

options: a. Regular Pay Option
You pay the premium amount until the end of your term policy. In other words, the premium payment
term and the policy term are the same.
b. Limited Pay Option
You can choose to pay your premiums within a lesser period of time in comparison to the policy term.
This means that your premium payments, though higher than the regular, are completed sooner and you
still get to enjoy the policy benefits until later.
Under this option Insurance providers offer different terms like 5-pay, 10-pay, 15–pay, etc. Here the
number corresponds to the number of years you are willing to distribute your premium payments.
Based on your choice, the premium amount is calculated and you can pay it within your preferred
number of years.
c. Single Pay Option

Under this option, you pay the entire premium amount in one shot. The premium payment is made
only once at the time of buying the insurance policy.
42 | P a g e

Premium Payment Frequency

The next step in the life insurance application process is to decide how often you want to pay your
premiums. This can be customized based on your financial stability and convenience:
a. Yearly
You can choose to pay the premium amount once a year.
b. Half-yearly
You can choose to pay the premium amount twice a year.
c. Quarterly
You can choose to pay the premium amount four times a year.
d. Monthly
You can choose to pay the premium amount twelve times a year.
Day 11
23/03/2024
Policy Term
The policy term is the period of time during which you will be covered by the insurance plan. Choose
a policy term that aligns with your financial goals. For example, if you’re buying a policy to meet the
education expenses for your child’s higher studies 15 years later, then choose a policy term of 15
years.
Increasing Cover Feature

If you aren’t eligible for the cover amount you want right now or want to ensure that your term
insurance is protected from ever-rising inflation rates, there are options to increase the cover amount
43 | P a g e

of your policy. If you choose this increasing cover feature, your cover amount will gradually keep
increasing until it reaches a limit as set by the insurer.
Benefit/Claim Payout Option

The next customization available in the life insurance application process is choosing the claim
payout option. You get to decide how you want the maturity or death benefit to be paid to you or your
family, based on the financial aptitude and goals of the recipient. It is to be noted that each insurance
provider may have different payout options, but these are a few common ones -
a. Lumpsum Payout Option: Choosing this option will entitle you or your family to receive the
entire amount in one single payment.
b. Monthly Income Payout Option: When you choose this option the cover amount is disbursed as
monthly payments, over a specific number of years.
c. Lump-sum With Monthly Income Payout Option: Choosing this option will be a combination of
both the above-mentioned payout modes. A part of the claim/ benefit amount is paid in lumpsum and
the rest is paid in the form of monthly instalments over a period of years.
Riders
Riders are add-ons that can be added to your policy at an extra cost. They enhance the coverage of
your policy and give you payouts on the happening of a specified event. You can choose from the
following riders (this is an indicative list and may vary across insurers) -
a. Accidental Death Benefit Rider

b. Waiver of Premium due to Critical Illness Rider
c. Surgical Care Rider
d. Critical Illness Rider
e. Accidental Disability Rider
f. Waiver of Premium due to Accidental Disability Rider
g. Hospital Care Rider

about your past participation in such activities and also if you intend to do them in the future.

if any.

members were diagnosed with the same.

There are three main types of life insurance claims:
1. Maturity claims
2. Death claims
3. Claim against Riders
Life Insurance Claims Process
There are three main types of life insurance claims — maturity, death, and riders. Beneficiaries will
receive life insurance payouts in the case of the policyholder's untimely demise. Here is a list of claims
one can make under Life Insurance.
48 | P a g e

1. Death claim
Here are the steps to file a death claim.
Step 1: Written claim intimation
The beneficiary must immediately inform the insurer of the claim. Insured's name, policy number, death
site, date, claimant's name, etc. The beneficiary can obtain a claim notification form by contacting the
insurance company directly, submitting an online request, or visiting any of the insurer's local offices.
The beneficiary must provide the following details.
• Their full name
• Policy number
• The deceased insured's full name
• The date and location of death
• The reason for death in the claim intimation
You can get a claim notification form from your insurance agent or advisor or visit your local insurance
agency. You should also check your insurance company's website to see if the claim intimation form is
available for download.
Step 2: Submit a claim form by filling it out

In the event of your untimely demise, your insurance provider would most likely ask for the following
types of paperwork. Documents required for a policyholder's natural death include the following.
• The original policy.
• A copy of the death certificate.
• A fully completed and signed claim form.
• Any practical assignments.
49 | P a g e

Day 15
28/03/2024
Death due to a medical condition
• Completed and signed claim form original policy documents
• Nominee's bank account details (such as a bank statement or cancelled check)
• Local authority-issued death certificate
• Medical records
• Statements from the treating physician and the attending physician
2. Maturity & survival claims

The insurance company will make a final payment to the policyholder on the policy's maturity date.
Bonuses and incentives are added to the sum assured to determine the final payout amount.
The insurance firm notifies the policyholder by issuing a bank discharge form. Include the original policy
document, a government-issued photo ID, a cancelled check, and a copy of your bank passbook when
sending the form back to the insurer.
Documents required
• Policyholder's photo identification
• Original Policy
• Policyholder's bank account information (bank statement or cancelled check)
• Completed Policy Discharge Form
3. Claim against add-ons/riders
Insurance Riders can be added to a standard life insurance policy to increase coverage. A claim process
depends on the rider in question. For example, medical history documentation, including a record of the
50 | P a g e

first diagnosis, a report from a doctor, etc., is required for the Critical Illness Rider. A copy of the police
report, a certificate of disability signed by the attending physician, medical information, etc., are all
necessary for the accidental disability rider.
A rider is an ancillary benefit to a basic insurance policy for which the policyholder pays a higher
premium. A life insurance policy can be supplemented with a wide range of riders, including those that
cover critical sickness, accidents, hospitalization costs, premium waivers, and more.
Settling a death claim also applies to claims related to riders, such as Accidental Death Benefit Rider,
Premium Waivers, etc. Submitting the required documentation, such as a copy of the policy and a
properly filled-out claim form, will help in a smooth claim settlement.
Reasons why an insurance company may reject your claim
The following are some of the most typical explanations for claim rejection.
Incomplete application
Details like age, income, occupation, credentials, lifestyle (smoking/drinking), and information on
previous policies and statements, if any, must be filled out accurately and completely. Policy benefits can
be cancelled if false or missing info is submitted to the insurer.
51 | P a g e

Day 16
29/03/2024
Importance of submitting the right claim documents
Giving your insurance company as much detail as possible can help them issue your policy and handle
claims quickly. Submitting correct documents in time is extremely important.. Some of the paperwork is
necessary to finalise a claim, while other pieces of paper are situation-specific necessities. The following
are some of the most important aspects of the required paperwork for a life insurance application or
claim.
• The life insurance claim settlement process will go more smoothly if all the necessary paperwork is
on hand.
• If you present all the required documentation when applying for a life insurance policy, the life
insurance coverage amount can aid your loved ones through a tough time.
Keeping coverage a secret
All your current insurance plans must be disclosed when applying for a new policy. People often omit
these specifics since digging through ancient records to discover the information is a hassle. Insurance
claims could be dismissed if evidence supporting the claim is hidden.
In the event of the insured's or policyholder's death, benefits will be paid to the designated beneficiary or
nominee. Therefore, keeping the insurance company updated on the nominee's information is crucial. A
life insurance claim could only be allowed if the policyholder accomplished this very important thing.
Claims against exclusions
Insurance policies typically include a list of exclusions detailing the circumstances in which benefits
will not be paid. Therefore, a claim will be denied if submitted for a condition listed in the 'exclusion'
section of the policy.
52 | P a g e

Submitting false information
It will be denied if a claim is found to be false or inflated. In addition, there may be legal repercussions
and a higher cost associated with the fraud investigation. The insurance company must be notified
immediately if an accident has occurred. However, the insurance company may deny coverage if the
claimant delays
Day 17

Working experience and uses
Working at an insurance company provides you the opportunity to gain useful and transferrable skills that
can help you advance in your career. Here are some skills you can learn while working at an insurance
company:
Customer service: You can gain strong customer service skills working for an insurance company since
much of your job is consulting with clients on their insurance needs.
