EXTERNAL CHALLENGES • Intense Competition on more profitable lines of Business. • Premium rates to remain under pressure in De-tariffed regime. • Business acquisition cost continue to rise. • Re-insurance cost also continue to rise due to reduction in ceding commission by Treaty Re-insurers to compensate for lower rates in de-tariffed regime.

Contd………….. • Adverse age profile of manpower – climate of inertia and rigidity • Imbalances in deployment of manpower – continued pockets of surplus / deficit despite structured TMP – widen TMP or more flexible TMP? • Continuous losses in Motor TP, Health etc. – Loss Management and Minimization • Attitudinal issues of manpower at various levels – commitment vs. alienation GIPSA
