Rural
Postal Life Insurance (RPLI)
came into being as a sequel to the recommendations of the Official
Committee for Reforms in the Insurance Sector (Malhotra Committee). The
Committee had observed in 1993 that only 22% of the insurable population in
this country had been insured; life insurance funds accounted for only 10% of
the gross household savings. The Committee had observed:
“ The
Committee understands that Rural Branch Postmasters who enjoy a position of
trust in the community have the capacity to canvass life
insurance business within their respective areas…..”
The
Government accepted the recommendations of Malhotra Committee and
allowed Postal Life Insurance to extend its coverage to the rural areas to
transact life insurance business with effect from 24.3.1995, mainly
because of the vast network of Post Offices in the rural areas and low cost
of operations. The prime objective of the scheme is to provide insurance
cover to the rural public in general and to benefit weaker sections and women
workers of rural areas in particular and also to spread insurance awareness
among the rural population. As on 31.03.2015, we have more than 23.51 million
RPLI policies.
