Entry of private players (at present 14) in the life insurance sector resulted in rapid expansion of the sector as a whole with introduction of a number of innovative products.

Because of the long term nature of the liabilities and relatively new entrants to the business, the use of traditional term nature of the liabilities and relatively new entrants to the business, the use of traditional financial performance measures might be misleading . This report attempt to highlight the measures that can be used to evaluate financials of the insurance companies .
