According to the Oxford Dictionary, insurance is “an arrangement by which a company or the state undertakes to provide a guarantee of compensation for specified loss, damage, illness, or death in return for the payment of a specified premium.”
Thus, insurance is a way of safety for any predictable or unpredictable probable loss. Insurance is beneficial because it provides security, an old-age pension, an investment or saving mechanism, and tax benefits. Some of the major insurance companies are listed in brief below.
