But the private companies are commercial organization. The policies related with these life insurance companies, have always been an imperative issue for concerned stakeholders considering the corpus of fund and the underlying objective of the fund. After a decade of privatization of the insurance sector it becomes imperative to study the performance of private companies and their contribution to the economy. There is a need to study the investment pattern of private life insurance companies and the trends in their performance individually, as well as against the industry. The given research is an empirical effort to analyze the performance of life insurance companies in India in the post insurance liberalization era. Abstract INTRODUCTION
