A policy is born


When a proposal reaches the life insurance company along with all the requirements the insurer underwrites the proposal and decides to accept the proposal, with or without conditions, if the risk offered is worth covering. If the insurer has received the first premium (or single premium) the company issues the policy to the proposer (who will now be known as policyholder) as an evidence of the contract. It enumerates all the conditions and privileges of the contract. In case of annual or regular premium policies the acceptance is a counter offer which says the company is agreeable to cover the risk provided the policyholder pays premium to the company as stipulated in the policy on dated mentioned therein.
