Answer:

The first insurance company to transact life insurance business in India was Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society in 1870.

Explanation:

Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on Indian Soil.

Indian lives were being handled as sub-standard lives and heavy extra rates were being charged on them. In 1870 Bombay Mutual life assurance Society was announced and it covered Indian lives at ordinary charges.
