Abstract
Our proposed project aims to build and manage a database that can be very beneficial
for an insurance company. The insurance company needs to keep track of all the details of
its target companies, agents policyholders, their premium payments and the various
products they offer. In the project, we intend to use the concepts involved in handling the
data acquired from insurance companies, agents, and employees using MySQL and PHP. The
database will include multiple tables which will be managed efficiently. Some functions will
run which would classify the policies based on their status that whether they are active,
lapsed, matured, etc. According to those classifications, different tables are created in
database and according to functions, records are grouped in respective tables.
2. Introduction
Insurance Policy data management system is a web based project which is developed
for tracking the details of the insurance policy, customer details and company details. This
series of web pages is an online insurance analysis and information management system
that provides easy access of information regarding the people and resources of insurance.
User can view their own personal details when login into the Policy Holder module. This
project is useful for any kind of insurance company to manage the insurance details, to
sanction the insurance for customer, process the insurance policy details and all kind of
insurance process through online. The Insurance management system is a complete solution

company, records, provides instant access and one that improves the productivity. It will
show details about insurance and its types, also it will show the details about different
duration schemes to the corresponding insurance type or insurance policy. The main
objective of the developed system is to allow admin users to register insured persons with
their name, date of birth, residence address, medical history and also policy details.
3. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
The problem tackled in the project is to handle the policy data using database management
system. This project would focus on both front-end as well as back-end for systematic
working. Data input would be given from the front-end by users. The front-end would be a
HTML form.
• Relation between client and his policies is a one to many relationship, but policy type to
clients is a many to many relationship.
• Data would be handled at the back-end using different tables and relations using MySQL.
• A policy taken by a client has attributes like premium, sum assured, date of
commencement, etc.
• A client has attributes including personal details as well as details about the policy he/she
has taken.
• A policy type contains attributes describing the type of policies like premium based on the
mode, risk cover.
• There would be many other tables where records of policies taken by different clients
would be present depending on its status like active, lapsed, etc.The developed system
should allow admin users to register insured persons with their name, date of birth,
residence address, medical history and also policy details. After registering all the insured
persons, website should provide management facilities like delete unwanted persons’ data.
And also should provide awareness to the visitors about micro insurance through articles.
4. System Specifications
An attractive and methodical Insurance Policy Management System requires the
amalgamation and utilization of modern technologies like the PHP, CSS and MySQL.
PHP - It is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also
used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP is an acronym for "PHP:
Hypertext Preprocessor".
CSS - This is used for styling purpose. HTML coding is just a structure and CSS is
applied to dictate the look and feel. Font size, font color, font style styling of images,
page layout, and more are determined by CSS.
MySQL - It provides us a way to integrate and manage the database for the policy
system by using the various commands to handle the queries.
XAMPP – This is a software used to connect php files and the database on a local
server.
