Customer Perceived Service Quality and Behavioural Intentions of the customers. The

intensified competition has compelled the marketers to be more strategic in acquiring,

dealing and keeping customers. In view of significance of selected constructs, present

study reveals the level of service quality perceived, sense of satisfaction and loyalty

felt by the customers of life insurance providers in India. A relationship model of the

all the selected behavioural constructs is also purposed and tested with high

reliability.

A comprehensive analysis of available literature review laid the foundation of the

study, initially. Later, first hand data was accessed from the randomly selected

respondents from representative population of residents of Delhi and Haryana (NCR)

who has taken life risks coverages from any of the life insurance service providers.
