Since the public sector undertakings are Government owned, they are to initiate unlucrative public welfare policies, imposed on them by the Government.In India, specially the Health Insurance Schemes by four wings of General Insurance Cos. are not profitable,rather they drain on their exchequer. For example, out of Rs.125/- paid to meet up claims, only Rs.100/- are collected as premiums. This shortfall of Rs.25/- is compensated from premiums from say Fire & Burglary where claims are rare. By this way, social responsibility rather than profitability is the main criteria for the public sector undertakings.
