Frequently asked questions

What is an insurance claim settlement ratio?

It is the share of claims an insurer settled out of those it received, published by IRDAI in its annual report. It shows how reliably an insurer pays.

Which insurer has the best claim settlement ratio in India?

On the IRDAI figures shown here, IndusInd General Insurance (formerly Reliance General) leads the general insurers for FY2023-24, and Axis Max Life leads the life insurers for FY2022-23. Ratios move each year, so always check the study period.

Does a high claim settlement ratio guarantee my claim is paid?

No. It is a useful signal about an insurer's track record, but an individual claim is settled on the policy wording, the facts of the loss and the documentation. Correct wording and disclosure matter more than the headline ratio.
