Significance of Claim Settlement Ratio when buying Term Insurance

Claims Settlement Ratio is the ratio of all death claims that are approved by the insurance company to the total death claims it has received from nominees. IRDAI publishes the data for each company for each financial year. All Claims Settlement Ratio-related information on this page is IRDAI-verified information only.
Claims Settlement Ratio is not measured separately for term insurance plans but it is calculated for all kinds of life insurance products put together, i.e. saving products such as traditional endowment products, anticipated endowments (money-back), term insurance products, child insurance products, etc. Also, it is not measured separately for offline and online term insurance plans. So it is a little difficult to judge claims settlement ratio of a company based on a single number for a year, or sometimes even based on a trend.
What is also important to understand is that it is not always entirely reliable. There are reasons we say this, and they are clearly listed in this article here. Factors such as age of the company, the kind of products that are dominantly sold, the size of the book, etc., working individually or at times together, have very high impact on claim settlement ratio. So when buying a term insurance pla, we would advise you to avoid going by claim settlement ratio alone and give other criteria such as product fitment and servicability a lot of importance before you choose a particular brand. We would also encourage you to look at metrics such as avg. time to settle a claim, no. of pending cases, etc.

Claims approved and claims rejected are shown below. Claims for which decision is pending or not made are shown as Claims Pending. These pending claims become the opening balance for the next year. Also show are the value (in Rs. crores) of all the claims that are approved, as well as the average value of each claim. Please note that here claims include death claims from all kinds of life insurance policies and not just term insurance. Since saving plans with low Sum Assured (which are a large share of business for all companies) are also included, the average death claim value may appear much lower than the Sum Assured you have in mind for the Term Insurance plan that you intend to buy.

Insurance Claims Settlement Efficiency :

Especially when buying term insurance, we do not want our nominees to keep waiting for the claim amount. So claims efficiency is a key consideration before deciding on our term policy, especially the metric around average no. of days taken to settle a claim. This number shows the importance given by the company for processing claims. Lower the no. of days taken, higher is the efficiency and better is the confidence level when buying a policy from the company. A lower average claims processing time also tells us that the life insurance company is not solely focussed on getting sales but also ensures genuine service during the 'moment of truth', i.e. when there is a death claim.
