Formula & sourceIndustry benchmark
In FY 2024-25, general and health insurers together paid 87.5% of all health claims they handled by number, repudiated 7.92% and had 4.58% outstanding at year end. By amount, only 71.14% of the money claimed was paid; 13.98% was disallowed under policy terms (deductions such as room-rent limits and non-payable items). Source: IRDAI Annual Report 2024-25, Table I.29. These shares use all claims handled as the base, so they run slightly lower than the settlement ratio we compute for each insurer.
Three numbers that get confused
Claim settlement ratio
Claims settled as a share of claims registered. Count-based, so many small settled claims can flatter it.
Settled within 3 months
A speed measure, not a payout measure. Often quoted because it looks higher.
Incurred claim ratio
Claim amount paid against premium collected. A different thing entirely, and frequently mislabelled as settlement ratio.
We take ratios from IRDAI publications and insurer statutory filings, never from insurer marketing, and show each year separately rather than blending them. See our metric definitions and benchmarks for the formula behind each figure, or go straight to the primary sources: IRDAI annual reports and insurer public disclosures.

Quote-based
Editorial notes
Plain-English take
Magma is worth comparing for older cars when comprehensive cover is still needed but premium control matters.
For car insurance, do not stop at the lowest premium. A slightly cheaper quote can become expensive if IDV is cut too low, zero depreciation has strict limits, or your preferred workshop is not cashless.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Can be useful for lower-premium comparisons
- May suit older cars with basic cover needs
Cons
- Check servicing and claims reputation locally
- May not be ideal for premium new cars
