Claim settlement statistics
We do not publish a claim settlement percentage for ICICI Prudential unless we can source it. These figures are revised every year and are reported under several different definitions, so a number copied from a comparison site is often the wrong metric entirely. Check the primary source, then read our rating methodology for how we score claim performance ourselves.

Formula & sourceIndustry benchmark
For FY2024-25, IRDAI reported that general and health insurers together settled roughly 87% of registered health claims, with about 8% repudiated and 5% still pending at year end. Treat that as the bar: an insurer materially below it deserves scrutiny, and any claim of near-perfect settlement deserves a second look at which metric is being quoted.
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.
When we publish a ratio we take it from IRDAI filings and average it over three financial years, never from insurer marketing. Where we have not verified a current figure we say so instead of printing a number. 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.
