Formula & source

Industry 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.

Editorial notes

Plain-English take

Tata AIA works best for buyers who value brand comfort and want payout flexibility. Keep the core term cover simple first, then add riders only if they solve a real gap.

For term insurance, the insurer matters, but the clean disclosure trail matters more. Do not hide smoking, income, medical history, or risky hobbies just to reduce the premium.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Trusted Tata brand
  • Flexible payout options
  • Useful life-stage and rider choices

Cons

  • Premium may not be the cheapest
