In the last post I wrote about the Claim Settlement rate for Indian life insurance companies. This time I wanted to check how much time Life Insurance companies take to settle a claim!
Claim settlement time also becomes an important factor in choosing any life insurance as you don’t want your survivors to wait indefinitely or run pillar to post to claim the insurance money, but obviously I would place time taken to settlement of claim second to actual claim settlement ratio.
Below is the table showing the percentage claim settled in terms of number and value in 30 days, 60 days and so on.
The winner here is Reliance Life with more than 90% of claims settled within a month of claims made, which is awesome considering other companies. On the other hand LIC is able to settle only 60% of claims within a month which needs improvement.
