Life Insurance Claim Ratio settlement: LIC First

According to the IRDA (Insurance Regulator and Development Authority) annual report, LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India)  has performed better in terms of claims settlement ratios as compared to private life insurance companies.

Mr. A.K . Dasgupta, MD, LIC said, “People trust LIC because of our strong claims settlement record. They know we have the ability because of our balance sheet and intention. People need insurance for two reasons - uncertainty and good return.”
