Claim Settlement Ratio in Two Wheeler Insurance

Claim Settlement Ratio is like a benchmark to gauge the trustworthiness of an insurance company. There's a very simple formula to calculate the claim settlement ratio.

Claim Settlement Ratio (CSR) =

Number of claims settled by the insurance company

Total number of claims received by the insurance company

The CSR is calculated for one financial year. The more the CSR, the more trustworthy the insurance company.

Consider that an insurance company receives 1000 claims and it is able to settle 930 claims. Now by applying the formula, we get that, the claim settlement ratio of this insurance company is 930/1000 = 0.93. Percentage wise it is 93%, which is pretty high and you can safely conclude that this insurance company is very reliable to buy insurance from.

Insurance for a bike covers:

    1. Loss/damage to you two wheeler due to natural calamities, or unprecedented tragedies

    2. Third party legal liability

    3. Theft of your two wheeler

For latter the insurance company has to depend upon the police investigation and court orders in many cases, which might take longer time than anticipated.
