A PNB MetLife insurance claim is when you formally ask your insurer (in this case, PNB Metlife India Insurance) to pay you the death benefit if the policyholder unfortunately dies or the maturity benefit if the policyholder survives the entire policy term. 

While term Insurance is a deal between you and the insurance company where you pay regular premiums, and they promise to cover loss of your life with a lump sum amount. This amount must be paid to the nominee when they file a claim and let the company know of the policyholder’s death, so the insurer can pay the nominees the death benefit.

IRDAI releases the claim settlement ratio for life insurance every year for all insurance providers. The following formula is used to calculate the claim settlement ratio:

Claim Settlement Ratio = (Number of settled claims / Number of received claims) x 100
