In an explanatory tone for every 100 claims filed, the company settled 97.54 out of them, and the rest were repudiated. Though having a look at the settlement ratio does not give a full report of the company’s performance it sure is an important component.
When purchasing an insurance policy every customer makes sure to purchase it from a reliable company that has the ability to fulfil their claim when required. The Claim Settlement Ratio is considered the most suitable way to check the executive potential and claim settlement capacity of the company. The company needs to maintain the consistency of its record in order to maintain accountability. The lesser the range of difference between multiple-year ratios, the more reliable is the company. Thus, the customer is always advised to check at least past 5-year records before purchasing insurance. This system works as a guarantee for the policyholder as and when there is a need for financial backup, he will get all the possible assistance. The claim settlement ratio is the number of claims settled within a year against the total number of claims registered. A company with a higher percentage is likely to be more equipped and capable of settling claims.
It is really necessary to understand the procedure to calculate the Aditya Birla Claim Settlement Ratio. In a mathematical arrangement, it means the total number of claims settled divided by the total number of claims filed.

This ratio is expressed in terms of a percentage to facilitate comparison with other companies. Hence, when simply put:
Aditya Birla Claim Settlement Ratio = Total Aditya Birla Claims Settles/ Total number of claims filed. (Claims filed within one year + previous year’s pending claims)
