Claim Settlement Ratio: The claim settlement ratio of Indian insurance companies is released by IRDAI each year. The CSR values allow customers to make an informed decision about the company’s claim settlement capabilities in the financial year. It is recommended to purchase a term plan from an insurer with a CSR value of more than 95% as they will have a better probability of settling your claims. For example, the companies PNB MetLife and Max Life had a CSR of 97.33% and 99.34% respectively in the financial year 2021-22. This means that both companies settled most of the claims received in the financial year.
Special Exit Value: Under the special exit value option of the term plan, you can cancel the plan at an early stage as decided by the insurer. On cancellation, the insurer will return all the premiums paid until that point and the policy will terminate. Also, zero cost term insurance is also available in India that allows you to exit the plan at a specific point and receive all the premiums back. Out of the term plans above, the Max Life Smart Secure Plus is a zero cost term plan.
