CLAIM SETTLEMENT TREND: LIC VS PRIVATE

The data says that the claim settlement trend in FY19  was 97.79%  with LIC, but with private company its 96.64%. The claim settlement trend of LIC is stronger but if you look at the data you can see neck to neck fight with private companies.

 PREMIUM: LIC VS PRIVATE

We also look for those insurance companies where we need to give less premium and expect  maximum coverage. If you draw a comparison between LIC and private insurance companies, You can expect more from private companies. Suppose, If you want to take 1 crore of insurance at the age of 30 in LIC then you have to pay 14000 premium but in case of Kotak Life, you just have to give Rs 9200.

 GROWTH POTENTIAL: LIC VS PRIVATE

Around 75% of the population of the country does not have life insurance. So the growth potential is higher with private companies than LIC. They have performed extraordinarily  over the past few years. According to revenue growth data, HDFC, ICICI Pru and SBI Life are topping the charts and have delivered over 100 % growth.
