The report is bit skewed due to lack of details on the type of plans as the point 6 & 7 of your comment rightly indicates. In my experience, majority of people buying from LIC are not pure term plans whereas Religare (which I bought) only sells pure term plans. It is difficult to reject ULIP claims since there is guaranteed fund value irrespective of false information. So the report is like mixing apples and oranges and painting them in same color. The table should be taken with a pinch (or rather a bag!) of salt:)
Totally agree with you. The report hides more than it shows :)
Religare has everything in its portfolio - ULIP, Term plan, etc. So it sells all but I agree that LIC mainly is agent based which are die hard fans of everything other than Term Plans; which also shows in the lower average amount for death claims amount!
You are right, I see that Religare has expanded its portfolio. Back in those days, they were known in the market only for their cheapest online term plan.
This is one of the best analysis of much-hyped "Claim Settlement Ratio" amongst various blogs...Very comprehensively done with detailed data...Great work sir...
thanks :) Please share this with more people!
