Claim Settlement Ratio

The Claim Settlement Ratio how an insurance company handles and resolves claims. It is a percentage that represents the number of claims settled by the insurer compared to the total number of claims received in a financial year. Bajaj General Insurance reported a claim settlement ratio of 95.99% (within 3 months) for FY 2023–24, as per data published in the IRDAI Handbook of Indian Insurance Statistics 2023–24 (released in 2025).

It is also important to analyse an insurer's CSR track record over the past few years to determine if they are credible and consistent in settling claims. While considered an important metric, CSR should not be the sole reason for choosing an insurance company. One must check various other factors before deciding on an insurer.
 

Solvency Ratio

The solvency ratio helps us understand an insurer's ability to handle their financial responsibilities and ensure that they have enough money to settle your claims. According to IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India), insurance companies must maintain a minimum solvency ratio of 150%.

Bajaj General Insurance has not only met but exceeded such requirements. As per the IRDAI Annual Report 2023-24, the company's solvency ratio stands at 360% (3.6 times), significantly above the regulatory minimum. This means they have plenty of financial resources to handle claims and stay stable even during unexpected situations.
 

Network Hospitals

Network hospitals have a special agreement with your insurer to provide cashless treatments, ensuring that you have access to quality healthcare without worrying about arranging cash.

When you get treated at a network hospital, you don't have to pay for the medical expenses upfront and the insurer will directly pay the hospital bill. You will only need to pay for expenses not covered by your policy, like consumables, registration fees, administrative fees, etc.

Bajaj General Insurance has over 18,400+ network hospitals.

Network Garages

Network garages are authorised repair facilities approved by the insurance company to get your vehicles repaired in the event of an accident or damage. In this case, you won't have to bear the repair costs from your end and the insurance company will settle the bill. You only need to cover the deductible and any applicable consumable charges.
