The only difference is LIC is a major player and has more than sufficient assets and funds to settle claims.Claim settlement ratio of all major players is good and the difference is perhaps due to the way claims are settled, when insured party opts for monthly income than lump sum the claim settlement percentage may become less as it shows part claim settled at maturity or death. Almost all insurance companies settle claims unless any suspicious activity or foul play is sensed in big claims. Small claims are settled easily without much investigations.Public sector companies like LIC, SBIlife, PNBmetlife can be at times more reliable than private sector, services of private sector can be better than that of public sectorš�� 1706k'_k�b

When IRDA( now IRDAI) was formed and insurance sector was thrown open in 2000 , all Super Indian pundits boasted that LIC will come to its knees in 5 yrs. It was also mandated that Private insurers shall come into black in 7 yrs. Later on it was increased to 9 and now to perhaps 12 yrs. Now it is 16 years since opening of insurance. How many private insurers are in genuine, continuous profits? You can count them on one hand’s finger.Market share will definitely come down. I gave have a pan shop. If another shop opens next door, it will sell at least one pan. So market share going down is no brainer.In 2000 all pundits said under LIC insurance density and penetration both are lower than international standards, private insurers will increase it miraculously. See IRDAI’s annual report to find out the truth in latest report.Since insurance companies have to keep data for 30–40 years, it s forced to leverage technology, world over. When punch card machines were available, LIC was using it. These punch card machines were discarded once processors came.With advancement and availability of technology in India, LIC like railways adopted. It has nothing to do with coming of private companies. It is naive to believe that a market leader company, will follow or adopt small player’s practices. Even after 16 yrs 20–25 private insurers could cobble up only 25–30% of market share is because of their wrong practices. SIMPLE.Between 2000 and 2004, all private insurers named their product exactly same as LIC. They had Money Back Policy, Endowment policy etc. It is wrong to say that LIC is copying product. People will buy original why should anybody buy duplcate?No marketeer will survive on a copied product. LIC is surviving and is live and kicking. This is more true for private insurers. You can see any insurer’s product worldover on internet. In Insurance copyright on products is not allowed, all over. And anyway, LIC;s product portfolio size has always been bigger.I can writes reams, as I have closely observed this sector since 2000.Opening up has proved to be a boon to LIC. Servicing is now setting records after records. Now Branch Managers can admit claims( subject to limits) at branch level. LIC has really gone to customer’s door step. LIC is increasing its reach everyday. Majority private insurers are closing their offices every month. Some big names like ICICI Pru/HDFC/Birla Sunlife/ SBI Life etc will weather everything and hopefully add value to Indian insurance industry.If private insurers had brought any super product, super servicing standards, Super distribution channel etc, LIC would have been on its knees by now. And 16 yrs are sufficient time to show future.Therefore, rest assured LIC will continue to be strong. Privatisation of LIC? Why should it be privatised? It is working better than Private companies. You might know, by 1956,when majority of 256 private insurers messed up with policyholders money, they were nationalised to safeguard policy holder’s interest and LIC was formed. And anyway, if it is privatised, can you imagine its market value? Will it ever get a buyer? Reliance Life when it sold mere 26% to Nippon Life, it charged 3000 Cr. An upstart got 3000 Cr. LIC’s Life Fund is around 20Lakh Crore. Any takers? That's why now same pundits say that LIC is too big to fail. In 2000 they had predicted LIC will come to knees in 5 years.And never believe that privatisation is a panacea. There is hardly any private compnay, almost all have been funded by public money or PSU bank. What happened to Kingfisher, Damania, Modiluft, East and West—they all sank with Crores of public money. So privatisation is no solution. Everyday private insurers are shutting shop all over world.They are not angels. Remember Satyam? Efficiency , financial discipline etc should be the parameter, irrespective of management.
