Life insurance in India — frequently asked questions
How many life insurance companies are there in India?
India has 24 IRDAI-registered life insurers as of November 2026. LIC of India is the only public-sector company; the other 23 are private. The count changes when IRDAI grants or cancels a licence, so confirm the current figure on the IRDAI register.
Which life insurer has the best claim settlement ratio?
Claim settlement ratios (CSR) vary year to year. As a rule of thumb, a CSR above 95% is considered strong. IRDAI publishes the annual report with insurer-wise CSR — check the latest edition before deciding. Don't pick an insurer on CSR alone; product fit and exclusions matter more.
How do I intimate a death claim?
Call your insurer's claim helpline (listed above) or the agent who sold the policy within 7–15 days of death, depending on the policy terms. You will need the original policy document, death certificate, nominee's KYC, and bank details. LIC claimants can also use the LIC Call Centre (022-6827 6827) or any branch.
What is the difference between term insurance and an endowment plan?
A term plan pays a lump sum only if the insured dies during the policy term — pure protection, lowest premium. An endowment plan pays on maturity as well as on death — part insurance, part savings, but higher premium and often lower returns than a mutual fund. Most advisors recommend a large term plan for protection, and separate investments for savings.
Is Advisor4u recommending any of these insurers?
No. This page is a directory, not a ranking. Advisor4u (AMFI ARN-151469) advises on insurance separately and is not compensated for listing any insurer here.
Verification & disclaimer. Company details are cross-checked against the IRDAI register (policyholder.gov.in) and official insurer websites as of November 2026. Numbers, WhatsApp channels and login URLs can change without notice — always confirm on the insurer's official website before calling or entering credentials. This page is for information and education only and is not a recommendation of any specific insurer.
Never share policy numbers, OTPs, health conditions or bank details in a WhatsApp message or with an unsolicited caller. Advisor4u will never ask for your OTP.
