How to read this data

  • CSR covers all death claims (for life) or hospitalisation claims (for health) in one financial year
  • A high CSR does not mean every claim type is paid — read the policy exclusions
  • IRDAI publishes this data for all registered insurers once a year, typically in August
  • If an insurer is not listed, it may have merged, lost licence, or is too new to have a full-year record
