LIC has got highest settlement ratio, however they are the costliest in all.
ICICI prudential was the best in terms of settlement ratio as well as premium per year, also the policy got completed online without any hassle.
SBI website was cricky ! no proper information at all, also like ICICI I got call within 10 minutes of visit, but for SBI no call. Also my experience with SBI savings account as well as home loan was pathetic, so I am sure the Insurance will be equally bad.
HDFC life is also good, however for the same term and conditions of insurance coverage, the premium is pretty high.
Finally coming to the settlement ratio, all these companies have around similar settlement ratio, and if you have given correct information for getting the policy then none can really refuse the claim.
So my final choise was ICICI prudential.
