'Claim Settlement Ratio' (CSR) shows the percentage of claims settled by an insurance company in comparison to the total number of claims filed by the customers.

3. Solvency Ratio

   Solvency ratio helps an individual to assess the company's ability to manage its short-term and long-term liabilities.

   A company's solvency ratio is determined by calculating the company's solvency margin that is calculating the company's assets over its liabilities. A simpler way of depicting this calculation is:

   Solvency ratio = (Net income + Depreciation)/Liabilities

   As per the norms set by IRDAI, it is now mandatory for every life insurance company to maintain a solvency ratio of 1.5 and ICICI Prudential has been able to match this criterion. At present, the solvency ratio of the company is 2.07.

   For more details, refer to the graph given below that shows the solvency ratio record of ICICI Prudential for the last 4 years.
