According to IRDAI, almost a crore Indians bought travel insurance in FY 2025. That’s a 91% jump from FY 2019. But although many more people are buying travel insurance, they’re actually not getting their claims approved.
The ICR, or the incurred claim ratio, in this segment is particularly low. Just about 45% in the overseas segment and about 10% in the domestic segment. This means that for every 100 rupees an insurer earns in premiums, it pays out just about 10 rupees in claims in domestic travel insurance.

In this episode, we deep dive into why many more consumers are buying travel insurance, and why they often end up disappointed.
