The investment income of general insurers has grown by 9.42 per cent in FY22 to Rs 32,546 crore, which in turn has managed to restrict the net loss number of the industry to around Rs 2,900 crore.
Among state-owned insurers, only New India Assurance was in the green. The other three, United India Insurance, National Insurance Company, and Oriental Insurance Company, suffered losses of Rs 6,926 crore in FY22. Among the 20 private general insurers, 13 reported net profit and the rest incurred losses. Out of the five stand-alone health insurers, only one reported net profit while others incurred losses.
Life insurance industry paid benefits, which include death claims, maturities, surrender/withdrawal, annuities/pensions and other claims, to the tune of Rs 5.02 trillion in FY22. Of this, death claims were to the tune of Rs 60,821 crore, up 45 per cent from the year-ago period.
During this period, profits of the life insurance industry declined by 10.5 per cent with profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 7,751 crore as against Rs 8,661 crore in the year-ago period. Of the 24 life insurers in operation during FY22, as many as 15 reported profits. LIC reported an increase in profits by 39.39 per cent while private insurers together reported a drop in profit by 35.62 per cent in FY22.

As of March 2022, investments made by the insurance industry stood at Rs 54.37 trillion as against Rs 49.13 trillion as on March, 2021 to register an increase of 10.65 per cent. The share of life insurers stood at 91.09 per cent, general insurers including specialized insurers and Standalone health insurers constituted 7.10 per cent and reinsurers including branches of foreign reinsurers constituted 1.81 per cent as of March, 2022.
Insurance penetration in India during 2021-22 remained same as in 2020-21 at 4.2 per cent, with life insurance at 3.2 per cent, and non-life at 1 per cent. But insurance density increased from $78 in 2020-21 to $91 in 2021-22. While insurance penetration is measured as the percentage of insurance premium to GDP, insurance density is calculated as the ratio of premium to population (per capita premium).
