Common Third Party Administrator for the Indian PSU General Insurer


The general insurance companies have finally decided to bring an in house solution to the mounting pressure of Third Party Administrator (TPA) that’s curbing their profits drastically. The claims ratios or the percentage of claims to the premium earned of the public sector companies is over 120% and the insurers blame the TPA for these figures.
