Indian insurance companies have borne a loss of over Rs 30,000 crore in 2011 due to different kinds of frauds, a study has claimed.
It cited collusion between the employees of insurers and private persons, document falsification, and manipulation in citing the cause of death to claim insurance benefits, as some of the reasons behind these frauds.
“The losses caused to the insurance sector are Rs 30,401 crore which is roughly 9 percent of the total estimated size of the insurance industry in the year 2011,” the report said.
