Insurers with good claim settlement record

Max Life and HDFC Life are insurance companies with a satisfactory settlement record. Choose one of their policies

I am 39-year old. I am physically fit and a non-smoker. I want to take a term insurance plan of ₹75 lakh or ₹1 crore. As I have my bank a/c with HDFC Bank and my research also suggests that HDFC Bank offers good term plans, should I go for one from HDFC Bank? Or is Max Life better? Please help.

Make sure to disclose all personal and health-related details so as to avoid any inconvenience for the family just in case the claim arises. Below are the premiums for a non-smoker, healthy male at your age under both the policies for a ₹50 lakh cover. The premiums exclude service tax.
