AOA:AOY Ratios Compared — Which Indian Insurers Let a Doctor See the Ratio Before Buying?

By Best Worst Insurance Editorial TeamUpdated 17 August 2026

This is not the explainer — what AOA and AOY mean, and why the ratio decides how much of your cover one claim can draw, is set out in the AOA:AOY ratio explained. This page answers the question that comes next and that nobody in the market answers: which insurers will tell you the ratio before you buy? We went through every filed wording, prospectus, Customer Information Sheet and product page we could obtain for Indian doctors' indemnity, looking only for a published ratio structure. Two carriers publish one. IndusInd publishes its menu with the rupee bands attached — 1:1 up to ₹50 lakh of Any One Accident, 1:4 only up to ₹12.5 lakh [1]. New India publishes the full 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 menu and states that doctors keep all of it [2]. Everybody else leaves the ratio to the schedule, which is written at quote time — Go Digit's wording carries no ratio structure at all [3], National relabels the same mechanic as Any One Occurrence and aggregate [4], and the only public description of Generali Central's 1:1-only product is a broker page, because the insurer publishes nothing [5,6][5]. Layer on the finding that holds at every Indian carrier we verified — defence costs are paid from inside the limit, never on top of it [7,8,4,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,3] — and the practical ceiling on a single claim is lower than the AOA, which is already lower than the headline sum insured.

Ranked on one axis only: what a doctor can learn about the ratio before buying

Ranked by pre-purchase disclosure, best first. "Nothing published" means we searched that carrier's filed wording, prospectus, CIS and product page and found no ratio structure in any of them — that is the finding, not a gap in the research. Read the rank as a transparency score, not as a verdict on the cover: the two carriers at the top are not the two best policies in India.

CarrierWhat is published about the ratioWhat a buyer is left doing
IndusInd (ex-Reliance)Full menu with rupee bands attached — 1:1 for AOA ₹1 lakh to ₹50 lakh, 1:2 to ₹25 lakh, 1:3 to ₹16.5 lakh, 1:4 to ₹12.5 lakh [1]Comparing before quoting — the only carrier where both the ratio and its rupee ceiling are readable up front. The bands imply an annual limit capped around ₹50 lakh, and plastic surgeons are not eligible for the product at all [1]
New India AssuranceFull menu 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, with the doctors' entitlement stated — the 25%-of-aggregate restriction is for engineers, CAs and lawyers, not doctors [2]Choosing the ratio knowingly, then asking for the wording separately — India's largest general insurer publishes no wording, prospectus, CIS or UIN on its own site [7,2]
Generali Central (ex-Future Generali)1:1 only — but the source is a broker page, not the insurer [5,6]Taking a third party's word for it. The insurer publishes no primary document at all, and the product does not appear on its own filed-product list [5]
Oriental InsuranceNothing published in the wording. Its 1991 Market Agreement ancestry sets the doctors' guideline at AOA equal to AOY, i.e. 1:1 [17,7,4,9]Inferring the ratio from a 1991 rating agreement — and retrieving the wording itself from the Wayback Machine, because it is no longer on the insurer's site [9]
United IndiaNothing published — the CIS states an Any One Accident limit and an Any One Year limit as opted by the insured, with no ratio structureAsking the agent. The prospectus that should explain the product opens by describing cover for "the accidental breakage of plate glass" [8]
National InsuranceNothing published, and the labels differ: Any One Occurrence and aggregate rather than AOA and AOY [4]Translating before comparing. The same filed document also states two different compulsory excess rates, 0.25% in the clause and ½% in the specimen schedule [4]
ICICI LombardNothing published — no fixed menu appears in any primary document we obtainedReading the ratio off the schedule after purchase, on a wording still written in service-tax-era language [10], where the excess is charged against defence costs as well as damages [10]
HDFC ERGO MediserveNothing published — Any one Incident and Any one Year limits, schedule-drivenReading everything else instead: Mediserve is the only doctors' product whose insurer publishes wording, prospectus and CIS together [11,19]. Full transparency on the document set, none on the ratio
IFFCO TokioNothing published — AOA (defined as one originating cause) and AOY, set free-form on the proposal formProposing a ratio rather than picking from one. Nothing is published to check the proposal against
BajajNo menu. The one worked premium example in its own doctors' brochure is written at 1:1 [18]Inferring a default from an illustration. The retained amount is applied to defence costs as well as damages [14]
Tata AIGNo menu, no ratio published — a schedule-set Limit of Liability onlyA prior question: the published Professional Shield wording excludes Bodily Injury outright, so the core malpractice peril cannot be verified as covered at all [15]. The retention also applies to defence costs [15]
Go DigitNo ratio structure whatsoever — Each Occurrence and Aggregate limits set purely by the schedule [3]Nothing about the ratio can be compared before a quote is issued. A Participation Percentage coinsurance also applies above the deductible, and buying cover for it voids the policy [3]
SBI GeneralNot applicable — there is no doctors' indemnity product to publish a ratio for [20]Looking elsewhere. Confirmed absent against SBI General's own filed UIN list, not merely unlocated

1. What this page does, and what it deliberately does not

The mechanics are settled elsewhere. Any One Accident caps what the policy pays for one incident, Any One Year caps what it pays across the policy year, and the ratio between them decides how much of your cover a single claim can reach — all of that, with the arithmetic worked through, is in the AOA:AOY ratio explained. Start there if the terms are new.

What follows is the comparison. We read every filed wording, prospectus, Customer Information Sheet and insurer product page we could obtain for doctors' indemnity in India and asked one question of each document set: can a doctor find out the ratio structure before buying? Not what the ratio should be — whether the carrier will say.

Two will. Every other product in the ranking at the top of this page either leaves the ratio to the schedule or has no ratio structure to disclose at all. That gap is the finding, and it is one no carrier, broker or aggregator has any reason to publish, because almost all of them are on the wrong side of it.

2. Reading the disclosure ranking

The ranking at the top of this page orders every carrier on that one question, best first. Two things in it are worth separating carefully, because conflating them is the standard mistake.

The first is that the two carriers at the top are not the two best policies in India. New India publishes the fullest ratio menu in the market [2] and simultaneously refuses to publish its wording, prospectus, CIS or UIN anywhere on its own site — the document we read came from an intermediary [7,2]. IndusInd publishes bands more precise than anyone else's [1] and a Customer Information Sheet that tells a doctor to notify claims to "the Carriers, Port Authorities or other Bailees" [16]. Meanwhile HDFC ERGO Mediserve, which publishes nothing about its ratio, is the only doctors' product in India whose insurer publishes wording, prospectus and CIS together [11,19]. Ratio disclosure is one axis. The whole-document picture is in the transparency ranking.

The second is that "nothing published" is not one condition but several. Oriental publishes no ratio in its wording, but its wording descends from the 1991 Market Agreement whose doctors' guideline set AOA equal to AOY, so 1:1 is at least the documented ancestry [17,7,4,9] — although the wording itself now survives publicly only in the Wayback Machine [9]. Go Digit is at the other extreme: no ratio structure exists in the product at all, only Each Occurrence and Aggregate limits written into a schedule [3]. And Generali Central is a third case entirely — a ratio of 1:1 is described, but by a broker, because the insurer publishes no primary document for the product and it does not appear on the insurer's own filed-product list [5,6][5]. A number that cannot be checked against a filed document is not disclosure.

3. Why the ratio is a pricing decision disguised as a coverage one

The premium is not charged on the number the ratio protects. The 1991 all-India Market Agreement — the rating ancestor all four public-sector wordings still visibly follow [17,7,4,9] — rated doctors as a per-mille of the Any One Year figure.

The 1991 all-India Market Agreement rated the premium as a per-mille of the Any One Year limit — the figure the ratio does not protect. Presented as the ancestry of public-sector pricing, which the PSU wordings still visibly follow [17,7,4,9], not as a current quoted rate.

Specialty, as rated in 1991Rate, per mille of the Any One Year limit
Physicians, pathologists and radiologists0.5 per mille (0.05%) [17]
Non-surgical specialists and diagnostic establishments1.0 per mille (0.1%) [17]
Surgeons2.0 per mille (0.2%) — four times the physician rate [17]
Plastic surgeons and anaesthetists3.0 per mille (0.3%), the highest doctor rate; unqualified staff attracted a further 7.5% loading [17]

Follow the incentive. Where the rate is charged on the annual limit, the cheapest way to put an impressive number on a schedule is to raise the annual limit and lower the ratio. "₹1 crore of cover" at 1:4 reads exactly like "₹1 crore of cover" at 1:1 in a WhatsApp message from an agent, and costs materially less to write. The number that changes is the one nobody quotes: what a single claim can actually draw.

No Indian insurer publishes a loading for choosing a higher ratio, so the trade-off cannot be priced from public documents either. IndusInd's response is structural rather than financial — it caps the AOA by band, so the higher ratios are simply unavailable above certain rupee limits [1]. And the single carrier-published premium illustration that exists anywhere in this market, Bajaj's ₹1,250 general-pathologist example, is written at ₹5 lakh / ₹5 lakh — that is, 1:1 [18]. The one worked example a carrier was willing to put its name to does not use a discounted ratio.

4. What the ratio is worth once defence costs are taken out

Here is the compounding that makes the ratio matter more than it looks. At every Indian doctors' indemnity product we could verify, defence costs are paid from inside the limit of indemnity and never in addition to it [7,8,4,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,3]. The AOA is not a compensation fund with legal fees handled separately; it is one budget covering both.

So the sequence a doctor actually experiences is: the headline sum insured is the annual limit, the ratio cuts that down to the AOA, and the defence spend comes out of the AOA before anything reaches the patient. At ICICI Lombard, Tata AIG and Bajaj there is a fourth cut, because the excess is applied to defence costs as well as damages [10][15][14]. New India and Oriental charge no compulsory excess at all [7,17][9,17]; United India charges 0.50% of the limit with a ₹5,000 floor and a ₹1,00,000 ceiling [21]; the full picture on that term is in compulsory excess compared.

The illustration below shows what that does to the money. It is an illustration. The sum insured is hypothetical, and the assumption that a defence consumes one-fifth of the AOA is a stated assumption of the example — no Indian insurer publishes defence-cost data from which a real fraction could be derived, and we are not going to invent one. What is not hypothetical is the structure: defence really does come out of the AOA everywhere [7,8,4,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,3], and the awards in the right-hand column are real.

An illustration, not market data. It assumes a ₹1 crore Any One Year limit and a defence that consumes one-fifth of the Any One Accident limit. No Indian insurer publishes defence-cost figures, so that one-fifth is a stated assumption of this example and nothing more. What is *not* assumed is that defence comes out of the AOA at all: that holds at every Indian doctors' indemnity product we could verify [7,8,4,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,3]. The comparison column uses real awards.

Ratio on a ₹1 crore annual limit (illustration)AOA — the ceiling for one claimLeft for damages after a defence costing one-fifth of the AOA (illustration)Set against the award record
1:1₹1 crore₹80 lakhShort of the ₹1.38 crore and ₹1.1 crore top awards in the NCDRC's 2015-2019 caseload [22], and well short of the ₹2 crore directed in the 2026 wrong-kidney order [23]
1:2₹50 lakh₹40 lakhComfortably above the ₹13,78,300 average anaesthesiology payout, the highest specialty average in that dataset [22]; nowhere near the crore-level tail
1:3About ₹33 lakhAbout ₹27 lakhStill above the specialty averages, which run from ₹4,95,400 in general medicine to ₹13,78,300 in anaesthesiology [22]
1:4₹25 lakh₹20 lakhA fifth of the headline number is what actually meets the claim. For scale, ₹10 lakh was the most common sum insured across the 2000-2015 judgments in our sweep [24], and even that left doctors paying gaps personally [25]

Two features of that table survive any change to the assumption. First, the ordering never reverses — a lower ratio always leaves less, and no defence-cost assumption makes 1:4 competitive with 1:1 on a single claim. Second, the money is not restored afterwards. No PSU wording, and none from ICICI Lombard, IFFCO Tokio or IndusInd, reinstates the Any One Year aggregate once it is exhausted, and ICICI's wording refuses reinstatement even in exchange for additional premium [7,4,9,10,12,13].

And the multi-claim year that a low ratio is supposed to insure against is largely defined away before it starts: a claims-series clause at New India, National, Oriental, ICICI Lombard, IFFCO Tokio and IndusInd treats claims arising from one originating cause as a single claim made when the first was made, guillotined three years later [7,4,9,10,12,13]. One episode, one AOA — however many patients it involved.

The real-world version of this arithmetic is on the record. In a Kerala case, ₹10 lakh was awarded against a policy limit of ₹4.75 lakh; the insurer paid to the limit and the hospital and surgeon personally covered the ₹5.25 lakh gap [25]. That was a limit problem rather than a ratio problem, but the ratio is the fastest way to manufacture the same shortfall on a policy whose headline number looked adequate — and ₹10 lakh was the most common sum insured across the 2000-2015 judgments in our sweep [24].

5. Comparing two quotes when only one of them shows you a ratio

  • Convert the ratio to rupees on the spot. Ask for the Any One Accident figure as a number, not as a ratio, and put it beside the annual figure you are being sold. If the answer is not on the quote, the quote is incomplete.
  • Check the labels before you check the numbers. National writes Any One Occurrence and aggregate [4], Go Digit writes Each Occurrence and Aggregate with nothing behind it [3], HDFC ERGO writes Any one Incident and Any one Year. Same mechanic, four vocabularies — the labels are the reason side-by-side comparison usually fails.
  • Do not accept a broker's ratio as the insurer's. Generali Central's 1:1 is a broker statement about a product for which the insurer publishes no document at all [5,6][5].
  • Ask what defence costs do to it, knowing the answer is the same everywhere in India: they come out of the limit [7,8,4,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,3]. Then ask whether the excess also applies to them, because at three carriers it does [10][15][14].
  • Ask what happens after the aggregate is exhausted and get it in writing. At seven carriers, nothing happens — there is no reinstatement [7,4,9,10,12,13].
  • Check that the peril is covered before optimising the ratio. Tata AIG's published Professional Shield wording excludes Bodily Injury outright [15], and SBI General has no doctors' indemnity product at all [20]. A perfect ratio on a policy that does not respond to malpractice is worth nothing.

Every dimension of these policies, compared side by side, is in the master comparison; the document-integrity defects we found while reading the same paperwork are in document defects; and where each insurer lands overall is in the best and worst ranking of professional indemnity insurance for doctors.

Frequently asked questions

Which Indian insurers publish their AOA:AOY ratio menu?
Two. IndusInd publishes a full menu with the rupee bands attached — 1:1 for an Any One Accident limit between ₹1 lakh and ₹50 lakh, 1:2 to ₹25 lakh, 1:3 to ₹16.5 lakh and 1:4 to ₹12.5 lakh [1]. New India publishes the 1:1 to 1:4 menu and states that doctors keep the full range, unlike engineers, chartered accountants and lawyers [2]. Every other carrier we examined leaves the ratio to the schedule, and Go Digit's wording contains no ratio structure at all [3]. What the ratio itself does is explained in the AOA:AOY ratio explained.
Why does it matter that the ratio is only in the schedule?
Because the schedule is written after you have decided. A ratio set at quote time cannot be compared across insurers while you are still choosing between them, so the term that decides how much of your annual limit any one claim can draw is the one term you cannot shop on. It gets harder still when carriers use different labels for the same mechanic — National writes Any One Occurrence and aggregate rather than AOA and AOY [4], and Go Digit writes Each Occurrence and Aggregate with no menu behind it [3]. Two quotes can look different and be identical, or look identical and be nothing of the sort.
Does IndusInd publishing rupee bands mean it offers less cover?
It means you can see the constraint that other carriers do not show you. IndusInd's published bands — 1:1 available up to ₹50 lakh of AOA, 1:4 only up to ₹12.5 lakh — imply an annual limit of about ₹50 lakh at this carrier [1]. A carrier that publishes nothing may cap you in the same way without telling you until the schedule arrives. Note also that IndusInd does not insure plastic surgeons at all [1], and that its professional indemnity CIS carries marine-cargo boilerplate instructing the insured to notify "the Carriers, Port Authorities or other Bailees" [16]. Publishing a menu is one virtue, not a general one.
Does choosing 1:1 instead of 1:4 cost more?
No Indian insurer publishes a loading for it, which is itself the finding. The rate structure the public-sector insurers still visibly descend from charges a per-mille of the Any One Year limit — 0.5 for physicians, pathologists and radiologists, 2.0 for surgeons, 3.0 for plastic surgeons and anaesthetists [17][17][17][17,7,4,9] — so the premium is struck on the annual figure, the one a low ratio does not make available to any single claim. IndusInd's answer is to cap the AOA by band rather than to price the ratio [1]. The only carrier-published premium example in the market, Bajaj's ₹1,250 pathologist illustration, is written at 1:1 [18]. What doctors actually pay is on the cost page.
Do defence costs change what the ratio is worth?
Substantially, and in the same direction at every carrier. Defence costs are paid from inside the limit and never in addition to it across every Indian doctors' indemnity product we could verify [7,8,4,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,3], so the AOA is a single budget for damages and lawyers together. At ICICI Lombard, Tata AIG and Bajaj the excess is applied to defence spend as well [10][15][14], while New India and Oriental charge no compulsory excess at all [7,17][9,17] and United India charges 0.50% of the limit, minimum ₹5,000 and maximum ₹1,00,000 [21]. The carrier-by-carrier picture on that term is in compulsory excess compared.
If the ratio is not published, what should I ask the insurer for?
Ask for the ratio in writing before you accept the quote, ask what the Any One Accident figure works out to in rupees, and ask what happens when the annual aggregate is exhausted. On that last one the answer is already known: no PSU wording, and none from ICICI Lombard, IFFCO Tokio or IndusInd, reinstates the Any One Year limit once spent, and ICICI's wording refuses reinstatement even for additional premium [7,4,9,10,12,13]. Ask, too, whether several claims from one incident will be treated as one — at six carriers they are, under a claims-series clause guillotined three years after the first claim [7,4,9,10,12,13].
Is a low ratio ever the right choice?
Only for a practice whose realistic bad year is several moderate claims rather than one severe one, and the wordings work against even that case. A claims-series clause at New India, National, Oriental, ICICI Lombard, IFFCO Tokio and IndusInd collapses claims from a single originating cause into one claim sharing one AOA limit [7,4,9,10,12,13], which is precisely the multi-claim scenario a low ratio is sold to cover. Meanwhile the award record is dominated by single severe events — ₹1.38 crore and ₹1.1 crore at the top of the NCDRC's 2015-2019 caseload [22], ₹2 crore in a 2026 wrong-kidney order [23]. Sizing the underlying number is covered in how much cover you need.
Is ratio disclosure a good proxy for policy quality?
No, and it would be convenient if it were. New India publishes the fullest ratio menu in the market [2] while publishing neither wording nor prospectus nor CIS nor UIN on its own website [7,2]. HDFC ERGO Mediserve publishes no ratio at all yet is the only doctors' product with a complete public document set [11,19]. The two rankings measure different things — the full documentation audit is in the transparency ranking, and every dimension side by side is in the master comparison.
