Hi Sameer,

Solvency margin refers to the excess amount of asset the insurance company has to maintain over its liabilities. It works like the capital adequacy ratio of the bank. Basically, it is the amount the insurer has to stash away in order to pay the claims during emergency. IRDA requires the insurance companies to maintain a particular level of solvency margin for their smooth functioning.

However, it has its own pros and cons. It increases the operational cost of the insurance firms and also reduces their profits. You can find more about it in the following URL.
