if the internal tables defined are having the same structure then you can compare the way you did.

if itab1[] = itab2[].
 "they are same
else.
 " they are not equal
endif.

if they are not working means the two internal tables may be different check in debug mode once and see.

loop at itab1 into wa_itab1.
  read table itab2 into wa_itab2 with key NRIC = wa_itab1.
     if sy-subrc eq 0.
           Delete itab1 index sy-index.  " or
           Delete itab2 index sy-index.
     endif.
endloop.
