About Life Insurance Corporation of India
History of LIC
Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) started its journey in 1956 when 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies were nationalised by the central government. Thereafter, the LIC was formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956. Its objective was to enhance the reach of life insurance, especially in rural areas. In addition to the LIC Act, 1956, the company’s operations are also subject to the provisions under the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999. In 1989, an associate company recognised as LIC Housing Finance Ltd. was set up. The LIC Mutual Fund was created as a trust in the same year. In 1995, the company also launched the Rural Group Life Insurance Plan. It began its operations in Qatar and Nepal in 1999 and 2000. In 2002, the company’s first Info Centre was inaugurated in Mumbai and call centres were set up in 8 locations across the country. In 2006, LIC established its Golden Jubilee Foundation to support projects such as the construction of hospitals, schools, old age homes, etc. and provide scholarships to meritorious students from marginalised communities. In 2020, LIC was designated as a Domestic Systemically Important Insurer (D-SII). The LIC IPO took place in 2022 and the shares were listed on BSE and NSE on May 17, 2022. LIC is the largest insurance company in India and has a majority share in the market, in terms of both new and overall premiums earned every year. It is also the largest asset manager in India. Its investments in listed stocks account for more than 4% of the total market capitalisation of all the stocks on the NSE.
