Asian life insurance giant, the <keyword id="6368369" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="life-insurance-corporation-of-india" source="Orion">Life Insurance Corporation of India</keyword> on Thursday said its Indian Embedded Value (<keyword id="3408788" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="iev" source="Orion">IEV</keyword>) as on March 31, 2022 was Rs 541,942 crore. The embedded value in the case of a life insurance company is the current value of the company's future profits. According to <keyword id="6367143" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="lic" source="Orion">LIC</keyword> officials, the IEV has been determined at Rs 541,492 crore (Rs 5,414.9 billion) as compared to Rs 95,605 crore (Rs 956 billion) as on March 31, 2021 and Rs 539,686 crore (Rs 5,397 billion) as on September 30, 2021. Officials said the volatility in the stock market has impacted the LIC's investment market value to the tune of Rs 40,000 crore which, in turn, had its impact on IEV. According to the officials, the Rs 40,000 crore reduction in the market value of its investment was in both equity and debt segments of the market. The IEV as of September 30, 2021 was significantly higher than the IEV of March 2021 due to the bifurcation of fund that was carried out by LIC pursuant to changes in the <keyword id="7922368" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lic-act" source="Orion">LIC Act</keyword> during the FY 2021-22. The LIC Board on January 8, 2022 had approved bifurcation of the single fund into separate Participating and Non-Participating funds and the effect of such bifurcation has been reflected in the Financials as at March 31, 2022. The life insurer had engaged <keyword id="14454797" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="milliman-advisors-llp" source="Orion">Milliman Advisors LLP</keyword> for arriving at the embedded value. On Thursday the LIC's Board accepted <keyword id="1417479" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="milliman" source="Orion">Milliman</keyword>'s IEV report. LIC Chairman M.R. Kumar said the valuation of IEV took some time to get completed. On the LIC's decision to publish the embedded value once in six months - in March and September - Kumar said it is in line with the industry practice. Further, determining the embedded value of a life insurance company of LIC size with about 28 crore policies is a time consuming and elaborate process, officials added. The Value of New Business (VNB) for year ended March 31, 2022 has been determined to be Rs 7,619 crore (Rs 76.19 billion) as compared to Rs 4,167 crore (Rs 41.67 billion) for the year ended March 31, 2021. Also, the VNB for the six-month period ended September 30, 2021 was Rs 1,583 crore (Rs 15.83 billion). The VNB margin, for the year ended March 31, 2022 is 15.1 per cent as compared to 9.9 per cent for the year ended March 31, 2021. Officials said the VNB margin went up owing to change in business mix like the group business going up to 29 per cent from 24 per cent. The ROEV (Return on embedded value) for March 21, 2022 is 11.9 per cent as compared to 36.9 per cent for March 2021.

Not only policyholders, employees of the insurance company also have a quote for themselves with 5% of issue size reservation. “Policyholders may get a 10% discount on issue price,” Anshuman Khanna, Director at Value Prolific Consulting Services (ValPro) told Business Insider. Suppose the issue price of LIC IPO is ₹1,500 then the policyholder may get at ₹1,350 per share, which will give them an additional upside, said Khanna. Cap on investment Investors holding LIC policy cannot exceed their investment more than ₹2 lakh as most of such investors also come under the retail category. Such investors can bid under the ‘Policyholder Reservation Portion’ through the applications supported by blocked amount (ASBA) and the UPI mechanism. Mandatory to link PAN and have a demat account Only policyholders who have updated their PAN by February 28, 2022 can apply under policyholder's quota. Process to link your PAN details with the LIC: <ul><li>Visit LIC website <a href="http://www.licindia.in/">www.licindia.in</a> OR <a href="https://licindia.in/Home/Online-PAN-Registration">https://licindia.in/Home/Online-PAN-Registration</a></li><li>Keep your policy number ready, PAN, date of birth and e-mail ID, which needs to be filled in while updating your PAN.</li><li>You may update the records for all of your LIC policies using the above link.</li><li>You can also check whether your PAN Is registered in your policy or not by visiting the Corporation's website <a href="http://www.licindia.in/">www.licindia.in</a> OR <a href="https://linkpan.licindia.in/UIDSeedingWebApp/getPolicyPANStatus">https://linkpan.licindia.in/UIDSeedingWebApp/getPolicyPANStatus</a>?</li><li>Alternatively, you may also contact your LIC Agent for assistance.</li></ul>Joint life policy holders If you own a joint policy of LIC, then only one of the policy members can apply under the ‘Policyholder Reservation Portion’ category.

The government has appointed 10 merchant bankers including Goldman Sachs (India) Securities, Citigroup Global Markets India, and Nomura Financial Advisory and Securities India to manage the mega initial pub<keyword id="6367143" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lic" source="Orion">lic</keyword> offering of country's largest insurer LIC. Other selected bankers include SBI Capital Market, JM Financial, Axis Capital, BofA Securities, JP Morgan India, ICICI Securities, and Kotak Mahindra Capital Co Ltd, a circular on the divestment department website said. "Government has finalised the book running lead managers and some other advisors for the <keyword id="8699517" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ipo-of-lic" source="Orion">IPO of LIC</keyword>," DIPAM Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey tweeted. The disinvestment department had invited applications for the appointment of merchant bankers on July 15. Following this, 16 merchant bankers made presentations for managing listing and partial disinvestment of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). The Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) is also in the process of appointing a legal adviser for the stake sale and the last date for putting bids is September 16. Actuarial firm Milliman Advisors LLP India has already been appointed to assess the embedded value of LIC ahead of the IPO, which is likely in the January-March quarter of 2022. The government is also mulling allowing foreign investors to pick up stakes in the country's largest insurer LIC. As per Sebi (Securities and Exchange Board of India) rules, foreign portfolio investors (FPI) are permitted to buy shares in a public offer. However, since the LIC Act has no provision for foreign investments, there is a need to align the proposed <keyword id="7922409" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lic-ipo" source="Orion">LIC IPO</keyword> with Sebi norms regarding foreign investor participation. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had last month cleared the initial public offering proposal of Life Insurance Corp of India. The ministerial panel known as the Alternative Mechanism on strategic disinvestment will now decide on the quantum of stake to be divested by the government. "The potential size of the IPO is expected to be far larger than any precedent in Indian markets," the department had said. The listing of LIC will be crucial for the government in meeting its disinvestment target of Rs 1.75 lakh crore for 2021-22 (April-March). So far this financial year, Rs 8,368 crore has been mopped up through minority stake sales in PSU and the sale of SUUTI (Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India) stake in Axis Bank.

LIC IPO: Government picks 10 merchant bankers including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup Global and Nomura

The much-anticipated IPO of public sector insurer Life Insurance Corp of India (LIC) may well lend more sparkle to the Indian stock markets this Diwali. Speaking to IANS, <keyword id="44532" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Disinvestment">Disinvestment</keyword> Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey noted the fact that LIC is a complex undertaking but the government is up to the challenge and will complete the market offering post October. "It may happen after October... around Diwali," Pandey said in the interview. He added that the government has already initiated its plan to clear all incumbrances on way of LIC IPO. In this regard, he said that the amendment required for the IPO has already been included as part of the Finance Bill, 2021 and will become effective once <keyword id="6354721" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="parliament">Parliament</keyword> gives its nod to the <keyword id="6360189" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="union-budget">Union Budget</keyword>. Presenting the Union Budget on Monday, Finance Minister <keyword id="129243" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nirmala-Sitharaman">Nirmala Sitharaman</keyword> said that all the announced disinvestment proposals including the LIC IPO would be completed this fiscal. She had first made the mega announcement of the IPO in the last year's budget. On the size of the <keyword id="8843196" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="LIC-Offer">LIC offer</keyword>, Pandey said that the amount of shares to be offered in the initial public offering (IPO) would depend on the embedded value and the size. The valuation process is underway for the insurance giant. "This is an institution in which people have trusted and we don't want to break their trust. We have even asked them to be the owners (shareholders)." Pandey said that Amendment Act reserves 10 per cent of the total shares on the block for policy-holders. Regarding the requirement of listed public sector companies to achieve minimum public shareholding of 25 per cent, he said that a new rule is in the making for large PSUs having high valuations. A rule notified in 2018 had mandated every listed PSU, which has public shareholding below 25 per cent, to increase its public shareholding to at least 25 per cent, within a period of two years from the date of that notification -- August 3, 2018. The government has however extended the time period for compliance to the norm till August 2021. Currently, the government totally owns LIC and its valuation is expected to be in the range of Rs 8-10 lakh crore. Once LIC enters the stock market, it may be the largest IPO in Indian history, even if just 5 per cent of its paid-up equity capital is offered to the public. The top five IPOs in India so far are Coal India, Reliance Power, General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re), ONGC and SBI Cards and Payment Services. Each of these have been in the vicinity of Rs 10,000 crore. The Secretary for the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) also said that the government's core focus in terms of disinvestment will be strategic sale and the major chunk of revenue from offer of shares on the stock markets, be it an IPO or offer for sale (OFS) would come from the LIC IPO.

Shishir Mankad, managing partner and head of financial services at Praxis Global Alliance, told Business Insider that this would include both direct and indirect employment opportunities across verticals — technology as well as functional roles in product design and analytics, customer journey design, automation as well as fulfillment roles in sales and distribution, claims processing and more. The segment is expected to generate part-time earning opportunities for another 2-3 million people in the same time frame, Mankad added. Meanwhile, Shwetank Verma, co-founder of Indian Insurtech Association and founder of investment firm <keyword id="6403908" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="leo-capital" source="Orion">Leo Capital</keyword>, in an email interaction with Business Insider said that the online insurance sellers in India are expected to double their premium by 2025 and create over a lakh direct jobs. “The insurance distribution in India has been changing in a very different way. There was a time when distribution was largely a feet on street model. LIC [Life Insurance Corporation] alone has roughly 1.5 million agents and the rest of the industry put together nearly another 0.5 million. There are a similar number of executives working as employees in the industry. However, over the past 5 to 7 years attempts, have been made to create digital distribution infrastructure. These efforts will increase in the next few years,” Sanjib Jha, chief executive of Coverfox said. Indian online insurance players include initial public offering (IPO)-bound <keyword id="696009" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="policybazaar" source="Orion">PolicyBazaar</keyword>, Digit Insurance, BankBazaar, Coverfox and others. ACKO General Insurance is one of the startups that issues their own insurance policies instead of being a third-party seller. <keyword id="3067182" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dexter-capital" source="Orion">Dexter Capital</keyword>’s founder Devendra Agrawal, in an email interaction with Business Insider, noted that the Indian insurtech segment is a very large subsector of fintech and is largely dominated by traditional companies. There is very little innovation and user friendliness in the current offering, but there is scope for greater innovation as more startups emerge in the segment. He added that the new insurtech segment is likely to focus on three things. First, new product launches. Second, a more user-friendly interface and processes. Third, newer models would be introduced when it comes to insurance selling. Shwetank Verma of Indian Insurtech Association reflected a similar view, highlighting that there is a lot of scope for innovation in the insurtech sector and new categories like cyber insurance, <a href="https://content.naic.org/cipr_topics/topic_parametric_disaster_insurance.htm">parametric insurance </a>— a non-traditional insurance product that offers pre-specified payouts based upon a trigger event — and would gain more traction this decade by 2030. “Most of the insurtech action has been in terms of distribution of policies and a couple of insurers who are digital-first. While these categories will certainly see growth, our view is that the sector is at a tipping point. We expect to see a lot more action on other parts of the insurance value chain, be it underwriting or risk management or claims processing, or product design such as micro-insurance or embedded products,” Mankad of Praxis Global Alliance said. Even as the Indian insurtech sector progresses, health, auto and life insurance will continue to be the major chunk of insurance sales both online and offline, as per industry experts.
