Of the individuals was <keyword id="6367143" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lic" source="Orion">LIC</keyword>'s employee Yogesh Garg since November 08, 2011. The rest are Sarita Garg, Kamlesh Agarwal, Ved Prakash HUF, and Sarita Garg HUF. Also, SEBI impounded Rs 2.44 crore in total from their accounts. SEBI's interim order on Thursday said the entities shall cease and desist from, directly or indirectly, engaging in any fraudulent, manipulative or unfair trade practice including front running thereby committing or causing a violation of any provisions under relevant laws. "...it is prima facie concluded that Noticees 1 to 5 (five entities) were involved in a scheme to front run the trades of the Big Client and therefore they are prima facie jointly and severally liable for the proceeds generated from the front running trades," the SEBI order read. It was prima facie observed that Yogesh Garg, being a dealer in LIC, was in possession of non-public information regarding impending orders of LIC and he acted as an information carrier. SEBI concluded that these five entities had a distinct role to play in the fraudulent scheme devised for front-running the orders of LIC. The entities are now directed to provide a full inventory of all assets held in their name, whether movable or immovable or any interest or investment or charge on any of such assets, including details of all bank accounts, <keyword id="104763" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="demat" source="Orion">Demat</keyword> accounts and mutual fund investments, immediately but not later than 15 days.

This deal is going to be the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Indias-biggest-deal-worth-Rs-72800-crores-Essar-oil-sellsto-Russias-Rosneft/articleshow/54877758.cms">largest FDI inflow</a> in India. 
 
“The agreement of the loan that <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/LIC-gearing-up-to-give-tough-fight-to-private-insurers-Know-how/articleshow/47628777.cms">LIC</a> had given to Essar Oil requires its consent for change of management,” an LIC spokesman told ET. "We had received proposal from group companies for flexible restructuring and it was decided before considering (the) proposal... the company has to clear all the dues (sic)," the official added. 
 The loan outstanding to Essar Oil is worth $125 million, while its exposure to <keyword id="6440383" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Essar-Power">Essar Power</keyword> is around Rs 1,500 crore.

Now that LIC has taken a stand, it remains to be seen whether the all-cash transaction gets all the necessary approvals before the end of this fiscal. 
 Industry experts are of the view that the reason behind LIC's unusually tough attitude could be that once the deal with <keyword id="174417" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Rosneft">Rosneft</keyword> goes through, it could be difficult to recover the loan amount.

Paying off $125 million to LIC and another $44 million to some of the government-owned general <keyword id="35450" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="insurance">insurance</keyword> companies is not exactly a big deal. But LIC would be a loser if only the Essar Oil loan is paid back...the company is making money and may have a ratings upgrade once the deal closes. That would be losing a good asset," a senior banker familiar with the negotiations told ET.

The long pending wage revision talks between the General Insurers' (Public Sector) Association of India (GIPSA) and the various employee unions have begun in a bad taste. The talks were held on Wednesday. The GIPSA, the lobby body for the four government owned multiline non-life insurers and the General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC Re) made their offer that was expected to be rejected and the unions rejected the same. The wage revision for the public sector general insurance employees was due from August 1, 2017. "The GIPSA offered seven per cent hike on the wage bill (without any wage arrears from 2017) or five per cent wage hike with two per cent of arrears," Sanjay Jha, Secretary Standing committee (General Insurance, All India Insurance Employees Association-AIIEA), told IANS. Jha said the AIIEA and other unions have rejected the 'disappointing' offer. According to him, the Joint Forum of Trade Unions and Associations will hold demonstrations during the lunch recess demanding a respectable wage offer maintaining insurance sector parity. "The financial position of the companies in 2017 was good. There is no reason for the management to make such an offer. Perhaps it is done to delay the wage revision further," said Vijay Sharma, President, National Confederation of General Insurance Officers Association (CONFED) and All India President of New India Assurance Officers Association. Sharma said the employees expect at least a 15 per cent hike offer, similar to what was given to the employees of Life Insurance Corporation of India.

PSU insurance unions angry with the 7% salary hike offer, seek LIC-like hikes

Listing of <keyword id="6365973" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="life-insurance-corporation">Life Insurance Corporation</keyword> (LIC) and sale of government's stake in IDBI Bank may be delayed beyond March 2021, due to depressed valuation amid COVID-19 pandemic. The government aims to garner Rs 90,000 crore from the listing of LIC and stake dilution in IDBI Bank out of total the disinvestment target of Rs 2.10 lakh crore during the current fiscal. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman while presenting the Budget 2020-21 had announced stake sale in LIC through an initial public offer in the current financial year. <div type="Youtube" id="WYbWln2KsuA" title="Budget 2020: LIC to get Privatised" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WYbWln2KsuA/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Given the prevailing market situation, it seems to be difficult to do the LIC stake sale in the current fiscal as the situation is not conducive, sources said. Besides, they said, there will not be a matching appetite for the mega issue of LIC in the present market condition. Due to COVID situation, the government recently for the second time extended the deadline for bidding for privatisation of India's second-biggest oil marketing company Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) by over a month to July 31. The government currently owns 100 per cent in LIC, while it holds around a 46.5 per cent stake in IDBI Bank. The sources said, the government will have to cut down its expected realisation from stake dilution of both LIC and IDBI Bank even if the market condition improves. So, selling them at low valuation would be an imprudent decision, they added. Besides valuation, the sources said, listing of LIC involves a lot of regulatory clearances and more importantly amendment to the LIC Act itself. Market participants had already termed the listing of insurance behemoth LIC as IPO of the decade akin to the Saudi Aramco listing. The 60-year-old state-owned firm, LIC is the country's largest insurer, controlling more than 70 per cent of the market share. The insurer has a market share of 76.28 per cent in number of policies and 71 per cent in first-year premiums. LIC has many subsidiaries, including IDBI Bank. Turning the corner, IDBI Bank on Saturday posted a profit of Rs 135 crore for the March quarter on account of recoveries from bad loans. The lender reported a profit after 13 straight quarters of net losses. The bank had posted a net loss of Rs 4,918 crore in the corresponding period of last year. In January 2019, LIC completed acquisition of 51 per cent controlling stake in the lender. The state-owned life insurer infused Rs 21,624 crore into the bank. The bank, which is under the Reserve Bank of India's prompt corrective action (PCA) framework, said it has achieved all PCA parameters for exit except return on asset.

The wage revision is effective from 1.8.2017. "The employees are happy with the wage revision that has come at a difficult situation. The pay hike for the employees is expected to be over 25 per cent per month," <keyword id="11107200" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="shreekant-mishra">Shreekant Mishra</keyword>, General Secretary, <keyword id="699829" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="All-India-Insurance-Employees-Association">All India Insurance Employees Association</keyword> (AIIEA) told IANS. He said a loading of 15 per cent has been given after 100 per cent neutralization of dearness allowance (DA) at 6,352 points of consumer price index (CPI). An additional Special Allowance ranging between ₹1,500 to ₹13,500 per month has been introduced for all cadres, which shall be reckoned for the purpose of calculation of dearness allowance (DA) but will not count for any other purpose i.e. house rent allowance, city compensatory allowance, privilege leave encashment, gratuity, superannuation benefit and others. Mishra said the overall increase in LIC's total wage bill will be about ₹2,700 crore per year. Mishra also said it will be five day week for LIC employees. "In the first round, the management offered 10 per cent wage hike and it was revised upwards in the second round to 15 per cent. We said the offer does not meet our expectations," Mishra said. According to Mishra, the 15 per cent wage hike offer was made on September 30, 2020 and the first offer of 10 per cent hike was made in March 2019. "We were having regular discussions with the management on the wage revision," Mishra said. The AIIEA had submitted a charter demanding 40 per cent wage hike. In the last wage agreement, the hike given was 25 per cent at average. Mishra said the unions next focus is to conclude wage revision for the employees of the government companies in the general insurance sector. The management of the four government owned general insurance companies are yet to call a meeting of the unions there for wage revision talks, he added.
