LIC @ 70
Life Insurance Corporation of India is completing its 70 years of purposeful existence today and will march ahead with greater conviction and commitment to strengthen the Indian insurance market. With 14.57 lakh agents and 82,000 employees, LIC stands as one of the tallest financial institutions in the world. In its incredible journey, there have been umpteen milestones. With ₹57.29 lakh crore AUM at its command, LIC settles 99.44% of death claims—a core activity in insurance industry—, which is a record performance for any company in the world. Being present at 3,714 locations, LIC covers 92% of Indian districts spanning across 36 states and Union Territories. LIC is an institution that has left no stone unturned in making itself available to policyholders through digital platforms. It has transcended insurance through its LIC Golden Jubilee Foundation, which has helped thousands of people. LET INDIA BE PROUD OF LIC AND WHAT THE FOUNDING PRIME MINISTER HAD VISUALISED ABOUT IT.

Need for Inclusion of details of Valuation Surplus in LIC Annual Report
From: Colinjivadi Mahadevan <chmahadevan@gmail.com>

Subject: Need for Inclusion of details of Valuation Surplus in LIC Annual Report
To: <chairman@sebi.gov.in>
Cc: : <chairman@irda.gov.in>, <chairman@licindia.com>
1) Till a few years ago , the valuation surplus emerging at the end of the financial year was being published in the Annual Reports. But during the last two years or more, the details of the valuation surplus are not finding a place in the Annual Reports. In fact Shareholders are entitled to receive 10% of the valuation par surplus and 100% of non-par valuation surplus. So Annual Reports should necessarily contain the details of par and non-par surplus that emerge out of every annual actuarial valuation. When I sought the information under RTI, LIC declined to furnish the information. Why are these details omitted from publication in the Annual Report?
I got a reply from LIC as follows:
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Actuarial, Finance and Investment Functions of Insurers) Regulations, 2024 and other regulations extant applicable to the Corporation does not mandate the disclosure of Valuation Surplus in the Annual Reports. Hence, the same is not disclosed in the Annual Reports of the Corporation.
My suggestion:
Valuation Surplus is an important item in the accounts of LIC in which Policyholders and Shareholders are stakeholders.Earlier the details were published in the LIC Annual Reports when the Central Government was having 10٪ shareholding in the Corporation.Now after two tranches of public offers,the public shareholding is 10% with the remaining 90% shares being held by the Central Government. So, in my opinion, there is a need for disclosure of the Valuation Surplus for par policies and non par policies with clear indication of quantum of entitlement of respective shares of Policyholders and Shareholders.This is important for the sake of transparency towards the stakeholders.
I request you to kindly consider my suggestion as above and advise LIC suitably as you may deem proper.
Thanking you,
