Dear Mr Asthana,

Chairman and Managing Directors are whole time officers of LIC and it has been confirmed by The Government of India in a reply to a RTI query made by Mr C S Murty in 2014.Only their appointment is made by the Central Government.Please refer to Appendix I Of the updated LIC Pension Rules 1995.They are appointed by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet.their scales of pay are fixed on par with that of the Special Secretary and Additional Secretary respectively.But all the same,they are only employees of the Corporation governed by LIC Pension Rules 1995.

If they are not whole time employees of LIC,they would not have been mentioned in Rule 2( j ), Rule 55 B and Appendix I.

I cannot try to convince you beyond this.

Kind regards.
