Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has been offering insurance coverage in India for more than 65 years. It is the biggest life insurance company in India, with a 64.1 per cent market share in terms of premiums (or GWP), a 66.2 per cent market share in terms of New Business Premium (or NBP), a 74.6 per cent market share in terms of individual policies issued, and an 81.1 per cent market share in terms of group policies issued for Fiscal 2021.
According to Brand Finance’s “Insurance 100 2021 study,” the Corporation’s brand, LIC, was ranked as the third most powerful and tenth most valuable worldwide insurance brand. On the other hand, according to the CRISIL Report, LIC had the biggest gap in market share by life insurance GWP compared to the second-largest insurance company in India when related to the leading companies in the top seven markets internationally (in 2020 for the other companies in Fiscal 2021 for LIC).
According to CRISIL, this is due to the Corporation’s huge agent network, strong track record, tremendous faith in the brand LIC, and 65-year history. As of September 30, 2021, LIC was the largest fund manager in India, with a self-contained AUM (consisting of policyholders’ investment, shareholders’ investment, and assets held to fund connected financial commitments) of 39,558,929.24 million, which was more than 3.3 times the total AUM of all personal life insurance companies in India. On September 1, 1956, the organisation was founded by combining and nationalising 245 private life insurance firms throughout India, with an initial capital of 50.00 million.
