10% shares will be reserved for policy holders
Meanwhile, Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) Secretary Tuheen Kant Pandey said in a special conversation with the Times of India that when LIC’s IPO will be issued, we have decided to make policy holders investors. For this, the department has considered keeping reserves for 10 percent share policy holders. Tuheen Kant Pandey said that after the economic reform of 1991, the government has taken a big decision. The government has now decided to open all non-strategic sectors for disinvestment and privatization. If you understand in easy terms, now the steel sector can be privatized as and when required.
1 crore new demat accounts will open
According to the Zee Business report, the government believes that at least 1 crore new demat accounts will be opened in the market before LIC’s IPO. All these will be retail investors and they have LIC policy. These investors want to take advantage of the reservation policy. At present, there are about 45 million demat accounts in the country.
