The Modi government has decided to raise Rs 1.75 lakh crore in the 2021-22 financial year from the sale of shares in public sector undertakings and financial institutions. The news that LIC is selling its stake has caused a stir among policyholders. Many people consider it safe to invest in LIC. With this many people take those policies with confidence. LIC’s sales decision has provoked concerns among the company’s 250 million customers.
There was a heated debate over what effect the government’s decision would have on them. But experts say the government’s decision will have no effect on policyholders.
