LIC IPO is expected to kick off on March 11, 2022.
New Delhi: Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) is all set to kick off its big-ticket initial public offering (IPO), which is pegged to be the largest ever IPO in the history of Indian markets. According to media reports, LIC IPO will open for subscriptions on March 11 for anchor investors. For other types of investors, including retail investors, LIC IPO will open in the next few days.
LIC has previously pointed out that policyholders are required to link their PAN cards to become eligible for subscribing to LIC IPO. “A policyholder of our Corporation shall ensure that his / her PAN details are updated in the policy records of our Corporation at the earliest. A policyholder who has not updated his / her PAN details with our Corporation before the expiry of two weeks from the date of the filing of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI (i.e., by February 28, 2022) shall not be considered as an Eligible Policyholder,” LIC said in its statement.
LIC has filed the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) last week. The DRHP is filed ahead of the IPO and it outlines the company’s details and growth expectations.
The state-owned insurer is planning to sell a five per cent equity stake owned by the Indian government with the upcoming IPO, according to the DRHP document. Employees working LIC will receive IPO shares at a discounted price.
