The Modi government is planning to sell a 25% stake in LIC (Life Corporation Of India) in one or more tranches. Retail investors have much to cheer, thanks to IPO discount and bonus planned by the government. The Department of Financial Services (under the Finance Ministry) has released a draft cabinet note to the concerned ministries (like IRDA, NITI and SEBI) for the stake sale in LIC.
With this sale, the government is hoping to fill the huge budget gap, which has grown in the last few months because of the lockdown. The market borrowings will control the sink in revenues (due to lockdown) that has destroyed several businesses. LIC stake sale is expected to play a crucial role in the success of this strategy.
