LIC said, “We have completed 11,58,805 policies through this app during the year ended March 31st, 2024, as compared to 8,11,278 policies for the comparable period ending March 31st, 2023, thereby, registering a growth of 42.84 percent on year-on-year.”

LIC launched Ananda (Atma Nirbhar agent’s new business applications) in 2020, enabling agents to easily contact customers, input their information in the app, and share a payment link for premiums. Additionally, LIC announced intentions to venture into health insurance, aligning with the government’s aim to introduce composite licensing by amending the IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India) Act.
“We are selling health insurance products. Though these are not indemnity products, six benefit products, we are quite experienced. But looking at the scenario, this composite license for insurers can be a game-changer. So, we have done, we are doing some internal work ourselves to occupy some space in the health insurance segment.”
