Recent Plans By Finance Ministry 

Within the bid notice by the finance ministry of India, the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) said LIC needs to build up an Indian Embedded Value (IEV) announcing system for vital revelations for the proposed Initial Public Offering (IPO). The installed esteem is a typical valuation measure used to gauge the merged estimation of investors’ interest in an insurance agency. 

The Request for Proposal has been given to look for proposition/offers from reputed and qualified actuarial firms to work with LIC to “create IEV in accordance with the prerequisites of the important Acts and guidelines, Actuarial Practice Standards and direction notes gave by the Institute of Actuaries of India and LIC Act, 1956, and to offer help during the IPO cycle”, it said. The last date or deadline for submission of bids is December 8. 

The public authority or our very own government has recently also planned to gather Rs 2.10 lakh crore from stake deals this fiscal. This incorporates Rs 1.20 lakh crore from CPSE disinvestment and Rs 90,000 crore from selling a stake in budgetary institutions. So far this fiscal, the government of India has been successful in cleaning up Rs 6,138 crore from CPSE disinvestment.
