The customer base of LIC is nearly 6 times the population of the United Kingdom. and with more than 280 million policies, it is the fifth largest insurer in the world in terms of insurance premium collection as of 2020. and today LIC is not just insurer but a nation builder, an employment generator and a critical financial conglomerate of India!!
