The Initial Public Offering (IPO) from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has been one of the most keenly awaited financial events in 2022. Likely to open on 4 May 2022, the LIC IPO is easily going to be the biggest IPO India has ever seen and likely to be one of the largest in the global insurance industry.

As with all IPOs, the LIC IPO will have the usual investor categories such as retail individual, non-institutional investor, qualified institutional bidder, and anchor investor. However, it will also have another interesting category – policyholders. Yes, anyone who holds a LIC policy or scheme will be entitled to apply for LIC share allotment under a separate category.

The numbers behind LIC’s IPO Since LIC has two-thirds of the Indian market share, it is very likely that you will have a LIC policy. If so, you should definitely find out how you can invest in LIC in 2022. If a preference in share allotment is not attractive enough, let us also look at the sheer size of LIC and its IPO for good measure.

• With over 3000 offices across the country and nearly 30 crore policies, LIC is expected to be valued at around Rs 8-10 trillion.
• Even a sale of 5% of its value is enough to make it the largest IPO in India.
• The insurance major holds assets to the tune of $511 billion and has over 100,000 employees and 1.2 million agents.

It has time and again bailed out struggling state-owned businesses. Over the past year, investors have shown a keen interest in IPOs. More than $10 billion was raised through IPOs in India till October 2021. More interest is expected to be generated when a pan-Indian brand like LIC goes public.

How LIC policyholders can apply? The government has earmarked 10% of the issue size to LIC policyholders. If you are one, you can apply under the policyholder category as well as the retail investor category. Later, you can pick one allotment out of the two applications.

There will be an individual investment limit of Rs 2 lakh under the policyholder category. There are expectations of even a discount on the base price under this category. Getting an allotment under your IPO application is not a given. In most oversubscribed IPOs, applicants either see their applications rejected or allotments made on a pro-rata basis only.

What is required to apply for LIC IPO?

With the LIC IPO likely to open in the first half of March 2022, so as to enable LIC to list before the end of March, grand plans are already afoot. One of the important drivers for LIC IPO subscription will be the over 24 crore policyholders of LIC. For generations, LIC was the first port of call to put surplus money as soon as a young man or woman started earning.

This has created a brand that is not only top-of-the-mind but also recognizable and almost synonymous with trust and long term commitment. Being one of their largest captive customer base, LIC is obviously offering extended privileges to its policyholders in the form of an assured quota of 10%, discounted price for policyholders and a very simple and elegant IPO process flow.

The level of interest and enthusiasm among policyholders is quite high when it comes to investing in the LIC IPO.1. Demat account is mandatory to apply for LIC IPO Under the extant SEBI guidelines, any cash market investment, whether in IPOs or in the secondary markets has to be mandatorily done through a demat account with a registered depository participant (DP) only.

1. Such DPs can be either affiliated to the NSDL or CDSL.
2. There will be no issue of shares of LIC IPO in physical form, so demat account is a must.2.
3. Is demat account sufficient or trading account is also a must? Currently, the trading account is used to execute orders in equities, futures and options while demat account holds your assets like IPOs, secondary market equities, ETFs, bonds etc.

For applying for an IPO, only demat account is mandatory, not trading account. However, you do need a trading account for selling the shares. Nowadays, brokers open trading cum demat account, so as well open both accounts simultaneously.3. Conditions for policyholder eligibility and lock-in period To be eligible for applying in the LIC policyholder quota, the individual investor must be an existing policyholder of an active LIC policy with ideally all premiums regularly paid.

This quota will only apply to the individual policyholders of LIC. This quota does not come with any lock-in period so investors are technically free to sell even on the day of listing.4. Minimum and maximum investment sizes for LIC IPO There will be a minimum number of equity shares to be applied under the offer in all categories and the retail lot size will be applicable for the LIC IPO policyholder quota also.

Applications can be made in the minimum lot size and in multiples thereof. The maximum investment will be subscribed by the retail quota of Rs.200,000 applicable currently.5. Can policyholders apply under NII / RIB quota beyond Rs.2 lakhs? The maximum bid amount is limited to Rs.200,000 for the policyholder quota.

1. However, eligible policyholders can also apply for equity shares under the Non-Institutional Bidders category for additional amount of up to Rs.200,000 or even beyond that.
2. The quantum of policyholder discount is yet to be decided.6.
3. Applying for the LIC IPO in the case of joint policies In the case of joint policies, any one of the joint applicants can apply for equity shares under the Policyholder Reservation Portion category.

However, prior to that, the PAN number of the applicant bidding in the offer must be updated in the policy records. The applicant must also have a demat account and in the case of joint accounts, the applicant must be first holder. Only persons residing in India at the time of the IPO can invest in this quota.7.

Lapsed policies and eligibility for policyholder quota in IPO Any policy that has not exited the records of LIC due to routine reasons like maturity, surrender or death of the policyholder can still avail reservation under Policyholder Reservation Quota. However, in the case of lapsed policies, you need to first check with LIC office if the policy is still in the records or whether it has been removed.

For new policies, such policies must have been issued before the date of filing of the DRHP.8. Linking PAN to the LIC Policy This is perhaps the most important step to be eligible for applying in the Policyholder quota for the LIC IPO. LIC has provided a simple and elegant option on the LIC website i.e.

Https://linkpan.licindia.in/UIDSeedingWebApp/ to update PAN. You need to update PAN number, policy number, mobile number and email ID at the interface. In case you are not able to do it online, you can even approach the nearest LIC office to update the records with your PAN number. Ensure that the PAN is the same as the one being used for applying in the IPO.

It is captcha based and also OTP verification based.9. Updating KYC details of the LIC Policy To be eligible for smooth application and allotment under the policyholder quota, the KYC details of the LIC policy must be updated. This includes updating of address, contact number, email id etc.

Even the updating of KYC details pertaining to your LIC policies can be done on the LIC website i.e. https://licindia.in itself. In such cases, latest documents must also be uploaded to support KYC updates. Once LIC verifies the documents, the details are updated in the LIC policy master.10. Unsure of whether you have linked LIC policy and PAN Before applying for the IPO, it is always a good idea to thoroughly verify that the linking of PAN and your policy document is already done.

This status can be checked on the LIC website at https://linkpan.licindia.in/UIDSeedingWebApp/getPolicyPANStatus by submitting basic details like policy number, date of birth, PAN number and the captcha code. Once it is verified, you can be doubly sure that you are all set to go ahead with the PAN based application for the LIC IPO under policyholder quota.11.

Applying for LIC policyholder quota, if you don’t have PAN PAN card is mandatory for you to be eligible to apply under the policyholder quota for the LIC IPO. Hence, if you have not yet applied for PAN card, you can do so online right away either at UTITSL or at NSDL links. In case you need the PAN to be issue quickly, you can apply online for e-PAN.

Please note that LIC will not accept applications where valid 10-digit PAN number is not updated. In all these endeavours, you can also seek the help of LIC agents.12. Eligibility of group policies for policyholder quota All individual policies, other than group policies, will qualify for bidding in the Policyholder Reservation Portion.

• This also applies to annuities which have already commenced as of the date of filing the DRHP.
• However, if you are just the beneficiary of the policy after the death of the policyholder, then you are not eligible to apply in the policyholder quota.13.Guarantee of allotment in the policyholder quota There is no guarantee of allotment in the policyholder quota.

The DIPAM has indicated that around 10% of the total offer size would be reserved for eligible policyholders. However, the allotment within this policyholder will be subject to competitive bidding and will depend on the demand in the bidding process. Oversubscription will result in proportionate allotment.14.Minimum policy size, minimum premium requirement for IPO eligibility As per the DRHP filed for LIC IPO, all eligible policyholders irrespective of the premium amount or sum assured or the number of policies held will be treated at par.

A person with a single policy and paying a small premium and another person with a large number of policies and paying a hefty premium, will both be treated at par. In both cases, the equity shares under the policyholder quota will be allotted on a competitive bidding basis only.15. Last date for updating the PAN in policy records There has been no last date that has been communicated for updating the PAN number in the policy document.

However, it is suggested that it is done at the earliest to avoid last minute rush where typical server problems and traffic related issues could delay your updating of PAN.

Should I stay invested in LIC IPO?

“Those who have invested, those who have come to the markets for the first time through this IPO have no reason to panic. Maybe a year or two down the lane, they would definitely see some kind of returns on this stock because the business also picks up in the coming years as Covid restrictions go away.” – ETMarkets.com “Stay invested. Maybe the listing excitement is not there, but that really does not mean that it is the end of the story,” says Digant Haria, Co-Partner, GreenEdge Wealth, after the listing of the LIC stock. We have been discussing LIC IPO ever since a proposal to go public came through.

• Despite being priced at a reasonable level at Rs 950, LIC has listed below that at Rs 862.2, a discount of nearly 9%, on BSE.
• It feels slightly disappointing? Of course nobody likes losing money on the stocks they have just bought, but I think that is the flavour of the market.
• The way the market has been in the last one month or post the Ukraine-Russia tensions, that is the case with almost everything in the stock markets.

Anybody who buys a stock, sees it is down in the next 10-15 days. I think the same has unfortunately happened with LIC. I think LIC will be a very good company but when you come to get listed in the stock markets, you are subject to the same force of liquidity and whatever happens in the short term.

• It is disappointing for sure but the good part is that policyholders are still in the money and once the euphoria in markets subside,s it is always back to basics back to business.
• As LIC’s business mix changes over time and as it reports better numbers or sales figures, and as the analyst and the investor community can understand its numbers and disclosures the better, it takes time for this stock to deliver returns.

But that is how the game of stock market is. What is the way forward? Do you think those who got the allocation at Rs 900 should not panic because this is a bad day? It may be a bad start to a great company but a bad start does not mean that the journey is going to be bumpy? Yes, absolutely.

1. The value of the company does not change in between the IPO and today or maybe even in the next one month.
2. The value of the company changes only when the business fundamentals change.
3. So, those who have invested, those who have come to the markets for the first time through this IPO have no reason to panic.

Maybe a year or two down the lane, they would definitely see some kind of returns on this stock because the business also picks up in the coming years as Covid restrictions go away. So, the advice remains the same, stay invested. Maybe the listing excitement is not there, but that really does not mean that it is the end of the story.

1. The other point is that the government has sold 3.5% stake in a company which has a 64% market share when it comes to the insurance space it is in.
2. The anticipation is that of course more will come and therefore the price should go up.
3. But today we are hearing about a bunch of reports which are talking about LIC being at about Rs 1,000 a share? More is definitely going to come because it is just a 3% stake sale.

The government will someday have to reach that 75% mark but let us give it time, let us not speculate because the government, at least in the last few years, has shown that they are not hellbent on destroying the value of the public sector. We have seen some reasonably good turnarounds happen in the PSU banking space and the defence space.

I would not say that you know just with 3% sale the price is here. What happens if the government comes tomorrow and sells 10% more? The government is sensible and I am hoping that they will time the sale of future stake in such a way that it does not disturb the market.

Is LIC stock good for long term?

Shares of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India today hit new low of ₹ 605.10 apiece on NSE. Extending the sell off triggered after Adani-Hindenburg row, LIC share price today opened lower and went on to hit new life-time low, which is more than 50 per cent below the upper price band of its initial public offering (IPO).

1. However, Yes Securities is highly bullish on the insurance counter.
2. The brokerage believes that LIC share price may go up to ₹ 770 apiece levels from its current market price, which is ₹ 605 today.
3. Highlighting the reason for being bullish on LIC shares, Yes Securities says, “The ULIP product line, which is low-margin, has risen faster than other Non-Par products.

Management states that LIC’s market share in ULIP is small and there is more headroom for this product line to grow. However, its impact on margin will be offset by Non-Par Savings (Non-ULIP) and Annuities. It may be noted that there have been 6 new product launches in 9M, all in the Non-ULIP Non-Par segment, barring one.

1. On repricing, Annuity prices had been revised in August, which also impacted margin negatively.
2. The repricing on Annuity products was done to make the product more competitive and growth will more than offset the negative impact on margin.” Click here to read latest stock market news The brokerage went on to add that the banca (including alternate) channel has grown 48% YoY and has contributed 3.50% to individual NBP in 9MFY23 compared with 2.56% in 9MFY22.

On the other hand, the agency channel has grown 7.6% YoY. Agent count has been flattish over 9M since there have been agent dropouts along with recruitment. Management explained that agents are undergoing training on the new products and they would be back on the street in Feb and Mach with renewed vigour.

From a longer-term perspective, LIC sees agent productivity improving significantly over 5 years. On its suggestion to positional shareholders in regard to LIC shares, Yes Securities said, “We maintain ‘BUY’ rating on LIC with a revised price target of ₹ 770. We value LIC at 0.7x FY24 P/EV for an FY23E/24E/25ERoEVprofile of 10.7/10.8/10.9%.We prefer IPRU, SBIL and MFS in the life insurance space.” Disclaimer: The views and recommendations made above are those of individual analysts or broking companies, and not of Mint.

Can we sell LIC IPO after listing?

What is the Process of Selling IPO Shares Some of the major reasons behind the increase in the number of investors applying for an IPO are rising awareness about its benefits, the simple application process, price transparency, and the ability to help meet long-term goals.

Can I buy IPO without broker?

New Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) often create a lot of buzz among investors. IPOs are a great method for companies to grow and expand their operations. When the company launching its IPO in share market has a good track record and many takers, it can be difficult for interested investors to get a piece of the pie.

If the investor does not have a Demat account, it can become even more challenging to invest in a promising IPO. Demat accounts are necessary for all investors hoping to invest in or trade shares. These accounts, opened with a depository participant, store all your share certificates in the electronic or dematerialised format.

This not only makes it easy to buy and sell shares and other securities, but is now mandatory for all stock market investors.

How to invest in IPO without Demat account

Can I buy IPO without Demat account? The answer is, yes. Although you should ideally have your Demat and trading accounts in place, it is not impossible to apply for IPO without these accounts. The method of investing in an IPO without a Demat account is rather ingenious.

Here’s how it’s done— 1. Get in touch with a broker to open a Demat account,2. Submit the required documents such as PAN details, photographs, proof of address, and opening fee.3. Receive a DP ID from your broker immediately.4. Apply for the IPO using this ID, but skip the ‘beneficiary account number’ section on the application.5.

Once you apply, the amount of money for the number of shares for which you have applied will be blocked through the Application Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) process in your account. ASBA has been made mandatory for all IPO applications by SEBI. Through this, the amount required for application is blocked till shares are allotted.6.

The omission of the beneficiary account number will be communicated to you by the registrar at the time of allotment. However, by this time, you will have received your real beneficiary account number.7. You can correspond with the registrar to rectify the omission after which the shares will be credited to your account.

Alternatively, you can also “rent” a Demat account from investors who do not plan to apply for the IPO in question. You can later have these shares transferred to your newly created Demat account.

Limitations

Although investors can apply for IPO without a Demat account, they need a Demat account and trading account to place trades. Therefore, the method detailed above is not sustainable. Ideally, for IPO investment, one should be prepared with a Demat account and trading account before buying any shares, if they wish to make the most out of trading in the stock market.

There are other issues with this method of IPO investment. Sometimes, if an investor enters an incorrect beneficiary account number, the allotment of shares can be delayed. This is unfavourable for an investor looking to make gains on the first day of the IPO. Conclusion While a Demat account allows you to hold all your securities in the electronic format, a trading account facilitates the sale and purchase of these shares and securities.

Brokers often allot these accounts bundled together. Some DPs even offer 3-in-1 accounts that offer Demat, trading and banking facilities. To start buying and selling shares or for IPO investment, open your Demat and trading account today.
