New Delhi: Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), the country’s largest insurer, on Monday logged 18 per cent decline in standalone net profit of Rs 2,372 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The state-run insurance behemoth clocked a consolidated net profit of Rs 2,893 crore in Q4FY21.

LIC’s net premium income rose 18 per cent to Rs 1.44 lakh crore for Q4FY22 as against Rs 1.22 lakh crore in the year-ago period.

According to the BSE data, the board of directors of LIC recommended dividend of Rs 1.50 per equity share with face value of Rs 10 each for the year ended March 31, 2022.

The insurer’s income from investments came in at Rs 67,855.59 crore, almost flat compared to 67,684.27 crore in the year-ago quarter, while the solvency ratio of LIC, which got listed earlier this month, was 1.85 in Q4FY22 as compared to 1.77 in Q4FY21.
