Life Insurance Corporation is an insurance and investment corporation owned by Indian government. It comes under the ownership of Ministry of Finance, Government of India.

LIC was established on 1st September 1956. This was the time when the Parliament of India passed the Life Insurance of India Act. This initiative of Indian Government nationalized the insurance industry in India.
