Brand Name

idea posted by Niranjan Meena Actuary Manager, LIC

LIC is a very old & trusted brand in India. Hopefully we all are the customers of the LIC, either directly or indirectly. People have blind trust on this name & this due to the services what LIC have provided its customers from many years...

More over it has huge capital to invest in providing superior services as compared to other private players. And it has the highest market share in the insurance sector which can be targeted to cater banking services.

LIC is a trusted brand in the insurance sector. People blindly take insurance policies just by the name LIC. That is the belief which my clients have. Sometimes the delay in giving policy bonds doesnt go well with the customers. I suggest electronic policy bonds

PSUs are the major contributors to the economic growth of modern India; PSUs have played a significant role in building the country’s infrastructure, enhancing national economic development, generating surpluses for capital formation and contributing to government revenue. Major areas - essential infrastructure goods and services, exploration and exploitation of oil and mineral resources, technology development and building of manufacturing capabilities in areas which are crucial in the long term development of the economy.

LIC had strong financial results over many years and could tide over the recent turmoil faced by the financial industry especially the banking sector and hence we believe that this product would generate interest among retail as well as institutional investors.

Trust & Brand Name

idea posted by Omkar Kulkarni Accounts Officer, Minilec(India) Pvt Ltd
LIC is a strong brand name in Indian Insurance sector and hopefully all have trust on LIC. Many countries population is less than LIC customers. LIC should have to keep this trust and brand name in future & for forever.

i agree with kulkarni.LIC is not only having brand name.It also have gained everyone's trust in india.

Add your argument:

Goodwill Reputation- A organization for all

idea posted by Vipin Bhasin Private Equity/Hedge Fund/VC-Manager, Indian Investment Co.

It is the major factor that will make LIC a good a banking institution. It is a organization where a high income group as well as a low income group can invest in insurance. All other companies have not any platform for those customers who are interested to invest less than Rs. 5000 in a year but LIC have. They want to cover only high value investors whereas LIC covers both high value and low income. And the second major factor is Government undertaking means more safety/trust than others.......

brand equity and consistence performance of LIC has made it a successful enterprise

idea posted by shivakumar Freelancer, Freelancer

LIC OF INDIA, being India's leading life insurance company and prominent investment institution in the corporate zone, has crossed many milestones. The number of policy holders speaks about its volume of business and area of operations. Now LIC of India has reached every small village in India with its distinct and diversified insurance products.

As LIC has alrerady established good customer loyalty and service in he mind of the customers and banking institution will also attract the great customer base and add value to its existing business line. his would make the things easier for policyholders and customers who have difficulty in paying thier regular premiums. It can also help the the Corporation to link its all different business entities such as housing finance, mutual funds, life insurance etc.

LIC as a Bank .. who controlls .. IRDA or RBI .. ?

idea posted by ASOKE KUSARI Domestic Private Banking-Executive/Manager, A large leading PSU Bank - India

 

...  Private players and NBFCs are being encouraged by our FM for a Bank ... why not LIC Housing Finance pray for a Banking licence ?

But ... questions lie elsewhere :-

---  The "shark" in a deep-sea and "chitah" in a deep forest - may show its strength when the places are changed ?

----- Desposits in Insurance_premium and (Bank) "Deposits" are same ?

---  Banking and Insurance are two different things. Risk cover for lives require a good capital base. May not banking business erode LIC's capital base ?

---   As per LIC Act it has only 5,000 crores as Capital and they are duty-bound to distribute incomes as 'dividends" --- not true ?

---  LIC has no experience in lending and in "Priority Sector Lendings" ( a must ) - they have not seen things like NPA

---  May LIC handle NPA and its management ( LIC agents might be taught what is NPA )

---  In India, (generally) agents are not allowed to handle Banking businesses, no intermediaries allowed, no gift allowed, no commission allowed - even then may LIC use their agents for a otherwise dull business called Banking ?

---  LIC has no Rural Branch -- yes no.

---  We have seen the fate of AIG - insurance and banking was mixed up

---  May LIC Act permit such new business ?

---  Who will control LIC - RBI or IRDA ? ( our respected FM - only the other day U was advocating 'mergers and amalgamation of Banks in India - have U abandoned such a proposal ? )

To Train its People to increase the Network in Banking

idea posted by ABHIJIT KULKARNI Project Manager, BNP Paribas

By Building awareness and mutual trust in consumer's mind, LIC can become a Reputed bank easily, so far Insurance market was dominated by LIC but now the situation is changed and in Banking Industry, LIC has to compete with other big banks like SBI , AXIS & ICICI etc

I feel better Training and understanding of Banking guidelines for its staff is a must to succeed in future....
