To understand how people are responding to the relaxation on premium payments and also whether this is a time to buy or sell equities or bonds, CNBC-TV18 spoke to Vipin Anand, MD, LIC India.
Speaking about lower collections of premium in March he said, “For the month of March, we lost more than 60 percent of our new business premium and almost 80 percent of the renewals for the month of March remains unpaid which we are hoping will come in the first quarter of the current year because Income Tax rebate has been allowed for premiums deposited up to 30th.”
