Centre Tweaks FEMA To Permit 20% FDI In LIC

The Central Government has tweaked the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) rules to allow as much as 20% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the LIC. The government is mulling over plans to dilute its stake in the insurance company via the Initial Public Offering (IPO). Earlier in February this year, the LIC had filed the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) before the Sebi for the Initial Public Offering.
