LIC's Board announced a 1:1 bonus issue with record date May 29, 2026 and deemed allotment date June 1, 2026. Each shareholder will receive 1 new share for every 1 share held. The company also recommended a final dividend of Rs. 10 per share (Rs. 20 per share pre-bonus equivalent) for FY2025-26, subject to shareholder approval in the 5th AGM on July 27, 2026. For FY2026, standalone profit after tax rose 19.2% to Rs. 57,418.55 crore versus Rs. 48,151.17 crore last year, with EPS at Rs. 90.78. Consolidated PAT stood at Rs. 57,453.15 crore. The solvency ratio remains healthy at 2.35. The board also approved an amendment to the investment income recognition accounting policy.
The 1:1 bonus issue doubles the number of shares outstanding, which typically provides positive sentiment for retail investors by increasing liquidity. The strong profit growth of 19% and improved solvency ratio indicate healthy financial performance, supporting the dividend payout.
