The demand has been raised over an alleged excess Input Tax Credit (ITC) availed by LIC. However, the corporation has clarified that the order is appealable before the Commissioner (Appeals) in Delhi and asserted that the financial impact remains limited to the amount in question, with no material effect on its overall operations.

This development is expected to be closely monitored by investors and regulatory authorities, as LIC remains one of India’s most significant financial institutions.
