The government has approved a 17% overall hike in wages for more than 1.10 lakh employees of insurance giant Life Insurance Corp.
The wage hike approval has come days after the government cleared a similar raise for the employees of public sector banks.
The wage hike for LIC employees is effective from August 1, 2022, the insurer said.
NPS contribution is enhanced from 10% to 14% of nearly 24,000 employees who joined after April 1, 2010, it said while thanking the government for the wage revision.
A one-time ex-gratia payment to LIC pensioners was also made to more than 30,000 pensioners and family pensioners, it said.
Earlier this week, the government had given no objection to a 17% wage hike for bank employees effective Nov. 1, 2022.
