LIC's Revolutionary Initiative for Women: Bima Sakhi

Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), renowned for its trust and innovation, is set to launch a transformative initiative, Bima Sakhi, aimed at empowering women financially and professionally. This ground breaking scheme is expected to make waves across the country, with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurating it on 9th December 2024 in Panipat, Haryana.

Here’s everything you need to know about this initiative, as highlighted by an exclusive report in the Rohtak edition of Dainik Bhaskar on 21st November 2024.

What is the Bima Sakhi Scheme?

Bima Sakhi is a women-centric career program that allows female agents aged 18 to 70 years to join LIC and work as professional insurance advisors with added financial stability and attractive benefits.

This initiative is a first-of-its-kind in the insurance sector, combining a fixed monthly salary with commission-based earnings for the first three years to encourage more women to step into the insurance workforce.

Main Highlights of Bima Sakhi

1. Exclusive for Women
   Only women can enroll in this scheme, ensuring a platform dedicated to their professional and financial growth.

2. Age Eligibility
   The scheme is open to women between 18 to 70 years, making it highly inclusive for women across all stages of life.

3. Fixed Salary for the First 3 Years
   Selected female agents will receive a monthly salary along with commissions:

• First Year: ₹7,000 per month
  • Second Year: ₹6,000 per month
  • Third Year: ₹5,000 per month

1. This unique combination of a fixed income and performance-based commissions makes it an attractive and secure career option.

2. Commission-Based Earnings
   In addition to the salary, agents will earn commissions based on the policies they sell, which could significantly boost their overall income.

3. Minimum Education Criteria
   Women with at least a 10th-grade education can apply, making it accessible to a large pool of aspiring candidates.

4. Comprehensive Training
   LIC will provide extensive training to equip Bima Sakhis with the skills and knowledge required to excel in their roles.

5. Launch by PM Narendra Modi

   

   The grand inauguration of the Bima Sakhi scheme by PM Modi in Panipat underscores its importance and the government’s commitment to women’s empowerment.

Significance of Bima Sakhi

Empowering Women Economically

By offering a guaranteed salary and commission, this initiative addresses the financial challenges many women face, encouraging them to become independent contributors to their households.

Inclusive Opportunities

The wide age eligibility range (18–70 years) and minimal educational requirements ensure that even homemakers and women looking for a second career can benefit from this program.

Strengthening Communities

Bima Sakhis will play a dual role in securing financial futures for families while serving as role models for other women in their communities.

Boosting Financial Literacy

By educating families about life insurance and financial planning, these women will contribute to the broader financial inclusion goals of India.

Why Bima Sakhi Stands Out

1. Government-Backed Initiative
   The personal involvement of PM Narendra Modi reflects the national importance of this initiative and the government’s push for women’s empowerment.

2. Pioneering Model
   A blend of fixed salaries and commission earnings is a rarity in the insurance industry, setting a new benchmark for employee welfare.

3. Localized Focus
   With its launch in Panipat, the scheme is expected to focus initially on women from smaller towns and rural areas, bridging gaps in financial inclusion.

4. Building Confidence in Women
   Many women hesitate to step into sales roles due to income uncertainty. The salary guarantee under Bima Sakhi addresses this concern, making it a secure career option.
