New Delhi/Mumbai. If you are a housewife or looking for self-employment, then Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has brought a great opportunity for you. ‘LIC Bima Sakhi Yojana’ in the year 2026 remains a topic of discussion among women in rural and semi-urban areas. The objective of this scheme is not only to make women financially independent but also to give them a new identity in the society as a ‘financial advisor’. Under this scheme, women can start a respectable career along with household chores.
What is LIC Bima Sakhi Scheme and its main objective?
LIC Bima Sakhi is a special women-centric initiative, launched with the approval of the Government to increase insurance coverage in every corner of the country. Through this program women are trained as insurance representatives. These ‘Bima Sakhis’ explain the importance of investment and protection to the people of their area. This scheme not only provides employment but also instills confidence and digital literacy among women.
Stipend and extra commission of ₹7,000 every month
The most attractive aspect of this scheme is its income structure. Selected women are given a monthly stipend (fixed income) of up to ₹7,000 during the initial training period. This amount is given so that there is no financial burden on women while learning.
