The board of LIC proposed a dividend of ₹1.50 per share for FY22, subject to shareholders’ approval at its upcoming annual general meeting.

This marks a structural shift in India’s five-year-old indirect tax regime. The central and state governments believe such a move would vastly expand the potential reach of small enterprises through e-commerce. Currently, physical sellers need GST registration only if they have annual sales of more than ₹40 lakh, while all online sellers compulsorily need GST registration irrespective of turnover. The proposal, if approved, will bring online and offline sellers on par as far as GST registration is concerned.
