CHANDIGARH, MAY 9

Indian life insurers started the current fiscal on an upbeat note. According to data released by the Life Insurance Council, the new business premiums (NBP) underwritten by Indian life insurers grew by 61.23 per year, highlighting the growing demand for life insurance policies among the country’s population.

The NBP of Indian life insurers stood at Rs 20,258.86 crore for April 2024 as opposed to Rs 12,565.31 crores for April 2023. This growth is mainly due to group single premium which grew over 126 per cent.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
