The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has cleared reclassification of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) as public shareholder in IDBI Bank, a move that paves the way for the lender's strategic disinvestment.

The approval, which comes with a set of conditions, will take effect once the transaction is completed.

In a regulatory filing on August 24, LIC said the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) had informed it of Sebi's approval, received a day earlier. The decision is a crucial step in the government's plan to privatise IDBI Bank, which was cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs in May 2021.
