LIC Bima Sakhi Yojana: Nowadays when everyone is looking for options to work from home, a very great opportunity has come up from LIC for women. Yes, we are talking about “Bima Sakhi Yojana”, which has been started especially with the aim of making women self-reliant and giving them employment. If you are also a woman and want to earn some money along with the responsibilities of the house, then this scheme can be perfect for you.
What is Bima Sakhi Yojana
Bima Sakhi Yojana has been started jointly by Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and the Central Government. Its purpose is to make women stand on their feet, give them a new identity and make them financially empowered. Under this scheme, women are not only given training but they also get a stipend during training, so that they can also run their own expenses and start earning while learning the work.
The most special aspect of this scheme is that by giving insurance training to women, they are given the opportunity to work as LIC agents in their own village or city. That means neither will you have to go out anywhere, nor will you need any big degree – just a little hard work, and you can earn from your home.
How much can you earn by becoming a Bima Sakhi?
When women are on training in this scheme, they are given a stipend of ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 every month. This stipend comes directly to their bank account. Not only this, as soon as the training is completed and they start working as LIC agents, they get commission and incentives on every policy. In the first year itself, a female agent can earn up to ₹48,000, which gradually increases.
If a woman wants to get a stipend for three years under this scheme, then at least 65% of the policies activated in the first year should remain active till the next year. This shows that the scheme is not just a start, but a way to earn and grow for a long time.
Which women can apply for this scheme?
The benefit of this scheme is only for women. If your age is above 18 years and below 70 years, and you have passed at least 10th, then you can apply for it. Yes, one thing is important to keep in mind that if you are already an agent of LIC, or any LIC employee or from their family, then you cannot apply in this scheme.
Method of applying
The process of application to join this scheme has also been kept very easy. If you want, you can apply both online and offline. To apply online, you can fill the form by visiting the official website of LIC or the website of your state’s Rural Livelihood Mission. You just have to upload the necessary information like your age certificate, address proof, 10th mark sheet, passport size photo and bank details.
If you find it difficult to do it online, you can also apply by visiting your nearest LIC office, Panchayat office or CSC center. After filling the form, when you are selected, you will be informed about the training through SMS or email.
As soon as the training is completed, you get a Bima Sakhi certificate and LIC agent code, with which you can officially start working as a LIC agent.
After training, you will get a chance
Bima Sakhi Yojana is not just a job but also a long and strong career for women. During the three-year training, you are given every minute information related to insurance – such as financial literacy, how to sell a policy, how to deal with a customer, how to build a network, etc. Once you become a LIC agent and perform well, you can also get promotions and you can also reach higher positions like “Development Officer”.
