Price vs Dividends
How much of LICI's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 3 years Life Insurance Corporation of India's quoted price moved +30.8%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +36.9% — which makes dividends 17% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | -1.0% | +2.3 pts | +1.4% | 100% |
| 3 years | +30.8% | +6.1 pts | +36.9% | 17% |
“Dividends added” is in percentage points of total return, with dividends treated as reinvested at the time they were paid — which is why it compounds and grows faster than the raw cash paid out. “From dividends” is shown only where the total return was positive; against a loss it would be a share of a negative number and would mean nothing.
Payout Record
LICI dividend history, year by year
Per share, by the calendar year the dividend went ex — 5 years on record.
| Year | Per share | Payments | Relative size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | ₹10 | 1 | |
| 2025 | ₹6 | 1 | |
| 2024 | ₹5 | 2 | |
| 2023 | ₹2 | 1 | |
| 2022 | ₹1 | 1 |
Grouped by calendar year rather than financial year, because that is how the ex-dates arrive in the data. A year with an unusually large figure often contains a special dividend rather than a raised regular one.

LICI dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does LICI pay?+
Life Insurance Corporation of India paid ₹10 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 2.37% against the current share price. It has paid in 5 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹23 per share.
What is the dividend yield of LICI?+
LICI's trailing dividend yield is 2.37% — the last twelve months of declared dividends divided by the current share price. Yield moves inversely with the price, so a falling share price raises the yield without the company paying a rupee more. That is why the payout record below matters more than the headline number.
Has LICI paid dividends consistently?+
Life Insurance Corporation of India has paid in 4 consecutive years, counting back from the last complete calendar year. A streak is a better guide to a company's intent than a single year's yield, which can be inflated by a one-off special dividend. It is still a record of the past — a payout can be cut at any time, and several long-running Indian payers have done exactly that.
How much of LICI's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 3 years LICI's share price moved +30.8% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +36.9% — so dividends account for about 17% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did LICI last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-06-25, at ₹10 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹10 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
