Our History

1962

Establishment of Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation

Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation (SLIC) was founded in 1962 as the nation’s first state-owned insurance provider. Its establishment marked a significant milestone in Sri Lanka's financial landscape, as it aimed to make insurance accessible and affordable to the general public while promoting economic stability and security across the country.

2003

Conversion to a Private Limited Liability Company

In 2003, SLIC transitioned from a state-owned entity to a private limited liability company. This conversion was part of a privatization initiative intended to enhance operational efficiency, foster competition, and modernize the insurance industry to meet evolving customer needs.

2009

Reinstated as a Nationalized Entity

After being privatized for several years, the government of Sri Lanka reacquired Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation in 2009. The reinstatement as a nationalized entity reaffirmed the government's commitment to ensuring that critical insurance services were once again aligned with the national interest and accessible to all citizens. This move also reinforced SLIC’s position as a state-owned leader in the insurance sector.

2024

Segregation of Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation into Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation General Ltd and Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation Life Ltd.

In 2024, Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation underwent a significant organizational transformation by segregating its operations into two specialized entities: Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation General Ltd (SLICGL) and Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation Life Ltd. This strategic move was aimed at streamlining operations, ensuring greater focus on the unique demands of general and life insurance segments, and driving operational excellence in each area.
