NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha on Wednesday passed a bill to increase foreign investment limit in local insurers to 49 per cent from 26 per cent.
The passage of the bill in both the houses of Parliament is critical to make an executive order, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration issued in December, permanent.
