If its a balance sheet of company then lic policy cannot be shown as investment.
Even as per Accounting Standards its not allowed.

LIC is an insurance policy taken on life of an individual. In case of company the individual and company is different and therefore it cannot be shown as investment of company. Moreover investment is asset held for capital appreciation (long term) the benefit does not accrue to business but to the individual who takes it so it cannot feature in the balance sheet of business
