Jio Financial Services reported a 2% year-on-year increase in profit for the fourth quarter of the financial year, amounting to Rs 316 crore. The board of directors has also announced a dividend of Rs 0.5 per share for the fiscal year ending March 2025. The company saw its revenue from operations rise by 18% year-on-year to Rs 493 crore, up from Rs 418 crore in the previous year. Sequentially, the revenue increased by 13%, while profit after tax rose by 7% quarter-on-quarter, indicating strong performance and growth strategies.

Jio Financial's revenue growth was accompanied by a slight decline in interest income, which fell to Rs 276 crore during the January-March 2024 period. However, the income from fees and commissions improved significantly, reaching Rs 39 crore. In the lending and leasing sector, the company's assets under management (AUM) surged to Rs 10,053 crore, up from a modest Rs 173 crore a year ago. This growth can be attributed to the company's strategic expansion into ten Tier-1 cities and enhanced partnerships with wealth management firms and banks for loan against securities (LAS) and loan against mutual funds (LAMF).

In the field of payments, Jio Payments Bank saw its customer base grow threefold year-over-year, reaching 2.31 million. The Bank also reported a CASA plus wallet balance of Rs 295 crore, a threefold increase compared to the previous year.
