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.
