Bajaj Finserv Ltd, the holding arm of Sanjiv Bajaj-led various financial services businesses including insurance and non-banking finance, reported a double-digit rise in earnings as well as revenue for the second quarter ended September 30.
Consolidated net profit rose 13.7% to Rs 1,122 crore from Rs 986 crore in the year-ago period. On a sequential basis, net profit rose 34%.
Consolidated profit excluding mark to market gain was Rs 1,017 crore, up 26% over the same period last year.

Earlier this month, Bajaj Finance had said its quarterly consolidated net profit jumped 53% to Rs 1,481 crore. The consolidated figure includes results of two subsidiaries—Bajaj Housing Finance Ltd and Bajaj Financial Securities Ltd.
Bajaj Finserv’s total revenue rose 20% to Rs 18,008.4 crore from Rs 15,051.6 crore in the second quarter of last financial year.
