1. Consider and approve the standalone and consolidated audited financial results for the quarter and financial year ended 31 March 2026.

Bajaj Finance reported a 23.60% year-on-year rise in standalone net profit at ₹4,580.52 crore for Q3 FY26, compared with ₹3,705.81 crore in the corresponding quarter last year.
Standalone revenue from operations grew 18.20% to ₹15,694.74 crore in the December quarter, up from ₹13,277.33 crore a year ago.
The lender’s net interest income (NII) — the difference between interest earned on loans and interest paid on deposits — rose to ₹11,318 crore in the quarter from ₹9,383 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal.
Profitability during the quarter, however, was affected by elevated provisioning. Bajaj Finance said earnings were hit by an accelerated expected credit loss (ECL) charge of ₹1,406 crore, along with a one-time gratuity-related expense of ₹265 crore following the implementation of the new labour codes. Bajaj Finance said that, adjusted for these exceptional items, its net profit would have come in at ₹5,317 crore, reflecting a 23% year-on-year increase.
On the asset quality front, gross non-performing assets (GNPA) stood at 1.56% as of December 31, 2025, compared with 1.41% a year earlier. Net NPAs remained unchanged at 0.61%.
