For Q3F21, IIFL Finance had reported 47 per cent year-on-year (YoY) jump in its consolidated net profit at Rs 268 crore, driven by loan growth, higher net interest margin and lower cost to income ratio.

The pre-provision operating profit (PPOP) during the quarter was more-than-doubled at Rs 615 crore from Rs 271 crore in previous year quarter. The company recorded its highest ever PPOP during the quarter, driven by mainly volume growth and reduction in cost of funds.
