State Bank of India fell 1.9 percent, while DLF lost 1.6 percent.
Infosys fell 1.8 percent, posting a second losing session after sharply cutting its revenue guidance for fiscal 2013 on Thursday.
The Sensex provisionally fell 0.21 percent to 17,196.36 points. The Nifty lost 0.15 percent to end at 5,227.25 points.
