Revenue and Income Growth
RBL Bank’s interest earned has shown a robust upward trend, rising from ₹6,300.71 crores in March 2019 to ₹14,039.07 crores by March 2025. This growth reflects the bank’s expanding lending and investment activities. Income from investments and interest on advances have been primary contributors, with interest on advances increasing from ₹5,049.83 crores in 2019 to over ₹11,224.76 crores in 2025. Other income streams have also strengthened, reaching ₹3,806.18 crores in the latest fiscal year, up from ₹1,442.37 crores in 2019.

Profitability and Margins
Net interest income (NII) has mirrored the income growth, climbing steadily from ₹2,539.48 crores in 2019 to ₹6,463.02 crores in 2025. However, profitability has experienced volatility, particularly evident in profit before tax (PBT) and profit after tax (PAT) figures. While the bank reported a PBT of ₹1,299.15 crores in 2019, this figure dipped into negative territory in 2022 before recovering to ₹668.13 crores in 2025. PAT followed a similar pattern, with a loss recorded in 2022 but rebounding to ₹695.37 crores in 2025. Earnings per share (EPS) also fluctuated, peaking at 20.32 in 2019, falling to negative in 2022, and settling at 11.44 in 2025. Operating profit margins, excluding other income, declined from a high of 57.42% in 2019 to 31.61% in 2025, reflecting increased expenditure pressures and provisioning requirements. The PAT margin similarly contracted from 13.76% in 2019 to 4.95% in 2025.
