A poll of analysts had forecast this Rs 1,426 crore. Income from operations rose 12.9 percent to Rs 6,758.4 crore. Its loan book, as of December 31, 2014, stood at Rs 2.19 lakh crore, compared to Rs 1.92 lakh crore on December 31, 2013.

Consolidated revenue grew 8.7 percent to Rs 3,843 crore during October-December quarter from Rs 3,533.8 crore in the year-ago period.
