Bajaj Finserv said that the conditions continue to be challenging for the financial sector as a whole. Under such circumstances, the strong growth delivered by Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company (BALIC) is a testimony to the resilience of the group as well as the quality of the management across these enterprises. BALIC, which faced challenges in coping with significant changes in market dynamics, has improved on its new businesses, Bajaj Finserv said.

Bajaj Finserv said that the board of directors of the company at its meeting held yesterday, 20 May 2015, inter alia, has recommended a dividend of Rs 1.75 per share for the year ended 31 March 2015 (FY 2015).

Bajaj Finserv was formed in April 2007 as a result of its demerger from Bajaj Auto to further the Group's interests in financial services. This demerger enabled Bajaj Finserv to independently run the core businesses of Lending, Insurance and Wealth Advisory. Bajaj Finserv is the holding company for the financial services businesses of the Bajaj Group.
