(Reuters) - Indian shares fell on Tuesday, snapping three straight sessions of gains, as oil marketers slid after brent crude jumped to over two-year highs, and as banking stocks declined following three consecutive sessions of rises.

The broader NSE Nifty ended 0.8 percent lower at 10,240.15, while the benchmark BSE Sensex closed down 0.68 percent at 33,227.99. Both the indexes gained over 2.6 percent each in the previous three sessions.

The Nifty Bank index finished 1.1 percent lower after rising 2.2 percent in the previous three sessions.
