Sequentially, the net profit declined by 41.8% from ₹12.2 crore in Q3 FY26, while revenue decreased by 14% from ₹394.4 crore in the previous quarter. The bank attributed this downturn to various factors, including the arrest of its managing director and chief executive officer, Rishi Gupta, in February by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) for alleged violations of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act. Fino Payments Bank clarified that Gupta's arrest was related to an investigation involving program managers and not directly linked to its own GST compliance.
