Its total consolidated income declined to Rs 4,436 crore in the quarter from Rs 4,770 crore in the year-ago period, Reliance Capital said in a regulatory filing. The total expenses decreased to Rs 5,949 crore against Rs 8,982 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

The central bank subsequently filed an application for initiation of CIRP against the company at the Mumbai bench of NCLT. In February last year, the RBI-appointed administrator invited expressions of interest for the sale of Reliance Capital.
