How it started
History
Jio Financial Services was initially a financial services subsidiary of Reliance Industries. In July 2023, it was spun-off via a demerger, with shareholders of Reliance Industries receiving one equity share of Jio Financial Services for every share they held in Reliance. Reliance Industries transferred ₹15,500 crore (US$1.6 billion) of cash and liquid investments to Jio Financial Services as part of the demerger scheme. This gave Jio Financial Services a liquid asset base of ₹20,700 crore (US$2.1 billion).
JFSL was listed on the stock exchanges on 21 August 2023. Following the demerger and listing, JFSL was briefly a part of Nifty 50, BSE SENSEX and FTSE indices, but was removed from these indices over the following weeks as it did not meet their inclusion criteria.
In July 2023, JFSL entered the asset management company (AMC) business, by forming a 50:50 joint venture with BlackRock called Jio BlackRock. In April 2024, JFSL and BlackRock announced a partnership in wealth management and broking business.
In May 2024, JFSL launched JioFinance, an app with digital payments, loans and insurance offerings.
In March 2026, the reinsurance service “Allianz Jio Reinsurance Limited,” operated jointly with Allianz, began operations.
