Banks - Small Finance: AU Small Finance Bank Ltd owns the largest revenue base; Fino Payments Bank Ltd has the fastest current growth.
Nifty Banks - Small Finance Index — Constituents & Performance
The Banks - Small Finance companies below are the listed Indian Banks - Small Finance universe this page tracks — the same constituent set people search for as the Nifty Banks - Small Finance index. Every figure is equal-weighted across those companies, so one large constituent cannot set the reading. Each number carries its own as-of date.
The sector itself · before any single company
How has Banks - Small Finance moved against NIFTY 500?
The line below covers 5.1 years. Over the most recent two of them this sector is 12% behind NIFTY 500. Earnings across its companies fell 26% on average over the last four reported quarters. It has been ahead of NIFTY 500 on a rolling three-month view for 14 weeks running.

Participation is not spreading downward this month; the larger companies are still carrying most of it.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the sector line is an equal-weighted index of its 9 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the sector taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

Is Banks - Small Finance outperforming NIFTY 500?

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Suryoday Small Finance Bank Ltd has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 97% evidence confidence.
Equitas Small Finance Bank Ltd has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded.
Decision use: Acceleration candidate, not a confirmed leader: earnings are strong but sector-relative strength is -2.5% and the one-year return is 29.6%. Do not upgrade until sector-relative strength is above zero and another reported period confirms growth.
Decision use: Balanced evidence: keep at normal research priority and require another comparable period before raising conviction.

For lenders, reported income is used instead of industrial-company sales. Growth is compared year-on-year.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Banks - Small Finance comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 9 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 4 draw at least one figure from a second feed with too little overlap to cross-check. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
4 companies draw at least one figure from a second data feed with too little overlapping history to cross-check against the primary source; they are marked unverified wherever those figures appear.
09 · the complete set
Which companies are included?
All 9 companies in the canonical Banks - Small Finance membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
How each company's sources stand: 4 of 9 companies draw at least one figure from a second data feed that could not be cross-checked against the primary source, because the two do not share enough reported history to compare. Those figures are marked unverified wherever they appear.
Evidence and freshness
How was this comparison built?
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 9 Banks - Small Finance companies, normalized to a common ₹ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-24. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.
FundamentalsThrough Jun 2026 · up to 20 quarters per company
Market dataThrough 2026-07-24 · weekly price and relative-strength history
Derived metricsGrowth, changes, CAPEX intensity, net debt, guarded PEG and P/BV÷ROE are calculated only when their inputs are comparable.
Score confidenceMissing and stale evidence reduces confidence and pulls the 0–100 research-priority score toward neutral.
A second feed is read only after its reported income is matched against the primary source on at least three overlapping periods. Where the two agree the figures fill silently. Where there is too little shared history to compare, the figures are still drawn — they are the only evidence there is — and marked ⚠ unverified everywhere they appear. Where the two are known to disagree, nothing from the second feed is drawn and the affected company is named under the chart it is missing from. Every company's standing is listed in the register above.
These 18 answers restate the Banks - Small Finance comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 9 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-24. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
What is the Nifty Banks - Small Finance index?
The Nifty Banks - Small Finance index tracks India's listed Banks - Small Finance companies as a single basket. This page follows the same 9 companies and equal-weights them, so every company's weekly return counts once whatever it is worth, and the reading belongs to the Banks - Small Finance sector rather than to its largest constituent. Figures are as of Jun 2026.
Which are the best Banks - Small Finance stocks in India?
Ranked by this page's four-factor score, Suryoday Small Finance Bank Ltd places first among 9 listed Banks - Small Finance companies, followed by Capital Small Finance Bank Ltd. That is a ranking of published data — earnings, quality, valuation and market behaviour as of Jun 2026 — and not a recommendation; Sector Alpha is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser.
How many Banks - Small Finance stocks are listed in India?
This comparison covers 9 listed Banks - Small Finance companies in India, each above the size floor the site applies, with 20 quarters of reported figures per company where the filings exist. The full ranked list is on this page, as of Jun 2026.
Which Banks - Small Finance company is the biggest?
AU Small Finance Bank Ltd is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month income of ₹19,560 crore, ahead of Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd at ₹7,337 crore. That covers 9 of 9 companies with comparable reporting through Jun 2026.
Which Banks - Small Finance company is growing fastest?
Fino Payments Bank Ltd has the fastest income growth at 27.1% year on year, across 9 of 9 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Banks - Small Finance company makes the most profit?
AU Small Finance Bank Ltd earns the most, at ₹2,857 crore of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 9 of 9 comparable companies. Suryoday Small Finance Bank Ltd has the fastest profit growth at 100%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Banks - Small Finance lender has the best asset quality?
AU Small Finance Bank Ltd reports the lowest gross NPA ratio at 2.1% — lower is better — across 8 of 9 lenders. Read the direction as well as the level: a rising NPA ratio off a low base can matter more than a high but falling one.
Which Banks - Small Finance company earns the highest return on capital?
AU Small Finance Bank Ltd leads on return on assets at 1.4%, across 9 of 9 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Banks - Small Finance stock is the cheapest?
On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Capital Small Finance Bank Ltd screens cheapest at 0.09×. Only 7 of 9 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Banks - Small Finance lender has the largest funding base?
AU Small Finance Bank Ltd has the largest reported deposit base at ₹1,52,661 crore. For lenders, deposits and borrowings are operating inputs rather than leverage, so they are read against asset quality and returns instead of as debt.
Which Banks - Small Finance stock has the strongest price momentum?
Suryoday Small Finance Bank Ltd has the strongest relative strength against NIFTY 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.
Which Banks - Small Finance company scores highest for research priority?
Suryoday Small Finance Bank Ltd scores 66.9 out of 100 with 97% evidence confidence, from 31.8 points on growth and earnings, 10.8 on capital efficiency, 7.8 on valuation and 16.5 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Banks - Small Finance companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
