Jan 30 (Reuters) - India's PB Fintech PBFI.NS reported a sharp jump in third-quarter profit on Thursday, aided by rising sales of insurance policies.

The company's consolidated net profit rose 88% from a year earlier to 715.4 million rupees ($8.26 million) for the three months ended Dec. 31.

Analysts said PB Fintech continues to benefit from increasing demand in India's largely untapped insurance policy aggregator sector, aided by improving financial awareness and income levels.

The company operates online insurance aggregator Policybazaar and credit marketplace Paisabazaar.

PB Fintech's revenue from operations rose 48% to 12.92 billion rupees, led by a 62% jump in insurance broker services, its largest segment.

The company's insurance premium grew 44%, mainly from a 47% growth in new health and life insurance premium.

Meanwhile, its credit business, which took a hit following the Indian central bank's crackdown on unsecured lending, continued to face slowdown.

PB Fintech said its disbursal in the online credit business was down 20% year-on-year, with revenue from the segment dropping 18%.

However, its total lending disbursal rose 52%, led mainly by the new secured credit business which was started in the previous quarter.

BENGALURU, Nov 5 (Reuters) - India's PB Fintech PBFI.NS, which owns and operates online insurance aggregator Policybazaar, reported a profit for a fourth straight quarter on Tuesday, aided by higher demand for insurance policies.

Meanwhile, its credit business, which had taken a hit due to the Indian central bank's crackdown on unsecured lending, faced some slowdown, with disbursement remaining flat during the quarter compared to last year, and revenue declining 8%.

BENGALURU, May 7 (Reuters) - India's PB Fintech PBFI.NS, the parent of online insurance aggregator Policybazaar, reported a profit for a second straight quarter on Tuesday, as sales rose in a seasonally-strong quarter amid easing marketing spends.

The company, which also operates online credit marketplace Paisabazaar, posted a consolidated net profit of 605.9 million rupees ($7.3 million) for the quarter ended March 31, against a net loss of 89.5 million rupees a year ago.

The January-to-March quarter sees high insurance sales as taxpayers buy policies to avail tax rebates at the financial-year end.

PB Fintech's revenue from operations rose more than 25% to 10.9 billion rupees, as revenue from its largest segment, insurance broking, more than doubled.

The company, which reported its first-ever profit in the December-quarter, has been cutting marketing and promotional expenditure in a bid to focus on profitability.

In the March quarter, its advertising and promotion expenses fell nearly 48% from a year earlier to 2.38 billion rupees.

Meanwhile, its credit business growth slowed following the Indian central bank's crackdown on unsecured lending.

The annualised credit disbursal run-rate, a gauge projecting loan disbursement for the year, was at 140 billion rupees as at March-end, down from 150 billion rupees a year earlier.

PB Fintech's shares ended 3.1% lower ahead of the results.

Recasts with Google statement

By Aditya Kalra and Munsif Vengattil

NEW DELHI, March 5 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google GOOGL.O will restore the Indian apps it deleted after a billing dispute, the company said on Tuesday, a reversal in stance following pushback from the government and local internet startups.

The U.S. firm on Friday removed more than 100 Indian apps, including popular ones by Matrimony.com MATI.NS, for not complying with its policy of paying a service fee when in-app payment options other than Google's are used.

"In the spirit of cooperation, we are temporarily reinstating the apps of the developers with appeals pending in the Supreme Court," Google said in a statement.

The decision was taken after a closed-door meeting between Google India head Sanjay Gupta and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, a source familiar with the discussions said.

The app removals sparked criticism from Indian companies, many of which have been at loggerheads with Google for years.

The dispute centres on efforts by some Indian startups to stop Google from imposing a fee of 11%-26% on in-app payments, after the country's antitrust authorities ordered it not to enforce an earlier fee of 15%-30%. The startups have challenged Google's policy in courts, including the Supreme Court, and before the antitrust watchdog.

"We believe that in the coming months, both the start-up community as well as Google would be able to come to a long-term resolution," Vaishnaw told Reuters partner ANI after meeting Google.

Vaishnaw on Saturday criticized Google's decision to remove apps, saying it "cannot be permitted".
