Besides, the mutual fund business — Reliance Capital Asset Management (RCAM) — registered a profit before tax of Rs 308 crore for the year ended March 31, 2012, an increase of five per cent from the previous fiscal.

During the fourth quarter, Rel Cap posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 329.32 crore, as against net loss of Rs 6.46 crore in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.
The profit was driven by sale of stake in the life insurance business, profits in mutual funds and life insurance businesses and robust growth in commercial finance operation.
