Finally, in 1933 the Zanzibar government issued Jetha Lila a trading licence to permit it to operate as a bank.

In the aftermath of the revolution Jetha Lila's primary clients left the island and in 1968 the bank ceased operations, despite the Revolutionary government urging it to stay.evolutionary government urging it to stay.
