The organisers of the talk said the programme had been cancelled, without giving a reason.
"He will not visit London next week as he is not keeping well," one of the Indian officials said.
Jaitley skipped a meeting of finance ministers from the Group of 20 countries in Argentina last month. He told Reuters at the time he was not in a position to take a long flight.
In 2014 he had a gastric bypass operation to keep his diabetes in check.
Jaitley went to Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences for tests related to a kidney ailment, officials at the Finance Ministry and at the medical facility said.
A medical report is due on Friday, one of the Finance Ministry officials said. They declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter and the Finance Ministry did not make any formal comment on the minister's health.
