Batliboi & Purohit, Chartered Accountants

What Batliboi & Purohit, Chartered Accountants does

Batliboi & Purohit, Chartered Accountants is a Mumbai-based partnership firm founded in 1907 by J.R. Batliboi, making it one of the oldest indigenous chartered accountancy practices in India and predating the establishment of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (1949). The firm is structured as a partnership with 15 partners and 150+ professionals covering Chartered Accountants, Certified Internal Auditors (USA), Information System Auditors, direct and indirect taxation specialists, management consultants, company secretaries, cost accountants, management graduates and retired bank officials. Its headquartered office is in Fort, Mumbai, co-located with banks, financial institutions and key government departments.

The firm's core service offering spans four lines: Attestation and Management Assurance (statutory, internal and tax audits; business risk reviews; IT and due diligence reviews for banks and PSUs); Tax and Business Advisory (income-tax planning and representation; indirect-tax work spanning central excise, customs, service tax and GST); Business Process Outsourcing (advance rulings, appellate representations, transfer pricing); and Transaction Support Services covering M&A advisory, post-merger integration, and project financing liaison with banks. Revenue is generated through per-engagement professional services fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Underlying technology is conventional — standard accounting software plus a website hosting 15+ rule-based web calculators (GST, TDS, Income Tax, HRA, EMI, RERA, NSC, net profit/worth) and a Knowledge Bank of regulatory bulletins, statutory acts and rate utilities, which function primarily as top-of-funnel content marketing rather than productised software.

The go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: engagements are partner-led, sourced through professional networks, direct client relationships and the firm's reputation. Client segments are primarily public and private sector undertakings, banks and financial institutions, corporate tax clients, and organisations involved in M&A or restructuring. The firm operates exclusively from Mumbai and is not publicly listed, with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions or external institutional ownership.
