In the beginning of 1935 late Lala Shanti Pershad Jain of Delhi opened a book-shop named JAIN BOOK AGENCY in Connaught Place, New Delhi a shop that could cater the entire need of businessmen, corporate houses and lawyers. In that time of recession and uncertainty, he bought a place in the then very remote and ignored area called Connaught Place, built and developed by the British (today one of the top ten market places in the world). It was the birth of a legend; the beginning of JAIN BOOK AGENCY!

It is the oldest and the single largest agent for Government and various institutional publications in India. The list of respectful patrons and customers includes the cream of Indian society. JBA has become an ultimate in providing service and variety in law/commercial books and business directories. The choice you get here is rarely found at one place anywhere in India. Many fake people are trying to repeat the style so beware.
