About

CA. Deepak Bholusaria has spent 27 years at the coal face of direct taxation advising clients, arguing matters in litigation, and teaching practitioners across India how to navigate an increasingly complex law. He is one of Delhi's most recognised direct tax faculty members, known equally for his command of the statute and his ability to make intricate provisions immediately usable in practice.

He stands at a unique intersection 27 years of direct tax practice on one side, and a deep, practical command of Artificial Intelligence on the other. As India's data protection landscape shifts with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and as AI tools reshape how CA firms operate, he helps practitioners navigate both with confidence.

With the Income-tax Act, 2025 now in force, Deepak is among the practitioners actively engaged in studying, analysing, and disseminating knowledge on the transition mapping new provisions against the familiar framework of 1961, identifying what has changed and what has not, and helping CAs prepare their practice and their clients for the shift.
