Name and history Bakshi Ka Talab is named after its large tank built by Bakhshi Tipur Chand, who was paymaster for Nasir-ud-Din Haidar Shah in the first half of the 19th century. This structure was built with flights of stairs descending to the water's surface on all four sides, and four towers marking the corners. A temple to Banke Bihari was built facing the main road, and next to it, Bakhshi Tipur Chand had a mansion built, along with a walled garden. By the turn of the 20th century, the complex had fallen into ruin. Around that time, Bakshi Ka Talab was described as being within the land belonging to Rudahi village, to the west. It had a train station on the Lucknow–Bareilly Railway, a post office, and a village school.

Bakshi Ka Talab was first upgraded to nagar panchayat status for the 2011 Census, with 23 villages being merged into the territory of the city.
