Custodial history: The founder of the Dutta family of Hatkhola is often traced back to Purushottam Dutta. He was originally from Bally. Later he moved to Andul. Purushottam Dutta had three sons, Ramsharan, Gobindasharan and Harisharan. Ramsharan stayed back in Andul. Gobindasharan moved to Garh Gobindapur and Harisharan chose Muragacha in Bengal for settling down. Ramchandra Dutta (the grandson of Gobindasharan), left Garh Gobindapur to settle down in Chitpore in north Calcutta in the late 17th century. Ramsharan Dutta was the mutsuddi of the import-export department of the East India Company.Ramchandra Dutta started working with the East India Company. He was a mutsuddi (middleman) and a zamindar as well. His grandson Jagatram Dutta moved to Hatkhola, the main trading centre of Calcutta at that time and permanently settled down there. Jagatram Dutta became the Dewan of the East India Company posted at the import-export department of the Patna warehouse. He built the gigantic heritage building at Hatkhola, one of the oldest palaces of old Kolkata. Although they worked with the Company at large but they never lost their identity. Rather they were able to carve out their own independent niche among the British circle. Other notable people from this family included Durgaram Dutta and Madanmohan Dutta. Under Mir Zaffar a committee was constituted of 13 commissioners to decide the fate of the wealth taken off by Siraj ud-Daulah during his invasion of Calcutta in 1756. Durgaram Dutta was one of them. Madanmohan Dutta was the Dewan of Lord Fergusson. He was a Baniyan (a middleman) and as well as an independent businessman.
