We present a search for the baryon number B and lepton number L violating decays τ Λ π and τ Λ ¯ π produced from the e + e τ + τ process, using a 364 fb 1 data sample collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. No evidence of signal is found in either decay mode, which have | Δ ( B L ) | equal to 2 and 0, respectively. Upper limits at 90% credibility level on the branching fractions of τ Λ π and τ Λ ¯ π are determined to be 4.7 × 10 8 and 4.3 × 10 8 , respectively.
