Potassium permanganate is KMnO4
Antimony chloride is either SbCl3 or SbCl5
It looks like you are oxidizing the antimony from valence 3 to 5, so you're starting with SbCl3, and starting from Mn+7 and reducing it to Mn+2
SbCl3 + KMnO4 + ? ====> KCl + MnCl2 + SbCl5 + H2O
But there are some things missing/not displayed in your question, so I'm not sure what else is going on.
But here are some critical half-reactions involved:
Sb+3 ===> Sb+5 + 2e-
Mn+7 + 5 e- ===> Mn+2
Balance those reactions, and the rest should follow.

repost question with the chemical equation in the body and not the title. This is what we see:
can u give me balanced equation potassium permanganate+antimonychloride+... gives kcl+mncl2+sbcl5+h2o?
