What a sole proprietorship firm?
It is a small, one-person firm. Remember, this is not a company; rather, it is the most cost-effective and compliant way to start a business in India. For legal registration, only one person is needed.
Since a sole proprietorship has no legal status, the main goal is to open a current bank account. However, banks need legal evidence to open a current bank account under your business name rather than your personal name, so you must apply for at least one tax registration certificate to open a Proprietorship current bank account.

When it comes to financial and other costs, sole proprietorships are the most cost-effective business model. The simplest of the legally recognized business frameworks is the sole proprietorship. A tax filing separate from  personal income is not needed for sole proprietorships. Of course, there are many distinctions between sole proprietorships and companies, but these are some of the most notable.

You and your proprietorship are the same person in the eyes of the Income Tax and related legal regulations. This ensures that any benefit you make as a sole proprietor is included in your personal profits. Your personal and firm’s tax return will be combined into one. You should keep in mind, however, that sole proprietors might be liable for some tax credits. Self-employed people, for example, get a regular tax deduction and a modified tax rate to compensate for their lack of employer-provided benefits.
Yes, as a sole proprietor, you are legally responsible. Limited liability insurance is available to businesses working as companies and limited liability partnerships, although it is not available to sole proprietors. Instead, you will be held directly liable for the debts and legal judgments incurred by your company. If you are unable to pay your debts, your personal assets, such as cars and real estate, can be used to help you.
Sole Proprietorships do not have to go through the registration hoops as limited partnership or company. You may normally only announce your desire to act as a sole proprietorship instead.
