Frequently Asked Questions
Is proprietorship registration mandatory in India?
There is no central registration. You are recognised as a proprietor through GST, Udyam, Shop Act and a current bank account — we obtain whichever ones apply to your business.
How much does proprietorship registration cost?
Our all-inclusive proprietorship setup package starts from ₹1,499 covering Udyam + GST + Shop Act filing.
Can I convert a proprietorship into a Pvt Ltd later?
Yes. Many businesses start as proprietorships and convert to LLP or Pvt Ltd as they grow. We handle the slump-sale / conversion paperwork.
What taxes apply to a proprietorship?
Profits are taxed in the proprietor's personal ITR under normal slab rates. GST applies if turnover crosses the threshold.
Do I need a separate PAN for my proprietorship?
No. Your personal PAN is used. The firm's name appears on GST, Udyam and bank accounts.
