Establish your sole proprietorship's identity with GST, Udyam or shop act registration — whichever fits.
India has no single registration for a sole proprietorship; the business is the owner, and it gains a recognised identity through registrations such as GST, Udyam (MSME) or a state shop and establishment licence. These documents let you open a current account in the business name and bill customers formally. We assess your activity and turnover and recommend the registrations that make sense for you.
One fixed professional fee, inclusive of GST, agreed with you before any work starts — no hourly billing, no surprises, and nothing charged until you approve it. Government fees, if any, for GST, Udyam or shop act registration charged at actuals.

No. A proprietorship is not a separate legal entity, so there is no incorporation certificate. Its existence is evidenced by registrations such as GST, Udyam, shop act licence or trade licences.
Banks generally accept two proof-of-business documents, such as GST registration, Udyam certificate, shop and establishment licence or professional tax certificate. Requirements vary by bank, so check with yours.
GST registration is mandatory if your turnover crosses the threshold applicable to your state and activity, or if you make inter-state supplies of goods or sell through e-commerce operators. Below the threshold it is optional.
Yes. Since the business and the owner are the same person in law, the proprietor's personal assets can be used to meet business liabilities.
Business income is taxed in the proprietor's own income tax return, generally ITR-3 or ITR-4 if presumptive taxation is opted. There is no separate return for the business.
