Why Proprietorship
Why founders pick Proprietorship.
Lowest cost, lightest compliance, fastest to start. Best when you are a solo founder testing an idea, a freelancer, or a consultant who needs a GST and a current account - not a separate legal entity.
Lowest compliance load
No ROC filings, no statutory audit (unless turnover crosses tax-audit threshold), no board meetings. Just GST returns and your personal ITR.
Taxed at personal slab rates
Profits flow straight into your personal income. Under ₹3 lakh: nil; ₹3-7 lakh: 5%; ₹7-10 lakh: 10% (new regime FY 2024-25). No double taxation.
Presumptive taxation under 44AD / 44ADA
Businesses (turnover ≤ ₹3 cr) can declare 6%/8% deemed profit; professionals (≤ ₹75 lakh) can declare 50%. No need to maintain detailed books.
Full control, zero dilution
You are the business. Every decision, every rupee, every client relationship sits with you - no co-founders, no board, no shareholders.
Current account + banking ready
GST certificate + Udyam + Shop Act is the standard KYC stack every Indian bank accepts to open a current account in your trade name.
