As there is no specific law applicable on the sole proprietorship it’s easy to operate and compliance are minimal.

The PAN card of the proprietor will be used for the opening bank account, obtaining licenses/registrations/ certificates in the name of the sole proprietorship and filing an income tax return for the sole proprietorship. Hence, obtaining PAN card for the Proprietor is the first step in establishing a sole proprietorship.

An Act to amend and consolidate the law relating to the regulation of hours of work, payment of wages, leave, holidays, terms of service and other conditions of work of persons employed in shops, commercial establishments, establishments for public entertainment or amusement and other establishments and to provide for certain matters connected therewith.
GST registration
GST stands for Goods and Services Tax. GST will be a single, destination based, consumption tax that will replace existing taxes, including CENVAT, Octroi, Sales Tax, and Excise Duty, etc. Unlike the old tax structure, where the state of origin received tax revenue, in the new GST model the state in which goods and services are consumed is the state that will receive the revenue.
