FAQs
Is GST mandatory for all proprietors?
No. You must register when your turnover crosses the threshold, you sell across states, or sell via e-commerce. We confirm applicability for your case.
Which ITR form applies?
Sole proprietors typically file ITR-3 or ITR-4 (presumptive). We advise based on your turnover and nature of income.
Can I use my home address as registered office?
Yes, a home address is acceptable with proper proofs and NOC from the owner, where required.
Do I need a separate PAN?
The business is not a separate legal entity; your personal PAN is used for taxes. Banks may accept Udyam/Shop Act as business proof.
