Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between proprietorship and private limited company?
Proprietorship is owned by a single person with unlimited liability, while a private limited company is a separate legal entity with limited liability for shareholders. Proprietorship has minimal compliance but no liability protection.
Do I need GST registration for proprietorship?
GST registration is mandatory if your annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for special category states). For turnover below this limit, GST registration is optional but recommended for business credibility.
Can I convert my proprietorship to a company later?
Yes, you can convert your proprietorship to a private limited company, LLP, or partnership firm later. However, this involves closing the proprietorship and starting a new entity with proper asset transfer.
What are the ongoing compliance requirements?
Proprietorship has minimal compliance: GST returns (if registered), income tax returns, professional tax payments, and maintaining basic books of accounts. Much simpler compared to companies.
Can I have employees in a proprietorship?
Yes, you can hire employees in a proprietorship. You need to register for PF and ESI if you have more than specified number of employees, and comply with labor law requirements.
