Sole Proprietorship Registration in Kochi — FAQs

Is sole proprietorship really legal?

Yes — it is the most common business structure in India for shops and small services. The business is taxed in the owner's ITR (no separate company tax).

When should I switch from proprietorship to OPC or LLP?

When annual turnover crosses ₹15-20 lakh, the proprietor liability becomes risky. Convert to OPC (solo) or LLP (with a partner) for limited-liability protection.

Do I need GST as a proprietor?

Mandatory if turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh (services) or ₹40 lakh (goods), or if you sell on Amazon / Flipkart / Meesho. Otherwise voluntary.

Can a proprietor hire employees?

Yes. You will need PF (above 20 employees) and ESI (above 10 employees with salary ≤ ₹21,000).

What is the tax rate?

Proprietorship income is taxed at slab rates in your personal ITR — 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% under the new regime, plus 4% cess.
