This discussion addresses whether income from a trading business, operating in Arunachal Pradesh under a Power of Attorney (POA) granted by the shop license holder, can be declared under the client's personal tax file. The client has obtained GST registration and opened a bank account in the firm's name, signing based on the POA. Clarification is sought on the distinction between a proprietorship firm, where the proprietor is the owner, and a situation involving a POA.
