1 Two returns has to be filed.
To form a private limited company from a sole proprietorship, the procedure is to first form the private limited company and then take over the sole proprietorship through a Memorandum Of Association (MoA) and transfer all benefits and liabilities to the limited company.
2 In such a case account the sales and income under prop and pay taxes.

@CA R SEETHARAMAN : My friend has also advised me to carry on the accounting treatment as described in ICAI Module - Accounting for Pre & Post Incorporation profit. Is it correct?

Yes, you will have to account for all incomes and expenses in the books of Sole Proprietor till Feb 2022.
Small private limited company no need to follow ICAI module.
From March account it in company books.

@Romil Shah,
Do you mean company has zero income till February ?

@Romil Shah
Follow the advice as given by above member.
My observation is :
If the proprietorship is transferred/ converted to Pvt Ltd then why the invoices were not raised in the name of company from October ,2021?

@Eshwar Reddy S : I can only say it was laziness on the person handling invoicing. I just want to know are there any legal consequences because of this ?
