After uploading your picture, the next steps asks you for other information with a Slidder to choose are you also the Authorized Signatory. Choose Yes here.

In future, if proprietorship becomes shared what changes would come in Authorised signature? Will it automatically change to B.O.D. or is there a procedure that'll follow?

In case in future if proprietorship has been changed to Partnership/company then the GSTIN of proprietor should be surrendered and should obtain a new GSTIN where in the authorized signatory can be provided as usual.
