Quick Summary
Sole proprietors cannot legally pay themselves a salary, as salary implies an employer-employee relationship distinct from the business owner. Attempting to record a fictitious employee salary is considered fraudulent. While you can't take a salary, sole proprietors are permitted to withdraw funds directly from the business.

No. Salary is paid by a distinct employer to a distinct employee.
So what if he takes salary a record it as employees salary and in actual there is no employee in his firm
It is called Scam.
Is there any penalty for that and how the govt or IT department know that
Sole propreitor can withdraw money from firm
