Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies what happens to business liabilities when a sole proprietor passes away, stating that legal heirs are responsible for settling debts. It also addresses whether personal expenses, such as installing a lift for personal use in a building, can be claimed as business expenses. Generally, only expenses incurred exclusively for the business are deductible, though proportionate depreciation might be claimable if the business operates from the same premises.

1. Legal heir/s.

2. How can he?

1. there's no such law applicable for proprietary concerns. in case of death of proprietor his legal heirs need to settle all business claims
2. only expenses incurred wholly and exclusively for carrying on business are deductible. however if proprietor was carrying on business in the premises where lift was installed and its also being used for dwelling purposes then proportionate depreciation can be claimed on lift.
Thank you....Sir
