Quick Summary
A newly qualified chartered accountant is seeking clarification on the distinction between 'Sole Practice' and 'Proprietor' when registering their firm. The discussion explains that 'Sole Practice' typically means a one-person firm under your own name, while 'Proprietor' allows for a specific firm name and the possibility of taking on multiple partners. The ICAI website lists firms under these two categories, Sole Proprietorship Firms and Partnership Firms.

Under Sole practice.....it wil be a one person firm in your name....

while in Proprietor you will get specific firm name can only be used by you in India and can have multiple Partners (CA) working with you jointly.

you can see the list ...on ICAI.org website list of firms with two categories....as Sole Proprietorship Firms and Partnerships Firms .

hope it cleared your doubt.🙂
