Yes.
1. It depends upon them and no specific law comes in their way. It is advisable to appoint any independent arbitrator/mediator/valuer in this process so that no discrimination may be made with any person.
2. Rates are different from State to State.
3. They shall have to be got cancelled or shall get cancelled as soon as proprietorship ends.
