Since the proprietor and the business are one and the same there is no registration of such proprietary businesses.

you can immediately start a sole prop firm
1) by opening a bank current account by that name
2) making/ calling yourself a prop of it
3) printing letter head and stamps
All your communications on behalf of prop firm should be signed as
"for XXXXXXXX(name of firm)
(Your name)
Proprietor
Nothing else,

Starting a proprietory concern does not involve any legal formalities as stated by the experts. But it needs to be registered under the local Shops & Establishments Act. The certificate of registration is required to be exhibited in the shop compulsorily. The cetificate should be renewed every year by paying the prescribed fee. Failure to comply with the above requirement results in prosecution under the Act.

There is no specific act to control Sole proprietorship business. It is a unlimited liability concern. Owner has unlimited liability.
No registration like partnership or company is required for sole proprietorship business.
But, Some other registrations PAN,TIN, Bank Current Account, Proprietor Seal and under shops and Establishment etc., may be required.
Proprietor is for the all the activities of his business. Proprietor's personal assets will also be affected if business assets are insufficient to settle business liabilities.
Tax liability is in the name of proprietor or in the name of proprietary concern.
But, in the eye of law business and proprietor both are same persons as per section 3 of Income Tax Act 1961.
