Yes, you may open a bank account in the name of your business. You need to obtain licence under Shops & Establishments Act. Apart from this you need to obtain licences from respective departments depending upon the business you intend to do. Please note, proprietory concern and proprietor are same in the eyes of law unlike other forms of companies.
