A sole proprietorship mutual fund investor is a business entity, a sole proprietorship, investing in units of SEBI-registered mutual fund schemes. A sole proprietorship is not a separate legal person distinct from the individual who owns it; legally, the sole proprietor and the proprietorship are one and the same person. This characteristic distinguishes sole proprietorship investing from corporate body or partnership/LLP investing, and has significant implications for KYC, account setup, and taxation.

Zerodha sole proprietorship account is a trading and demat account opened in the name of a sole proprietorship business by Zerodha for managing the business’s investable surplus or for the proprietor to trade under the firm’s identity. A sole proprietorship is not a legal entity distinct from the proprietor; there is no separate statute governing sole proprietorships in India (unlike companies under the Companies Act, 2013 or LLPs under the LLP Act, 2008). The sole proprietorship and the individual proprietor are the same person in the eyes of the law. Accordingly, a sole proprietorship account at Zerodha is structurally very similar to a resident individual account, with the primary distinction being that the account is opened in the business’s name (e.g., “M/s ABC Traders”) using the proprietor’s PAN, and is linked to the firm’s bank account (current account in the firm’s name).
