what are the charges to register firm as sole proprietor

Dear Tushar,
What about 80TTA deduction if there is no savings account at all..!!
If one has option to open either savings or current account then it will always be better to have savings account, as one can receive interest and minimum balance requirement can be less in savings account as compared to current account.

Dear Tushar,
Please go through the all conversation above carefully, nowhere I have said that current account is not for business. Here we are discussing about applicability of savings account.

dear all please note that:
1. Tushar appears to be correct on this. RBI Guidelines dont permit buiness concerns (including proprietors) to open saving bank account. While I am unable to locate the exact circular. But the rules posted on various banks' website clarify this point in black and white. please refer http://www.iob.in/uploads/Saving%20Bank%20Rules.pdf
and http://www.icicibank.com/Personal-Banking/account-deposit/special-savings-account/eligibility.page
Further, where restriction on opening saving bank account is placed by any specific regulations other than RBI, the banks dont permit opening of saving accounts in such cases too. For eg, Societies Act doesn't permit opening of saving bank account. So recently SBI has ordered closure of saving accounts of various societies. You may refer http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-09-16/news/53983604_1_sbi-official-sb-accounts-arundhati-bhattacharya
2. However, institutionalized saving accounts are permitted under RBI guidelines. But for limited purposes to specific entities. Institutional Savings Account are offered to Trust, Association, Society, Club, NGO, Charitable Hospital, Educational Institute, Section 25 companies.
3. However, you may find enough caselaws with mention of proprietors having saving bank account. For eg Devender Kumar, New Delhi vs Department Of Income Tax (ITA No.2990/DEL/ 2012(Assessment Year : 2007-08 ) Thus, tax authorities don't care whether you got saving or current account.
4. The issue of 80TTA etc therefore, becomes, inconsequential in nature. For eg, I do receive a lot of fee income in my saving account. 80TTA cannot be denied on the grounds that business income was received in this account.
