15 November 2013 a proprietor is a single person and that person can be changed only when he sell the business as a whole to another person. After the purchase, the buyer of the business will become new proprietor. In your case, proprietor shall sell his business to the name of his nephew and that nephew shall get registration of VAT, Service Tax, Central Excise as applicable before the sale and purchase happened.
