We are based in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. Ours is propritorship firm and my father was a proprietor. He died in the month of February 2013. Till now we have not changed the functioning of firm on paper.There are also tax liabilities pending for the F.Y. 2012-13. The turnover of the firm is 1 crore (approx.). Please suggest the procedure to convert this firm from proprietory to partnership or pvt. ltd. concern. Also what factors should be considered to convert proprietorship firm to a partnership firm or a pvt, ltd. co.
