There is no individual existence of  proprietorship business other than is owner.

So, PAN of individual will be used for his proprietorship business.

It is possible to obtain a new PAN in the name of sole proprietorship firm. Choice is of the individual - Income Tax Department does not object to it. 

My son-in-law, who is Chartered Accountant,  recently obtained a new PAN in the name of his sole-proprietorship firm.   Karvy, who receive applications for a new PAN, objected to this.   Finally, the Income Tax Help Line provided clarifications on phone to them and they received and processed the application for new PAN.  

However, it is important that the new PAN should only be used for transactions of the firm - customers who deal with sole-proprietorship firm should be given only new PAN (in the name of firm) and the PAN in personal name should not be quoted for deduction of any TDS by clients.

Now all banks are asking for separate pan for proprietor in the name of the business. (they are not allowing us to opening new bank account with individual pan)

what do you mean by NO

Its no need to make another PAN card if your Firm is Proprietorship firm

if you have proprietorship firm so need to make another PAN card for firm 

but if you are converting your firm in partnership firm or company so its compasary to make an PAN card for your Firm/Company
