Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SME or SMB or MSME) are the backbone of the Indian economy and a reflection of its diversity. Remember that entrepreneurship is a genuine Indian aspiration.

1 Starting a New Business

A business is a setting for trading, transact for a profitability and make money, but an entity (firm, company, organisation) is a regulatory framework governed by local / central laws / acts.

To do a business in India, particularly many small businesses, you do not need to start a "company", unless you want the advantages of such framework and/or mandated to certain circumstances like limited liability, protection to personal, business assets.

2 Income Tax Help for SMEs

Every business other than a sole proprietorship must file their Income Tax annually. For sole proprietorship businesses are required to file Income Tax if the income is more than Rs. 2.5L in a year.

It is very important to note that businesses shouldn't neglect file their income tax as it is an important document for future loans, and to reflection / basis for credit worthiness more than regulatory compliance.
