    Solution

    As per RBI KYC Directions for opening accounts of sole proprietorship firms, documents like ITR, Udyam, GST, and local authority certificates are accepted. Utility bills (e.g., electricity/gas) are not considered primary evidence of business existence, though they may be accepted only as supplementary for address proof — not for business validation.
