Dear D Selvan,
I wonder why you have raised the queries as they are of very primary level.The Proprietary Concern, A Partnership Firm, a limited Company etc are the forms of ownership of business. Since you yourself wish to start a business, there is nothing wrong with the idea. In India, any person of sound mind can start a legal business of his own. The name of the proprietary firm, logo, style and lettering, trade mark etc can be registered provided they do not copy or give impression of any firm which is already registered. You are the sole owner of the business and you can have a number of different business at the same time. There is no restriction, in fact there cannot be any restriction on business provided the business is not for any illegal purposes. Your own name can be registered as a firm for example M/s. D. Selvan can be a name of your firm and it can be got registered.

Hi Selvan !
I would like to revert point-wise in more simple terms to further what Advocate Kulkarni said:
1. If you register your firm or company or whatever entity you create, it automatically doesn't restrict or create your right on trademark. You have to additionally register for trademarks etc. Once registered, then rest persons are restricted to use the same mark etc.
2. Yes you can register multiple businesses under a single comp name but its not advisable as different and unrelated activities diffuse the brand image. So unless activities are related, you should not use same name or brand. Its like using "AIRTEL" for Bharti's retail store which will destroy its brand-Airtel.
3. Yes, you can register your own name as a comp name. There's no restriction to that as long as no one else has registered that name already.
