A Sole Proprietorship Firm does not have separate identity apart from its owner i.e. Sole Proprietor. A sole proprietor can operate multiple businesses under one PAN Card.

For income tax purpose  proprietorship firm are not separate entities, therefore assessment of all the firms registered under one PAN card, is done through merger of their accounting information. And assessee can also make stand alone balance sheets for different businesses if required. Hence, if bank required, you can prepare two separate balance sheets.
