How one can setup a Proprietary Trading Firm, any registration needed with SEBI, other formalities, etc?

If you are trading your own money (proprietary trading), there is no regulations as such.

A partnership/LLP would be better than a pvt ltd firm in terms of taxation. As a pvt ltd firm, if you want to take out your profits, you have to pay an additional dividend distribution tax of 15%. So your effective taxation can go as high as 50%.
