      Hello Pranav,

      To enable person account we have to use Customize Application

      Before you begin, make sure to:

      • Create at least one record type for accounts.
      • Grant read permission on contacts for profiles that have read permission on accounts.
      • Ensure that the contact sharing organization-wide default is set to “Controlled by Parent.”

      Once you complete the preliminary steps, contact Salesforce to enable person accounts and then:

      • From the object management settings for person accounts, go to Record Types.
      • Assign person account record types to profiles that require person accounts.
