OPC gives limited liability while allowing a single shareholder — with a mandatory nominee for continuity.
Turnover thresholds trigger mandatory conversion to private limited beyond prescribed limits.
The concept of a One Person Company (OPC) was introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, enabling a single individual to establish a company with limited liability protection. It gives the founder the legal status of a private company while maintaining the flexibility of managing the company alone. This structure aims to promote entrepreneurship and support the formalization of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises as defined under the MSME Act.
As per Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013, a One Person Company can be formed with only one director and one member. Interestingly, both roles can be filled by the same individual. Therefore, the decision to register one person company offers the opportunity to create a limited liability entity with minimal complexity.
Citizenship, nominee and sector checks.
Name, DSC, SPICe+ and COI.
AGM, filings and conversion triggers.
Positioning for startup schemes post-incorporation.
OPCs can only have one member, limiting their ability to raise substantial equity capital from multiple partners.
Activities like financial investments and charitable endeavors are not permissible.
Unlike a proprietorship, an OPC is taxed at corporate rates. However, you can explore tax exemptions for startups.
