One Person Company (OPC) Registration

OPC allows a single owner to enjoy the benefits of a private limited company, such as limited liability, separate legal identity, perpetual existence, and easy access to funding, while still maintaining full control over the business. Unlike a sole proprietorship, OPC provides limited liability protection to its owner, which means the owner's personal assets are not at risk in case of any liabilities or losses incurred by the company.

WHAT IS ONE PERSON COMPANY?

One-person companies have one member. The promoter has limited responsibility and is a distinct legal entity.

One-person companies (OPCs) in India are for self-starters. One-person companies have one shareholder who is an Indian citizen and resident (stayed in India at least 182 days in the previous year).

In event of death or disability, shareholder nominates another. The 2013 Firms Act encouraged self-employment with one-person companies. You can’t form several companies or be an OPC nominee. OPC rules prohibit non-banking financial institutions.

An affidavit by each memorandum subscriber (members) and first director, if any, that they have not been convicted of any crime related to the creation or management of any business, fraud, or breach of duty to any company in the last five years.

One Person Company in India protects its only shareholder from liabilities.
