One Person Company Registration in India

One Person Company (OPC) involves the features of a Private Limited Company and the benefits of Sole Proprietorship. An OPC provides limited liability protection with fewer compliance requirements. ​​

It requires only one Director and one Nominee for successful formation. It is designed to cater to entrepreneurs and business owners where a single individual owns, operates, and manages the entire business.

Documents Required to Register a One Person Company

  • Identity Proof and Address Proof
    a. Passport/ Aadhar card/ Voter ID/ Driver's License of Directors /Shareholders,
    b. PAN card, and
    c. Utility bills or Bank Statements as address proof.
  • Proof of Registered Office
    a. If you own the Property, you need any utility bill like an electricity bill or corporation tax receipt not later than 30 days.
    b. If you use someone else’s Property, you need a Rental Agreement or No Objection Certificate (NOC).
  • Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA)
    a. MOA outlines the objectives and scope of activities. 
    b. AOA defines the internal regulations and governance structures.
  • Declaration and Consent of the proposed Director
    a. Form DIR-2 is the official consent to assume the Director role within the prospective company.
    b. Form INC- 9 serves as the official declaration
  • Declaration and Consent of the Nominee
    Form INC- 3, along with the PAN card and Aadhar Card, serves as the official consent of the Nominee.

Compliances for One Person Company

Even though there are fewer compliances, fulfilling the provisional requirements of such incorporation is mandatory.

For Directors/ Shareholders

An OPC is required to have at least one Director (shareholder) and can appoint a maximum of 15 Directors. If you wish to exceed this maximum limit, you must formally file a resolution to increase the number of directors allowed.

During OPC Registration, it is mandatory to appoint a nominee.

For One Person Company

  • Board Meetings
    Minimum of two board meetings, with at least one in each half of the year and a minimum of 90 days separating each session.
  • Filing of Annual Return
    File Annual Returns through form MGT-7 at the end of the Financial year.
  • Filing of Financial Statements
    File Financial Statements through form AOC-4 at the end of the Financial year.
  • Filing of ADT-1
    File Form ADT-1 within 15 days of the appointment of the subsequent auditor.
  • Auditor appointment
    Appoint the first auditor within 30 days of incorporation, who will serve until the end of the first Annual General Meeting.
  • Filing of DIR-3 KYC
    File Form DIR-3 KYC to disclose details of the Director before 30th September of the immediate financial year.

These mentioned compliances are just a starting point, and there may be additional requirements specific to your business. Always keep yourself informed about relevant compliances to ensure a hassle-free business operation.

Minimum Capital Requirement

No minimum paid-up capital requirement exists for registering a One Person Company (OPC) in India. However, the minimum authorized capital required is Rs. 1,00,000 (One Lakh)

*As a One-person company has one shareholder, the shareholder has to have at least one share. So, the paid-up capital of the company is at least Rs 1. This is subject to the requirement of the current account.

Tax Rates

The applicable Tax rate to the OPC would be 30% plus cess and surcharge.

The surcharge is charged on the amount of income tax calculated and is ideally 12%.

Health and Education cess at 4% shall also be levied on the amount of income tax plus surcharge (if any).

Advantages and Disadvantages of One Person Company

Advantages

  • Limited Liability
    The OPC's separate legal entity ensures liability is limited to just shares, and you are not personally liable for the loss of the company.
  • Less Incorporation Compliances
    The compliance requirements are fewer with such incorporation than the Private Limited Company or Public Company.
  • Smooth Management
    Like Sole Proprietorship, OPC is owned and managed by a single person, making business management and decision-making much more effortless.
  • Perpetual Succession
    Even with just one member, the OPC has the feature of continuous succession. The nominee chosen while incorporating the OPC often takes over during the unavailability of the sole member.
  • Availability of Funds
    An OPC can secure funds from banks and other financial institutions through debt-based funding options.

Disadvantages

  • Limited Expansion Opportunities
    The structure and features can only benefit a small business. It restricts expansion as no members or shareholders can be added as the company grows.

    The OPC also cannot carry out Non-Banking Financial Investment activities, including the investments in securities of any corporates.
  • Limited Resources
    The structure imposes constraints on how the business operates, particularly regarding management and resource allocation. Being primarily led or created by a single individual also narrows down the pool of skills and knowledge compared to other entities.

One Person Company Registration Number

The One Person Company Registration Number, or the Corporate Identification Number (CIN), is a distinctive 21-character alphanumeric code allocated to an OPC when registering with the Registrar of Companies (ROC)

Example of CIN for an OPC: U01403MH2015OPC264485

The CIN can be broken down into the following components-

  • Documentation Errors: Submitting documents with inaccuracies, inconsistencies, or omissions can lead to setbacks.
  • Name Approval Challenges: Opting for a company name that doesn't comply with naming regulations or is already taken can lead to holdups.  
    Our website provides a quick Company Name Search feature that can help pre-empt such complications.
  • MCA Server Glitches: Technical glitches on the MCA website may occasionally surface, causing application submission difficulties or data loss.
  • Response Time: A time limit is often imposed following name approval, within which you must finalize the registration process. Suppose you are unable to submit your application within this timeframe. In that case, you should make a fresh application for name approval.
  • Payment Processing Delays: Delays in payment processing can also affect the registration timeline.
  • Jurisdiction Variability: Distinct jurisdictions encompass varying processing durations and prerequisites that can influence the speed of your application's progress.

How to Get a Registration Number for a One Person Company?

Upon the approval of the SPICe+ Form,  you will receive a notification email from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), which will include the Certificate of Incorporation (COI), along with the PAN and TAN of the Company. This certificate contains vital information like -

  • Company Name,
  • Registration Number,
  • Date of Incorporation,
  • Registered Office Address,
  • Company Structure, etc.

One Person Company Registration Time

It takes approximately 7 to 10 days from the date of submission of documents, subject to approval by the MCA.

Things that Delay a Registration Process

The registration process for a company can be delayed due to various factors. A few examples are-

  • Documentation Errors or Omissions: Any inaccuracies, discrepancies, or missing documents can cause delays.
  • Name Approval Challenges: Delays can occur if the chosen company name doesn't meet naming guidelines or is already in use.
    Our quick Company Name and Trademark Search can help you avoid such complications and have a seamless company registration process. 
  • Technical Issues on the MCA Website: The MCA website may experience technical glitches or downtime, affecting your application submission.
  • Response Time: You typically have a limited time to complete registration after name approval; failure to do so may require reapplying for name approval.
  • Payment Processing Delays: Slow processing can extend the overall OPC registration timeframe.

Is there any threshold limit for an OPC to mandatorily get converted into either a Private or Public company?

If the paid-up share capital of an OPC goes beyond fifty lakh rupees or if its average annual turnover over the past three consecutive financial years exceeds two crore rupees, the OPC must undergo a mandatory conversion into either a private or public company.

Can I convert my OPC into a Private Limited Company?

You can easily convert your OPC into a Private Limited Company by passing a board resolution, amending the MoA and AoA, and intimating these changes to RoC through Form INC-6.

Can I be a nominee for multiple OPCs?

No, you can be a nominee for only one OPC at any given point in time.

What is the difference between OPC and Sole Proprietorship?

The primary difference is that in an OPC, members have limited liability, while in a sole proprietorship, members are personally responsible for all of the business's debts and obligations. 

An OPC is a separate legal entity, unlike a sole proprietorship.
