One Person Company (OPC) Registration

All the Benefits of a Pvt Ltd — For Solo Entrepreneurs

Get Started

What is a One Person Company?

A One Person Company (OPC) is a hybrid business structure introduced by the Companies Act, 2013, allowing a single individual to form a company with limited liability — combining the simplicity of a proprietorship with the legal protection and credibility of a company.

Unlike a proprietorship, an OPC is a separate legal entity, its debts are not the owner’s personal debts, and it can own property, enter contracts, and sue or be sued in its own name.

An OPC requires one director and a nominee director. VITTAX assist with DSC, DIN, name approval, SPICe+ incorporation filing, MOA/AOA drafting, PAN, TAN, and post-registration compliance guidance.

An OPC must convert to a Private/Public Limited Company if paid-up share capital exceeds ₹50 Lakhs OR average annual turnover exceeds ₹2 Crores.
