The One Person Company (OPC) is an ideal structure for solo entrepreneurs who want to leverage the benefits of limited liability and separate legal identity without dealing with the complexities of partnerships or private limited companies.
Steps for One Person Company (OPC) Registration in India
- Digital Signature Certificate (DSC): Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for the sole director of the company.
- Director Identification Number (DIN): DIN can be obtained by filing the SPICe+ Form (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating Company Electronically) during the incorporation process.
- Name Reservation: Name Reservation is done through the RUN (Reserve Unique Name) service available on the MCA portal.
- Filing SPICe+ Form: The SPICe+ (Simplified Proforma for Incorporating a Company Electronically) form is an integrated web form that facilitates the incorporation of an OPC.
Benefits of OPC: The OPC has its own legal identity separate from its owner, offering better operational security. Since only one person is involved, the compliance and regulatory obligations are easier to manage than other forms like private or public companies.
Limitations of OPC: If the annual turnover exceeds ₹2 crores or the paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakhs, the OPC must convert into a private limited company.
