CA’s Insights

Many founders assume OPC has “low compliance,” but annual ROC filings and income tax returns are mandatory even with zero turnover. Proper structuring at the time of incorporation helps avoid future penalties and forced conversion issues.

Public Limited Companies are subject to stricter and more frequent compliances compared to private companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Do I need a CA to register an OPC?

    CA involvement in OPC registration helps with strategic name approval, drafting the Memorandum & Articles of Association, nominee structuring, capital planning, and ensuring long-term tax and compliance efficiency areas where most first-time founders make costly mistakes.

  2. Can an OPC be converted into a Private Limited Company later?

    Yes, an OPC can be voluntarily converted into a Private Limited Company after two years of incorporation, or earlier if business growth requires additional shareholders or funding.

  3. Is GST Registration mandatory for LLPs?

    GST registration is required only if the turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold limit or if the business falls under compulsory GST registration categories.

  4. Can a foreign citizen register an OPC in India?

    No, only a natural person who is an Indian citizen and resident in India can incorporate an OPC.

  5. Is it easy to raise funding in an OPC structure?

    OPC is not ideal for external funding since it allows only one shareholder. Businesses planning to raise equity investment usually convert into a Private Limited Company.
