What is One Person Company (OPC)?
A One Person Company (OPC) is a company structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, that allows a single entrepreneur to run a business with the benefits of limited liability and separate legal identity.
Unlike a sole proprietorship, an OPC is a separate legal entity, meaning the personal assets of the owner are protected from business liabilities.

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

Do I need a CA to register an OPC?

-
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.
-
Is GST Registration mandatory for LLPs?
