One Person Company Registration in Delhi India
OPC Company Registration
One Person Company (OPC) is legally recognized by many countries. In India, earlier there was no provisions under Companies Act, 2013 regarding the Incorporation of Company by a single person. However the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) brought the new concept of OPC in 2013 for small entrepreneurs to encourage the business. OPC is an effective & systematic mechanism for small business. It requires less Incorporation Compliance, less tax & other legal compliances as compared with other kinds of companies. Incorporation of OPC allows a person to enter a Corporate world who were earlier carrying on the business in the form of Sole-Proprietorship Firm.

- The OPC must have atleast 1 Director and can have maximum 15 directors.

- The role of OPC’s Director is the same as that of other company’s directors that is to manage and control the affairs and functioning of the company and to obey the legal compliances under various laws governing companies.
- Like member of OPC, only a natural person who is above 18 years of age, having sound mind and not disqualified by law to become a director shall be eligible to become the director. The point to note is that one individual person is permitted to become director in maximum 20 private companies.

5. Perpetual Existence
OPC continues to exist even if its members and directors die. Thus, it will remain in existence unless it is dissolved or wound up by following a prescribed procedure of winding up.
