    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.

    Eligibility Criteria for One Person Company Registration in India

    1. Minimum & Maximum Member/Shareholder – Only 1

    • The companies Act, 2013 requires that OPC can have only one member or shareholder and the Shareholder/ Member of the company is the one who absolutely owns the 100% sharesof the company and thus known as absolute owner of the company.
    • Only an individual i.e. the Natural Person who is both the citizen and resident of India is eligible to become the member of OPC. Moreover, one person can become the member in only 1 OPC.

    2. Nominee – 1

    • Since the OPC has only one member therefore it must appoint one nominee at the time of incorporation of company, so that the nominee can act as the member of the company in case of death or incapacitation of the member of the OPC.

    3. Directors – Minimum 1 & Maximum 15

    • 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.
    • The member of OPC can also become the director of company.

    4. Name of the Company

    • The name of every company registered with ROC has 3 main components that are
      • Main Name (e.g. XYZ),
      • Activity – it shall carry out after incorporation (e.g. Business Consultants) and
      • Suffix – “(OPC) Private Limited”(e.g. XYZ BUSINESS CONSULTANTS (OPC) Private Limited)

    5. Registered Office Address

    • It is basically the main office address of the company which is used for all official communication of the company by the company and thus, all mails or legal notices with respect to the company are sent by all the government departments to this registered office address only.
    • The One Person Company is required to propose the Registered Office address along with the proof of address at the time of incorporation and then to maintain all the prescribed documents post incorporation.
    • The key point is that the Residential address can also be used as Registered Office Address of the Company.

    • Paid-up Share Capital is the actual of amount of capital for which shares has been issued during incorporation and the members are required to introduce this much amount in the company just after the incorporation. Unlike Authorized Capital, there is no minimum limit of paid up share capital.

    Key Benefits of One Person Company Registration

    1. Less ROC Compliances Burden 

    OPC is a Private Limited Company with one member as per Section 2(68) of the Companies Act, 2013. Therefore, OPC is required to comply with the ROC Compliances that are applicable on Private Limited Companies.

    However, the companies Act, 2013 have exempted the OPC from a number of ROC Compliances such as it is not required to hold Annual General Meeting and so on, in order to promote OPCs. Eventually, the OPC has comparatively less ROC Compliances burden.

    2. Organized format of Proprietorship 

    OPC is considered as an organized format/version of Proprietorship, as several small and medium proprietors who want to work in corporate domain but with absolute authority can incorporate OPC. Thus, OPC will enjoy the benefits of Proprietorship and Private limited.

    3. Limited Liability

    Unlike Proprietorship, the liability of the member of OPC is limited to the extent of its shares in the OPC.

    4. Separate Legal Entity

    Like Private Limited, OPC is a separate legal entity in the eyes of law. Thus, it is different from its member and directors and it enjoys all the rights of an incorporated body. It can sue and be sued in its corporate capacity and has common seal and can own assets in its own name.

    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.

    6. Enjoys Social Recognition

    Since OPC has corporate status in society thus it helps the company to attract quality workforce and more funds in comparison of proprietorship. Therefore, it enjoys more social recognition against the unregistered businesses and non-body coporates.
