One Person Company (OPC) Registration
Solo founder? Get a full corporate identity with limited liability — OPC registration done completely online by experts.
- Single-Founder Control
- Limited Liability
- Separate Legal Entity
What is One Person Company (OPC) Registration?
A One Person Company (OPC) lets a single entrepreneur run a registered company with limited liability and a separate legal identity — without needing a co-founder. Introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, it is ideal for solo founders, consultants and D2C brands that want corporate credibility.
Taxwapsi manages the entire process online: DSC, name reservation, nominee consent in Form INC-3, MOA/AOA drafting and SPICe+ filing with the ROC. A nominee (who takes over in case of the member’s death or incapacity) is mandatory and we handle that paperwork too.
You receive the Certificate of Incorporation, company PAN and TAN, plus guidance on INC-20A, auditor appointment and annual filings. We also advise on conversion to a Private Limited Company when you are ready to bring in co-founders or investors.
Expert Pro Tip
Choose your nominee carefully and keep their KYC ready — nominee consent (Form INC-3) is mandatory for OPC and missing nominee documents is the most common cause of filing delays.

Benefits of One Person Company (OPC) Registration
Single-Founder Control
100% ownership and decision-making power stays with you — no co-founder needed to get corporate status.
Limited Liability
Your personal assets are protected; liability is limited to your shareholding in the company.
Separate Legal Entity
The OPC contracts, owns assets and operates in its own name with perpetual succession through the nominee.
Better Credibility than Proprietorship
Banks, vendors and corporate clients treat an OPC as a real company — easier loans, contracts and tenders.
Lighter Compliance than Pvt Ltd
No AGM required, fewer board meeting formalities, and MGT-7A simplified annual return.
Easy Conversion to Pvt Ltd
Grow into a Private Limited Company anytime to add shareholders or raise investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can register an OPC in India?
Only a natural person who is an Indian citizen and resident in India (120+ days in the previous financial year) can incorporate an OPC. A person can hold membership in only one OPC at a time.
Why is a nominee mandatory for OPC?
Since the company has a single member, the Companies Act requires a nominee who becomes the member if the original member dies or becomes incapacitated — ensuring perpetual succession. The nominee must consent via Form INC-3 and can withdraw or be changed later.
Is there a turnover limit for OPC?
No. The earlier mandatory conversion on crossing ₹2 crore turnover was removed in 2021 — an OPC can now grow without forced conversion and can voluntarily convert to Pvt Ltd anytime.
Can an OPC raise funding?
An OPC cannot issue shares to multiple investors by definition. To raise equity funding you would first convert to a Private Limited Company — a straightforward process we can handle when you are ready.
What are the annual compliances for an OPC?
Auditor appointment, financial statement filing in AOC-4, annual return in MGT-7A, ITR-6, and DIR-3 KYC for the director. No AGM is required for an OPC.
How is OPC different from sole proprietorship?
A proprietorship has no separate legal identity — you are personally liable for all debts. An OPC is a registered company with limited liability, perpetual succession and far higher credibility, at the cost of moderate annual compliance.
Can an NRI register an OPC?
NRIs who satisfy the 120-day residency criterion in the previous financial year can incorporate an OPC, following the 2021 amendment. Documents executed abroad need notarisation/apostille.
What is the cost of OPC registration?
Our professional fee starts at ₹1,999, plus government costs (DSC, stamp duty, MCA fees) that vary by state and authorised capital — typically ₹1,500–₹3,000 for ₹1 lakh authorised capital. You get a transparent quote upfront.
