One Person Company (OPC) Registration in India – Process, Fees & Documents
The One Person Company (OPC) registration is an increasingly popular choice for entrepreneurs who want limited liability and a separate legal identity while enjoying complete control of their business. OPC is a unique structure that allows a single individual to register a company, combining the benefits of a sole proprietorship with the legal protection of a private limited company.
Introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, the concept of OPC enables a single entrepreneur to start a company while enjoying the advantages of corporate status without requiring multiple directors or shareholders.
At Clarvex, we make the OPC registration process in India simple, seamless, and affordable. From preparing documents to filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), our team of experts handles everything so you can focus on building your business.
OPC - Incorporation Certificate [Sample]
What is a One Person Company (OPC)?
A One Person Company is a type of private limited company registered under the Companies Act, 2013. It requires only one person, who becomes both the director and shareholder of the company.
OPCs must include “OPC Private Limited” or “OPC Pvt. Ltd.” at the end of their registered name.
Earlier, private limited companies required a minimum of 2 directors and 2 members. With the introduction of Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013, an OPC allows single individuals to enjoy the benefits of incorporation without needing multiple shareholders.
Benefits of OPC Registration in India
Registering a One Person Company (OPC) comes with multiple advantages:
✅ Limited Liability
Your personal assets remain protected. If the business faces losses, creditors cannot claim the director’s personal property.
✅ Increased Credibility
An OPC, being a private limited company, holds greater trust and recognition compared to sole proprietorships. A Certificate of Incorporation is issued by the MCA.
✅ Perpetual Succession
Unlike proprietorships, an OPC does not end with the death of the owner. A nominee director takes charge, ensuring business continuity.
✅ Separate Legal Entity
The OPC is a legal entity in itself, meaning it can own assets, borrow money, and enter into contracts independently of its owner.
✅ OPCs for NRIs
As per the Union Budget 2021-22, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who have resided in India for at least 120 days in the previous financial year can also incorporate an OPC.
Step-by-Step OPC Registration Process
The OPC registration in India is a 100% online process. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Apply for Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
Since the entire process is digital, the director must obtain a DSC for authentication. This involves document, video, and phone verification and is usually completed within 24 hours.
Step 2: Apply for Name Approval
Using the SPICe+ RUN form, you can propose a company name along with the business activity code and object clause. The name must be unique and not conflict with existing company names or legal emblems.
Step 3: File the SPICe+ Form (INC-32)
This form includes:
- Company details
- Subscriber & director details
- Application for DIN (Director Identification Number)
- PAN & TAN application
- Professional certification and declarations
Step 4: Draft and File e-MoA (INC-33) & e-AoA (INC-34)
- MoA (Memorandum of Association): Defines the company’s constitution, powers, and objectives.
- AoA (Articles of Association): Outlines rules and internal governance.
Step 5: Issuance of Certificate of Incorporation (COI)
Once approved, the MCA issues:
- Certificate of Incorporation (COI)
- PAN & TAN
- Director Identification Number (DIN)
- Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)
After incorporation, the company can open a current bank account and start operations.
