One Person Company/OPC Registration in India

An Overview- One Person Company Registration in India

A One Person Business (OPC) is a private limited company with a single member. It is possible to register with a single director. For proprietors, one person company registration in India is a viable option.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs governs One Person Company registration. A single person acquires complete ownership of the company. Nomination is necessary against that single owner's stake in the OPC.

If an OPC's paid-up share capital exceeds fifty lakh rupees or its average annual turnover over the preceding three fiscal years exceeds two crore rupees, it must change to a private or public company.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman revealed the modifications to one-person enterprises during her budget statement on Monday, February 1st, 2021. The change now allows NRIs to establish one-person enterprises in India. This change takes effect on April 1, 2021. Previously, only Indian residents could form one-person firms in India.

When launching a business in India, entrepreneurs are recommended to register as a one-person corporation. OPCs are treated as separate legal entities under the Companies Act of 2013. Entrepreneurs should choose a one-person company in India for greater business growth.
