What is an OPC?

An OPC is a legal entity under the Companies Act, 2013 that allows a single individual to register a company while availing limited liability — protecting personal assets. Only one member/shareholder is required; a nominee must be designated who steps in if the sole member becomes incapacitated or passes away.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is OPC mandatorily required to convert into Private Limited Company after reaching a threshold?
No. The earlier rules which mandated conversion of OPC into Pvt Ltd on crossing certain thresholds (like paid-up capital of ₹50 lakhs or turnover exceeding ₹2 crore) have been abolished. So now, even if your business grows beyond those thresholds, you can retain OPC status indefinitely — conversion is voluntary, not mandatory
Yes — after the updates in 2021, the resident-Indian requirement has been relaxed. NRIs can now form an OPC

• Maintain proper books of accounts & records.
• File annual returns and financial statements with ROC (AOC-4, MGT-7, etc.). 
• Hold at least one board meeting in each half-year (or every six months) if more than one director; for single-director OPC, board meetings are not mandatory.

Can I convert OPC to Private Limited later if business grows?
Yes — OPC can be converted voluntarily into a Private Limited Company by passing a special resolution, altering MOA/AOA, appointing at least one additional member & director, and filing Form INC-6 with ROC
OPC is best when you are solo — no partners, no investors — and want simplicity + limited liability. Pvt Ltd is more suited when you expect growth, investors, partners, or want easier transfer of shareholding.

OPC is excellent if you are starting out alone or running a small venture. Pvt Ltd is better suited for businesses planning to scale, raise funds, or bring in partners.
