Overview
What is a One Person Company?
An OPC gives a single founder limited liability and a separate legal identity while retaining sole ownership and control.
Key takeaway: A One Person Company (OPC) is a private
company under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013 with exactly one member and a
mandatory nominee.
An OPC combines sole ownership with corporate protection. It lets a single eligible founder hold 100% of the shares and enjoy limited liability capped at the subscribed share capital. Unlike a sole proprietorship, the member's personal assets are generally separate from the company's liabilities.
Every OPC appoints a nominee through Form INC-3. If the member dies or becomes incapacitated, the nominee can take over membership, giving the company continuity. Incorporation is completed online through the MCA SPICe+ process.
There is no minimum authorised capital. The government filing fee on SPICe+ is nil for capital up to ₹15 lakh, though DSC and state stamp duty may apply.

Eligibility
Who can register an OPC?
OPC eligibility is governed by Rule 3 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014. The 2021 amendment relaxed the residency requirement for NRIs.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Citizenship | Indian citizen, resident or NRI |
| NRI residency | Minimum 120 days in India in the preceding financial year |
| Age | 18 years or above; minors cannot be members |
| Member limit | Exactly 1 member, plus 1 mandatory nominee (Form INC-3) |
| OPC limit per person | Maximum 1 OPC as member and 1 as nominee |
| Excluded activities | Non-banking financial investment activities and Section 8 non-profit companies |
| Foreign nationals | Not eligible to incorporate an OPC |
Planning to raise equity or add co-founders? A Private Limited Company may be a better
fit. For a professional partnership with lower compliance, consider an LLP.
Documents
Documents required for OPC registration
MCA needs identity and address documents for the member and nominee, plus proof for the registered office. Documents are generally uploaded as self-attested colour scans.
Director / member
PAN card, Aadhaar card, recent passport-size photograph, and address proof such as voter ID, passport or driving licence.
Nominee
PAN card, Aadhaar card, address proof and signed consent in Form INC-3.
Registered office
Recent utility bill (typically under two months old), ownership proof or rent agreement, and owner's no-objection certificate.
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC): A DSC is the electronic
signature used to authenticate MCA filings, including SPICe+ and AGILE-PRO-S. We help coordinate DSC
issuance and document checks before filing.
Conversion
Can an OPC be converted to a Private Limited Company?
Yes. Since the 2021 amendment, conversion is voluntary and can be considered when your business outgrows a single-member structure.
Earlier rules required an OPC to convert after crossing specified paid-up capital or turnover thresholds. Those mandatory conversion triggers were removed by the Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules, 2021.
Founders may choose conversion when they plan to add shareholders, bring in investors or expand ownership. The conversion application is made to the Registrar using Form INC-6 and related documents.

What is the cost of registering an OPC in India?
Founders Bridge's professional fee is ₹999. Government SPICe+ filing can be nil for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh. DSC and state stamp duty are billed at actuals, so a typical total is around ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 depending on your state and requirements.
How long does OPC registration take?
OPC registration generally takes 7 to 10 working days end to end. DSC procurement, name approval, MCA processing and document readiness can affect the timeline.
Who is eligible to register an OPC?
An Indian citizen who is at least 18 years old may form an OPC as its sole member. Eligible NRIs may also incorporate, subject to the applicable residency rules. Foreign nationals cannot register an OPC.
Is a nominee compulsory for an OPC?
Yes. An OPC must nominate another person and obtain their consent in Form INC-3. The nominee may become the member if the sole member dies or becomes incapable of contracting.
What documents are needed for OPC registration?
Typically: PAN, Aadhaar, photograph and address proof for the member and nominee; nominee consent in Form INC-3; and a recent utility bill plus premises-owner NOC for the registered office.
Do I get PAN and TAN with the Certificate of Incorporation?
Yes. PAN and TAN are generated as part of the SPICe+ incorporation filing and are issued with the Certificate of Incorporation.
Is there a minimum capital requirement for an OPC?
No. There is no statutory minimum authorised capital requirement for an OPC. State stamp duty may vary based on the capital and state of the registered office.
Can an OPC have more than one director?
An OPC must have one member, but it may appoint additional directors subject to the Companies Act and its Articles of Association.
Can an OPC raise funding?
An OPC cannot issue shares to outside investors while it remains a one-member company. A founder planning equity investment may consider conversion to a Private Limited Company.
Can an OPC be converted to a Private Limited Company?
Yes. Conversion is voluntary and may be carried out under the Companies Act and applicable rules. The earlier mandatory capital and turnover triggers were removed in 2021.
Is an OPC the same as a sole proprietorship?
No. An OPC is incorporated as a company with separate legal identity and limited liability. A sole proprietorship has no separate legal identity and the proprietor has personal liability for business obligations.
Which business is better suited to an OPC?
An OPC may suit a solo founder who wants a formal corporate entity and limited liability without adding a co-founder. If you expect investors or multiple owners, a Private Limited Company may be more suitable.
