What is a One Person Company

The One Person Company, abbreviated as “OPC,” is a distinctive form of private limited company established under the Companies Act, 2013. Unlike traditional private limited companies requiring a minimum of two directors and members, OPCs can be registered with just one individual serving as both director and shareholder. To signify its single ownership, OPCs typically append “OPC Private Limited” or “OPC Pvt Ltd” to their company name.

Previously, forming a private limited company necessitated at least two directors and members, rendering it inaccessible to single individuals. However, the introduction of OPC under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013 revolutionized this aspect, enabling single individuals to establish private limited companies.

Benefits of One Person Company Registration

Limited Liability: OPC provides limited liability protection, safeguarding the director’s personal assets from being seized in case of financial issues.
Credibility: Being a private limited company, OPC enjoys higher credibility compared to traditional proprietorship firms. It receives a Certificate of Incorporation, enhancing its credibility.
Continuous Existence: Unlike proprietorships, an OPC continues to exist even in the event of mishaps with the director, as it can be passed on to the nominee director.
Separate Legal Entity: OPC is a distinct legal entity, shielding business owners from personal liability. It can acquire assets and incur debts in its own name.
NRI Registration: Following the Union Budget 2021-22 amendment, NRIs are eligible to register OPCs, provided they have resided in India for a minimum of 120 days preceding the financial year.
