Compliance

Annual Compliances of
One Person Company (OPC)

Certainly! An OPC (One Person Company) is a type of business entity where only one person holds 100% ownership and control. This individual acts as both the shareholder and director of the company. OPCs provide the benefits of limited liability, allowing the sole owner to safeguard personal assets against business liabilities. OPC Registration involves fulfilling certain legal requirements, such as obtaining a Director Identification Number (DIN), Digital Signature Certificate (DSC), and registering the company with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Additionally, the OPC must adhere to statutory compliance, including annual filing of financial statements and maintaining proper records.

While OPCs offer advantages like ease of formation and limited liability, they also have limitations, such as restrictions on the number of employees and inability to convert to other types of companies easily. Overall, OPCs are ideal for small businesses and startups looking to operate with a single owner while enjoying the benefits of a corporate structure.
