One Person Company (OPC) Registration Online

One Person Company (OPC) Registration in India

Quick Answer

A One Person Company (OPC) lets a single individual own and run a company with limited liability. The owner must be a natural person who is an Indian citizen (resident or NRI), and must name a nominee. An OPC is registered online through SPICe+ with the MCA, and there is no turnover or capital limit after the 2021 amendment.

What is One Person Company (OPC) Registration?

One Person Company is designed for solo entrepreneurs who want the benefits of a company without needing a second shareholder. It offers limited liability and a separate legal identity, while keeping control with a single owner. Since 2021, OPCs can be formed by NRIs and can convert into a private or public company at any time. TaxBucket handles nominee consent, MoA/AoA drafting and SPICe+ filing end to end.
