What Is a One Person Company?
An OPC is a company structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013 that lets a single individual run a fully incorporated company — combining sole ownership with the limited liability of a corporate structure.
Single Member
Owned and run by one individual, who is also usually its sole director.
Limited Liability
The member's liability is limited to the shares they hold, unlike a proprietorship.
Separate Legal Entity
The company can own assets and enter contracts in its own name.
Mandatory Nominee
A nominee is named at incorporation to step in if the sole member is unable to continue.
No Minimum Capital
There is no mandatory minimum paid-up capital to incorporate.
Distinct Company Name
Must be approved by the RoC and carry the suffix "(OPC) Private Limited".
Requirements to Register
Basic conditions that must be met before incorporating an OPC.
Resident Indian Citizen as Member
One Nominee Appointed
Minimum 1 Director
No Minor as Member or Nominee
Registered Office Address
DIN & DSC for Director
Documents Needed for OPC Registration
Passport-size Photo
Recent photograph of the sole member and nominee.
PAN Card
PAN of the member, director and nominee.
Identity Proof
Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Driving Licence or Passport.
Address Proof
Bank statement or mobile/telephone bill not older than 2 months.
Registered Office Proof
Sale deed if owned, or rent agreement and NOC if rented.
Latest Electricity Bill
Recent utility bill of the registered office premises.
Advantages of a One Person Company
Limited Liability
The sole member's personal assets stay protected beyond what they've invested in shares.
Continuity, Even If the Owner Can't Continue
The named nominee steps in to run the company, so operations don't come to a halt.
Stronger Credibility
A registered company structure builds more trust than a proprietorship with vendors and lenders.
Complete Control
As the only member, you retain full decision-making control over the business.
Simple to Transfer or Exit
Ownership can be transferred by handing over shares, simpler than winding up a proprietorship.
Easier Access to Credit
Banks and NBFCs are generally more comfortable lending to a registered company.
