Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible to form an OPC?

Only a natural person who is an Indian citizen and resident in India (≥120 days in the previous year) can incorporate an OPC. A person can be the member of only one OPC.

Why is a nominee mandatory?

The nominee takes over the OPC in case of the sole member's death or incapacity — ensuring perpetual succession of the company.

When must an OPC convert to Pvt Ltd?

Mandatory conversion if paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakh or average turnover exceeds ₹2 crore for 3 consecutive years.

What annual compliances does an OPC require?

Form AOC-4, MGT-7A, board meetings (1 per half-year), director KYC and income tax filing.

OPC vs Proprietorship — which is better?

Proprietorship is cheaper and simpler but offers no liability protection. OPC is a corporate entity with limited liability — safer for ventures with debt, contracts or employees.
