Tax Filling India | Business Registration & Compliance Support
India’s only company structure built for solo entrepreneurs. Run your business with the credibility of a Private Limited Company and the freedom of a sole proprietor. TaxFillingIndia handles your entire OPC registration — CA/CS assisted, 100% online.
A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique business structure introduced under the Companies Act, 2013. It allows a single individual to run a fully incorporated company — enjoying the dual benefit of limited liability protection and complete ownership.
Unlike a sole proprietorship, an OPC is a separate legal entity. Your personal assets stay protected from business debts. You can enter contracts, own property, and sue or be sued — all in the company’s name.
It’s the ideal structure for freelancers, consultants, self-employed professionals, and small business owners who want a formal, credible corporate identity without bringing in partners.
Understand why an OPC is the smartest choice for solo business owners looking for legal protection.
OPC gives you the power of a company with the simplicity of solo ownership — the best of both worlds.
Not everyone qualifies to form an OPC. Check the key eligibility criteria before you begin.
OPC is purpose-built for individuals who want corporate standing without a partner.
Our CA/CS team handles everything end-to-end. You just provide the documents.
Keep these handy — our team will guide you through uploading every document securely.
Pro Tip: All directors must have a Class-II DSC. Your nominee also needs PAN and Aadhaar. Our CA team checklists your documents before filing to ensure zero rejections.
Still unsure if OPC is worth it over a simple sole proprietorship? This table settles it.

Everything you need to know about One Person Company registration in India.
A Sole Proprietorship has no separate legal identity — you and the business are the same. Your personal assets are at risk if the business incurs debts. An OPC is a fully incorporated company under the Companies Act, 2013 — a separate legal entity that means your personal assets are protected. Additionally, an OPC can own property, enter into contracts, and sue/be sued independently.
No. Only an Indian citizen who is a resident of India (having stayed for at least 182 days in the preceding calendar year) can incorporate an OPC. Foreign nationals and NRIs are not eligible. If you are an NRI looking to start a business in India, a Private Limited Company with FDI compliance may be a better option.
A nominee is a person named by the sole member who will take over the company in the event of the member’s death or incapacity. The nominee must be an Indian citizen and resident, and must provide written consent in Form INC-3. The nominee has no active role while the member is alive and healthy — they only step in under the mentioned circumstances.
If an OPC’s paid-up share capital exceeds ₹50 lakh or its annual turnover exceeds ₹2 Crore, it must mandatorily convert into a Private Limited or Public Limited Company within 6 months. Our CA team proactively monitors your compliance milestones and will advise you well in advance to ensure a smooth, timely conversion.
No. An OPC is exempt from holding Annual General Meetings (AGMs). However, it must file annual returns and financial statements with the MCA, maintain a minutes book signed by the director, and comply with other statutory filings. This makes OPC compliance significantly lighter than a Private Limited Company.
Yes. An OPC can have any number of employees, workers, and contractors. The “one person” refers only to the member (shareholder) and director, not to employees. You can build a full team under your OPC without any restrictions on headcount.
With complete documents, OPC registration typically completes in 7–10 working days. The process involves DSC procurement, DIN allotment, name reservation via RUN, and final incorporation through the SPICe+ form on the MCA portal. TaxFillingIndia initiates the process on the same day documents are received, ensuring the fastest possible turnaround.
