Every quote shows the professional fee, government charges and taxes as separate lines — you approve the full breakup in writing before paying anything.
Stamp duty, filing fees and department charges go to the government, not to us. They vary by state, capital and applicant count, so we show them separately for your case.
The free consultation comes first. You only pay after you have seen the exact scope, the exact breakup and the expected timeline — no surprises later.

Overview
Overview
This format has been introduced in India recently as an improvement over sole proprietorship, and refers to the type of company where number of directors may be one or more, but there can be only one shareholder. Simply, a company incorporated by a single person and take all the benefits of a limited liability is referred to as a one person company. There is no requirement of a second party as in the co-founder of the company.
This concept support entrepreneurs who on their own are capable of starting a venture by allowing them to create a single person economic entity. One of the biggest advantages of a One Person Company (OPC) is that there can be only one member in a OPC, while a minimum of two members are required for incorporating Private Company or a LLP. Similar to a Company, a OPC is a separate legal entity from its promoter, offering limited liability protection to its sole shareholder, while having continuity of business and being easy to incorporate.
The OPC format has been gaining huge popularity in India and is growing in leaps and bounds, attributing mainly to its ease of incorporation and no third-party intervention. It has also been contributing massively to our economic development, as it supports aspiring entrepreneurs who have the creativity and capability to start their own venture, thereby encouraging great potentials to jump on the start-up boat and sail it to ‘the land of happy times’.
Though an OPC format allows a lone entrepreneur to operate a corporate entity with limited liability protection, every OPC must nominate a nominee Director in the MOA and AOA of the company, who will become the owner of the OPC in case the sole Director is no longer able to run the company owing to death or disability.
An OPC must be converted to a Private or Public Limited Company within six months if it crosses anannual turnover (averaged over three years) of INR 2 crores, or has a paid-up capital of INR 50 Lakhs. Like all other companies, OPCs are also required to file their audited financial statements with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs at the end of each financial year.

Benefits
Advantages of OPC
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Single member incorporation and operation
The main advantage of the OPC is that it can be incorporated and managed by a single person with a vision to start and run a business, without any third party interference. Furthermore, it provides an advantage over Sole Proprietorship by limiting the liability of assets of its owner.
Perpetual succession
The company retains its legal status even after the death or incapacity of its sole member, but passing down the ownership to its nominee director which is mandatory by the Law.
Easy incorporation and Sustenance
One Person Company (OPC) needs to meet comparatively less compliances than a Private or Public Limited Company and is also relieved from procedural formalities such as Annual General Meetings General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings.
Limited liability
The member has no personal liability to the creditors of the company for its debts therefore their personal assets are safe.
Can act as Stockbroker or Sub-broker
Although an OPC cannot open its stocks for public, being a juristic person, it can invest in other companies’ stocks, and can also act as stockbroker or sub-broker.
Documents
Documents required for One Person Company Registration
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.
Proof for the sole member and the nominee
Verified against MCA requirements
Registered office proof
Verified against MCA requirements
What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
One Person Company Registration process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Check eligibility
An OPC can have only one member, who must be an Indian citizen and resident in India (staying in India for 182 days or more in the preceding calendar year). A nominee is mandatory at incorporation.
Get the DSC
The proposed director/member needs a Digital Signature Certificate to sign the online incorporation filings.
Reserve the company name (SPICe+ Part A)
We propose two preferred names to the MCA via SPICe+ Part A, with "OPC" in the name. Approval typically takes 1-2 working days.
File SPICe+ with nominee details
We file SPICe+ with the MCA, including the nominee's consent, PAN and TAN allotment, and AGILE-PRO-S for GST, EPFO, ESI and Shops & Establishment where needed.
Receive Certificate of Incorporation
The MCA issues the Certificate of Incorporation with CIN, PAN and TAN. The whole process typically takes 7-10 working days if documents are clean.
Watch the conversion thresholds
Under current rules, if your paid-up capital exceeds ₹2 crore or your turnover exceeds ₹20 crore, the OPC must convert into a private or public company. We flag this well before you cross it.
