One Person Company Registration in brief
Who it applies to, what it costs, how long it takes and which law governs it — before the details.
A One Person Company (OPC) is a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 with exactly one member. It is registered through the SPICe+ (INC-32) form on the MCA portal and mandatorily requires one nominee (filed in Form INC-3) who takes over on the member’s death or incapacity. Both the member and nominee must be natural persons who are Indian citizens and residents. An OPC gives a solo founder limited liability and a separate legal entity, and is usually incorporated in about 7–15 working days.

What Is One Person Company Registration?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
A One Person Company lets a solo founder run a full company with just one member — enjoying limited liability and a separate legal entity without needing a second shareholder.
An OPC is incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 with exactly one member and one mandatory nominee (Form INC-3). The member’s liability is limited, and the company’s identity is separate from its owner. Member and nominee must be natural persons who are Indian citizens and residents.
Administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) via the MCA21 portal, using the SPICe+ (INC-32) integrated incorporation form with the nominee’s consent in Form INC-3.
Incorporation is permanent — the company continues until wound up or struck off, and the nominee ensures continuity. Conversion to a private limited company is mandatory if paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakh or average annual turnover exceeds ₹2 crore.
Is This Service Right for You?
Ideal for
- Solo founders who want a company without a second shareholder
- Freelancers & consultants wanting a corporate identity for clients
- Sole proprietors seeking limited liability & a separate legal entity
- Resident Indian citizens running service or trading businesses
- Owners who need a current account & vendor contracts in a company name
- Single promoters who want perpetual succession through a nominee
You may need this if
- You are a single promoter with no second shareholder to add
- You want your personal assets protected from business liability
- You want a separate legal entity that can own property and sign contracts
- You want your business to continue via a nominee on death or incapacity
- You are an Indian citizen and resident (member and nominee both)
- You do not carry on non-banking financial investment (NBFC) activity

An OPC gives a single founder a corporate structure with limited liability. Here is why it matters.
Talk to a CA/CS Expert →Limited Liability
The member’s personal assets are protected — liability is limited to the capital invested in the OPC.
Single-Owner Control
Run a full company with just one member — no need to find or trust a second shareholder.
Separate Legal Entity
The OPC can own property, sign contracts and sue or be sued in its own name, distinct from the member.
Perpetual Succession
The nominee named in Form INC-3 takes over on the member’s death or incapacity, so the business continues.
Lighter Compliance
No AGM required and the annual return is filed in the simpler MGT-7A — a lower burden than a Pvt Ltd.
Business Credibility
A registered “(OPC) Private Limited” name builds trust with clients, banks and vendors.
Simple, Transparent Pricing

- An OPC cannot carry on NBFC / investment activity
