FAQs Got Question? here are the answers.

What is the minimum capital required to start a One Person Company?

There is no minimum capital requirement for OPC incorporation. However, the authorized capital mentioned in MOA should reflect business needs. Most OPCs start with ₹1 lakh authorized capital which can be increased later as business grows.

Who can be appointed as nominee in a One Person Company?

Any Indian resident who is not disqualified under Companies Act can be nominee. The nominee should give written consent and cannot be nominee in more than one OPC at the same time. Nominee becomes member if sole member dies or becomes incapable.

When does OPC mandatorily convert to Private Limited Company?

OPC must convert to Private Limited Company if paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakhs or annual turnover crosses ₹2 crores in any financial year. Conversion must be completed within 6 months of crossing these thresholds.

Can a foreign national incorporate One Person Company in India?

No, only Indian citizens and residents can incorporate OPC in India. Foreign nationals or NRIs cannot be directors or members in One Person Company. This restriction is specific to OPC structure under Companies Act.

Is annual audit mandatory for One Person Company?

Yes, statutory audit by a Chartered Accountant is mandatory for all OPCs regardless of turnover. This is different from private limited companies which have turnover-based audit exemptions. Annual audit ensures proper accounting and compliance.

Can One Person Company have employees?

Yes, OPC can hire employees and expand operations. Employment involves compliance with labour laws, PF, ESIC registrations and other statutory requirements. The single member remains the sole owner despite having employees.

What happens if nominee member refuses to take over the company?

If nominee refuses or is unable to take over, the company faces legal complications. It's advisable to have nominee's written commitment and update nominee details if circumstances change. Legal succession planning becomes critical for business continuity.

Can OPC issue different classes of shares like equity and preference?

OPC can issue different classes of shares but all shares must be held by single member only. The flexibility in share structure helps in financial planning and potential conversion to private limited company for investor funding.

Is GST registration separate process for One Person Company?

Yes, GST registration is separate and follows same rules as other companies. OPC must register for GST if turnover exceeds threshold limits or conducts inter-state business. GST compliance is independent of corporate structure.

Can One Person Company participate in government tenders?

Yes, OPC being a corporate entity can participate in government tenders and schemes. However, some tenders may have specific eligibility criteria regarding turnover, experience or technical qualifications that need to be met separately.
