What is the OPC?
As per the Companies Act, 2013 an One Person Company (OPC) is an unique entity where an individual can form a company. It combines the concept of a company with limited liability and succession, allowing a person to own and operate a company in their name.
Prior to the implementation of the Companies Act of 2013 only two people could form a company. The Companies Act of 2013 supports the formation of One Person Company (OPC) in India. It governs the registration and functioning of one person company in India. In comparison with a public company a private company should have at least two directors and two members however on the contrary, one person company registration doesn't need any group of people to be incorporated.
As per the Section 262 of Companies Act of 2013 and official registration of OPC in India is legal. One person company registration in India requires a single director and a single member representing the whole firm. This corporation type has very few compliance requirements in comparison with a private corporation.
