A One Person Company (OPC) lets a single entrepreneur own a company with limited liability and a proper corporate identity. It is the ideal upgrade from a sole proprietorship when you want credibility with clients and protection for personal assets.
With Krishna TaxNova, OPC registration is fully online. Fill in your details, upload your documents or send them on WhatsApp, and our CA team completes the incorporation with the MCA.
What is One Person Company Registration?
An OPC is a private company with only one shareholder, registered under the Companies Act, 2013. The sole member appoints a nominee who takes over ownership if the member is unable to continue. The OPC enjoys separate legal status, its own PAN and the same contract making powers as any other company.
Who Should Apply for One Person Company Registration?
- Solo founders, consultants and freelancers who want a corporate structure
- Proprietors whose clients or vendors ask for a registered company
- Single owners who want limited liability without adding a co-founder
- Professionals building a personal brand into a scalable business

One Person Company Registration: Frequently Asked Questions
Who can register an OPC in India?
Only an Indian citizen who is a resident of India can incorporate an OPC. A person can hold only one OPC at a time and must name a nominee at incorporation.
Why does an OPC need a nominee?
The nominee steps in as the member if the owner passes away or becomes incapable. This keeps the company alive and its contracts valid. The nominee's written consent is filed with the MCA.
When should an OPC convert to a private limited company?
Conversion makes sense when you want to add a co-founder, issue shares to investors or expand ownership. The conversion is voluntary and we manage the complete process.
Does an OPC pay different tax than a proprietorship?
Yes. An OPC is taxed as a company at corporate rates, while a proprietorship is taxed at individual slab rates. We run the numbers for your income level before you decide.
