Who needs this

Solo founders, consultants and freelancers who want limited liability and a company structure without a second shareholder. The member must be a natural person and an Indian citizen; NRIs are allowed. One person can form only one OPC, and a nominee must be named.

  • Nominee: PAN, Aadhaar and signed consent
  • Registered office: electricity bill or property tax receipt under 2 months old, plus NOC from the owner or rent agreement

How it works

Share documents and choose names

We obtain the DSC, reserve the name and draft MOA, AOA and nominee consent

SPICe+ is filed; MCA issues the Certificate of Incorporation with PAN and TAN

Timeline

7 to 10 working days. Government processing times are outside our control; we track and follow up on every application.

If you skip it

Penalty exposure: Not applicable at incorporation, but the first deadlines start immediately. INC-20A is due within 180 days; missing it can attract Rs 50,000 on the company and Rs 1,000 per day on the director, and the company can be struck off.

What this service creates next

Completing this is the start of a recurring set of obligations. Under an AdvisoNet plan these are tracked in your Compliance Passport and handled before they fall due.

  • INC-20A commencement of business filing
  • First auditor appointment within 30 days
  • Annual ROC filings (AOC-4 and MGT-7A) and DIR-3 KYC
  • Income tax return and tax audit if applicable

Frequently asked questions

Can an OPC add shareholders later?

Yes. An OPC can convert into a Private Limited Company at any time by adding members and directors. Since 2021 there is no turnover or capital limit forcing or blocking conversion.

Who can be the nominee?

Any Indian citizen who is a natural person, including an NRI. The nominee takes over as member only if the original member dies or becomes incapable of contracting.

Can an OPC raise investment?

Not equity from outside investors while it remains an OPC. Founders planning to raise funds usually start as, or convert to, a Private Limited Company.
