OPC Registration in Bangalore

BSJ & Associates - OPC Registration in Bangalore

One Person Company or OPC is introduced by the Companies Act 2013 to allow single ownership of a business. This act has replaced the previous norm that mandated private companies to appoint at least 2 Members and Directors, while public companies needed 7 Members and 3 Directors. OPC registration in India enables businesses to function with just 1 Member and 1 Director and has fewer compliances to follow. Only Indian residents as well as citizens are eligible to serve as a nominee and member of an OPC. Companies registered as OPC have their company names ending with “(OPC) Private Limited”.

Minimum Criteria for OPC Registration

You can opt for OPC registration in Bangalore only if you hold Indian citizenship, or if you have been residing in the country for at least 182 days of the last financial year. A minor cannot be a nominee or member of OPC.

Features of OPC

One Person Company registration allows you to form a business with 1 Member and acquire a share of the business. You can have a nominee who would share the capital along with sharing the company liabilities in crisis or your absence. But do remember that a person can only be the nominee of a single OPC.

One Person Company is restricted from obtaining financial investments from outside people; only the member can invest in a one person company.  You can change your company registration after two years of registering as Private Limited Company.
