The One Person Company (OPC) was recently enacted as a strong improvement over the sole proprietorship. According to Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013 OPC means Company which Has only One Person as a member. It gives a single promoter full control over the company while limiting his/her liability up to contributions to the business.
One of the biggest advantages of a One Person Company (OPC) is that there can be only one member in a OPC, while a minimum of two members are required for incorporating and maintaining a Private Limited Company or a Limited Liability Partnership (OPC).
Every One Person Company (OPC) must nominate a nominee Director in the MOA and AOA of the company - who will become the owner of the OPC in case the sole Director is disabled.
1. The person who is already member of nominee of one OPC cannot incorporate
more than one OPC or become nominee in more than one such Company.
2. No minor can become member or nominee of OPC.
3. OPC cannot get converted into Section 8 Company.
4. OPC cannot carry out NBFC activities.
