What is OPC Compliance?

All you need to know
A One Person Company (OPC) in India is a type of private limited company owned and managed by a single individual, as defined under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013. Since an OPC is legally treated as a private limited company, it must follow all the compliance requirements applicable to such companies, including annual filings and regulatory obligations. Meeting these compliance requirements is essential to keep the company legally active and avoid penalties. Ensuring timely compliance can be challenging, but professional services are available to assist OPCs in meeting their legal obligations efficiently.

An OPC needs to submit its financial statements and annual returns, following the financial year from April 1 to March 31. Compared to private and public limited companies, OPCs have fewer compliance requirements. The annual filing includes details like the company’s balance sheet, profit and loss statement, registered office, shareholding structure, and management information. This structure allows solo entrepreneurs to enjoy the benefits of a corporate entity while maintaining limited liability and a separate legal identity.
