What is a One Person Company?
A One Person Company (OPC) is a company with a single member, introduced by the Companies Act, 2013. It gives a solo founder limited liability and a separate legal identity, with fewer compliances than a private limited company.
Only a natural person who is an Indian citizen — resident or non-resident — can form an OPC, and a nominee must be named to take over in case of death or incapacity. OPCs with a registered office in Assam fall under RoC Shillong.
