Statutory hooks that bite here — Kodambakkam businesses operate where where film industry businesses dominate the local compliance profile.
Section 2(62) defines a One Person Company (OPC) as a company that has only one person as its member. This single-member structure is what legally distinguishes an OPC from a private limited company, which needs a minimum of two members, and from a proprietorship, which is not a separate legal entity. The sole member enjoys limited liability while the company holds a distinct corporate personality, perpetual succession, and the capacity to own property and contract in its own name.
View sourceSection 3(1)(c) permits a company to be formed for any lawful purpose by one person where the company to be formed is a One Person Company, which is classified as a private company. Under the proviso to Section 3(1), the memorandum of an OPC must state the name of the person (the nominee) who becomes the member on the subscriber's death or incapacity to contract, ensuring perpetual succession despite there being a single member.
View sourceSection 173(5) relaxes board-meeting norms for an OPC, along with small and dormant companies: it must hold at least one board meeting in each half of a calendar year, with a gap of not less than ninety days between the two meetings. Where an OPC has only one director, Section 173(5) does not apply and board decisions are simply recorded in the minutes book and signed and dated by the sole director, keeping governance light for single-person businesses.
View sourceRule 4 requires the sole member to nominate another natural person who is an Indian citizen and who will become the member of the OPC on the subscriber's death or incapacity. The nominee's prior written consent is obtained in Form INC-3 and filed with the Registrar at incorporation. The member may change the nominee at any time, and a nominee may withdraw consent, in which case the member must nominate a replacement within 15 days and the company must intimate the Registrar in Form INC-4.
View sourceRule 6, as amended by the Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules 2021, allows an OPC to convert voluntarily into a private or public company at any time by increasing its members and directors and filing Form INC-6, and it removed the earlier two-year waiting period. Critically, the mandatory conversion thresholds, namely paid-up capital exceeding two crore rupees or average annual turnover exceeding twenty crore rupees, were withdrawn, so an OPC can now grow in size without being forced to convert.
View sourceSection 122 exempts an OPC from the provisions relating to general meetings, namely Sections 98 and 100 to 111, so an OPC is not required to hold an Annual General Meeting. Where any business requires the assent of the member, it is sufficient that the resolution is communicated by the member, entered in the minutes book, and signed and dated by the member; that date is deemed to be the date of the meeting for the purpose of statutory compliance and annual filing.

The nominee's written consent in Form INC-3 along with PAN, Aadhaar and full address is drafted and notarised correctly under Rule 4 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 — eliminating the most common Registrar query at SPICe+ scrutiny.

“Incorporated my OPC through FilingPro in 9 working days — SPICe+ Part B was clean on first submission, INC-3 nominee consent was drafted properly with my brother as nominee and the Certificate of Incorporation along with PAN and TAN arrived together. Bank account opened the next week.”

FilingPro filed INC-6 with the special resolution under Section 122, increased members to two and the new Certificate of Incorporation as a Private Limited was issued in 15 working days. Cap table and term sheet review was also included.”
“FilingPro set up my OPC's full statutory register pack — MBP-1, MGT-1, SH-2, SH-3 and MA-1 — along with the first board meeting minutes and Section 173(5) half-yearly calendar. AOC-4 and MGT-7A filing dates were also calendared. Genuinely thorough post-incorporation handover.”
