Quick Answer

Is an OPC required to hold an Annual General Meeting in Olympia Tech Park, Chennai?

No. Under the proviso to Section 96(1) of the Companies Act 2013, the provisions relating to AGM do not apply to a One Person Company. The annual financial statements still require adoption — this is achieved through Section 122 by a resolution communicated by the sole member to the company and entered in the minutes book signed and dated by the member, which is deemed to be the resolution passed at a meeting.

Applicable Laws & Rules

SectionSection 2(62) of the Companies Act 2013 — defines a One Person Company as a company having only one person as a member. Read with Section 3(1)(c) which classifies an OPC as a private company by default and Section 152(7) which prescribes minimum one director — extendable up to fifteen.

RuleRules 3 and 4 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 — Rule 3 prescribes eligibility (only a natural person who is an Indian citizen, residency reduced from 182 to 120 days post Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules 2021); Rule 4 mandates Form INC-3 nominee consent at incorporation and Form INC-4 for any subsequent change.

AmendmentCompanies (Amendment) Act 2021 read with Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules 2021 (effective 01-April-2021) — omitted the mandatory conversion thresholds of paid-up capital exceeding ₹50 lakh or turnover exceeding ₹2 crore; permitted NRIs to incorporate OPCs and reduced the residency test to 120 days.

Relevant Court Rulings

Dr. J.J. Irani Committee Report (2005)

Recommendation of the Dr. J.J. Irani Expert Committee on Company Law (May 2005) — laid the foundation for introducing the OPC structure in India to encourage corporatisation of micro businesses and grant separate legal personality and limited liability to single entrepreneurs without forcing the dummy-shareholder route used under the Companies Act 1956.

MCA General Circular (Line of Authority)

Line of authority on Section 122 deemed resolutions for OPCs — minutes signed and dated by the sole member are treated as resolutions passed at a general meeting for all statutory purposes including AOC-4 and MGT-7A filings; the Registrar accepts the date of entry as the deemed AGM date for computing 180-day and 60-day filing windows.

Why Olympia Tech Park Clients Choose FilingPro

Expert OPC in Olympia Tech Park — qualified professionals, 15+ years experience, zero-penalty track record.

INC-3 Nominee Consent Drafted Tight

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.

DIN Allotted Within SPICe+

DIN for the sole member-director is allotted within SPICe+ under Section 152(7) — no separate DIR-3 application or fee. Olympia Tech Park clients receive a clean DIN with the Certificate of Incorporation.

Class 3 DSC Procured Same Day

Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate for the sole member-director procured from eMudhra, Sify, NSDL or Capricorn — Aadhaar e-KYC route used wherever possible for same-day issue.

Residency & NRI Eligibility Confirmed

Residency of 120 days under Rule 3(1) confirmed against passport stamps for Olympia Tech Park clients. NRIs (Indian citizens resident outside India) eligibility under the Companies (Amendment) Act 2021 confirmed from 01-April-2021 onwards.

Mandatory Conversion Trap Avoided

Many consultants still advise clients about the ₹50 lakh / ₹2 crore mandatory conversion thresholds — these are NO LONGER applicable post 01-April-2021. Olympia Tech Park OPC clients are correctly advised on voluntary-only conversion under Section 18.

AGILE-PRO-S Bundled Filings

AGILE-PRO-S linked form filed alongside SPICe+ — PAN, TAN, GSTIN (where Section 22/24 triggered), EPFO, ESIC and Profession Tax registrations along with bank account opening coordination through partner banks.

Key Benefits

What Olympia Tech Park Clients Get

Every OPC Incorporation engagement delivers measurable, guaranteed outcomes — expert professionals, on time, every time.

Limited Liability Under Section 2(62)

The sole member's exposure is limited to unpaid subscription on shares under Section 2(62). Personal assets of the Olympia Tech Park member-director are ring-fenced from business creditors — the foundational advantage of OPC over sole proprietorship.

Separate Legal Personality Under Section 9

Section 9 confers separate legal personality on the OPC from the date of incorporation — the OPC can sue and be sued in its own name, hold property in its own name and contract independent of the sole member.

Perpetual Succession via INC-3 Nominee

Through the INC-3 nominee mechanism under Rule 4, the OPC continues uninterrupted on the sole member's death or incapacity — the nominee automatically becomes the new member, eliminating the dissolution risk inherent to a sole proprietorship.

No AGM Requirement Section 96(1)

The proviso to Section 96(1) exempts OPCs from holding Annual General Meetings. Olympia Tech Park member-directors transact statutory business through Section 122 deemed resolutions — saving the cost, formality and timing constraints of physical AGMs.

Half-Yearly Board Meetings Section 173(5)

Section 173(5) requires only one board meeting in each half of a calendar year (90-day minimum gap) for OPCs and small companies — versus the four-meeting minimum for regular private limited companies under Section 173(1).

Cash Flow Statement Exempt Section 2(40)

Under the proviso to Section 2(40), OPCs need not prepare a cash flow statement. Financial statements comprise only the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss and Notes — substantially reducing accounting and audit overhead.

Statutory Basis

Operative provisions cited on this page

Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.

Companies Act 2013, Section 2(62)Anchor

Definition of a One Person Company

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 source

Companies Act 2013, Section 3(1)(c)Anchor

Formation of an OPC by one person

Section 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 source

Rule 4, Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014

Nomination of a nominee (Form INC-3)

Rule 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 source

Companies Act 2013, Sections 137 and 92 (Forms AOC-4 and MGT-7A)

Annual filing obligations of an OPC

An OPC must file its financial statements in Form AOC-4 under Section 137 within 180 days from the close of the financial year, and its annual return in the abridged Form MGT-7A under Section 92, which was introduced for OPCs and small companies from FY 2020-21. The annual return of an OPC does not require signing by a company secretary and may be signed by the director. Delayed filing attracts an additional fee of one hundred rupees per day per form with no upper cap.

View source

Rule 6, Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014

Conversion of an OPC

Rule 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 source

Rule 3, Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014

Eligibility to incorporate an OPC

Rule 3 provides that only a natural person who is an Indian citizen may incorporate an OPC and act as its nominee. Following the Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules 2021, the earlier strict residency requirement was relaxed, the residency period was reduced to 120 days, and Non-Resident Indians were expressly permitted to form OPCs. A person may incorporate only one OPC and be the nominee of only one OPC, and a minor cannot be a member or nominee. Rule 3(6) also bars an OPC from carrying on non-banking financial investment activity.

By Industry

Industry-specific patterns in Olympia Tech Park

How the local trade mix shapes this — Across Olympia Tech Park, the cluster of it services, ites, software businesses that defines Olympia Tech Park's commercial fabric.

IT Services

Common issue: Freelance developers and solo IT founders in Chennai often start as proprietors and only consider an OPC once overseas clients demand a body corporate. Two problems then recur. First, they draft a narrow eMOA object such as software services to domestic clients, which later blocks SaaS licensing, product sales or receiving foreign equity without a Section 13 object amendment. Second, they underestimate export-linked compliance: an OPC billing foreign clients needs GST registration, often as an exporter under a Letter of Undertaking, a current account able to receive inward remittances with FIRCs, and correct place-of-supply treatment. Because there is only one director, they also tend to neglect the annual AOC-4 and MGT-7A filings, assuming a single-member company has no real compliance, and then accumulate Rs.100-per-day additional fees.

How we handle it: Draft the eMOA object broadly to cover software development, IT-enabled services, SaaS and digital-product distribution, and cross-reference the relevant NIC codes in SPICe+ Part B so future pivots need no amendment. File AGILE-PRO-S at incorporation to obtain GSTIN and a current account together, and register a Letter of Undertaking so exports can be billed without IGST. Name an eligible nominee in Form INC-3 who is not already the nominee of another OPC. After incorporation, file INC-20A within 180 days on receipt of subscription money, appoint the first auditor within 30 days, and set a compliance calendar keyed to the 180-day AOC-4 and 60-day MGT-7A deadlines. Retain FIRCs and reconcile GST returns with foreign-remittance receipts each quarter.

Professional Services

Common issue: Independent consultants in management, HR, marketing and technology often incorporate an OPC to present a corporate identity to enterprise clients who insist on contracting with a company rather than an individual. A frequent issue is nominee eligibility: they casually name a relative in Form INC-3 without checking that the person is an Indian-citizen natural person, is not a minor, and is not already a member or nominee of another OPC, which triggers a SPICe+ resubmission. Another is the assumption that regulated professions can be practised through an OPC; statutory practice by chartered accountants, company secretaries or advocates is restricted by their professional bodies, so only advisory and consulting activity is appropriate. Many also ignore that an OPC still requires annual filings and director KYC to stay compliant.

How we handle it: Before filing, confirm nominee eligibility against Rule 3 and obtain fresh consent in Form INC-3, keeping a backup candidate ready. Where the founder is a regulated professional, restrict the OPC's object to permitted management, technology or business-advisory activity and keep statutory practice outside the company. Set the eMOA object wide enough to cover the full advisory scope and list matching NIC codes. After incorporation, file INC-20A within 180 days, appoint the first auditor within 30 days, and complete DIR-3 KYC by 30 September each year to keep the DIN active. Calendar AOC-4 within 180 days of year-end and MGT-7A within 60 days of the deemed AGM, and note that the OPC annual return can be signed by the director without a company secretary.

D2C Retail

Common issue: Single-founder direct-to-consumer brands in skincare, apparel, packaged foods and home goods often incorporate an OPC to build a defensible brand and limited liability before scaling online sales. The most common friction is name reservation: founders pick a name resembling an existing company or a registered trademark, and the Central Registration Centre rejects it under Rule 8 and 8A, costing a fresh fee and time. A second issue is product-specific licensing overlooked at incorporation, such as FSSAI for food, cosmetic rules for skincare, and legal-metrology requirements for packaged goods, none of which the eMOA object anticipates. Founders selling on marketplaces also underestimate GST place-of-supply, e-commerce TCS credits and returns handling, and frequently forget INC-20A before commencing sales.

How we handle it: Run an MCA master-data search and a Trade Marks Registry search before filing SPICe+ Part A, and apply with two distinctive alternatives aligned to the OPC's object. Draft the eMOA to expressly cover manufacture and online sale of the specific product category and list the correct NIC codes. Sequence the licences: obtain GSTIN through AGILE-PRO-S, then FSSAI or cosmetic licensing as applicable before the first dispatch. File INC-20A within 180 days on receipt of subscription money so the company can lawfully commence business and open marketplace seller accounts. Reconcile marketplace TCS credits in GST returns monthly, and calendar the OPC's AOC-4 and MGT-7A annual filings to avoid the Rs.100-per-day additional fee.

Consulting

Common issue: Solo strategy, finance and operations consultants use an OPC to sign larger engagements and to separate personal assets from business liability. A recurring theme is the mistaken belief that an OPC must convert to a private limited company once it crosses two crore rupees of paid-up capital or twenty crore rupees of turnover, a threshold that the Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules 2021 abolished, leading some to convert prematurely and take on an unwanted second shareholder. The opposite error also occurs: founders who genuinely need outside equity or a co-founder try to bring them in without realising an OPC can have only one member and requires a formal conversion first. Compliance neglect is common too, with unfiled AOC-4 and MGT-7A and missed DIR-3 KYC.

How we handle it: Advise clearly that there is no longer any mandatory conversion, so a growing OPC can remain an OPC indefinitely. Convert only when there is a real reason, such as admitting an investor or co-founder, using Rule 6 and Form INC-6 with altered MOA and AOA and the required resolutions, on the founder's own timeline. Keep the eMOA object broad enough to cover the consulting scope so no amendment is needed as services expand. Maintain a compliance calendar covering INC-20A within 180 days, first-auditor appointment within 30 days, AOC-4 within 180 days of year-end, MGT-7A within 60 days of the deemed AGM, and DIR-3 KYC by 30 September to keep the DIN active and avoid director disqualification.

Media and Content

Common issue: Solo content creators, designers, video producers and studio founders in Chennai increasingly incorporate an OPC to invoice brands, agencies and platforms that will not pay individuals or that deduct TDS awkwardly against a personal PAN. A frequent issue is a too-narrow eMOA object, such as graphic design services, that later obstructs allied revenue like licensing, merchandising, ad-revenue sharing or training. Creators earning platform payouts and foreign ad revenue often mishandle GST on export of services and neglect FIRC documentation for inward remittances. Because the work is solo and irregular, annual filings slip: AOC-4 and MGT-7A go unfiled and accumulate Rs.100-per-day fees, and DIR-3 KYC lapses, deactivating the director's DIN and freezing all e-filings.

How we handle it: Draft the eMOA object to cover design, content production, digital media, licensing and training so the OPC can diversify revenue without a Section 13 amendment, and list the relevant NIC codes in SPICe+ Part B. Register GST through AGILE-PRO-S and, where services are exported to overseas platforms, file a Letter of Undertaking to bill without IGST and retain FIRCs for each remittance. File INC-20A within 180 days and appoint the first auditor within 30 days. Automate a compliance calendar for the 180-day AOC-4, 60-day MGT-7A and 30-September DIR-3 KYC deadlines. Keep a simple monthly bookkeeping routine so irregular, lumpy creator income is captured accurately for the annual accounts and GST returns.

Case Studies

Anonymised engagements we have handled

Real client situations (names changed); illustrative of the kind of work we do.

ConversionIT Services

Established OPC advised it no longer faces mandatory conversion, then converts voluntarily to raise equity

Issue: A profitable single-founder software OPC in {{area_name}} had crossed the old two-crore paid-up and twenty-crore turnover marks and believed it was legally compelled to convert into a private limited company. Separately, the founder had received a term sheet from an angel investor who required equity, which is impossible in an OPC because it can have only one member.

Approach: We clarified that the Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules 2021 had abolished the mandatory conversion thresholds, so there was no forced conversion. To admit the investor, however, we recommended a voluntary conversion into a private limited company under Rule 6 by increasing members and directors and filing Form INC-6, along with altered MOA and AOA and the necessary resolutions on the founder's own timeline.

Outcome: The founder avoided an unnecessary panic-driven conversion and instead converted deliberately to onboard the investor. The company completed the conversion and the funding round closed, with the founder retaining majority control and the OPC's compliance history carried forward into the private limited company.

Annual complianceConsulting

OPC hit with per-day additional fees for two years of late annual filing

Issue: A solo HR-consulting OPC had not filed AOC-4 or MGT-7A for two financial years because the founder assumed a single-member company carried minimal compliance. The unfiled forms were accruing an additional fee of Rs.100 per day each, and the director risked disqualification under Section 164(2) if the default reached three consecutive years.

Approach: We reconstructed the books, had the accounts audited, and computed the accumulated Rs.100-per-day additional fee for each pending AOC-4 and MGT-7A. We filed the overdue returns in the correct sequence before the third-year threshold that triggers director disqualification, and set up a recurring compliance calendar keyed to the 180-day AOC-4 and 60-day MGT-7A deadlines.

Outcome: Both years of AOC-4 and MGT-7A were regularised, stopping the daily fee from growing further and averting director disqualification. Ongoing filings are now made well within the statutory windows and the OPC's MCA master data shows an active, compliant status.

Structure choiceIT Services

Freelance developer converting a proprietorship to an OPC for client and limited-liability comfort

Issue: A solo full-stack developer in {{area_name}} operating as a proprietor was signing contracts with two overseas SaaS clients whose master service agreements required a body corporate with limited liability and a stable legal identity. As a proprietor he faced unlimited personal liability and could not show a corporate PAN or certificate of incorporation, which was blocking both deals, yet he had no co-founder to form a two-member private limited company.

Approach: We recommended a One Person Company under Section 3(1)(c) so he could retain full ownership while gaining limited liability and a corporate identity. We drafted the eMOA with a broad software-services object, filed SPICe+ with DSC and a fresh DIN for the sole director, named his spouse as nominee in Form INC-3 after confirming her eligibility under Rule 3, and used AGILE-PRO-S to obtain GSTIN and a current account in one filing. We then filed INC-20A on receipt of subscription money.

Outcome: The certificate of incorporation was issued within 9 working days and the GSTIN and bank account went live shortly after. Both overseas master service agreements were signed against the corporate entity, and the founder retained 100 per cent control with no dilution. We calendared the first-year AOC-4 and MGT-7A filings to avoid the Rs.100-per-day additional fee.

NomineeProfessional Services

Nominee ineligible because he was already the nominee of another OPC

Issue: An independent management consultant preparing to incorporate an OPC named his brother as nominee in Form INC-3. During pre-filing checks it emerged that the brother was already recorded as the nominee of another family member's OPC. Rule 3 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 bars a person from being the nominee of more than one OPC, so proceeding would have drawn a SPICe+ resubmission notice and delayed incorporation.

Approach: We paused the filing and reviewed alternative nominees against Rule 3, checking that the candidate was a natural person, an Indian citizen, not a minor, and not already a member or nominee of another OPC. The consultant's spouse qualified. We obtained fresh consent in Form INC-3, updated the nominee clause in the eMOA, and separately confirmed that the consultant himself was not a member or nominee of any other OPC.

Outcome: SPICe+ was filed clean at the first attempt with a compliant nominee, avoiding a resubmission notice from the Central Registration Centre. Incorporation completed within 8 working days, and we left the client a standing note to file Form INC-4 promptly should the nominee ever change.

Why these Olympia Tech Park engagements look the way they do: On the ground in Olympia Tech Park, the business activity radiating outward from Olympia Tech Park Tower and nearby commercial pockets; for Olympia Tech Park units balancing production cycles with monthly GST and quarterly TDS compliance.

Common Questions

OPC FAQ — Olympia Tech Park

Common questions from Olympia Tech Park clients. Call 9566-068-468 for specific queries.

Is an OPC required to hold an Annual General Meeting?

Is an OPC exempt from preparing a cash flow statement?

Yes. Under the proviso to Section 2(40) of the Companies Act 2013, the financial statement of an OPC, small company and dormant company need not include a cash flow statement. The financial statement therefore comprises only the balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and notes to accounts — reducing accounting and audit overhead substantially compared to a regular private limited company.

Do you offer OPC Incorporation in Olympia Tech Park?

Yes — we handle OPC Incorporation for individuals and businesses across Olympia Tech Park (PIN 600032) and nearby Kotturpuram. The work is done end-to-end by our own team, with documents collected online over WhatsApp or email and in-person meetings available at our Maduravoyal and Nerkundram offices. Call 9566-068-468 to begin.

Can a Private Limited be converted into an OPC?

Yes. A private limited company with paid-up capital not exceeding ₹50 lakh and average annual turnover not exceeding ₹2 crore in three preceding financial years may convert into an OPC under Rule 7 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 by passing a special resolution under Section 122, obtaining no-objection from creditors and existing members, and filing Form INC-6 — provided the converting company has only one shareholder remaining post-conversion.

What is the procedure for incorporating an OPC?

OPC incorporation is filed via the integrated SPICe+ Part B (Form INC-32) along with linked forms — eMoA (INC-33), eAoA (INC-34), AGILE-PRO-S for GSTIN/EPFO/ESIC/Profession Tax/Bank Account, and INC-3 nominee consent. The proposed name is reserved either through SPICe+ Part A or RUN. Class 3 DSC of the member-director and Class 3 DSC of the nominee are required. DIN is allotted within SPICe+ for the sole director under Section 152(7).

Which tax jurisdiction does Olympia Tech Park fall under?

Olympia Tech Park (PIN 600032) falls under the Saidapet Division, Chennai South commissionerate. Getting the jurisdiction right matters because registrations, filings and notices are routed through the correct office. We confirm and handle the right jurisdiction for every Olympia Tech Park engagement.

How are contracts between an OPC and its sole member regulated?

Section 193 of the Companies Act 2013 mandates that where an OPC limited by shares or guarantee enters into a contract with the sole member who is also the director, otherwise than in the ordinary course of business, the terms of the contract shall be in writing or contained in a memorandum, recorded in the minutes of the first board meeting after entering into the contract, and intimated to the Registrar in Form MGT-14 within 15 days of approval.

Are the paid-up capital and turnover thresholds for mandatory OPC conversion still applicable?

No. The earlier mandatory conversion thresholds — paid-up capital exceeding ₹50 lakh OR average annual turnover exceeding ₹2 crore over three preceding financial years — were omitted by the Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules 2021 with effect from 01-April-2021. Under the amended Rule 6, an OPC may now grow without compulsory conversion. Conversion to private or public limited remains available voluntarily under Section 18 read with the amended Rule 6 in Form INC-6.

Do you also serve areas near Olympia Tech Park?

Yes. Along with Olympia Tech Park, we serve Kotturpuram and the wider Chennai South belt for OPC Incorporation. Wherever you are in this part of Chennai, the process and our 9566-068-468 line stay the same.

What are the consequences of non-filing of MGT-7A and AOC-4?

Under Section 92(5) and Section 137(3), default in filing MGT-7A or AOC-4 attracts a per-day late fee of ₹100 with no upper cap, plus penalty under Section 92(5) of ₹50,000 on the company and ₹50,000 on each officer in default. Continuous non-filing for two financial years also classifies the OPC as inactive under Section 248(1)(c), exposing it to Registrar-initiated strike-off.

What is Form INC-4 and when is it filed?

Form INC-4 is filed under Rule 4(4) of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014 to intimate the Registrar of any change in the nominee — including withdrawal of consent by the existing nominee, change of nominee by the member, or cessation of nomination on death of the member followed by the nominee becoming the new member. It is filed within 30 days of the change with INC-3 of the new nominee where applicable.

Where is your nearest office to Olympia Tech Park?

Our main office is at Plot No. 6, Alapakkam Main Road (opposite KVB Bank), Maduravoyal – 600095, with a branch at No. 22 Reddy Street, Nerkundram – 600107. Both are an easy reach from Olympia Tech Park, and a third office at Nolambur is opening shortly. Most clients, though, never need to visit.

Is GST registration mandatory for an OPC?

GST registration is governed by Section 22 of the CGST Act 2017 — mandatory once aggregate turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services in Tamil Nadu, or where any Section 24 trigger applies (inter-state supply, e-commerce listing, RCM liability). Incorporation of an OPC does not by itself trigger GST registration — turnover and Section 24 triggers must be assessed independently.

How many directors and members can an OPC have?

Under Section 152(7) read with Section 149(1), an OPC must have a minimum of one director and may have up to fifteen directors (extendable beyond 15 by a special resolution). The number of members is fixed at one — the sole subscriber. The same individual may simultaneously be the sole member and the sole director, achieving complete ownership-management unity within a body corporate framework.

Can the same person be both member and sole director of an OPC?

Yes. The Companies Act 2013 permits the sole member to also be the sole director, achieving owner-manager unity with limited liability. In that case the deemed-resolution mechanism under Section 122(4) and the Section 173(5) proviso apply — board resolutions are entered and signed in the minutes book by the single director, and member resolutions are likewise communicated and recorded by the single member.

Can the nominee be changed after incorporation?

Yes. Under Rule 4(4) of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014, the member may change the nominee at any time by giving notice to the company in Form INC-3 and filing Form INC-4 with the Registrar within 30 days of such change. The new nominee's written consent is mandatory. Where the nominee withdraws consent under Rule 4(3), the member must nominate another person within 15 days of the notice of withdrawal and the company must intimate the Registrar in INC-4 within 30 days.
