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.

Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
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 sourceRule 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.
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 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 sourceAn 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 sourceWest Mambalam (PIN 600033) falls under the Saidapet Division of the Chennai South, the jurisdiction that handles statutory matters for businesses at this PIN.

OPC Incorporation in Chennai () is processed end-to-end by qualified Company Secretaries and Chartered Accountants at FilingPro under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act 2013 read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014. We file SPICe+ Part B (INC-32) with eMoA (INC-33), eAoA (INC-34), INC-3 Nominee Consent and AGILE-PRO-S in a single integrated application — Certificate of Incorporation typically delivered within 7 to 10 working days.

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.
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.
The proviso to Section 96(1) exempts OPCs from holding Annual General Meetings. Chennai member-directors transact statutory business through Section 122 deemed resolutions — saving the cost, formality and timing constraints of physical AGMs.
Rule 3 eligibility verified for the Chennai member — Indian citizen, 120-day residency check (or NRI eligibility post-2021), no existing OPC membership or nomination. Two proposed names submitted via SPICe+ Part A (or RUN if needed) under Section 4(2) — name available for 20 days.

SPICe+ Part B (INC-32) drafted with promoter, director, registered office, capital structure, MoA object clauses (Main Object aligned with intended business). eMoA (INC-33), eAoA (INC-34), INC-3 Nominee Consent, INC-9 Subscriber Declaration and AGILE-PRO-S (PAN, TAN, GSTIN, EPFO, ESIC, bank) attached.
Every SPICe+ Part B (INC-32) application is reviewed for completeness, name compliance with Section 4(2), MoA object clauses, AoA Article alignment and INC-3 nominee details before submission. Chennai clients have a near-zero RSUB rejection record.
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 for the sole member-director is allotted within SPICe+ under Section 152(7) — no separate DIR-3 application or fee. Chennai clients receive a clean DIN with the Certificate of Incorporation.

“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 explained the post-2021 amendment clearly — that the ₹50 lakh and ₹2 crore mandatory conversion thresholds are no longer applicable. I was about to incorporate as a Private Limited unnecessarily. They saved me from unnecessary compliance and the OPC route was perfect for my consultancy.”
“As an NRI working in Dubai with Indian citizenship I was told by another consultant that I cannot incorporate an OPC. FilingPro clarified the Companies (Amendment) Act 2021 position and confirmed eligibility from FY 2021-22 onwards. SPICe+ filed and Certificate received in 12 working days.”
“Switched my proprietorship to an OPC structure for liability protection on my growing e-commerce business. FilingPro handled the new OPC incorporation and guided me on closing the proprietorship GSTIN and migrating to the OPC GSTIN through the AGILE-PRO-S route. Smooth transition.”
“Required voluntary conversion of my OPC to Private Limited after raising angel investment. 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.”
