One Person Company (OPC) Registration
Incorporate a One Person Company — corporate identity and limited liability with a single shareholder.
Timeline: 7–14 working days, subject to MCA processing
Priced on consultation
Scope varies by case — an expert confirms the professional fee in writing before any work begins. Government fees are always at actuals.
Overview
A One Person Company gives a solo founder the two things a proprietorship cannot: a separate legal identity and limited liability. You remain the single shareholder and director, while a nominee you appoint steps in only in the event of your death or incapacity. Banks, customers and platforms treat an OPC like any other company, and it can later convert to a full private limited company when co-founders or investors arrive.
Incorporation runs through the same SPICe+ system as a private limited company: name reservation, DSC and DIN for the director, nominee consent in Form INC-3, MoA/AoA drafting, and PAN/TAN allotment. ClearTLC's partner CA/CS handles the sequence end to end while you track each stage in your dashboard.
Because nominee arrangements and capital structures vary, this service is quoted after a short consultation — request a callback and an expert will confirm the exact professional fee in writing before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions
Who can incorporate an OPC?
Only a natural person who is an Indian citizen can incorporate an OPC, and a person can be a member of only one OPC at a time. A nominee must also be named at incorporation.
What does the nominee actually do?
Nothing, during normal operations. The nominee becomes the member of the company only if the sole member dies or becomes incapable of contracting — it is a continuity mechanism, not a co-ownership.
How does OPC compliance differ from a private limited company?
An OPC is exempt from holding an AGM, needs only two board meetings a year, and files a simpler annual return (MGT-7A). Financial statements in AOC-4 are still required, as is the income-tax return.
Can an OPC convert to a private limited company later?
Yes — voluntarily at any time after incorporation by adding shareholders and directors and altering its charter documents. This is the standard route when a co-founder or investor joins.
Why is this priced on consultation?
Authorised capital and state stamp duty change the total meaningfully. We confirm a fixed written quote after a short call instead of advertising a number that shifts at filing.
GST & invoicing: Invoiced under SAC 998216 (other legal services) with 18% GST on the professional fee.
