◈What is a One Person Company?
A One Person Company (OPC) is a private limited company with exactly one shareholder. Introduced by the Companies Act 2013, it solved a real problem: sole proprietors who wanted limited-liability protection without taking on a co-founder. The single shareholder must be an Indian citizen and resident, and must nominate a successor who would step in if the shareholder became incapacitated.

When paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakh or turnover exceeds ₹2 crore, the OPC must convert to a Private Limited or Public Limited Company within 6 months.
