FAQs

Can an OPC have more than one shareholder?

No. An OPC has exactly one shareholder, usually also the sole director. You do need to name a nominee.

Does an OPC have to convert to a private limited company eventually?

Only if paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakh, or average turnover exceeds ₹2 crore over three consecutive years. Below that, it can stay an OPC indefinitely.

Can an NRI register an OPC?

Under current rules, yes, subject to residency conditions. Ask us to confirm the latest position for your situation.
