One Person Company Registration in Lucknow — Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OPC (One Person Company) in India?+
An OPC is a company with exactly one shareholder and one director (can be the same person). Introduced under the Companies Act 2013, it gives solo founders the benefits of limited liability without needing a co-founder or partner.
How much does OPC registration cost in India?+
MakeItLegit charges ₹999 for complete OPC registration including government fees, DSC, DIN, and MCA filing. The total is typically ₹3,000–₹8,000 with a traditional CA.
What is the nominee requirement for an OPC?+
Every OPC must designate a nominee — a person who will take over the company if the sole member dies or becomes incapacitated. The nominee must give written consent. They have no active role until needed.
Can an OPC raise funding?+
OPCs cannot issue shares to external investors. If you plan to raise VC or angel funding, you should register as a Private Limited Company. An OPC can be converted to a Pvt Ltd voluntarily.
Can a foreign national register an OPC in India?+
No. The sole member of an OPC must be a natural person who is an Indian citizen and resident in India (resident meaning present in India for at least 182 days in the preceding calendar year).
Is an OPC better than a sole proprietorship?+
Yes, for most purposes. An OPC gives you limited liability (your personal assets are protected), a permanent legal identity, and more credibility with clients and banks. A sole proprietorship offers none of these advantages.

Bank account, GST if applicable, first board meeting within 30 days, DIR-3 KYC each year, AOC-4 & MGT-7 filings after your first FY. Missing three consecutive years of these triggers automatic director disqualification under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act, 2013.
