At Shlok Tax Wala, we specialize in facilitating One Person Company (OPC) registrations, offering a straightforward and efficient process. Governed by the Companies Act 2013, an OPC requires only one person as a member and must be incorporated as a private limited company. With a minimum of one director and a maximum of 15, an OPC serves as a hybrid of sole proprietorship and company forms of business, benefiting from concessional or relaxed requirements under the Act.
In cases where the Articles of Association lack a director’s name, the member of the OPC is deemed as the director. Our services ensure a swift OPC registration process, completed within just 10 days, along with comprehensive compliance support. Feel free to reach out to our experts for further information on Partnership registration and other related queries.
Benefits of One-Person Company
At Shlok Tax Wala, we recognize the numerous benefits of One Person Company (OPC) structures:

#3 Enhanced Credibility: Mandated annual audits of its books enhance the OPC’s credibility.
#4 Exemption from Meetings: OPCs are exempt from holding Annual General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings, reducing administrative burdens.
#5 Simplified Reporting: Obligations such as the submission of cash flow statements are not required, streamlining reporting processes.
#6 Minimal Compliance: With fewer compliance requirements, OPCs offer simplicity in regulatory adherence.
#7 Ease of Initiation: Starting an OPC is straightforward, making it accessible to entrepreneurs.
