One Person Company Registration
In India, a One Person Company (OPC) is a type of business structure that allows a single individual to operate a corporate entity with limited liability. The concept of OPC was introduced by the Companies Act, 2013. Here are the steps involved in registering a One Person Company in India:
1. Director Identification Number (DIN):
- The first step is to obtain a Director Identification Number (DIN) for the proposed director. If the director already has a DIN, this step can be skipped.
2. Digital Signature Certificate (DSC):
- The director must obtain a Digital Signature Certificate. This is required for digitally signing the documents during the company registration process.
3. Name Reservation:
- Choose a suitable name for the One Person Company and check the availability of the name on the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) website. Once the name is decided, file an application for name reservation.
4. Drafting of Memorandum and Articles of Association:
- Draft the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) for the OPC. These documents define the constitution and rules governing the company.
5. Incorporation Application:
- Prepare the incorporation application, along with the necessary documents, and file it with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Documents include the MOA, AOA, and other required declarations.
6. Payment of Fees:
- Pay the prescribed fees for the incorporation process. The fee depends on the authorized capital of the company.
7. Certificate of Incorporation:
- Once the RoC is satisfied with the application, they will issue a Certificate of Incorporation. This document confirms the existence of the OPC.
8. PAN and TAN Application:
- After obtaining the Certificate of Incorporation, apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) for the OPC.
9. Bank Account:
- Open a bank account in the name of the One Person Company and provide the necessary documents, including the Certificate of Incorporation.
10. Statutory Compliances:
- Fulfill other statutory requirements, such as Goods and Services Tax (GST) registration if applicable, and comply with ongoing filing requirements.
