What is a One Person Company (OPC)?
A One Person Company (OPC) is introduced under the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 2(62)) to enable a single person to incorporate a company. Unlike a sole proprietorship, OPC provides limited liability, separate legal entity, and perpetual succession. Only one shareholder and one director are needed (can be the same person). A nominee must be appointed who takes over if the sole member dies or becomes incapacitated.
