OPC Registration.
A One Person Company lets a single Indian citizen run a business with limited liability and a separate legal identity. It is incorporated through SPICe+ like any private company, with one member, at least one director and a nominee who consents within the form. Since the 2021 rule changes, an OPC no longer has to convert once it crosses capital or turnover limits.
Typically 7–12 working days from complete documents and DSCs. CRC review and any resubmission remarks are the main variables.
A partner — a chartered accountant or company secretary — from the first call to sign-off.
Based on your situation, and fixed in writing before any work starts.

OPC Registration, step by step.
Typically 7–12 working days from complete documents and DSCs. CRC review and any resubmission remarks are the main variables.
- 1
Eligibility and name
We confirm that the member and nominee are natural persons and Indian citizens, then check the proposed name, which must end with '(OPC) Private Limited'.
- 2
DSCs and documents
The member-director and the nominee obtain digital signatures, and we collect identity, address and registered office proofs.
- 3
SPICe+ filing
We file SPICe+ with the e-MoA, e-AoA and AGILE-PRO-S. The nominee's consent, earlier a separate INC-3, is now a declaration signed within the form.
- 4
Incorporation issued
The Central Registration Centre issues the Certificate of Incorporation with CIN, PAN and TAN, along with EPFO and ESIC numbers.
- 5
Post-incorporation set-up
We appoint the first auditor, issue the share certificate and file the declaration of commencement of business (INC-20A).
What we need from you.
Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

- Recent address proof of the member and nominee
- Registered office proof and owner's no-objection letter
- Proposed name and description of the business

The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.
- Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
- When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
