OPC Compliance: Ensuring Smooth Operations for Your One Person Company
A One Person Company (OPC) is a popular business structure that allows a single entrepreneur to operate with the benefits of limited liability and a separate legal entity. While OPCs enjoy certain relaxations compared to private limited companies, they must still adhere to specific compliance requirements under the Companies Act, 2013 to maintain their legal status and avoid penalties.
Understanding and fulfilling OPC compliance is crucial for uninterrupted business operations and statutory adherence.
Why is OPC Compliance Important?
Legal Mandate: Compliance with statutory requirements is compulsory for OPCs under the Companies Act.
Avoid Penalties: Non-compliance can attract fines, prosecution, and even lead to the company being struck off.
Build Business Credibility: Regular compliance enhances trust with clients, investors, and regulatory bodies.
Smooth Functioning: Proper compliance ensures accurate records, tax filings, and governance.
Key Compliance Requirements for OPC
Annual Filing of Financial Statements and Annual Return
OPCs must file Form AOC-4 (financial statements) and Form MGT-7 (annual return) annually with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
The annual return details shareholder and director information, while financial statements provide insight into the company's financial health.
Filing deadlines: Financial statements within 30 days of the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and annual returns within 60 days of AGM.
Holding Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Although OPCs are exempt from holding formal AGMs, they must prepare and approve financial statements within prescribed timelines.
Maintaining Statutory Registers and Records
OPCs must maintain essential records such as the register of members, directors, and minutes of meetings.
Appointment of a Nominee
OPC must have a nominee designated by the sole member, who will take over in case of the member's incapacity or death.
Compliance with Income Tax and GST
Filing income tax returns annually.
Registering and filing GST returns, if applicable.
Conversion Compliance
OPCs can convert into private or public companies once certain conditions are met, and must comply with the procedural requirements.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Financial penalties for delayed or non-filing of statutory forms.
Legal consequences for non-adherence to the Companies Act.
Difficulty in availing loans, opening bank accounts, or entering contracts.
Risk of being struck off by the ROC.
