One person company shall have only one member, but there can be a maximum of 15 directors. One Person Company has features of both sole proprietorship as well as private limited, the member of the company has ownership like a sole proprietor, but the liabilities are limited as the members have in the private limited company.

Eligibility For One Person Company
Under Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder there are specific provision prescribed which are required for the registration of One Person Company:
MEMBER: As per Companies Act, 2013 only a natural and individual person can be a member of a One Person Company. An OPC cannot add more than one shareholder in the company during its tenure, but if it does so then first, it needs to convert itself from OPC to either the private limited company or public limited company.
DIRECTOR: In Companies Act, 2013 there is a limit prescribed for the appointment of a director in the company, and every company needs to follow such rules for the appointment of a director. In One Person Company, the companies act say that there must be at least one director in the company but which goes maximum to the 15, but this limit can be exceeded only with prior approval of the member of the company. An only individual person shall be the director of the company
NOMINEE: In each OPC the member needs to appoint his nominee. After the death of the member the nominee may either himself become the member of the OPC or can renounce his right to become a member to any other person. A member shall nominate only one individual and natural person as his nominee. The member can change his nominee any time during the tenure of his membership.
NAME: The name of the company is essential and initial part to start the business. An OPC must contain the business activity with the name of the company and “(OPC) PVT LTD / OPC Private Limited” at the end of the name of the company. As per new rule, a person can apply two names at a time for name approval, and CRC either allow anyone names among two given names or re-submit the name application form. If the form is re-submitted the applicant get another one chance for filing name application in which he can again apply for two different names and that names also either can be approved or get rejected by the CRC. The government denies the name application if it found that the applied name is similar to any registered company/LLP name or with any registered trademark/logo. Once the application gets rejected, the applicant needs to file a fresh application for the name approval along with prescribed fees again.
REGISTERED OFFICE: It is a place where a company can run its business and operate all the activities and conduct all the meetings as per mentioned in the companies act, 2013. At the time when the promoter register the company, the promoter needs to submit all the relevant documents for the registered office address to the registrar of the company. If the company doesn’t have any permanent office address, then the promoter has to arrange a place which shall be the registered office address of the company and the same shall be intimated to the registrar. It is an essential part of the company as the registrar shall send all the relevant documents and notices if any at the registered office address and the same office address should be mentioned in all the documents and letterheads of the company.
CAPITAL: Under Companies Act, 1956 there was no concept of OPC, so there were no rules regarding capital limits. However, in new Companies Act, 2013 a new idea of business introduced which is now known as One Person Company (OPC) without any capital limit which means in this act the minimum requirement of capital is no more required, and an OPC can start its business with any lesser amount. However, there is a maximum capital limit for the OPC which means if an OPC reached that limit then it shall have to mandatorily convert itself from OPC to either Private Limited Company or Public Limited Company. Moreover, the maximum limit is Rs. Fifty lakhs of paid-up share capital.
Concerns And Advantages Of One Person Company
It is a new concept introduced by the government to give the opportunity to the single person to register his business with the ministry. Before this concept, there was no such provision. The advantages for OPC registration are:
- The main advantage is that a single person can register his business with Registrar of Companies as a private limited company with the word (OPC).
- There is no ownership and profit sharing between the members as there is only one person as a member of the company
- The better decision taking ability as there is only one member and director, so there is no contradiction in making any decision
- It has all the features like a private limited company such as limited liability which means member and director are different from the company. Member and director will not be personally liable for any debt or losses incurred by the company
- Less compliance burden as compared to a private limited company and public limited company
- OPC may conduct at least one board meeting in each half of the calendar year, and the gap between two board meeting shall not be less than 90 day
- No need to maintain the quorum limit in the board meeting if the board of the company contains only one director (the minimum threshold of the director in the company is one)
- If there is one director in the company then no need to maintain the minute book because there is no need to take consent from any other person for the approval of any resolution
- No need to conduct the annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting of the company as there is only one member of the company
- As the company had the identity of a private limited company and registered with the ministry which helps in getting the financial help from the banks and financial institutions as it gives the reliability for their status
- As compared to the other companies the tax complications are less, and the saving is more in an OPC. As there are only sole director and the single member, so there is no profit distribution, the member can invest his profit and expand his business.
