What's included in your OPC registration
The total above is a complete, all-in setup cost for a One Person Company — not just the government fee. Here is exactly what goes into it.
Government filing fee
The MCA / RoC fee and stamp duty paid to the government on the SPICe+ incorporation forms. It scales with your authorised capital and varies by state stamp-duty rates.
Professional fee
TaxClue's end-to-end charge — name approval, MOA/AOA drafting, nominee consent, filing and follow-up until your Certificate of Incorporation is issued.
DSC & DIN
A Digital Signature Certificate (₹1,500) for the sole director to sign filings, plus a Director Identification Number (₹500) allotted through SPICe+.
Add-on registrations
Optional extras like GST, MSME/Udyam, Trademark, FSSAI, IEC and DPIIT — each with its own flat fee and timeline, added on top of the base incorporation.
OPC vs Private Limited vs Proprietorship
An OPC gives a solo founder limited liability and a separate legal entity — the credibility of a company without needing a second shareholder. Here is how it compares.
| Owners | 1 + nominee |
| Liability | Limited |
| Separate entity | Yes |
| ROC compliance | Moderate |
| Fundraising | Limited |
| Owners | 2–200 |
| Liability | Limited |
| Separate entity | Yes |
| ROC compliance | Higher |
| Fundraising | Investor-ready |
| Owners | 1 |
| Liability | Unlimited |
| Separate entity | No |
| ROC compliance | None |
| Fundraising | None |
OPC conversion rules you should know
An OPC is designed as a starting structure for a single founder. A few key restrictions and conversion triggers apply under the Companies Act.
Voluntary conversion
Since the 2021 amendment, an OPC can convert into a Private or Public Limited company at any time — the earlier 2-year lock-in was removed.
Mandatory conversion
Earlier, an OPC had to convert once turnover crossed ₹2 crore or paid-up capital ₹50 lakh. That threshold was abolished, so there is no forced conversion on size alone now.
Single-OPC rule
A person can be the member of only one OPC and be a nominee in only one. The member and nominee must both be resident Indian citizens.
Not for every activity
An OPC cannot carry out NBFC / financial-investment activities and cannot be a Section 8 (non-profit) company. Choose Pvt Ltd or Section 8 for those.
How the OPC timeline works
Registration follows four broad stages via the MCA SPICe+ form. Expected duration depends on how quickly documents and name approval come through.
