Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve amassed a large number of frequently asked questions (FAQs)
No. An individual can register and operate only one OPC at a time under Indian law. If you already own another OPC or are a nominee in another OPC, you must resign or dissolve that before registering a new one.
Yes. Nominee appointment is mandatory under Section 3 of the Companies Act. In case of your death or incapacity, the nominee becomes the new member. Start Bharat helps you select, declare, and legally verify the nominee as per MCA guidelines.
No, OPCs cannot issue shares to investors or accept equity capital from external parties. If you’re planning to fundraise, you’ll need to convert your OPC into a Private Limited Company under the prescribed rules.
OPCs are taxed at 25% flat corporate tax under the new tax regime. You can claim deductions on salaries, expenses, professional services, and rent paid — leading to tax savings versus unregistered businesses.
No audit is required unless your annual turnover exceeds ₹2 crore or the paid-up capital crosses ₹50 lakh. Until then, you can operate with minimal compliance under MCA rules.
