A One Person Company (OPC) is a unique business structure that allows a single individual to operate as a corporate entity. However, like other companies, OPCs are required to meet certain legal and regulatory compliance requirements to maintain their legal standing. At WeIncept, we provide comprehensive OPC compliance services to help you fulfill all statutory obligations, ensuring your business remains compliant and operational.
What is OPC Compliance?
OPC compliance refers to the legal and regulatory obligations that a One Person Company must adhere to. These include annual filings with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), income tax filings, maintaining financial records, and complying with the Companies Act, 2013. OPCs must meet specific compliance requirements to avoid penalties and ensure smooth business operations.
