Stamp Duty Not Included
Government stamp duty charges apply to registered documents and vary by state. These are paid directly to the government and are not part of our service fee. Your advocate will confirm the applicable amount for your state before any document is executed.
No. An OPC can only be incorporated by a natural person who is an Indian citizen and resident in India — defined as having stayed in India for at least 182 days in the immediately preceding calendar year.
The nominee named at the time of incorporation automatically takes over as the sole member and director of the OPC upon the death or incapacity of the original owner — ensuring business continuity.
OPCs cannot issue shares to outside investors without converting to a Private Limited Company. If you plan to raise VC funding, a Private Limited Company is a more appropriate structure from the outset.
Yes. Like all companies, OPCs must have their accounts audited by a Chartered Accountant and file annual financial statements and returns with the MCA — regardless of turnover or profit level.
