Consultation Fee, Guidance From Experts
A One Person Company (OPC), introduced under the Companies Act, 2013, allows a single eligible individual to establish a company with a separate legal identity. Unlike a private limited company or LLP, which generally requires at least two participants, an OPC can be incorporated with one member and a nominee.
This structure is suitable for individual entrepreneurs who want greater control over their business while benefiting from limited liability and a recognised corporate structure. Eligibility, incorporation and compliance requirements remain subject to the applicable company Act.

The cost of registering a One Person Company (OPC) in India is affordable and transparent, but it varies based on government fees, professional charges, and state-specific stamp duty. Understanding these components helps entrepreneurs plan their incorporation budget accurately.
Government fees for OPC registration are prescribed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and are generally nominal, especially since there is no minimum paid-up capital requirement. However, stamp duty charges apply on the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA). These stamp duty rates are governed by state laws, which means the amount varies depending on the state in which the registered office is located.
