Overview of Convert Private Limited Company to an OPC

A private limited company can convert itself into a one-person company (OPC) if it has a paid-up capital of less than Rs. 50 lakh and an annual turnover of less than Rs.2 crore. The reason for converting the private limited company into an OPC may be certain private, commercial or managerial.

One Person Company is a business entity run by a sole owner with the benefit of limited liability as that of Private Limited Company. In addition to this, One Person Company is a separate legal entity from its members, offering protection to its shareholders and can be formed by only one director. Following points should be kept in mind while converting a Private limited company into OPC:

• Rule 7 of Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014 should be followed.
• No objection certificate from existing members & Creditors.
• The special resolution passed by shareholders.

Advantages of Convert Private Limited Company to an OPC

Status of Private Company As per S. 3 of the Companies Act, 2013, OPC is given the status of Private Companies.
Various Exemptions An OPC enjoys various statutory exemptions from holding annual or extraordinary general meetings; signature on annual returns can be done by Director himself, restriction on voting rights, demand for the poll, notice for the meeting, Signature on financial statements, etc.
Limited Liability The liability of the shareholder is limited and personal assets are safe. The liability of the shareholder will only be limited to the unpaid subscription money in his name. OPC is a separate entity and there will be a true distinction between the promoter and the company.
Single Owner There is only one owner who can act both as a shareholder as well as the director.
Complete Control This leads to fast decision making and execution. Yet he/she can appoint as many as 15 directors in the OPC for administrative functions, without giving any share to them.
Legal Status & Social Recognition One Person Company is a Private Limited Structure in the eyes of law, which gives suppliers and customers a sense of confidence in business.
Separate Legal Entity A company is a legal entity and a juristic person established under the Act. Therefore a company form of organization has a wide legal capacity and can own property and also incur debts. The members (Shareholders/Directors) of a company have no liability to the creditors of a company for such debts.
Easy Compliances OPC is one of the easiest forms of corporate entities to manage. Very few ROC filing is to be filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). No need to conduct the Annual General Meeting (AGM), so lesser compliance cost.
Perpetual Succession A company has ‘perpetual succession’, that is continued or uninterrupted existence until it is legally dissolved. A company, being a separate legal person, is unaffected by the death or other departure of any member but continues to be in existence irrespective of the changes in membership.
Borrowing Capacity A company enjoys better avenues for borrowing of funds. It can issue debentures, secured as well as unsecured and can also accept deposits from the public, etc. Even banking and financial institutions prefer to render large financial assistance to a company rather than partnership firms or proprietary concerns.
Easy Transferability Shares of a company limited by shares are transferable by a shareholder to any other person. Filing and signing a share transfer form and handing over the buyer of the shares along with a share certificate can easily transfer shares.
Own Property A company being a juristic person, can acquire, own, enjoy and alienate, property in its name. No shareholder can make any claim upon the property of the company so long as the company is a going concern.

I have recently registered a Private Limited firm and was looking for a CA to take care of the filings, Startup India Certificate, and other formalities. I have received emails from legal Suvidha and a few others. I tried talking to them all. But, Mr. Mayank from Legal Suvidha was very impressive and was patient enough, prompt to answer all the queries. He has a very professional team and after the initial formalities, I started interacting with the team. It's not even 2 weeks but I really feel overwhelmed by their service and professionalism. I received my startup India certificate yesterday and my filings have been done promptly. The team at legal suvidha Ms. Nidhi, Ms. Priyanka, Ms. Koshika, and Ms. Saloni all show the same professionalism and are readily available to take care of the official filings and stuff. Overall a great experience till now and looking forward to a great journey!
