An Overview

Private to One Person Company

The Companies Act of 2013, which incorporates a process to transform one class of corporation into another, allows for the conversion of a PLC (Private Limited Company) into an OPC (One Person Company). Starting on April 1, 2014, Section 18 of the Act expressly permits the conversion of an already licenced private limited company.

The change of a PLC to an OPC has no bearing on the company’s liability or statutory commitments prior to conversion; all representations, duties, and obligations will be enforceable by statute, and the new OPC will be liable.

Benefits

Limits Director’s Liability

Businesses also tend to borrow money. For sole proprietorships, proprietors are directly responsible for all the debt. If the company is unable to repay the loan, the owner will be forced to sell his or her vehicle, home, or jewellery. Just the money spent to start the company would be lost in an OPC; all personal property would be secured.

Life indefinitely

If a founder operated as a sole proprietorship instead of an OPC, his or her company would cease to exist upon his or her death. Due to the fact that an OPC has its own legal identity, it will pass to the candidate director and therefore continue to exist.

Compliances are down.

Since an OPC may only have one director and one shareholder, annual filings are restricted to equity certificates and sworn statements.

How do I submit an application for conversion?

Form-INC-6 with the following statements is used to apply for the conversion of a private limited partnership into a one-person company.

  • A statement of the sort, accompanied by an affidavit signed by all directors, stating that all owners and creditors of the firm have consented to the company’s conversion into an OPC, and that the company’s paid-up capital is less than Rs. 50 lakhs and its turnover is less than Rs. 2 crores.
  • Affidavits from members attesting to the fact that the paid-up capital is less than Rs. 50 lakhs and the total revenue is less than Rs. two crores for the last three financial years.
