Frequently Asked Questions
Can an OPC have more than one shareholder?
No. OPC can have only one member, but it must have one nominee.
Is audit mandatory for OPC?
OPCs generally require statutory audit under company law, even though ownership is held by one member.
Is OPC better than proprietorship?
OPC gives separate legal identity and limited liability, but it also has company-law compliance. The right choice depends on business risk, scale, and compliance comfort.
