“They explained the 2021 MCA amendment clearly — no more ₹2 Cr ceiling, and I could incorporate as an NRI. Got my COI in 6 days.”
Eligibility check
Is OPC actually the right fit for your business?
Since the 2021 MCA amendment, OPC has become a serious long-term option for solo founders — no turnover cap, no capital cap, and NRIs are now eligible. Here’s who it actually fits.
Great fit if…
- You’re an Indian citizen — resident or NRI (120+ days in the preceding FY).
- You want limited liability but are fine being the sole owner.
- You want lighter compliance than a Pvt Ltd (no AGM, relaxed filings).
- You plan to scale without converting — the ₹2 Cr / ₹50 L ceiling is gone since 2021.
- You have one person you trust to name as nominee.
Skip OPC and pick Pvt Ltd if…
- You plan to raise equity funding from VCs or angels (OPC can’t issue new shares to outsiders).
- You want to issue ESOPs to early employees.
- You want a co-founder to hold equity from day one — OPC is a one-member structure.
- You’re a foreign national (non-Indian passport) — OPC is for Indian citizens only.
- You want to carry on NBFC / Section 8 or similar restricted activities.
What changed in 2021?
The Companies (Incorporation) Second Amendment Rules, 2021 removed the ₹2 Cr turnover and ₹50 L paid-up capital ceilings, opened OPC to NRIs, and reduced the residency threshold from 182 to 120 days. Voluntary conversion to Pvt Ltd is now possible at any time (the 2-year lock-in is also gone). Our consultants will walk you through what applies to your case.
