- Document Checklist and Format


Step-1:
Documentation
Documentation plays a significant role in OPC Registration. The primary documents of promoters like PAN, ID, and address proof are to submitted along with utility bills like electricity bill, water bill, or telephone bill of the registered address along with a NOC from the owner of premises as proof of the registered address of the Company. The list of documents required is provided above for your reference. We shall request the necessary information for OPC Registration in the Questionnaire.
Step-2:
Selection of Name for OPC Registration
The name of every Company should be unique and must not violate the name of any other company or someone else trademark. For this purpose, we conduct a thorough search of the name as per section 4 of the companies act and read with rule 8. Please refer to our detailed discussion on name approval guidelines for company registration.
Step-3:
DSC for All Promoters of One Person Company
DSC is equivalent to the physical or paper signature under the information technology act. For registration of One Person Company, all the applications to ROC are filed in digital format signed by its proposed director. The filing process for OPC Registration starts with the issue of a digital signature for the shareholder and director of the Company.
Step-4:
Name Approval for OPC Registration
RUN is the name of an online application, which is to be used for making an application for seeking approval of the ROC for the proposed Name of the Company. It is a web-based application, where two names in order of preference can be filed with a note on the significance of the name and the business activities.
Step-5:
Spice Form Filing to ROC for OPC Incorporation
After name approval of the OPC, we need to file the formal application for incorporation of the Company in form SPICE to the ROC with appropriate documents as attachments. The documents to be attached with Spice Form are MOA, AOA of the Company, KYC documents of promoters, and proof of the registered address with NOC from the landlord. The DSC of the promoters is then used to sign the application, which is further attested by one practising Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary, Cost Accountant, or an Advocate practising at High Court. The government filing fee for Company Registration depends on the proposed capital of the Company.
Step-6:
Registration of The OPC Company with ROC
The final stage for the OPC registration is the Issue of Certificate of Incorporation for the One Person Company after the verification of the application for OPC Registration is filed in Spice Form. The issue of the registration certificate for OPC is the conclusive proof of the registration of the Company by ROC.
Step-7:
PAN & TAN Number for the OPC
Nowadays, the issue of Pan Number and TAN is done automatically at the time of incorporation of the Company. There is no need to make any separate application. The PAN Number and TAN comes printed on the certificate of incorporation itself, and after the registration of the Company, E-Pan and Tan letter is sent via email.

Comparison among OPC /Sole Proprietorship Firm / Partnership
OPC Company
One Person Company is owned by a single owner, akin to proprietorship. However, the OPC is registered in and regulated by the Companies Act, 2013. The details of the companies are verifiable at the MCA Portal.
Proprietorship
There is no specific law of parliament or state that regulates the proprietorship business that is why it is so simple to start and operate. It also means that there is no way the details of the composition of the proprietorship business can be known. | Learn more on Proprietorship
Partnership Firm
The partnership firms are a traditional form of business and can start by way of an agreement between the parties. The Partnership Act of 1932 regulates the affairs if a partnership firm. The details of the partnership firm are not verifiable easily. | Learn more on Partnership Firm
OPC Company
For a company including the OPC, before 2015 amendment of the companies act, there was a requirement of minimum paid-up capital of Rs 1 Lakh. However, post amendment of the law there is no prescribed minimum capital as such. It means you may incorporate an OPC with any capital as you desire. Learn more on OPC
Proprietorship
You can start the proprietorship firm with any amount of capital. It means there is no minimum or maximum capital prescribed as such for a proprietorship firm.
Partnership Firm
Just like the proprietorship or partnership, there is no minimum paid-up capital that has been prescribed in the partnership act
OPC Company
The OPC can be owned by only one Individual, also known as the sole shareholder. However, the sole owner of the OPC has to nominate another person to become his or her nominee. The OPC can have up to 15 directors. Click here to understand the difference between a shareholder and a director . To learn more about OPC Registration
Proprietorship
A single Individual can start a Sole Proprietorship Firm, where he alone will invest all the capital and shall be entitled to all the profits of the firm.
Partnership Firm
In a partnership firm, a minimum of two partners is prescribed with a cap of a maximum of 20 partners.
OPC Company
The OPC is recognised as a separate legal entity in the eyes of the law, and the business is transferred to the nominee after the demise of the proprietor.
Proprietorship
The proprietorship business lacks the benefit of perpetual succession. With the demise of the proprietor, the firm also ends its life. The proprietor and the proprietorship are the one and same.
Partnership Firm
Just like proprietorship, the partnership business is not regarded as a separate business. In fact, with the death or removal of a partner, a new firm comes in existence in place of the old one.
OPC Company
In an OPC the single shareholder is not liable for all the liabilities or debts of the company, and instead, he/she is responsible for paying only the sum which may be outstanding from her subscribed share capital.
Proprietorship
The proprietor is personally liable for all the liabilities and debts of the business. To pay off these liabilities, the personal properties of the proprietor can also be attached.
Partnership Firm
The liabilities of the partnership firm is the joint or severe liability of each and every partner of the firm. Akin to the proprietorship, the personal assets of the partners can be sold off to pay the debts of the firm.
