• Legal corporate entities like Company or LLP cannot incorporate an OPC
• A nominee must be appointed by the sole member during the incorporation
• Businesses involved in other financial activities cannot be incorporated as an OPC

• ExpertPoint Engagement Manager will start the incorporation process by applying for a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for the owner and the nominee. The application of the DSC will require you to submit passport size photographs along with identity proof and address proof.
• In parallel to the Digital Signature Certificate application, we will also submit a name reservation request to the MCA. Name approval applications are usually processed within 24-72 hours. The company’s name must adhere to the naming conventions and must include or end with the words “OPC”.
• Once the company’s name is approved, we will file an incorporation application with the MCA along with the signed Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. Moreover, identity proof, address proof, and residence proof of the member and nominee is required.
• In addition to the above documents, other documents like affidavits and declaration of the sole owner must be submitted. The nominee director’s consent must also be attached in Form INC-3.
• Once the filing is completed, you will be granted approval by the Registrar of Companies and will receive an incorporation certificate.
• On obtaining the incorporation certificate, the OPC can proceed to initiate the process of bank account opening and the promoter must deposit the amount mentioned in the MOA of the company.
• Once the capital amount is deposited into the banks current account, we will file for the commencement of business with the MCA. The commencement of business certificate must be obtained within 180 days of incorporation to avoid a penalty.
