A One-Person Company (OPC) has to fulfill specific legal obligations to stay compliant and active. Every year, OPCs must file annual returns and audited financial statements with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), regardless of their turnover. These filings report the company’s financial status and activities.
Non-compliance can lead to penalties, removal of the company's name from the register, and disqualification of directors. At Vyapaar Registration, we understand the complexities of OPC compliance and offer expert assistance to help you meet all requirements on time, avoiding penalties and legal complications.
