One Person Company (OPC) Registration
A Single-Owner Company with Limited Liability and Corporate Identity — Introduced Under the Companies Act, 2013
A One Person Company (OPC) is a company with only one member — introduced under the Companies Act, 2013 to enable solo entrepreneurs to enjoy the benefits of limited liability and corporate structure without requiring a second shareholder. The single member is also the sole director and must nominate a natural person as their nominee in the MOA — the nominee becomes the member upon the death or incapacity of the original member.
An OPC combines the simplicity of a proprietorship with the legal protection of a company — making it ideal for individual entrepreneurs, freelancers, and professionals who want a corporate identity. For businesses expecting to grow beyond one owner, see our private limited company registration service.

GSTR-9 is an annual GST return that summarizes all transactions reported during the financial year. It is required to ensure proper reconciliation and compliance with GST laws.
All regular GST-registered taxpayers are required to file GSTR-9, except composition dealers, casual taxable persons, and non-resident taxpayers.
The due date is generally 31st December following the end of the relevant financial year, unless extended by the government.
It includes details of outward supplies, inward supplies, input tax credit claimed, taxes paid, and adjustments made during the year.
GSTR-9 is mandatory for most regular taxpayers, but certain small taxpayers may get exemptions based on turnover thresholds notified by the government.
Late filing may result in penalties and late fees, along with potential compliance issues or notices from GST authorities.
