One Person Company (OPC) Compliances refer to the regulatory requirements that a One Person Company must fulfill under the Companies Act, 2013 in India. These compliances ensure smooth business operations, legal validity, and avoidance of penalties from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
An OPC must file Annual Returns (MGT-7A) within 180 days of the financial year-end and submit Financial Statements (AOC-4) containing the balance sheet and audit reports. Appointing a Chartered Accountant (CA) for a statutory audit is mandatory. Additionally, OPCs must file Income Tax Returns (ITR), GST Returns (if applicable), and maintain proper financial records.
Unlike other companies, an OPC is required to hold at least one Board Meeting every six months. Failure to comply may lead to penalties and legal issues. Regular adherence to these compliance norms ensures the credibility, smooth functioning, and legal standing of the business while preventing unnecessary fines.
