OPC & Pvt Ltd (ROC) Overview
From the day of incorporation to every filing that follows — a single map of what One Person Companies and Private Limited companies owe the Registrar.
OPCs and Private Limited companies are both registered and regulated by the Registrar of Companies under the Companies Act, 2013, but their compliance load differs in scale. A Private Limited company has a full governance calendar — AGM, board meetings, MGT-7, related-party disclosures and, above certain thresholds, auditor rotation. An OPC follows a lighter version of the same framework, with no AGM requirement and a simplified annual return, but adds one unique obligation: maintaining a valid, consenting nominee at all times. Both share the same core filings for incorporation, director changes, capital changes and other structural alterations.
The full ROC lifecycle, in one place
Every stage a company or OPC moves through after registration.
- Incorporation via SPICe+ and initial post-incorporation filings
- Annual compliance — AOC-4, MGT-7/7A, ADT-1, DIR-3 KYC
- Director and auditor appointments, resignations and rotation
- Structural changes — name, registered office, capital and objects
- OPC-specific nominee and member change filings
- Conversion between OPC and private/public company structures
Compliance building blocks
Three groups of filings every OPC and private company should have covered.
Incorporation & Structure
Getting registered correctly, and keeping the company's structure — name, office, capital, objects — accurate over time.
Annual Filings
The recurring obligations tied to the financial year: financials, annual return, auditor and director confirmations.
People Changes
Director appointments and exits, auditor appointments and rotation, and — for OPCs — nominee and member changes.

Why we built this as one service map
What sets our approach apart.
Filings rarely stand alone
A capital increase often precedes a share allotment; a name change often coincides with a registered office review — we plan for these dependencies.
OPCs and Pvt Ltd share more than they differ
Most of the annual and structural filings are the same process with minor variations, so one team can serve both efficiently.
Growth changes the requirements
An OPC that converts to a private company, or a private company approaching public-company thresholds, needs its compliance plan to evolve with it.
