Annual Compliance for One Person Company (OPC) in India – Simplified Guide
A One Person Company (OPC) is a type of private limited company in India, formed and managed by a single individual. Even though it has only one owner, it must still follow certain legal rules under the Companies Act, 2013 — including annual compliance filing with the ROC (Registrar of Companies).
Every OPC must file:
- Financial Statements (Form AOC-4)
- Annual Return (Form MGT-7A)
These filings are based on the financial year — April 1 to March 31 — and must be submitted even if the company had no income or activity.
Unlike larger companies, OPCs enjoy simplified compliance, but missing deadlines can lead to penalties and director disqualification. Required details include:
- Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss
- Company’s Registered Office Address
- Shareholding and Director details

- Contains details of shareholding structure, changes in directorship, and share transfers during the year (if any).

Failing to comply with OPC annual filing requirements can lead to heavy penalties, legal scrutiny, and even the company’s removal from official records.
