Single Ownership Restriction

  • An OPC can have only one shareholder, limiting its ability to bring in additional owners or investors.

Mandatory Conversion on Exceeding Limits

  • If an OPC’s paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakhs or its annual turnover surpasses ₹ two crores, it must be converted into a private or public limited company within six months.
  • This mandatory conversion increases compliance requirements and may disrupt business operations.

  • An OPC cannot engage in Non-Banking Financial Activities (NBFCs) such as investment, chit funds, or securities trading.
  • It cannot be incorporated as a Section 8 company (charitable organization), limiting its scope for non-profit activities.
