OPC to Private Limited Company
Convert your One Person Company into a private limited company to bring in shareholders.
Converting an OPC to a private limited company
A One Person Company can convert into a private limited company — voluntarily at any time since the 2021 amendments, or when the founder wants to bring in co-founders and investors.
The conversion adds at least one more member and director, alters the MOA and AOA, and is filed in Form INC-6.
How conversion works
- 01
Add members & directors
Bring the company to at least two members and two directors.
- 02
Resolutions & alterations
Pass the resolutions and alter the MOA and AOA to those of a private company.
- 03
File INC-6
File INC-6 with the ROC for the conversion, with the supporting documents.
- 04
Update records
Update the registers and the name (dropping “OPC”), and the registrations.

Frequently asked questions
Is conversion of an OPC still mandatory above a threshold?
No. Since April 2021 there is no turnover or capital threshold forcing conversion; you convert voluntarily, typically to bring in investors.
What changes on conversion?
The company adds members and directors, drops “OPC” from its name, removes the nominee, and adopts private-company articles.
How long does it take?
Usually about two weeks for the resolutions and INC-6 filing, once the new members and directors are in place.
