The concept of one Person Company in India is brought from the foreign countries. This is brought into India for the smooth running and to form a new legal entity by an individual. Before applicability of the Companies act 2013, an individual legally can form only his sole proprietorship in India and no other option remain to him.
OPC provides a whole new bracket of opportunities for those who look forward to start their own ventures with a structure of organized business. OPC will give the young businessman all benefits of a private limited company which categorically means they will have access to credits, bank loans, limited liability, legal protection for business, access to market etc all in the name of a separate legal entity.
As defined in Section 2 (62) of the Companies Bill, 2013, One Person Company means a company which has only one person as a member.
Thus, Single Member Company or One Person Company has been defined as A Company which has only one person as a member under sub section 62 of section 2 of the Companies Act, 2013. It is now possible for a person, competent to enter a contract, to start such One Person Company which is like a proprietary firm with the benefits of a Limited Company.
One Person Company means a company which has only one person as a member. It may be formed for any lawful purpose by one person as a private company by subscribing his name to a memorandum and complying which the requirements of this act in respect of registration.
No longer will one search for business partners or shareholders to form a company. Forming a company will not require company of anyone else and one can fulfill his or her dream of having a company on his own by there being just one member of that company.
In recently passed Companies bill 2012, new concept of One Person Company has been introduced. It is considered as revolutionary step taken by government to encourage unorganized proprietorship business to enter in to organized corporate world.
A man is known by the company he keeps. But with the implementation of the Companies Bill 2009, a single person will constitute a Company, under the One Person Company (OPC) concept.As a structure for professionals, individual entrepreneurs, SMES and NGOs – the proposed Section 171 extends to Section 25 Companies as well – this is a godsend, as it insulates the shareholders personal assets from liability. But one wonders whether this Bill is the right platform or the timing is opportune. There have been too many writings on the Bill and its various dimensions. It is a critical piece of reform, which will be resisted and opposed by many.
