One Person Company Registration in India by an NRI 

Everything you need to know about OPC Registration in India by an NRI

A One Person Company (OPC) is a private limited structure designed for solo entrepreneurs who want limited liability and full ownership. For NRIs, this structure offers the advantage of starting a business in India without needing a partner, while still enjoying corporate benefits under the Companies Act, 2013.

As per MCA regulations, an NRI who has stayed in India for at least 120 days during the previous financial year can register an OPC. It’s ideal for independent consultants, remote business owners, or overseas Indians managing Indian operations from abroad.

Ebizfiling assists NRIs throughout the process from Digital Signature (DSC) registration and Director Identification Number (DIN) to name approval, incorporation, and post-registration compliance.

Pre-requisites for One Person Company Registration in India by an NRI

  • One Person Company requires only one director and one shareholder (Both can be the same person)
  • An office address in India.
  • Directors Identification Number (DIN) and Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) (Most of the forms filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) must be signed with the DSC).
  • In order to register a One Person Company by an NRI, the identity proof, address proof as well as documents regarding Indian origin are required.
  • Every one of these documents is required to be attested through the Indian embassy or notary public.
