OVERVIEW

What is OPC ROC Compliance?

One Person Companies (OPCs) must adhere to specific compliance requirements outlined by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). These include filing annual returns, financial statements, and maintaining necessary records with the ROC. ROC compliance for OPCs ensures that the company remains in good legal standing and that the operations are fully transparent to the government and stakeholders.

Why is OPC ROC Compliance Important?

  1. Legal Obligations: OPCs are required by law to file specific forms and maintain certain records. Non-compliance can result in penalties, legal action, or even the striking off of the company.

  2. Avoid Penalties and Fines: Failing to comply with ROC requirements can lead to hefty penalties, which could significantly impact your business’s finances.

  3. Maintain Credibility: Regular compliance demonstrates transparency and enhances your company’s credibility with clients, investors, and other stakeholders.

  4. Director’s Protection: Non-compliance can lead to the disqualification of the director, making it impossible for them to start or manage any other company in the future.

  5. Smoother Business Operations: Proper compliance ensures that your business operations run smoothly without the risk of legal hurdles or financial penalties disrupting the process.

What Does OPC ROC Compliance AMC Include?

At LPC Consultancy, our OPC ROC Compliance AMC covers all the essential tasks required to keep your OPC fully compliant with ROC regulations. Our experts ensure that all filings are done accurately and on time, protecting your business from non-compliance risks. Here’s what our AMC includes:

    • Annual returns contain crucial details about the company’s management, ownership, and operational structure. We help you file Form MGT-7, ensuring all the necessary information is accurate and up-to-date.

  2. Filing Financial Statements (Form AOC-4)

    • Your company’s financial health must be reported to the ROC annually through Form AOC-4, which includes the balance sheet, profit and loss account, and other financial documents. We prepare and file these documents in compliance with accounting standards.

  3. Director KYC (DIN-3 KYC)

    • The director of your OPC is required to complete their KYC annually. Our team handles the filing of DIN-3 KYC, ensuring the director remains compliant and avoids disqualification.

  7. Income Tax Filing

    • While not part of ROC compliance, filing income tax returns is an essential compliance task. Our AMC includes assistance with income tax return filing to ensure that your OPC remains tax-compliant.

  8. Support for Auditor Appointment (Form ADT-1)

    • Appointing an auditor is mandatory for all OPCs. We assist with filing Form ADT-1 for the appointment or reappointment of an auditor, ensuring your company’s financial audits are conducted as per regulations.
