Simplified Regime
Annual compliance guidelines for One Person Companies
An OPC is classified as a small company under the Companies Act, 2013, allowing it to benefit from abridged annual return filing procedures under Form MGT-7A rather than the comprehensive Form MGT-7 required for larger corporations.
Additionally, because an OPC does not hold an AGM, the filing deadline for Form AOC-4 is fixed at 180 days from the closure of the financial year (typically September 27th). Form MGT-7A must be filed within 60 days from the completion of the 180-day window (typically November 26th).
VIDURA provides streamlined, cost-effective annual filing support designed specifically for solo entrepreneurs, ensuring compliance without administrative complexity.
