How to convert a Company into an OPC- step by step process

This brief write up an attempt has been made to unlock the technicalities related to Conversion of Private Company into One Person Company prescribed under Companies Act, 2013. I believe that the procedure for Conversion of Private Limited Company into One Person Company through this article would be of some help for you all.

Conversion of status of company from private to OPC would become effective form the date of receipt of the approval of the Registrar through the change of name would become effective on the issue of fresh Certificate of Incorporation.

The Companies Act, 2013 was expected to simplify the provisions but on the contrary it brought lot of restrictions on doing business. Therefore the private companies are converting themselves into One Person Company.

A One Person company can be easily managed with less compliance to be followed, conversion of the Sole Proprietor firm or Partnership or Private Limited Company to One Person Company would benefit most people.
