The legal process of changing entity type — e.g. OPC to private limited, partnership to LLP, or LLP to company — under the Companies Act, 2013 or LLP Act, 2008 via MCA filings.
There is no single statutory “conversion” form for proprietorship to company. The usual path is to incorporate a new private limited company (SPICe+) and transfer the business to it under a business transfer arrangement, with tax and GST planning.
Typically 15–45 working days depending on the conversion type, completeness of documents and ROC processing. OPC to Pvt Ltd is often on the shorter end; private to public can take longer.
Some paths may benefit from specific Income Tax Act provisions (e.g. aspects of Section 47) if conditions are met. Others do not have a dedicated exemption. Tax treatment should be reviewed for your facts before proceeding.
Common forms include INC-6 (OPC conversions), URC-1 and SPICe+ (firm/LLP to company), Form 17 / FiLLiP (partnership to LLP), and INC-27 (private ↔ public). Exact forms depend on the route.
In statutory conversions (e.g. under Section 366), assets and liabilities often vest in the new company by law. GST, bank and licence details still need formal updates. Proprietorship transfers require explicit assignment of contracts and registrations.
