OVERVIEW
Seamless Transition from OPC to Pvt Ltd
Under Section 18 of the Companies Act, 2013, a One Person Company (OPC) can convert into a Private Limited Company either voluntarily or mandatorily when business expansion demands additional equity, co-founders, or venture funding.
Upon conversion, your existing legal identity, operational contracts, GSTIN, PAN, and brand rights are fully preserved while granting you the capacity to add up to 200 shareholders.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Converting an OPC to a Private Limited Company is a change in legal status, not a dissolution. Your existing Corporate Identity Number (CIN), PAN, TAN, and GSTIN remain unchanged.
Yes. As per the revised Companies (Incorporation) Rules, an OPC can apply for voluntary conversion into a Private Limited Company at any time after its incorporation.
A Private Limited Company requires a minimum of 2 directors. Since an OPC has 1 director, at least 1 new director must be appointed during the conversion process.
