Closing a One Person Company (OPC) is a legally prescribed procedure used to formally shut down an inactive, non-operational, or discontinued OPC in India as per the provisions of the Companies Act and MCA guidelines.
OPC Closure ensures that the company is officially removed from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) records, eliminating the need for ongoing annual filings, audits, and statutory compliances. It also helps avoid late fees, penalties, and future legal notices arising from non-compliance.
With professional Chartered Accountant (CA) assistance, the OPC closure process becomes structured, error-free, and fully compliant. Experts handle documentation, financial statements, Form STK-2 filing, and MCA follow-ups, ensuring a smooth, timely, and legally secure exit for the sole member.
Inactive OPCs continue to attract compliance until legally closed. Complete the closure process once and stay penalty-free forever.
