  • Other legal entities cannot incorporate an OPC.
  • A nominee should be appointed by the promoter during incorporation

Filing for incorporation

Both are registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and are issued a certificate of incorporation. The processing time taking for incorporation average about 20 days. A private limited company costs at least Rs. 15,000 to start. But once this is done, you need to shell out at least Rs.15000 a year to comply with the MCA's rules and regulations. An LLP is much cheaper. It costs just around Rs.11,000 to register and around Rs.4000 to comply with MCA regulations. Also the number of documents that have to be printed on Non Judicial Stamp Paper and Notarized is less for LLP than private limited company registration. In LLP if the annual turn over is less than 40 lakhs and the capital contribution is less than 25 lakhs then no need to be audited.

Incorporation

  • After obtaining name approval, other documents like affidavits and declaration of the sole promoter must be submitted.
  • Form INC3 must be attached for the nominee.
  • Approval is granted by the Registrar of companies within 2 to 3 days. If there is any issue the incorporation application can be asked for resubmission.
