Frequently Asked Questions
How is an OPC taxed?
An OPC under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act 2013 is taxed identically to a private limited company — ITR-6, subject to MAT under Section 115JB, and eligible for the Section 115BAA concessional rate of 22% (effective 25.168% with surcharge and cess).
Can the sole director-member deduct salary?
Yes — remuneration paid to the sole director is deductible in the OPC's hands under Section 37(1), provided it is commensurate with services rendered. Unlike partners in a firm, there is no statutory cap on director remuneration in a private company. The remuneration is taxable in the director's hands as salary under Section 15, subject to TDS under Sec 192, IT Act 1961 (≡ §392, IT Act 2025).
When must an OPC mandatorily convert?
Under Rule 6 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules 2014, an OPC must convert when paid-up capital exceeds ₹50 lakh or average annual turnover for the preceding 3 years exceeds ₹2 crore. Conversion is via Form INC-6 — the tax profile does not change on conversion since both OPC and Pvt Ltd are assessed under the same corporate tax rules.
What is the advance tax obligation for an OPC?
Same as any domestic company — Section 208 requires advance tax if liability exceeds ₹10,000, paid in four instalments (15% by 15 June, 45% by 15 September, 75% by 15 December, 100% by 15 March). Interest under Section 234B and 234C applies on shortfalls.
What ROC filings interact with the OPC's tax filings?
The OPC must file Form AOC-4 (financial statements) within 180 days of the close of the financial year (a special grace period vs. 60 days for other companies) and Form MGT-7A (annual return) by 27 September. The CA coordinates the statutory audit, ROC filing, and ITR-6 together to use the same set of audited financials.
