Certain compliances are outlined in the Companies Act of 2013 and must be met by the specified deadlines. These regulations provide openness, good governance, and safeguard the interests of all parties involved, including the ROC, shareholders, directors, investors, and tax authorities. These compliances can be divided into annual compliances, recurring compliances, post-incorporation one-time compliances, and compliances dependent on events. The first category of one-time compliances has been thoroughly covered here.
A one person company must immediately comply with specific legal requirements outlined by the Companies Act of 2013 and, if necessary, secure local registrations in accordance with the state laws of the location where the OPC is conducting business.
