24 July 2024 In the case of a One Person Company (OPC) in India, the filing requirements for the Annual Return and other compliances are as follows:

1. **Annual Return Filing**:
- OPCs are required to file their Annual Return within 180 days from the close of the financial year.
- For example, if the financial year ends on 31st March, the Annual Return should be filed by 28th September of the same year.

2. **No AGM Requirement**:
- OPCs do not need to hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) as per the Companies Act, 2013. Therefore, the requirement to file Annual Return remains independent of the AGM.

3. **Conversion from Private Company to OPC**:
- Yes, if you want to convert a Private Company to an OPC, you need to comply with the provisions related to alteration of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
- This process involves passing a special resolution and submitting the necessary forms to the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Here are the steps involved in converting a Private Company to an OPC:

a. **Board Meeting**: Convene a board meeting to approve the conversion and pass a resolution for the same.

b. **Shareholder Approval**: Obtain shareholder approval by passing a special resolution in a general meeting.

c. **Application to ROC**: File Form MGT-14 within 30 days of passing the special resolution. This form notifies the ROC of the shareholder approval for conversion.

d. **Filing Form INC-6**: After receiving shareholder approval and passing the special resolution, file Form INC-6 with the ROC along with the required documents and fees.

e. **Approval from ROC**: Upon receipt of Form INC-6, the ROC will review the application. If satisfied, they will issue a fresh Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the conversion to OPC status.

f. **Compliance with Other Laws**: Ensure compliance with other applicable laws and regulations during and after the conversion process.

It’s advisable to consult with a Company Secretary or a professional familiar with company law to ensure compliance with all legal requirements and smooth transition from a Private Company to an OPC.
