“There is no mandatory minimum paid-up capital requirement for One Person Company. One Person Companies are exempt from compliance under CARO, reducing the auditor's reporting requirements. The financial statements can be signed by just one director, instead of needing multiple signatures in an OPC.” Discuss this statement in the context of exemptions available to OPC and also state the compliance requirements which are not required to be followed by One Person Company.

Answer & Explanation:

Yes, the above statement is correct as the exemptions available to a One Person Company and the compliance requirements which are not required to be followed by a One Person Company (OPC) are as follows: An OPC has only one director, Secretarial Standard-1 (SS-1), pertaining to Board Meetings, will not apply. An OPC isn't required to hold an Annual General Meeting. Consequently, Secretarial Standard-2 (SS-2), which deals with AGMs, does not apply. Section 98 and Section 100 to Section 111 are not applicable on One Person Company. OPCs are exempt from preparing a Cash Flow Statement as part of their financial statements. OPCs are exempt from the mandatory rotation of auditors. Lesser penalties for OPC under Section 446B of the Companies Act, 2013.
