According to Section 2(62), a company with only one member is defined as OPC. The director of the OPC company is not the same as the director of the company. Since the introduction of GST on 01 July 2017, many OPC companies have migrated or enrolled for registration for GST. GST registration can be completed entirely online. Physical documents are not required to be submitted. In order to register for GST, OPC must submit scan copies of documents. GST Number is a 15-digit number that is based on the PAN number of the company.

Applicability of GST registration for OPC

Presume the supply of goods and services is conducted across the state, regardless of annual turnover. In that case, a one-person company must register for GST. GST registration is required and is broken down into five simple steps for easy comprehension.

Turnover Criteria

The supply of goods or services which has an annual turnover more than ₹20 lakhs in case of services and ₹40 lakhs in case of goods shall apply for GST registration.

Supply Outside State

The registration of GST is required for a one-person company if the business of supply of goods or services is across state irrespective of their annual turnover. For instance, GST registration is required if an OPC registered in Gujarat supplies goods to Punjab.

Existing VAT / Service tax / Excise registration

An existing OPC with a service tax / VAT / Excise registration is required to enrol for GST Registration. The GST department initially provided a provisional ID and password for GST migration.
