One-person company

Why has the government proposed to allow one-person-companies (OPCs)?

Dhanraj, Mayiladudurai

Maybe for two reasons. First, because many other countries do allow OPCs. And, second, it might have thought when two person companies can be allowed — private companies can be followed with just two persons — why not go a step further and allow a single person to form a company and thus acquire two faces. Perhaps, the idea is to put those dealing with individuals on guard — verify the creditworthiness and adequacy of their capital that they have committed to their business before dealing with them.
