The mandatory conversion rule tied to \u20b950 lakh capital \/ \u20b92 crore turnover was removed by the same 2021 amendment.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the most common issues that lead to rejection?<\/h3>\n<p>Common issues include documentation errors, inconsistencies in the application and supporting documents, and proposed names that do not satisfy MCA naming requirements all avoidable with a careful pre-submission check.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I resubmit after a rejection?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, correct the specific issue cited and resubmit through the applicable MCA process. Check the remarks shown against your SRN for the exact reason and next step, since resubmission and rejection are handled somewhat differently (see the distinction above).<\/p>\n<h3>Does a rejected application prevent me from applying again?<\/h3>\n<p>A rejected application does not by itself mean the applicant is permanently barred from making a fresh incorporation application. Address the reason for rejection and follow the applicable MCA filing process.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does it take after correcting a rejected OPC application?<\/h3>\n<p>The timeline depends on the reason for resubmission, the completeness of the correction, and MCA processing. Follow the resubmission deadline shown for the relevant SRN and correct all remarks before resubmitting, rather than assuming a fixed turnaround.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need a CA or CS to register an OPC, or can I do it myself?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s not legally mandatory for every step, but professional review before submission meaningfully reduces rejection risk, especially around documentation and the SPICe+ form.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CTA block 4 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"kp-cta-banner c1-brand-classic\">\n<div class=\"kp-cta-left\">\n<h3 class=\"c1-headline\">Get expert help registering your OPC<\/h3>\n<p class=\"c1-subhead\">No rejections, no delays.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c1-action\"><a class=\"kp-btn c1-btn\" href=\"#form\">Talk to an Expert<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having an OPC registration application rejected is frustrating, but it&#8217;s rarely random, the MCA rejects applications for specific, avoidable reasons, almost always&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":35786,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"no","footnotes":""},"categories":[3994],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-35785","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-one-person-company"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>OPC Registration Rejected?
