What is Conversion of Private Company into One Person Company (OPC)?

The Companies Act 2013 allows everyone to transform one type of company into another. Converting a private limited company into a One Person Company (OPC) came under Section 18 of the Act and Rule 7 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014.
