Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

An OPC can be formed only by a natural person who is an Indian citizen and resident in India, so (A) holds. It cannot carry on non-banking financial investment activity, so (B) holds. The prescribed paid up capital ceiling is Rs. 50 lakh, so (C) holds. The turnover ceiling is an average annual turnover of Rs. 2 crore, not Rs. 5 crore, so (D) fails.

Note: The capital and turnover ceilings sit in the conversion rules read with Rule 3; we have answered as per the textbook treatment.
