It governs the registration and functioning of one person company in India.

Registering an OPC in India requires a single director and a single member representing the whole firm.

This type of business can be incorporated in fifteen days and hence makes it one of the most popular types of business to begin in the unsystematic sector, specifically among merchants and small traders. For a Sole Proprietorship business, registration is not required as it is identified through alternate registrations, such as GST registrations. However, its liability is unlimited and it also doesn’t have perpetual existence.
Nidhi Company

The main business of such a company is to facilitate lending money between the core members of the company. This way, members (or shareholders) are encouraged to save money and invest them within the company. The company then uses these deposits for its members (or shareholders) to provide loans or advances and to acquire government-issued stocks/bonds/debentures/securities. It is regulated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, while the RBI monitors all its financial dealings.
Producer Company
A Producer Company was introduced in India with the Companies Act, 2013. It gives persons engaged in activities related to producing (what has been grown or produced, particularly by farming) the opportunity to form a company. A farmer producer company can be formed by 10 or more producers (persons involved in, or in activities related to, produce or growth), two or more producer institutions or a combination of 10 or more producers and producer institutions. Such a company can only have equity capital, require a minimum of five directors and an authorised capital of ₹ 5 lakh. The procedure for forming a Farmer Producer company is similar to the one for forming a private limited company.
Partnership Firm
A business established by two or more partners with the goal of achieving a profit is called a partnership firm registration. There are benefits to registering a partnership firm. The legal document used to establish a partnership company registration is known as a partnership deed.
The Indian Partnership Registration Act of 1932 is the primary governing partnership registration law in India. A partnership, as defined by the law, is a union of individuals who have consented to divide the profits from a company that they all, or any of them, act for a banking business. A partnership firm registration can only have a maximum of 10 members, whereas for other enterprises, it can have a maximum of 20 members.
While the partners are separate legal entities, partnership firms are not. A partnership firm registration is not permitted to be a debtor, creditor, or property owner. According to the law, the assets, liabilities, and credit of a partnership registration firm belong to the partners. To prevent future misunderstandings, the partnership agreement must specifically state how profits and losses will be distributed among the partners. Each partner is allowed to conduct business on behalf of the others.
