main difference is sole trader has unlimited liability and one person company has limited liability
both the orgn are their or sole trader is replaced by one person company
Both are there.
Don't worry.
Govt. has introduced a new concept of OPC since co.act2013, as per which an individual who is citizen & resident of India can become the member of OPC.

⏺️ liability of the member of OPC is limited;
🔽 while liability of sole trader is unlimited.

🔽while no act for sole trader.
