Share Transfer

Share transfer is the process of transferring ownership of shares from one shareholder to another in a company. It is a common practice in private and public companies, allowing investors, promoters, or stakeholders to restructure ownership. The transfer must comply with the Companies Act, 2013 and the company’s Articles of Association (AOA), which may impose restrictions, especially in private companies where prior approval or rights of first refusal may be required.

To initiate a share transfer, the transferor and transferee must execute a share transfer deed (Form SH-4), duly signed and stamped. The company must receive the transfer request along with the original share certificate, and upon verification, the board of directors approves and registers the transfer. For public companies, shares held in dematerialized (demat) form are transferred electronically through depositories like NSDL and CDSL, ensuring a seamless and paperless process.

Proper documentation and compliance are crucial to avoid legal disputes or delays. Companies must update their register of members and issue a new share certificate to the transferee within the prescribed time. Additionally, applicable stamp duty must be paid based on the value of shares being transferred. Ensuring a smooth and legally compliant share transfer process helps maintain transparency and credibility in corporate transactions.
