WHAT IS TRANSFER OF SHARES?

Transfer of shares means a transfer of ownership of shares in whole or part from an existing holder to a new one either by adding a new shareholder or by changing the existing proportion of shares between shareholders. The entire process is internal which only gets recorded in minutes, and no further filing of the form with the ROC is required. Further, the transfer of the shares attracts stamp duty at the rate as prescribed in the Stamp Act for respective states and the payment can be borne either by the transferor or the transferee.

The shares transfer procedure is regulated by the articles of association of the company. The procedure for the same varies from a private limited company to a public limited company. In case of a company that is required to hold shares in physical form and the entire shares as mentioned on the certificate are being transferred to another person, then the name of the transferee is written at the back of the share certificate but if the part of shares are being transferred the old share certificate need to be canceled, and fresh share certificates with split in shares will be required to be executed.

Once the company receives a duly stamped, dated & executed instrument of share transfer i.e. SH-4 along with other relevant documents, it shall after verifying the documents properly, register the concerning transfer of shares within a period of one month of the receipt of the above-specified documents.
