The Basics

What is a Share Transfer?

A share transfer is the process of transferring existing shares from one person (the transferor) to another (the transferee). This effectively changes the ownership structure of the company. In a Private Limited Company, this process is governed by the rules set in its Articles of Association (AOA). The entire process revolves around a key document: the Share Transfer Deed, also known as Form SH-4.

Key Requirements

Essential compliance requirements for a valid share transfer under Companies Act 2013.

  • Share Transfer Deed (Form SH-4): Fully executed legal document for transfer
  • AOA Compliance: Company's Articles of Association must not restrict the transfer
  • Stamp Duty: Adequate stamp duty (0.015% of market value) must be paid
  • Original Share Certificate: Must be attached with the transfer deed
  • Board Resolution: Board approval for the transfer is mandatory

Legal Alert

An unstamped or improperly executed share transfer deed is legally invalid and won't be accepted by the company.

Transfer Types & Scenarios

Common scenarios and types of share transfers in Private Limited Companies.

  • New Partner Entry: Bringing in fresh investors or business partners
  • Shareholder Exit: Existing shareholders selling their stake and exiting
  • Family Transfers: Transferring shares to family members or relatives
  • Restructuring: Corporate restructuring or reorganization of shareholding

Expert Tip

Private Limited Companies can refuse share transfers if permitted by AOA, unlike public companies where transfers are freely transferable.
