Share Transfer move ownership, recorded correctly.
End-to-end share transfer services in Mumbai and across India — share transfer deeds, stamp duty computation, board approval, share certificate endorsement, and updates to the register of members for private limited companies.
A share transfer is the process by which ownership of shares in a company moves from one person to another — between existing shareholders, to a new investor, between family members, or as part of an exit. In a private limited company, share transfers are governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and are usually subject to restrictions and pre-emption rights set out in the Articles of Association.
A valid transfer requires a properly executed share transfer deed in Form SH-4, payment of stamp duty on the transfer, delivery of the deed along with the share certificate to the company, approval of the transfer by the board of directors, endorsement of the share certificate in the transferee's name, and updating of the register of members. Skipping any step leaves the transfer legally incomplete.
Our share transfer practice manages the entire process — checking the Articles for transfer restrictions and pre-emption rights, preparing the Form SH-4 transfer deed, computing and arranging stamp duty, drafting the board resolution approving the transfer, endorsing share certificates, and updating the statutory registers. The result is a clean, legally complete change of ownership recorded in the company's records.
