Transfer of shares is the process of selling or gifting company shares from one shareholder to another. While no MCA e-form is required for share transfers in a Pvt. Ltd. company, a detailed set of internal documents must be prepared, signed, and maintained. LegalSearch handles the complete share transfer process including Share Transfer Deed, Board Resolution, and updating of Statutory Registers.
Proper documentation ensures the share transfer is legally enforceable and recognised by all stakeholders including banks, courts, and investors.
We update the Register of Members and Register of Share Transfers — mandatory under the Companies Act, 2013.
Share transfers attract 0.25% stamp duty on the consideration value. LegalSearch ensures correct stamp duty is paid on the transfer deed.
We prepare and issue a fresh Share Certificate in the transferee's name, cancelling the old certificate in the company's records.
A Board Resolution must approve every share transfer. LegalSearch drafts the resolution and prepares the complete Board Meeting documentation.
Share transfers are recorded in the Annual Return (MGT-7). Proper documentation ensures the Annual Return accurately reflects current shareholding.

Share transfer is the process by which a shareholder of a company sells, gifts, or transfers their shares to another existing shareholder or any other person, who then becomes the new shareholder.
Share Transfer Form (SH-4) signed by both parties, original Share Certificate, PAN and address proof of both parties, Board Resolution approving the transfer, and proof of consideration paid.
The Transferor is the person who currently holds the shares and is transferring them. The Transferee is the person who is receiving the shares and becomes the new shareholder.
SH-4 is the standard share transfer deed prescribed under the Companies Act, 2013. It is signed by both the transferor and transferee and must be stamped with the applicable stamp duty.
No separate e-form is filed with MCA at the time of transfer. However, the transfer must be recorded in the company's Statutory Registers, and the updated shareholding is reflected in the Annual Return (MGT-7).
Stamp duty of 0.25% of the consideration value (selling price) of the shares is payable on the Share Transfer Deed.
No. Physical ink signatures of both the transferor and transferee are mandatory on the Share Transfer Form. Digital signatures are not accepted for share transfer deeds.
Yes. The original Share Certificate of the transferor must be surrendered to the company, which then issues a new Share Certificate in the name of the transferee.
No. Only the signatures of the Transferor and Transferee are required on the Share Transfer Form. Other shareholders do not need to sign.
After board approval, the company updates the Register of Members, issues a new Share Certificate to the transferee, and records the transfer in the Share Transfer Register.
