Share transfer refers to the process of transferring ownership of shares in a company from one shareholder to another.
This can be done by way of a sale, gift, or any other transfer mode as provided under the Companies Act, 2013.
Share transfers are common in both public and private limited companies, where shareholders may wish to buy or sell their shares for various reasons, such as raising funds, consolidating ownership, or exiting the company.
The process of share transfer involves a number of legal and regulatory requirements, such as the execution of a share transfer agreement, payment of stamp duty, and registration of the transfer with the company’s registrar of companies (ROC).
