Transfer of Shares

Transfer shares from one shareholder to another and update the company records.

Overview

Transfer ownership smoothly and legally

Shares of a company can be transferred from one person to another, for example when an owner exits or a new shareholder joins. The transfer must be documented and recorded properly.

A transfer is made using a share transfer deed in Form SH-4 with the applicable stamp duty. The board approves the transfer, the share certificates are endorsed, and the register of members is updated. In a private company, the articles may place restrictions on transfers.

Our experts prepare the deed and complete the transfer correctly.
