The transfer of shares in a private limited company in India is governed by the Companies Act, 2013, and the rules and regulations prescribed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). In this blog post, we will discuss the procedure for share transfer in a private limited company.
In a Private Limited Company, the transfer of shares is restricted to the company's Articles of Association (AOA). The AOA must be reviewed before any share transfer process begins.
Only the restrictions specified in the Articles of Association are legally binding, and any private agreements between shareholders are not binding on the company or the shareholders. The right to transfer shares cannot be completely prohibited or banned, as it is not permissible under the law.
The process of transfer of shares in a Private limited company is given below:
The first step in the share transfer process is to obtain a Share Transfer Deed, which is a legal document that transfers the ownership of shares from the transferor (seller) to the transferee (buyer). The Share Transfer Deed should be executed by both parties and must be stamped and signed in accordance with the Indian Stamp Act, 1899.
The Share Transfer Deed should contain the following details:
The transferor should obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the company, which confirms that the company has no objection to the transfer of shares. The NOC should be obtained within two months of the execution of the Share Transfer Deed.
The transferor should submit a written request to the company along with the original share certificate, the Share Transfer Deed, and the prescribed fee. The company will verify the documents and issue the NOC if there are no objections.
The transferor should submit the Share Transfer Deed, along with the original share certificate and NOC, to the company within 60 days of the execution of the Share Transfer Deed.
The company will verify the documents and update its records to reflect the transfer of shares. The company should also issue a new share certificate in the name of the transferee.
The board of directors of the company will consider the transfer request and approve or reject it based on the provisions of the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations.
If the transfer is approved, the board will record the transfer in its minutes and update the shareholders' register.
The Share Transfer Deed is subject to stamp duty, which is payable as per the applicable rates in the respective state. The stamp duty should be paid before the transfer documents are submitted to the company.
The company should file the necessary forms with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) within 30 days of the transfer of shares. The forms to be filed include Form SH-4 (for transfer of shares) and Form MGT-7 (for filing annual returns).

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
