Overview
What a share transfer involves
Shares in a private limited company transfer through a share transfer deed in Form SH-4, duly stamped.
The company's board must approve the transfer, and private company Articles typically restrict transfers - pre-emption rights and board consent are common.
Stamp duty is payable on the transfer at the prescribed rate on the consideration value.
The register of members and share certificates must be updated - until recorded, the transfer is not complete.

- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing
- Allow time for apostilled or consularised documents
Plan for after setup
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

Yes. Gifts of shares still need a transfer deed and stamping, though the valuation basis differs. We handle gift transfers too.
The transfer is between shareholders; the company's role is to approve and record it. But the paperwork must be right for the company to accept it.
Transfers to non-residents trigger FEMA pricing and reporting requirements. We handle the cross-border compliance alongside the transfer.
Until the transfer is recorded, the seller remains the member on record. We complete the full loop - deed, approval, endorsement, register.
