Compliance of Transfer and Transmission of Shares. What is share as per the Companies Act, 2013? According to the Companies Act, 2013 "share" generally means a share in the share capital of a particular company and involves stock. A share is a smaller unit of capital, governing the ownership relationship between the company and its shareholder. What is transfer of shares? A share transfer is a way of transferring existing shares, its concerning rights and liabilities from one person to another person. A share can be transferred from only existing shares to its existing shareholders. Though the transferee may be an existing shareholder or not. It is the transfer of the rights and duties of a member of the company to any other person who desires to become a member of the company. It is an act of a member that is accustomed as per the articles mentioned in the AOA of the company. Who is allowed to transfer Shares? Legal Representatives of a deceased person in case of death or situation of insolvency the concerned person Subscribers to the Company Memorandum Transferor of company Transferee of company Listed as well as Unlisted Company Which section governs the Transfer of Shares? As per Section 56 of the CA, 2013[1], securities are free property and are transferred in a manner stated by the articles mentioned in the AOA of the company. A Shareholder is allowed to transfer shares to a person of one's own choice, whereas Private Limited company shares are restricted. Procedure for Transfer of Shares Firstly, the deeds which need to be moved need to be obtained in the E-form SH-4. There are certain situations in which the instrument of transfer need not be in the prescribed form. These are: Section 187 of the CA, 2013, when a Director or nominee transfers shares on beneath of other body incorporate. When the Director or nominee moves shares in favour of a corporation owned or controlled by the Central or state government. Shares moved by way of deposit for repayment of such loan or advance if the deposit is made with any of the given banks: State Bank of India Any Scheduled bank Any other Banking Company Financial Institution Central Government Any Corporation held by the Central or State Government. Government State Government Trustees According to the laws of the CA 2013, one should get AOA in situations of shares, trust deed in situations of Debentures where the transfer deed is incorporated either by the transferor or the transferee. According to the laws of the Indian Stamp Act, the transfer deed compulsory needs to have stamps. The stamp tax rate of transferring share is twenty-five subunits for each ten thousand rupees of the worth of the share. The Stamp duty on the transfer deed is checked to ensure whether it is cancelled after the prescribed time or before the signing of the transfer deed. The individual who has given his sign, name, and address for approval of transfer must certify that the transferor and transferee have signed the share/ debentures transfer deed. The prescribed share or debenture certificate or Letter of allotment, together with the transfer deed, should be attached and dispatched to the company. If the application is formed by the transferor for partly paid shares, the company has to notify the amount pending on shares/ debentures of the transferee. Together with this, a no Objection Certificate (NOC)is needed two weeks from the receipt date. A similar value stamp is affixed on the written application in situations of the signed transfer deed has been lost. Here, the Board shall register the transfer based on indemnity. If the shares of the company are listed in a recognized stock exchange, in such case the company cannot charge any payment for the incorporation of transfer of shares and debentures. Time Limits A company need not register the transfer of securities of the company other than that of the beneficial owners without a prescribed instrument of transfer. The prescribed time is 60 days from the execution date. Application by the transferor: The transfer need not be registered till the company gives notice of the application to the transferor. Here, the transferee gives NOC (No Objection Certificate) in two weeks from the notice receipt. Transmission of Securities Transmission of Securities is distinct from the Transfer of Securities, but most of us think these two terms the similar. In the case of transmission of shares, the shares are transferred to the deceased and the official assignee of the insolvent. Transmission of shares is a prescribed process when the shareholder died and his shares are immediately transferred to his representative or when a member is declared bankrupt. Basic Procedure for the Transmission of Share Given steps should be followed for the Share transmission: In the situation of joint holding or legal heir, the survivor who needs to transmission by operation of law has to apply with the company. Prescribed documents like Death certificate, succession Certificate, probate, etc. need to be attached along with the application. Thereafter, the company records the information regarding the death certificate, and a reference number for the recording of information is given to the shareholder. After the documents are submitted, the company reviews the documents and pass the transmission request in case the documents are correct. In case the documents submitted along with the transmission request are not correct, the company should communicate refusal of same to the concerned person in 30 days. Before the death of the shareholder, the dividend declared will be transferable to the legal representative, and in case after the death of the shareholder, the dividend shall be transferable to him only after the registration of his/her name. Implementation of transfer deed isn't mandatory for transmission of shares. Application of transmission together with prescribed documents ought to be enough for the request of valid transmission. Probate: If a member of a company left after him/her a letter of administration or a will then after his death the survivors should get a copy of 'will' which is certified by the competent Courts of jurisdiction seal. Thus, this is called a 'probate'. There is no wantfor a Succession certificate once the letter of administration and probate is there.
