Transfer of Share along with draft documents: Companies Act, 2013

There may be times when you want to change the share structure of your company; either by adding a new shareholder or by changing the existing proportion of shares between shareholders. A share transfer is the process of transferring existing shares from one person to another; either by sale or gift.
The securities of a company including the shares are generally freely transferable. Transfer of shares of the private company is governed by the articles of the company. Companies Act, 2013 provides for the procedure of transfer of shares by both public and the private company. The form sh 4 for transfer of share needs to be filled.
One of the important features of the securities of a company is their transferability. Companies Act, 2013 under Section 44 provides that the shares, debentures or other interest of the member of a company are moveable property and hence are transferable in the manner as provided in the company’s articles of association.
Generally, securities of a company are freely transferable though there may be certain restrictions imposed on the transfer of shares of the private company as provided in their articles. Such restrictions, if any are added to protect the interest of shareholders and other security holders. Section 56 of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that the transfer of shares of the company and other securities will be registered by a company only when a proper instrument of transfer of shares (share transfer form) is filed as prescribed in the Form No. SH 4. The form sh 4 for transfer of share needs to be duly stamped, with adequate value, dated and executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee.
Form Sh 4 is needed to be sent to the company by the transferor or the transferee of the shares within sixty days from the date of execution of share transfer agreement along with the share transfer certificate or certificate relating to securities. In case there is no such share transfer certificate, the application for transfer of shares must be sent along with the letter of allotment of securities.
Transfer of shares partly paid shall not be registered by the company unless a notice in the form SH 5 has been issued to the buyer of shares and has obtained a No Objection Letter from the buyer within two weeks from the date of receipt of a notice.
 We will discuss what is meant by restriction for transfer of share in case of PVT Company. Restriction means that share can not to be transfer directly to other non member & we have to follow the following procedure for transfer of share in a Private Company.
1. As there is restriction for private companies under Companies Act, 2013 regarding transfer of shares, So firstly the member who want to transfer his share shall place a request to company that he is willing to transfer his shares that can be offered to existing members of the company.(format attached as annexure-a)
2. After receiving notice of intention to transfer the share then this agenda shall be transacted at Board Meeting & a notice to all other existing member will be sent regarding purchase of share.( Annexure-B)
3. If no other existing member is ready to purchase share then company shall send the letter to the member who want to sell his share stating that now he can transfer the share to non –existing member. (ANNEXURE-C)
4. Then the shareholder who wants to transfer his share can submit the share transfer deed duly executed to the Company.( Annexure-D)
5. After receiving the Share Transfer deed along with Share Certificate Company need to pass a Board Resolution & register the entry for transfer of share. (Annexure-E)
