FAQ

We offer all-in-one support for entrepreneurs, startups, and established firms.

What is a Share Transfer and when is it required?
Share transfer is the process of transferring ownership of shares from one person or entity to another. It is commonly done during exits, restructuring, or investment funding rounds.
Is stamp duty mandatory on share transfers?
Yes. Stamp duty is compulsory as per the respective state stamp laws and must be paid precisely on the value of the shares being transferred.
Can shares of a private limited company be freely transferred?
No. Most private limited companies have strict restrictions outlined in their Articles of Association (AOA) that limit share transfers without prior board approval.
Is Form SH-4 required for all share transfers?
Yes, unless the shares are held in demat form. For physical shareholding, Form SH-4 is a legally mandatory instrument for the execution of the transfer.
What happens if a company refuses to register a transfer?
If the board refuses, they must send a notice of refusal within 30 days. The transferee then has the right to appeal to the NCLT against the refusal.
Does LexNex assist in stamp duty calculation?
Yes. We completely handle state-wise stamp duty compliance, highly accurate calculations, and payment support to ensure the transfer is legally effective.
Are LexNex’s services compliant with regulations?
Yes, all our services follow strict guidelines laid out by the MCA and Companies Act, ensuring full legal compliance and dispute-free corporate security.
Can international shareholders transfer shares in India?
Yes. However, the process must strictly comply with FEMA, RBI, and FDI guidelines, which we assist with under our extended corporate legal services.
Will company records be updated after the transfer?
Yes. We proactively ensure that the Register of Members, Share Certificates, and MCA records accurately reflect the updated ownership, maintaining 100% compliance.
