Share Transfer Services
📌 What is Share Transfer?
A share transfer is the legal process of transferring ownership of shares from one shareholder to another. It can occur due to sale, gift, inheritance, corporate restructuring, or ESOP exercises.
Under the Companies Act, 2013, all share transfers must comply with statutory provisions to ensure the transaction is legally valid, transparent, and recorded in the company’s statutory registers. Proper share transfer practices safeguard the rights of both the transferor and the transferee while maintaining corporate governance standards.
📌 Why Share Transfer Services are Important
