Share Transfer Under Section 56

Voluntary passing of ownership via Form SH-4 (Rule 11). Shares are movable property (S.44), transferable per AOA. Private companies (S.2(68)) must restrict transferability - every AOA contains transfer restrictions (ROFR, board approval, prohibition without consent).

Multi-statute framework: Companies Act (S.44,56,58), Indian Stamp Act (0.25%), Income Tax (S.45,48,50CA,56(2)(x)), FEMA for cross-border, and AOA/SHA for contractual restrictions.

Transfer vs Transmission: Transfer = voluntary (SH-4, stamp duty, board). Transmission = operation of law (death, insolvency - no stamp duty, no SH-4). Patron handles both for Delhi companies.

Key Terms for Transfer of Shares in Delhi:

SH-4: Share Transfer Deed. Both parties sign. 0.25% stamp duty. Submit within 60 days with original certificate.

ROFR: Right of First Refusal. AOA pre-emption. Must offer to existing shareholders first.

FC-TRS: RBI FIRMS within 60 days for resident-NR transfers. FMV pricing mandatory.

Rule 9B: Demat mandate by 30 June 2026. Physical transfers invalid after for non-small companies.

Section 56 Share Transfer

When Delhi Companies Transfer Shares

Co-Founder Exit: Shares to remaining founders or buyback. SHA compliance (vesting, ROFR, drag-along).
Investor Exit: Secondary sale to new investor or back to promoters. Tag-along/drag-along compliance.
Family Restructuring: Gift transfers between defined relatives. Exempt from gift tax (S.56(2)(x)).
NRI/Foreign Transfer: Inbound (resident to NR) or exit (NR to resident). FEMA pricing + FC-TRS mandatory.
