Share Transfer

Transferring private-company shares runs on Form SH-4: executed by both parties, stamped at 0.25% of consideration, checked against the articles’ pre-emption clauses, approved by the board, and recorded — new share certificates endorsed and the register of members updated. No MCA form files at transfer time; the change surfaces in the next MGT-7A, which is why sloppy transfers hide for years and then explode during due diligence.

We paper the whole chain, including the pricing rules that matter when transfers aren’t at face value — Section 56(2)(x) on the buyer’s side and 50CA on the seller’s make below-fair-value transfers a tax event. Where valuation is needed, we coordinate it.
