Share Transfer

Share Transfer in India

Introduction

Shares represent ownership in a company, and the ability to transfer shares allows shareholders to sell or gift their ownership to another person or entity.

In India, the transfer of shares is governed by the Companies Act, 2013 and the company’s Articles of Association (AOA). While public companies have free transferability of shares, private companies have certain restrictions to protect shareholder interests.
