Share Transfer

Move equity between people — clean paper trail, due-diligence-ready.

Online across Kerala & all India 3–7 working days

Founder exits, new partners, family transfers, secondary sales — shares move via deeds, board approval and register updates. Sloppy transfers surface during due diligence (when the buyer's lawyer asks for the share register) and can derail acquisitions. We do them right the first time.

Questions, answered

Why does stamp duty matter so much?
0.25% sounds small until the consideration is high. ₹1 crore transfer = ₹25,000 stamp duty. Skip it and the SH-4 deed is invalid for due diligence — buyers walk away. We always pay it correctly and keep the e-stamp receipt.
Do I need RBI approval for foreign share transfer?
Within the automatic route, you file within 60 days — no prior approval. Government route (defence, etc.) needs approval first. We confirm route in the discovery call.
What's BEN-2 and when does it apply?
BEN-2 declares the Significant Beneficial Owner — typically anyone holding ≥10% through layered entities. If the corporate transfer changes the beneficial owner, BEN-2 is filed within 30 days. Included in the Corporate Entity tier and above.
