Transfer of shares is a voluntary act where all joint shareholders agree to move ownership, usually through a sale or gift. Transmission of shares happens due to legal events like death or insolvency, where shares pass to surviving joint shareholders or nominees.

Transferring shares with joint shareholders typically involves submitting a signed deed by all joint holders, paying applicable stamp duties based on share value, and obtaining approval from the Board of Directors.

Yes, in joint shareholding, the rights of surviving shareholders generally take precedence over the claims of legal heirs, unless specific instructions state otherwise.
