As a normal practice form 7 B is filed for transfer of shares. my query is if the form 7 B is lost then the section 108 (1) gives the privilege to get a declaration with the respective stamp duty affixed from the parties that the form has been lost and to consider the transfer.
could any one provide me the format of that declaration that can be used in the place of form 7 B.

Sec 108 (1) provides the privilege only incase of lost of SHARE CERTIFICATE, one should file Indemnity Bond by affixing stamp duty on it; following is the general format of Indemnity bond required in such case;

Thank you sir. I find that the indemnity bond is for duplicate share certificate however it would be great full if any one could share with me the declaration for lost of share transfer form 7 B.

As per my opinion, if signed transfer deed has been lost, then one should affix the same stamp on simple written application (act as a declaration) to BOD. In such case the board may register the transfer on such terms of indemnity as it thinks fit. Answer of other experts are welcome.
