21 March 2012 What will be the legal consequences when we transfer shares from one SH to other & transfer is taking place below the price on which originally shares were alloted i.e. below the market price.

21 March 2012 Valuation of share for the purpose of transfer of shares of a private company

Normally Articles of a private company contain provisions in this regard and provides that the shares are to be sold at a fair price determined by directors or the company's auditors.

In fact it is the discretion of shareholder to sold his shares at his desired price. This price may be Re. 1. However it is easily possible in case of a public company. But in case of a private company directors may compel the shareholder to transfer shares at a fair price determined by directors or the company's auditors. Reason being in a private company shares are not freely transferable.
