A company have two directors having Equal Capital of 50,000 Each. Now they want to add two more person in Company by transferring their 50% shares to them without any consideration.Its a pvt Ltd Company & not listed. _- Is any Board Resolution to be passed - Form 7 B has to be filled or not??? - Stamp duty to be paid or not. - Attestation to be done or not??
It is to be noted that any transfer of shares to an outsider without complying with the procedure as specified in the articles for effecting transfer of shares will not be operative against the company. Even in the case where the procedure prescribed by the articles was not followed and such failure was not due to any fault on the part of the selling shareholder, the transfer to an outsider was held not to be effective. Transfer of shares without consent of holder of shares and without prior sanction of board of directors as required under articles of association of a private company concerned could not be held to be valid. [John Tinson Co. (P) Ltd. v Mrs. Surjeet Malhan (1997) 88 Comp Cas 750 (SC)].

Determination of valuation of shares for affixing stamps on the transfer deed In case shares are not quoted, the value of the shares for the purpose of stamp means the price that the shares would fetch at the time of transfer or consideration agreed, whichever is higher. [Union of India v Kulu Valley Transport Ltd. (1958) 28 Comp Cas 29 (Punj)]. In case if the shares are listed on stock exchange, the valuation will be determined on the basis of the quotations available on the stock exchange on the date of execution of transfer deed or the consideration paid which ever is higher. However, no transfer duty is applicable for transfer of shares in case of shares are in D-mat form.
Value of share transfer stamps to be affixed on the transfer deed
Stamp duty for transfer of shares is 25 paise for every Rs. 100 or part thereof of the value of shares as per Notification No. SO 130(E), dated 28-01-2004 issued by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, New Delhi.
