16 November 2012 Hi

Where title to shares comes to vest in another person by operation of law, it is not necessary to execute and submit transfer deed. A simple application to the company by a legal representative along with the following necessary evidences is sufficient:—

(i) Certified copy of death certificate;
(ii) Succession certificate;
(iii) Probate;
(iv) Specimen signature of the successor.

However, requirement of these certificates is not essential and depends on various circumstances of the case. Where a succession certificate has been granted in respect of shares, the company cannot insist on the production of probate or letters of administration; the certificate affords full indemnity to company. [Thenappa Chettiar v Indian Overseas Bank Ltd. (1943) 13 Comp Cas 202 (Mad)].


If you are NRI, you will submit the current residential address proof to the company. You just intimate to the RBI a letter of getting shares by way of transmission.
