Quick Summary
Yes, you can transfer shares as a gift without any payment. For shares held in demat form, the process involves submitting a delivery instruction slip to your depository participant with the recipient's details. If your shares are in physical form, you'll need to complete and sign a share transfer deed (Form SH 4). No stamp duty is payable on gifted securities, and the transfer is finalised once registered in the transferee's name.
