Hi, this is with regards to transfer of 1 share held by a nominee shareholder. We have a Pvt Ltd Co and the paid up capital shares is held entirely by a body coroporate which is a foreign company. However, 1 share was given to Indian director as a nominee. Now the body corporate wants to transfer the 1 share in its name. What is the procedure to do this as share certificate was never issued to the nominee shareholder as the whole paid up capital share certificate is in the name of the entity.
