  • Section 3(1)(iii)(a) provides that a private company must restrict the right to transfer its shares by its Articles.  This provision does not prohibit the right to transfer shares absolutely but ensures that such transfer of shares is made in accordance with the conditions and restrictions laid down in the Articles of the private company.  One of the conditions is that such transfer should not result in the increase of members beyond fifty, excluding present and past employees.  There may be other conditions in the Articles which are to be strictly followed besides those contained in section 108 while transferring the shares of a private company.
