First of all to increse capital u dont sell shares u allot them to persons who have applied for them. Secondly the company's Articles of Asociation should allow the company to buy back its own shares, if no such clause is there u will have to get it inserted in the AoA. The shares once issued to a shareholder is like any comodity in the market that can be bought and sold for its price, negotiate with the person whose shares u intend to purchase and submit the Share Certificates along with Share Transfer Form to the Comnpany for recording the transfer This way the paid up capital will not get reduced If u wish to reduce the capital the procedure is different
