PROCEDURE FOR EXTENSION OF VALIDITY OF TRANSFER DEED
Where the validity period of an instrument of transfer has expired, the holder may make an application in Form 7C to the Registrar of Companies requesting for extension in the validity. The fee for such application is Rs.50 where the nominal value of the shares is upto Rs. 5,000 and the fee is Rs. 100 where the value exceeds Rs. 5000. The application shall be made to the Registrar of Companies, where the registered office of the Company is situated or under whose jurisdiction the transferor or transferee resides. The Registrar on satisfaction of the cause shown in the application shall extend the validity for a period of 30 days from the date of approval by the Registrar. It should be noted that further extension will not be provided by the Registrar. Therefore, the transfer deed should be lodged with the company within the extended period only.
