If a shareholder holding shares in his sole name dies without leaving a will, how can his legal heir/s (either husband/wife/son/daughter) get the shares transmitted in their names?
A: This is Transmission of Shares. In such a situation it is very difficult to prove the ownership of estate of the deceased member. Following documents along with the share certificate(s) need to be submitted to the Company for transmitting the shares:-
a. Request for transmission in writing
b. Certified copy of the Death certificate
c. Certified copy of any one of the following: 1. Copy of the Probate obtained from the court, 2. Letter of Administration from court, if applicable 3. Succession Certificate, if applicable And 4. Title Claim, if required 5. No Objection from the other legal heirs, if any. Under special circumstances, the organization may consider transmission of shares without receiving of any of the documents mentioned at 'C' above on receipt of an Indemnity Bond on stamp paper of Rs. 200 and an Affidavit on stamp paper of Rs. 20.
