Transfer of share
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRANSFER DEED AND TANSFER FORM (7B).
No. Section 108(1) of the Act states that nothing in section 108 shall prejudice any power of the company to register as holder of shares or debentures any person to whom the right to any shares in, or debentures of, the company has been transmitted by operation of law. It is not necessary to have any instrument of transfer executed for the purpose of transmission of shares.
Where title to the shares comes to vest in another person by operation of law, it is not necessary to submit transfer form. [Life Insurance Corpn. of India v Bokaro & Ramgur Ltd. (1966) 36 Comp Cas 490 (Del].
The procedure provided under sections 108 to 111 is not applicable to transmission of shares by order of a Court. [Hanuman Mills (P) Ltd., In re (1977) 47 Comp Cas 644 (All)].

Requirement of documents for transmission of shares:
Where title to shares comes to vest in another person by operation of law, it is not necessary to execute and submit transfer deed. A simple application to the company by a legal representative along with the following necessary evidences is sufficient:—
(i) Certified copy of death certificate;
(ii) Succession certificate;
(iii) Probate;
(iv) Specimen signature of the successor.
However, requirement of these certificates is not essential and depends on various circumstances of the case. Where a succession certificate has been granted in respect of shares, the company cannot insist on the production of probate or letters of administration; the certificate affords full indemnity to company. [Thenappa Chettiar v Indian Overseas Bank Ltd. (1943) 13 Comp Cas 202 (Mad)].
Since the transmission is by operation of law, neither consideration for transfer nor stamp duty is required on instruments for transmission.

In case of death, transmission of shares is done on the strength of succession and death certificate.

When the shares are gifted, form 7B will be filled in that case.
My query is whether stamp duty 0.25% will be paid on the form 7B on the basis of market value of shares since consideration is nil?

If you are making transfer of quoted shares as a gift then check whether any consideration is given by transferee or not. If consideration is nil then you will not required to pay stamp duty on such transfer. But gift deed must be registered with concerned authority. Without registered gift deed, company can not register the transfer same.
