In a private Company there was a transfer of shares in July 2012. The transfer deed was unstamped and the company affected the transfer of shares in the name of the transferee. the company has only two shareholders.

What are the consequences? Can this transfer deed be stamped/ franked now, so that the transfer be valid from July 2012 itself? What is the period of Validity of transfer deed of a private company?

Thanks
