Procedure for transfer of shares of private company
Generally articles contain the detailed provisions as regards the procedure for transfer of shares. Usually following steps shall be followed by a private company to give effect to the transfer of shares:—
(i) Transferor should give a notice in writing for his intention to transfer his share to the company.
(ii) The company in turn should notify to other members as regards the availability of shares and the price at which such share would be available to them.
(iii) Such price is generally determined by the directors or the auditors of the company.
(iv) The company should also intimate to the members, the time limit within which they should communicate their option to purchase shares on transfer.
If none of the members comes forward to purchase shares then the shares can be transferred to an outsider and the company will have no option, other than to accept the transfer.
It is to be noted that any transfer of shares to an outsider without complying with the procedure as specified in the articles for effecting transfer of shares will not be operative against the company. Even in the case where the procedure prescribed by the articles was not followed and such failure was not due to any fault on the part of the selling shareholder, the transfer to an outsider was held not to be effective.
Valuation for consideration for transfer of shares of a private company
Usually, Articles of a private company provides that the shares are to be sold under pre-emption clause at a fair price determined by directors or the company's auditors. It may also be provided that the fair price would be certified by the company's auditors.
If the pre-emption clause requires that the shares are required to be offered to other members at a price certified by the directors or auditors, the Courts are not in a position to enquire into the correctness of valuation, unless there is evidence that valuation was not correctly made. If the person who made the valuation has acted negligently and failed to take into account all the necessary factors for arriving at the value of shares, in such case the transferor may sue for damages to the person who made the valuation for difference between the value of the share, as computed by the valuer, and the real value of shares.
The Company Law Board/Tribunal ordinarily do not interfere with the valuation made by experts. Therefore, if valuation is challenged then there must be sufficient evidence in support to show that valuation is improper.

Dear Hitesh,
The share transfer deed should be ‘duly stamped’. Presently, the stamp duty payable is @ 25 Ps per Rs 100 of consideration (and not on basis of face value of shares).
There is no stamp duty on transfer of shares or debentures in a depository scheme.

Yes Mohammed Ji….usually shares are transferred for cash…
I think for this no case law is required. However you may make a separate post and confirm from members…to remove your doubts.

Rule 8(3) of Unlisted Public Companies (Preferential Allotment) Rules 2003 as amended on 14.12.2011 reads as under:
"All monies payable on subscripttion of securities shall be paid through cheque or demand draft or other banking channels, but not by cash."
Technically there is difference between 'subscripttion' and 'purchase' and there seems to be no restriction on purchase of securities in cash in public company, though intention of the government is very clear to avoid cash transactions. Further, in case of private company there is no such restriction.
