Dear All,

In case of transfer of shares of unlisted companies to British Citizen, is it necessary to get RBI and ROC approval? Could you please give me an idea which sections of which Acts we should draw attention to?

Please let me know. Most grateful to all responses.

Thanks in advance

Dear GK,

In case of trnsfer of shares of an unlisted Indian Company from a resident to non resident the provissions of Section 108 would be applicable. As far as the approval of the RBI is concerned provisions of RBI/2007-2008/18, Master Circular No.02/2007-08 would be applicable. I am attaching the file hereith, refer to page 13 of the attached file.
