Please find below general procedure for transmission of shares
(i) The survivors in case of joint holding can get the shares transmitted in their names by production of the death certificate of the deceased holder of shares. The company records the particulars of the death certificate and a reference number of recording entry is given to the shareholder so as to enable him to quote such number in all future correspondence with the company.
(ii) If a member of a company dies and he leaves after him a will or letter of administration then the survivors shall get a copy of 'will' certified under the seal of a Court of competent jurisdiction. The certified copy of the will is called a 'probate' and it shall be forwarded to the company.
(iii) If a member of a company dies without leaving a will, then succession certificate issued by a Court of competent jurisdiction shall be submitted to the company.
(iv) In case a member of a company becomes bankrupt, the official receiver shall produce documentary evidence of his appointment from a competent Court.
Right to dividend, rights shares and bonus shares to legal representative shall be kept in abeyance
