Share Allotment & Transfers

Professional handling of share allotment to new shareholders and inter-shareholder share transfers.

Quick Navigation

Share allotment and share transfer are the two main ways company ownership changes hands. Share allotment happens when the company issues new shares, increasing total share count. Share transfer happens when an existing shareholder sells or gives shares to someone else. Both types of transactions must be documented with board resolutions, share certificates, and updated Register of Members entries. The company must file with MCA within 15 to 30 days of the transaction. Failing to follow the correct procedure can make the transaction legally invalid and create costly problems during future fundraising audits.

Who Needs This?

This service is for Private Limited Companies that are bringing in new investors, onboarding co-founders with equity, issuing ESOPs to employees, or handling the sale of shares between existing shareholders. Any time ownership of a company changes hands, whether through new share issuance or existing share transfers, the transaction must be properly documented with board resolutions, share certificates, and timely MCA filings. This service ensures every equity transaction is cleanly executed, legally binding, and investor-ready.

Key Benefits of Share Allotment & Transfers

01

Proper share capital structure

We structure your share allotment to reflect accurate ownership percentages, proper valuation basis, and compliance with your Articles of Association. A properly structured cap table prevents ownership disputes and supports clean equity rounds in future fundraising.

02

Clean shareholder records with MCA

Every allotment and transfer is filed with MCA through Form PAS-3 or SH-4 as applicable, ensuring the government register perfectly matches your company's actual ownership structure. This is critical for passing investor due diligence without complications.

03

Investment documentation ready

We prepare a complete documentation package for every equity transaction, including the board resolution approving the allotment, the allotment letter, share certificate, and updated Register of Members extracts, ensuring your records are audit-ready from day one.

04

Compliance with share regulations

Share transactions that do not follow the correct procedure, including Article of Association restrictions like Right of First Refusal, can be legally challenged and declared void. We ensure every transaction follows the precise procedural requirements under the Companies Act 2013.

05

Professional share certificates

We generate properly formatted share certificates under the company seal, signed by authorized directors, and with correct stamp duty as required by the state. Physical or digital share certificates are delivered within the statutory timeline of 60 days from allotment.
