Share Transfer & Allotment

End-to-end management of share transfers, fresh allotments, rights issues, and private placements — with PAS-3, SH-4, and MGT-14 filings and stamp duty compliance.

What is Share Transfer & Allotment?

Share transfers and allotments are among the most common and consequential corporate transactions — whether you are onboarding a new investor, transferring shares between founders, implementing an ESOP, or restructuring the cap table. Each transaction must be executed in strict compliance with the Companies Act, the AOA, and applicable FEMA regulations.

AccentTax Consulting manages the complete share transaction lifecycle: board and shareholder resolutions, share certificates, SH-4 transfer deeds, PAS-3 allotment returns, stamp duty payment, and updating the Register of Members. We also handle FEMA compliance for transactions involving foreign investors.
