Introduction of Registrar and Share Transfer Agent
Transfer of shares is a process in which the existing shares as issued by the Company are transferred from one person whether natural or artificial to another either by way of sale or gift. Shares are considered as a movable property, post reviewing the Articles of Association of the Company. As in case of Private limited companies the shares cannot be freely transferable while in case of Public Companies they can be transferred in the market easily.

The value of such shares can be decided based upon the formula / method mentioned in the Articles of Association. If the existing shareholders are not interested in buying then such shares can be freely offered to outsiders.

Ex: Suppose you have 5000 shares and you wish to transfer only 2000 shares. In this case the company will split the certificate in two parts i.e. one of 2000 and one of 3000 with a footnote that these certificates are issued in lieu of the original certificates.
