It requires adherence to legal and regulatory guidelines to ensure validity. Our team in Delhi ensures that all share transfers comply with the Companies Act and relevant regulations, making sure your business stays compliant.

Types of Share Transfer

• Voluntary Transfer: Initiated by the shareholder, usually in cases of sale or gifting of shares. This type of transfer is common among businesses in Delhi that are looking to raise capital or restructure their ownership.
