For transferring debentures

For transferring debentures, a standard format can be used as the instrument of transfer:

1
Get the Articles of Association in case of shares, trust deed in the case of debentures and transfer deed registered either by the transferor and the transferee or on their behalf in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
2
According to Indian Stamp Act and stamp duty notification in force in the state concerned, the transfer deed should need to have stamps. The present stamp duty rate for transfer of share is 25 paise for every one hundred rupees of the value of the share or part thereof. That means for shares valued Rs. 1050, the stamp duty will be Rs. 2.75.
3
Check that the stamp affixed on the transfer deed is cancelled at the time of or before the signing of the transfer deed.
4
A person who gives his signature, name and address as approval for transfer must see the transferor and the transferee sign the share/debentures transfer deed in person.

Registration Rules

1
The relevant share/debenture certificate or allotment letter with the transfer deed must be attached and sent to the company.

Affix the same value stamp on a written application if signed transfer deed has been lost. In this case, the board may register the transfer on specific terms of indemnity as it thinks fit.
4
If the shares of the company are listed in a recognized stock exchange, then the company cannot charge any fee for registration of transfers of shares and debentures.
