The Filingpoint transfer of ownership of shares is a legal procedure that allows shareholders to move their shares to other members or non-members. This is done for a number of reasons, such as the desire to raise capital, selling off some part of a company or even transferring ownership to family members. Share transfers are governed by both the law and the company's constitutional sdocuments or shareholders' agreement. The latter may impose some restrictions on the new shareholder's rights, obligations and duties.

Generally, the transfer of shares is settled through a stockbroker or depository participant. When an investor wants to transfer their shares from one Demat account to another, they submit a signed DIS (Delivery Instruction Slip) to their current broker. The broker then forwards this DIS request to the depositories who process it. The depositories then transfer the shares from the existing demat account to the new one. Investors need to pay a small fee for this service, which varies between brokers.

A share transfer form contains the details of the transferor and transferee, along with the number and type of shares being transferred. It also includes the agreed price. Depending on when the transfer is carried out, the transferor might be liable to pay tax, either short-term or long-term capital gains tax. Similarly, stamp duty might be applicable, which again varies by state. Moreover, the company might impose its pre-emption clause on the sale of shares. In such cases, a transfer of shares cannot be carried out unless other members agree to buy the shares proposed to be sold.
