Calculate the stamp duty payable on transfer of shares (listed and unlisted) based on state-wise rates. Includes Form SH-4 requirements and process steps.
Stamp duty on share transfer in physical form is governed by the Indian Stamp Act 1899 and state amendments — the rate is generally 0.25% of consideration but varies by state. For demat transfers, stamp duty is collected centrally at 0.015% under the Indian Stamp Rules 2019.
Compliance: SH-4 (transfer deed) is the prescribed form, executed by transferor and transferee, attested by witness, with adequate stamping and the original share certificate enclosed. The transfer is recorded in the company's Register of Members and a fresh certificate is issued to the transferee.
