What is a Share Transfer & Transmission of a Company?

Share transfer is a voluntary agreement by a shareholder to transfer shares to a person willingly, usually employed between private limited companies for business restructuring, investors attraction, or departure from erstwhile partners.
Share transmission, however, is an involuntary act—most commonly the result of death, succession, or insolvency—where legal ownership of shares stands transferred to the nominee or legal successor of the deceased shareholder.
Both of them fall under the purview of the Companies Act, 2013 and have to follow due process of law and timely filing with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).d in the company’s legal documents.
