    • A share certificate is a written document issued by a company, serving as evidence that a person named in the certificate owns a specific number of shares in the company. According to the Companies Act, companies are required to issue share certificates post their incorporation to formally recognize shareholders.

      Payment and Collection of Stamp Duty The mechanism for the payment of stamp duty on dematerialized (demat) securities has undergone significant changes. Now, stamp duty is collected by stock exchanges, depositories, or clearing corporations and then remitted to the accounts of the respective State Governments.

      Rate of Stamp Duty As per the Indian Stamp (Collection of Stamp Duty through Stock Exchanges, Clearing Corporations, and Depositories) Rules, 2019, effective from July 1, 2020, the rate of stamp duty on the issue of share certificates is 0.005% for all states in India. The rate for the transfer of both demat and physical shares is 0.015% on the total consideration for all states in India.

      Time Limit for Issuance of Share Certificates After the incorporation of a company, share certificates must be issued within two months from the incorporation date. For additional shares allotted to new or existing shareholders, the share certificates should be issued within two months from the allotment date.

      Stamping of Shares

      What is Stamping of Shares? Stamping is a tax on documents executed in India. As share certificates are considered instruments under the Indian Stamp Act, they must bear the necessary stamp duty to provide legality to the document.

      Why is Stamping Required? Stamping ensures the legality of the share certificate and confirms compliance with government specifications. The stamp duty must be paid first at the time of incorporation for certificates issued to subscribers and subsequently for every further allotment of shares.

      Time Frame for Stamping Stamp duty on share certificates must be paid within 30 days of issuance, as stipulated by the Indian Stamp Act.

      Penalties for Non-Payment Failure to pay the stamp duty on share certificates can result in a penalty imposed by the superintendent (SDM), amounting to ten times the original stamp duty. If an application for stamping is filed beyond the 30-day limit, the matter will be called for a hearing.

      Conclusion

      The issuance and stamping of share certificates are crucial steps in maintaining compliance with legal requirements in India. They not only validate the ownership of shares but also ensure the legality and authenticity of share transactions. Companies must adhere to the specified time frames and stamp duty regulations to avoid substantial penalties and legal complications.
