Board Resolution — Share Transfer Approval & Registration

A blank, fillable board resolution approving a share transfer and authorising the register of members to be updated, with a blank field for the stamp duty amount at the correct 0.015% rate, not the stale 0.25% figure still circulating. This resolution is the full internal-approval step; there's no separate MCA e-form for the transfer itself, see our share transfer (SH-4) service for the SH-4 instrument and stamp duty facilitation.
