Franking of Share Certificate

Franking of Share Certificate – An Overview

Franking of Share Certificate is the process of paying and endorsing the applicable stamp duty on the issue or transfer of physical share certificates in accordance with the applicable stamp laws. Franking serves as proof that the prescribed stamp duty has been duly paid, making the share certificate legally valid and admissible as evidence.

Depending on the applicable laws and the state in which the transaction takes place, stamp duty may be paid through franking, e-stamping, or other approved modes. Companies issuing or transferring physical share certificates must ensure compliance with the relevant stamp duty provisions to avoid penalties and legal complications.

Proper franking of share certificates helps maintain statutory compliance, validates share ownership records, and facilitates future corporate transactions such as investments, due diligence, mergers, acquisitions, and audits.
