So, today we will discuss who are share transfer agents & what do they do.

In today’s fast-paced investment environment, mutual fund investors, publicly traded companies and financial institutions have – multiple investors who conduct a number of transactions per day such that involves: 

• buying, 
• selling or 
• exchanging units and 
• require accurate records or information regarding the same.

It is imperative that stocks and the stock market play a big role in the world of economics. This brings us to the institutions or authorities that are responsible for keeping records of these transactions to help banks, corporates and financial institutions monitor investments and suggest policies to improve or maximize the investment with the least possible risk. Registrars and share transfer agents are authorized bodies responsible for maintaining financial balance by keeping accurate records of transactions made by an investor.

SHARE TRANSFER AGENT

As per Section 65(95a) of Finance Act, 1994 as amended, Share transfer agent means any person who maintains the record of holders of securities and deals with all matters connected with the transfer or redemption of securities or activities incidental thereto. 

So, a “share transfer agent” is a representative who, on behalf of a legal entity, keeps records of holders of securities issued by the legal entity and deals with the processes of transfer and redemption of securities. 

This is a representative appointed by the company to keep records of the owners of securities. The main function of a transfer agent is: 

• To issue & cancel certificates that reflect changes in ownership of the entity’s securities
• To act as an intermediary for the listed entity.

• To transfer securities and do the record keeping for investors
• Inform investors about new fund offers
• Approval of certificates/allotments/call payments.
• Transfer, consolidation, division of securities.
• Sending transferred securities and securities accepted for transfer / consolidation / distribution etc. directly to investors.
• Cancel the name and certificate of the shareholder who sold the securities shares and replace them with a new shareholder.

SECURITIES

Share Transfer Agents, as we have read above so far, deal a lot with securities. Now, we will understand the what are securities and what do they include.

• Shares, scrips, bonds, stocks, debentures, or anything related thereto
• Derivatives
• Issuance of units or any such instrument by an investment scheme to the investors of such schemes
• Issue of unit certificates or any such instrument to investors under any mutual fund scheme
• Certificate of security under the “Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Securities Enforcement Act, 2002”
• Government securities: shares or bonds
• Other instruments declared as securities by the Central Government
• Any rights or interests in securities
