What is Transmission of Shares?
What is Evidence of Succession?
Important Note: Such a legal Representative is however not the member of the Company but the legal owner of the Shares. But he may apply to be registered as a member.
ON THE CONTRARY,
Instead of registered as a member, he may make transfer the shares as the deceased or insolvent member could have made.
Point to be noted: The Board of Directors also have the right to decline registration as they would have had in case of transfer of shares before death. But if Company refuses transmission, same remedies are available to legal representative as that in case of transfer, namely appeal to the Tribunal under section 58.
CASE LAW: Life Insurance Corporation of India v Bokaro & Ramgur Ltd.
It is not necessary to have instrument of Transfer executed for purpose of Transmission of shares.
Interpretation: Where title to the shares comes to vest in another person by operation of law, it is not necessary to submit transfer form.
Weather Transmission of shares will subject to any Liability?

Transmission in case of Joint Shareholding: Regulation 23 of Table F provides that on death of a member where he was joint shareholder, the survivors or survivor shall be the only persons recognized by the Company. The legal heirs of deceased member are not entitled to get registered as joint holder along with surviving holder.

Yes, As per Regulation 24 of Table F, A person entitled to a Share by the reason of death or insolvency of the holder shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantage to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Shares.
Important Note: The legal Representative of a deceased member shall not be entitled to exercise voting rights or other rights in a general meeting unless he is registered as a member in respect of the Shares.
