Sub-division/consolidation in marketable
lots only



|58. | Transfer of shares in whatever lot should not be refused, though there would be no objection to the company refusing to split a share certificate into several scrips of any small denominations or to consider a proposal for transfer of shares comprised in a share certificate to several parties, involving such splitting, if on the face of it such splitting/transfer appears to be unreasonable or without a genuine need. The Company should not, therefore, refuse transfer of shares in violation of the Stock Exchange listing requirements on the ground that the number of shares to be transferred is less than any specified number.
