    Solution

    Section 47 of the Companies Act, 2013 deals with "Restriction on transfer of securities". The section provides that notwithstanding the provisions of the Constitution, no public company having a share capital shall register a transfer of shares in the company unless a duly stamped transfer deed is lodged with the company along with the certificate of title or other evidence of ownership. The section further provides that a company shall not register a transfer unless certain conditions are met, including proper documentation and the absence of stop transfer orders. Section 45 addresses types of shares, Section 46 addresses rights of shareholders, Sections 48-49 address transmission and transmission of shares, but Section 47 specifically prescribes transfer regulations.
