Overview

Shareholding agreement for Qatar: what and why

A shareholders' agreement sets out the rights of investors and promoters. Authorities abroad, and foreign banks or joint venture partners, also ask for a certified shareholding pattern to see who owns the Indian company. Shareholders' agreements are executed by the company and its shareholders; the shareholding pattern or list is certified by a director or practising Company Secretary.

Setting up a branch, appointing a local agent or opening a bank account in the Middle East usually starts with a legalised set of company documents from India.

Authorities, banks and business partners in Qatar usually ask for a legalised shareholding agreement for foreign subsidiary or branch registration, beneficial ownership checks by banks or joint venture approvals.

A shareholding agreement issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Qatar in New Delhi.

After Qatar Embassy legalisation in New Delhi, Qatari authorities generally also want the document attested by Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs after arrival, which your Qatari partner arranges locally.

Process

The Qatar process for an Indian shareholding agreement

  1. Send us a scan first

    WhatsApp a scan of the shareholding agreement and tell us who in Qatar will receive it. We check it and reply with the steps, timeline and price.

  2. Notarisation

    A notary in India verifies the signature on the shareholding agreement or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

  3. Indian Chamber of Commerce

    The shareholding agreement is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, which checks your company's details and the signatory before stamping it.

  4. Ministry of External Affairs

    The MEA checks the chamber's signature and attests the shareholding agreement, which the Qatar Embassy requires before it will legalise it.

  5. Qatar Embassy legalisation

    The Embassy of Qatar in New Delhi adds its legalisation stamp. Your partner then completes MOFA attestation after arrival.

  6. Back to you

    The finished shareholding agreement is returned by tracked courier, or collected from our New Ashok Nagar office, ready for use in Qatar.
