There are various cases where a domain name may not be transferable to another Registrar. This could happen in the following circumstances:
1. Domain name is less than 90 days old: If the domain name you are trying to Transfer was registered less than 90 days ago, the request will get rejected by the Registry itself. Ie a newly registered domain or a domain you have just renwed.
2. Domain name has been Transferred less than 90 days ago: A domain name can not be transferred to another Registrar within 90 days of a previous Transfer.
Example:
A domain name can not be transferred from Registrar B to Registrar C, if it has been transferred to Registrar B from Registrar A within the last 60 days.3.
