If you can get the petition transferred to company C, then it is possible. You will need a copy of the approval notice to initiate the transfer.

Hi ,

Currently I m on L1 B with 4 years with Company A in US and got my new H1B approved on 2015 valid till Nov 2017(Oct1st Effective) with Company B .Due to some reasons I m going back to India next week and continue with Company A .
But my Plans are to Transfer H1B approved petition to Company C.From above question you said it s possible to Transfer. Thanks for the Answer.

Nope. It doesn't work that way. To get a fresh 6 years period on H1B, you should stay out of U.S for 365 days and then file a new H1B petition that is subjected to CAP.
