1. What is meant by a Debenture?

Ans. Debenture The word ‘Debenture’ has been derived from a Latin word ‘debere’ which means to borrow. Debenture is a written instrument acknowledging a debt under the common seal of the company. It contains a contract for repayment of principal after a specified period or at intervals or at the option of the company and for payment of interest at a fixed rate payable usually either half-yearly or yearly on fixed dates. As per section 2(30) of the companies Act, 2013 : ”Debenture includes debenture stock, bonds and any other instrument of the company evidencing a debt, whether constituting a change on the assets of the company or not.”

2. What does a Bearer Debenture mean?

to any such interest.

1. Explain the different types of debentures?

Ans. Debenture: The word ‘Debenture’ has been derived from a Latin ward ‘Debere’ which means to borrow. Debenture is a written instrument acknowledging a debt under the common seal of the company.

There are various types of Debentures:

(i) From Security Point of View: From security point of view debentures can be classified into two broad categories naked or simple debentures and Mortgaged debentures.

(a) Naked or Simple Debentures: Naked or Simple Debentures are those debentures which do not carry any security in respect of payment of interest or repayment of the principal. The general solvency of the company is the only security for the holders of simple debentures.

(b) Mortgaged Debentures: Mortgaged Debentures are the debentures which are secured by a charge on the asset or properties of the company. The debenture holders have the right to recover their principal amount as well as unpaid interest out of the assets mortgaged by the company.

(ii) From Permanence Point of View: The debentures may be Redeemable or Irredeemable debentures.

(a) Redeemable Debentures: Redeemable debentures provide for the payment of principal amount on the expiry of certain period. Redeemable debentures can be reissued even after they have been redeemed until they have been cancelled.

(b) Irredeemable Debentures: Irredeemable Debentures are retained as a part of the permanent capital structure during the life time of the company. Such debt becomes due for payment only when the company goes into liquidation or when the payment of interest is not made regularly.

(iii) From Recording Point of View: From recording point of view debentures can be classified into two categories bearer and registered debentures.

(a) Bearer Debentures: Name and addresses of the holders of such debentures are not recorded in the company and these debentures are transferable by mere delivery. Payment of principal and interest is mode to the bearer of such debentures.

(b) Registered Debentures: Registered debentures are made out in the name of a particular person who is registered by the company as a holder and are transferable in the same way as shares.

(b) Non-Convertible Debentures: Non-convertible debentures are not convertible into equity or preference shares afterwards.

2. Distinguish between a debenture and a share. Why debenture is known as loan capital? Explain.

Ans. The following are the difference between Shares and Debentures:

Basis of Difference Shares Debentures
Nature Share holders are the owners of the company. Debenture holders are creditors of the company.
Voting Rights Share holders have the voting rights. Debenture holders do not have any voting rights.
Returns Share holders are entitled for returns in the form of dividend which may vary from year to year. Debenture holders are entitled for returns in the form of interest which is fixed.
Conversion Shares cannot be converted into debentures. Debentures can be converted into shares.
Obligations of Return Dividend is appropriation of profit. Dividend will not be paid if losses are incurred by the company. Interest is changed against profit, interest is payable even if there is no profit.
Risk Investment in Shares is unsecured. If debentures are secured against asset. They are less risky as the risk involved is secured against the assets.
Issue at discount Shares cannot be issued at discount. There are no such restrictions for issuing debentures on discount.
Payment at Liquidation Payment to the share holders is made after settlement of all external liabilities i.e., after debenture holders. Payment to the debenture holders is made before the share holders.

The issuance of debentures involves taking on long-term debt. Debentures are typically issued by businesses to obtain long-term borrowings necessary to meet their long-term goals and expand. Interest is also due on the principal amount of thd debenture, just like the owner’s capital. According to the Income Tax Act, the company’s expense for the interest paid is debuctible. Debentures are therefore also referred to as loan capital due of their long redemption periods.

3. Describe the meaning of ‘Debenture Issued as Collateral Securities’. What accounting treatment is given to the issue of debentures in the books of accounts?

Ans. When a company takes a loan, it has to give some asset as primary security and some as collateral security, it may provide collalteral security by giving debentures to the party from whom loan is taken. If on the due date principal is paid back by the Company and interest is also paid, the loan-giver will return the debentures to the Company and then they will be cancelled by the Company. If the Company makes a default, the bank may either keep the debenture and become debenture-holder or sell them and realise money. This type of issue by the Company is called Issue of Debenture as Collateral Security.

When debentures are issued by the company, they are not really alive and no accounting entry is made in the books of the Company for it. Only a note is given in the balance sheet for it as under.

Liabilities Amt (₹) Assets Amt. (₹)
Loan (Secured by the issued of Debentures of ₹ ........ As Collateral Security.
Debentures (In addition to these debentures debentures of ₹ …… has been issued as Collateral Security).

If an accounting record for these debentures is to be made Debentures Suspense A/c is debited and debentures A/c is credited, debentures are shown in the liability side and balance of debentures Suspense A/c is shown in the assets side of the Balance Sheet. When debt is paid off by the Company, Debentures A/c is debited and Debentures Suspense A/c is credited.

5. Differentiate between redemption of debentures out of capital and out of profits.

Ans. Redemption of Debentures out of Capital: When no profits are set aside for redemption of debentures it is called redemption out of capital. In such a case no profits are transferred to Debenture Redemption Reserve.

In view of section 71(4) of the companies Act 2013 and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) guidelines specifies a category of companies requiring creation of Debenture Redemption Reserve equivalent to atleast 10% of the amount of debentures issued before redemption commences, it is not possible for such specified componies to redeem debentures purely out of capital.

Redemption of Debentures out of Profit: Redemption out of profits means that an amount equal to debentures issued (i.e., 100% of the amount of debentures) is transferred from surplus in statement of profit and loss to a newly opened account named. Debenture Redemption Reserve Account. It is called redemption of profits because the transfer of profit to Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR) reduces the amount of profit available for dividend.

6. Explain the guidelines of SEBI for creating Debenture Redemption Reserve.

Ans. SEBI guidelines for redemption of debenture are:

(i) The creation of Debenture Redemption Reserve (i.e., DRR) is obligatory only for non-convertible debenture and portion of partly convertible debentures.

(ii) A company shall create DRR equivalent to atleast 10% of the amount of debentures issued before starting of the redemption of debenture.

Hence a company cannot redeem its debentures purely out of capital. Atleast 10% of debentures issued must be redeemed out of profits by creating a “Debenture Redemption Reserve” and the balance of debentures issued may be redeemed out of profits or out of capital.

Exemptions to the rule of creating DRR: Following categories of companies are exempted from creating DRR:

  1. All India Fiancial Institutions (AIFIs) regulated by Reserve Bank of India.
  2. Other Financial Institutional regulated by RBI.
  3. Banking Companies for both Public as well as privately placed debentures and
  4. Housing Financial Companies registered with the National Housing Bank.

7. Describe the steps for creating Sinking Fund for redemption of debentures.

Ans. The steps involved in creation of Sinking Fund on redemption of Debenture are:

(i) Calculate the amount of profit to be set-aside annually with the help of sinking fund table.

(ii) Set aside the amount of profit at the end of each year and credit to Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR) Account.

(iii) Purchase the investments of value equal to 15% of face value of debenture to be redeemed upto 30th April before redemption and debit Debenture Redemption Fund Investment (DRFI) Account.

(iv) Receive interest on investment at the end of each subsequent year.

(v) Encash the investment at the end of the year of redemption.

(vi) Make payment to debenture holders.

(vii) Transfer Debenture Redemption Reserve A/c balance to General Reserve.

8. Can a company purchase its own debentures in the open market? Explain.

Ans. Yes, a company, if authorised by its Articles of Association, can purchase its own debentures in the open market. The main purposes of such purchase may be as follows:

(i) A company may purchase its own debenture for immediate cancellation for reducing the debenture liability especially in case when the interest rate on its debenture is higher than the market rate of interest.

(ii) A company may also purchase its own debentures with the motive of investment and sell them at higher price in future and thereby earn profit.

When a company purchase its own debenture,in the open market it can happen in either of the two ways first debentures may be purchased at premium for cancellation and debenture may be purchase at discount for cancellation. The following will be the accounting treatment in both situation.

(i) If Debentures are Purchased at Discount for Cancellation: When the company purchase its own debentures at discount for cancellation, then the following Journal entries are recorded.

10. What is meant by conversion of debentures? Describe the method of such a conversion.

Ans. The debentures can also be redeemed by converting them into shares or new debentures. If debenture holders find that the offer is beneficial to them they may convert his/her debentures into shares or new debentures after the expiry of a specified period of time, then this whole process is known as redemption of debentures by conversion.

It is worth mentioning here that in such a case no Debenture Redemption Reserve is required because no funds are required for redemption.

If a debenture holder exercises the conversion option, then the issue price of shares must be equal to or less than the amount actually received from debentures. The accounting treatment in that case will be as follows:
