Terms of repayment of the principal sum and payment of interest are given in each debenture certificate. It is usual to “prefix debenture” with the rate of interest. The debenture certificate usually states that the sum borrowed will be repaid by the company on or before a certain date and precise details of the security are given to debenture holder.
Question 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?
Answer:
Issue of Debentures as a Collateral Securities—
When a company takes a loan from a bank or any other party and gives some additional security in shape of debentures, the debentures are said to be issued as collateral security. In such a case, lender has the absolute right over the debentures unless and until the loan is repaid.
On repayment of the loan, the lender is legally bond to release the debenture fort with. In case the loan is not repaid by the company on the due date, the lender has the right to retain these debenture and realise them. The holder of such debentures is entitled to interest only on the amount of loan, but not on the debentures. Debentures issued as a collateral security can be dealt with in two ways in the books.
(i) No accounting entry is required to be shown in the books at the time of issue of such debentures, but a foot note to the fact that loan has been secured by the issue of debentures is appended.
This is done by stating the facts along with the loan, as shown below :
(ii) If it is desired that such an issue of debentures is to be recorded in the books, the following entries are recorded :
(a) On issue of Debentures as Collateral Security
Debentures Suspense A/c — Dr.
To Debentures A/c
(b) On repayment of the loan
Debentures A/c — Dr.
To Debentures Suspense A/c
The net effect of the above two entries is nil.
Debenture suspense account appears on the assets side of the Balance Sheet under the heading “Miscellaneous Expenditure” while debenture account appears on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet before the repayment of the loan. Balance Sheet shows these items as under.
Question 4.
How is ‘Discount on Issue of Debenture’ treated in the books of accounts? How will you deal with the ‘discount on issue of debentures’ when the debentures are to be redeemed in instalments?
Answer:
When debentures are issued at a price less than its nominal (face) value and/or debentures are redeemed at a price more than its nominal value, there arises a loss/discount on issue of debenture.
It is prudent for the company to write off discount/loss on issue of debentures which is in the nature of capital loss or a fictitious assets. A company is allowed to write it off against capital profit or capital reserve or securities premium account. If there are no capital profits or capital reserves, it should be treated as deferred revenue expenditure and therefore, should be written off against the revenue profits during the life of debentures.
When it is decided by the company to write off discount/loss on issue of debentures against the revenue profits, it can be done in two ways :
(a) Fixed Instalment Method, and
(b) Fluctuating Instalment Method.
Fixed Instalment Method—Under this method, total discount or loss is spread over the life of debentures equally. This method is to be applied when debentures are redeemed at the expiry of fixed period. This method spreads the burden of loss equally over the years. Thus, Amount of Loss or Discount to be written off annually Total Discount/Loss Life of the Debenture(in years).
\(=\frac{\text { Total Discount/Loss }}{\text { Life of the Debenture(in years) }}\)
Fluctuating Instalment Method—Under this method, the total discount is written off in the proportion of debenture debt outstanding during the year, i.e., in the proportion of benefit received out of money collected by issuing debentures. This method is used when debentures are redeemed every year by serving a notice and by drawing a lot. This method is also known as Reducing Instalment Method.
Question 5.
Explain the different terms for the issue of debentures with reference to their redemption.
Answer:
A company may issue debentures at different terms. The issue can be made at par, at a premium or at a discount, the redemption of debentures can also be made at par, at a premium or at a discount. Combining various terms of issue and redemption of debentures, there may be the following six possibilities.
Case No. | Terms of Issue | Terms of Redemption |
1. | Issued at Par | Redemption at Par |
2. | Issued at Discount | Redemption at Par |
3. | Issued at Premium | Redemption at Par |
4. | Issued at Par | Redemption at Premium |
5. | Issued at Discount | Redemption at Premium |
6. . | Issued at Premium | Redemption at Premium |
Case No. 1 : Issue at Par and Redemption at Par – In this case company can issue the debentures at their face value and to redeem them at their face value. In this case, the company is neither losing nor gaining either on issue or redemption of debentures.
Case No. 2 : Issue at Discount and Redemption at Par – Debentures issued at discount and repayable at par refer to those debentures which are issued below the face value but redeemed at the face value of debentures.
Case No. 3. Issue at Premium and Redemption at Par – It refer to the debenture which are issued at more than the face value and redeemed at the face value of the debentures. In this case, the company gains at the time of issue only.
Case No. 4 : Issue at Par and Redemption at Premium – It refer to those debentures which are issued at the face value but are redeemed at the price higher than the face value. In this case, there will be no loss at the time of issue, but there will be loss on the redemption of debentures.
Case No. 5 Issue at Discount and Redemption at Premium—It refers to those debentures which are issued at below the face value and redeemed at a price higher than the face value of debentures. In this case the company loses at both the times at the time of issue and at the time of repayment.
Question 6.
Differentiate between redemption of debentures out of capital and out of profits.
Answer:
Redemption of Debentures out of Capital – In this case, profits of the company are not utilised for the redemption of debentures, so the assets of the company are reduced by the amount paid.
It is presumed that the company has sufficient funds to redeem the debentures. Since the profits are not utilised to replace the debentures, debentures are said to redeemed out of capital. This would seriously affect the working capital of the company.
Redemption of Debentures out of Profits—It means the amount equal to that utilised for repayment to debenfure holders is transferred from Profit and Loss Appropriation A/c to a newly opened A/c called ‘Debenture Redemption Reserve A/c’.
(It is mandatory to set up ‘Debenture Redemption Reserve A/c. As per SEBI Guideline, an ” amount equal to 50% of the debenture issue should be transferred to DRR).
Thus, this reduces the balance of profits. It is called redemption out of profit because it reduces the amount of profits available for dividend.
Question 7.
Explain the guidelines of SEBI for creating Debentures Redemption Reserve.
Answer:
SEBI’s Guidelines—Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has provided some guidelines for redemption of debentures. The focal points of these guidelines are :
1. Every company shall create Debenture Redemption Reserve in case of issue of debenture redeemable after a period of more than 18 months from the date of issue.
2. The creation of Debenture Redemption Reserve is obligatory only for non convertible debenture and non convertible portion of partly convertible debentures.
3. A company shall create Debenture Redemption Reserve equivalent to at least 50% of the amount of debenture issue before starting the redemption of debenture.
4. Withdrawal from Debenture Redemption Reserve is permissible only after 10% of the debenture liability has already been reduced by the company.
Exemption :
SEBI guidelines would not apply under the following situations:
(a) Infrastructure company (a company wholly engaged in the business of developing, maintaining and operating infrastructure facilites)
(b) A company issuing debentures with a maturity period of not more than 18 months.
Clarification regarding Debentures Redemption Reserve – The Department of Company Affairs, Government of India, vide their circular No. 9/2002, dated 18.04.2002 has issued the following clarifications regarding creation of Debenture Redemption Reserve.
(DRR) —
a. No DRR is required for debentures issued by All India Financial Institutions, by RBI and, Banking Companies .for both public as well as privately placed debentures.
b. No DRR is required in case of privately placed debentures.
c. Section 117c will apply to debentures issued and pending to be redeemed and, therefore, DRR will also be created for debentures issued prior to 13.12.2000 and pending redemption.
d. Section 117c will apply to non-convertible portion of debentures issued whether they are fully or partly paid.
Question 8.
Describe the steps for creating Sinking Fund for redemption of debentures.
Answer:
Sinking Fund Method for Redemption of Debentures—
The following steps involved in the working of Sinking Fund Method :
1. Calculate the amount of profit to be set aside with the help of Sinking Fund Table.
2. Set aside the amount of profit at the end of each year.
3. Purchase the Investments at the end of each year (except last year)
4. Receive the interest on investments at the end of each year.
5. Repeat Step 2 including interest for each year, Repeat Step 3 for each year except last year, repeat Step 4 for each year.
6. Realise the investments in the year of redemption.
7. Transfer profit/loss on sale of Investment to Debenture Redemption Fund Account.
8. Make due the amount payable to Debenture-holders.
9. Make payment to Debenture-holders
10. Transfer the balance left in Debenture Redemption Fund Account to General Reserve if all the debentures have been redeemed.
Or
Transfer the nominal value of the debentures redeemed to Debenture Redemption Reserve if a certain proportion of debentures is redeemed.
The amount required for the redemption of debentures is generally large and the date of redemption is known to the company. Thus, it is prudent for a company to make arrangements to ensure the availability of adequate funds for the redemption of debenture at the end of the stipulated period for which debentures are issued. Hence, it is better for the company to set aside every year a part of divisible profits and to invest the same outside the business in marketable securities.
This is done by creating a Sinking Fund. The company adopts the method of Debenture Redemption Sinking Fund. An appropriate amount calculated by referring to Sinking Fund Factors, depending upon the interest rate on investments and the number of years for which investments are made, is set aside.
Debenture Redemption Sinking Fund A/c will be created every year to provide means for the redemption of debentures. The company set aside every year a certain sum of money out of its profits and invests the same along with interest that may be earned on investment. The investment are sold when debentures fall due for redemption. The amount available from the sale of investment is utilized for redemption of debentures.
Question 9.
Can a company purchase its own debentures in the open market? Explain.
Answer:
Redemption by Purchase in the Open Market—A
company, if authorised by its Articles of Association, can redeem its own debenture by purchasing them in the open market.
If a company purchase its own debentrue for the purpose of immediate cancellation, the purchase and cancellation of such debenture are called, redemption by purchase in the open market.
Advantages:
1. A company can redeem the debentures at its convenience ‘ whenever it has surplus funds.
2. A company can save money by purchasing own debenture, when they are available in market at discount.
Question 10.
What is meant by conversion of debentures? Describe the method of such a conversion.
Answer:
Sometimes, at the time of issue of debentures, a company gives the convertible debenture holders a privilege that they can get their debentures converted into shares or new debentures after the expiry of a specified period. Whenever debenture are redeemed by conversion, the debenture holders have to apply for the same. The new shares or debentures may be issued at par, discount or at premium.
No DRR is required in case of convertible debentures, because no funds are required for redemption. If debentures to be converted were issued at discount, the issue price of share must be equal to the amount actually received from debentures. If this rule is not followed, it would be violation of section 79 of Companies Act, 1956.
If Redemption at premium Debentures A/c — Dr.
Securities Premium A/c — Dr.
To Debentureholder A/c
(b) For discharging obligation by issuing shares or debentures Debentureholder A/c — Dr.
To Equity Share capital Or To Debentures A/c (new)
If the new share/debentures are issued at a premium, the Securities Premium A/c is credited or new shares/debentures are issued at a discount, the Discount on Issue of Shares/Debentures A/c is debited in the above mentioned entry (b).

The directors decided to write off discount based on the debentures outstanding each year. Calculate the amount of discount to be written off each year. Give journal entires also.
Answer:
Value of Debenture issued = Rs. 5,00,000
Discount on Issue of Debenture = 6%
= 500000 x \(\frac{6}{100}\)= Rs. 30,000
Total Discount to be written off = Rs. 30,000
Question 17.
A company issued 10% Debentures of the face value of Rs. 1,20,000 at a discount of 6% on January 01,2001. These debentures are payable by annual drawing of Rs, 40,000 commencing from the end of third year. How will you deal with discount on debentures? Show the discount on debentures account in the company ledger for the period of duration of debentures. Assume accounts are closed on December 31.
Ans.
As the debentures are to be redeemed by annual drawings, it is equitable to adopt the fluctuating installment method of writing off the discount. In this way, the burden of discount would be distributed in proportion to the benefits derived out of the debentures money.
Value of Debenture issued=Rs. 120,000
Discount on Issue of Debenture = 6%
= 120,000 x \(\frac{6}{100}\) = Rs. 7,200
Total Discount to be written off = Rs. 7,200.

Answer:
Value of Debenture issued = Rs. 4,00,000
Discount on Issue of Debenture = 6%
= \(\frac{6}{100}\) x 400,000
= Rs 24,000
Amount of discount to be written off in the year.
2000 = Rs. 6,000
2001 Rs. 6,800
2002 = Rs. 5,200
2003 = Rs. 3,600
2004 = Rs. 2,000
