Redemption of
Debentures:
It refers to repayment of amount
of Debentures to Debentureholders for discharge of its Liability towards
Debentures.
Points to be considered
at the time of Redemption:
Debentures are normally redeemed
on maturity date, However, it can be redeemed before maturity by Draw of
lots, Purchase from Open Market for Cancellation or by Conversion into Shares
or New Debentures; If Article of Association of Company authorises it and if
the terms and conditions of Debentures permit it.
Debentures can be redeemed either
at Par or Premium as per the terms of issue. In case of Purchase from Open
Market for Cancellation, money paid for Purchase of Debentures is the amount
of Redemption.
Sources of Redemption:
1. Out of Capital:
No transfer of adequate Fund to
Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR). However, Rule 18 (7) of Companies (Share
Capital & Debentures) Rules of Indian Companies Act 2013; Every Company
other than Companies exempted from creating DRR, to transfer
at least 25 % of Nominal Value of total Redeemable Debentures of a
particular Class to DRR out of Surplus available for Payment as Dividend to
Shareholders.
2. Out of Profit:
Redemption solely out of Profits.
100 % Nominal value of total Redeemable
Debentures are transferred to DRR out of Surplus available for Payment as
Dividend to Shareholders.
3. Out of Profit & Capital
Both:
Redemption of Debentures
Partially out of Profit & Partially out of Capital. In this case, Company
is not required to transfer 100 % of Face value of Debentures to DRR. At lesat 25 % is required to be transferred to DRR.
Notes:
Following points
are noteworthy with respect to creation of DRR:
If Question is silent àCreate
DRR of 25 % of Face Value of Debentures
If Redemption is out of Profit à
Transfer 100 % of Face Value of Debentures to DRR.
If amount of DRR is given in the
questionà If less than 25 %, value of
Debentures is given in the Question, Transfer Balance amount in order to make
it 25 %. If more than 25 % is given in the question, transfer that value to
DRR.
Debenture Redemption
Reserve (DRR)
Amount set aside out of amount
available for Payment as Dividend to Shareholders of the Company.
DRR is created on Non Convertible
Debentures or Non Convertible part of Debentures in case of Partially
Converted Debentures.
Adequate Amount is required to be
credited to DRR before Redemption begins.
Exemptions to Create
DRR as Per Indian Companies Act, 2013:

Debenture Redemption
Investment (DRI)
Along with DRR, Companies are
required to invest 15 % in Specified Securities on or before 30 April of
Current year, of Total Face value of Debentures to be redeemed by the next

For Example

Methods of Redemption
of Debentures
1. On Maturity in Lump Sum
2. On Installments by Draw of
Lots
3. By Purchase From Open Market
4. By Conversion
|
1. Redemption Of
Debentures in Lump Sum
All Debentures are redeemed on
maturity date either at Par or Premium as per Terms of Issue.

not carry Interest entries either On Debenture or DRI. In such cases, exclude
those entries while doing questions.
TDS Payable is
always calculated on TDS Percentage of Interest amount to be paid on
Debentures.
TDS Receivable is
always calculated on TDS Percentage of Interest amount to be received on DRI.
For Example – 10 %
TDS to be payable or Receivable on Interest and Interest amount comes Rs.
100000. In this case TDS will beà 10 % of 100000=
Rs.10000.

Issue of Debentures.

2. Redemption of
Debentures in Installments By Draw of lots
Part of debentures is being
redeemed every year being selected by Draw at Par or premium according to the
terms of Issue.
All entries remain same as we did
for Lump Sum Method.
DRR is created before commencing
Redemption of Debentures and DRI is also made in the way we did for Lump Sum
Method.
Points to be considered while
Doing Questions of Redemption of Debentures in Installments:
Until & Unless Question
specifies, If Redemption of Debenture is done on yearly or Half Yearly Equal
Installment basis, we do not need to write entry of creating DRR and DRI made
every year. We can write Journal entry for DRR & DRI once for all
subsequent years of redemption. In the Last year of Redemption, we can encash
DRI and transfer DRR to General Reserve.
Sometimes Question specifies that
we have to encash DRI each time Debentures will be redeemed. In this case, we
have to write Journal entry for DRI made every year and Encashment of DRI as
and when Debentures are redeemed.

3. Redemption of
Debentures by Purchase from Open Market
It refers to purchasing own
Debentures from open Market for immediate cancellation or for retaining as
Investment and cancel them at a later date.
Before initiating the Purchase of
debentures for Cancellation, the company must have DRR balance equal to 25 %
of Face value of Outstanding Debentures being cancelled and also have made
DRI equal to 15 % of Face value of Outstanding Debentures being cancelled.
Unless otherwise specified in the
Question, it is assumed that the Company has adequate balance in DRR and DRI
before initiating Purchase for Cancellation of Debentures.

Note:
There can be cases
where Debentures have been converted into New Shares before Maturity Period:
Debentures can be converted into
New Shares before Maturity Period under two situations:
I. when Debentures are
issued at Par or Premium and redeemable at Par
In this case, Debentureholders
will get New Shares for the amount paid by them at the time of Issue of Debentures.
Premium on Redemption will not be paid to Debentureholders. We can even say
that Redemption Value should be ignored in this case.
For Example:
1. Company Issued
1000 Debentures @ Rs. 10 each at Par redeemable at Par or Premium; amount
payable to Debentureholders will be actual amount paid by them at the time of
Issue à 1000 × Rs. 10 = Rs.
10000. New Shares will be issued to Debentureholders of a value of Rs.10000.
If new share face
Value is Rs. 100 and issued at Par;
Number of New
Shares to be issued = Rs. 10000 ÷100 = 100 New Shares
If new share face
Value is Rs. 100 and issued at Premium of 25 %;
Number of New
Shares to be issued = Rs. 10000 ÷125 = 80 New Shares
2. Company Issued
1000 Debentures @ Rs. 10 each at 25 % Premium redeemable at Par or Premium;
amount payable to Debentureholders will be actual amount paid by them at the
time of Issue à 1000 × Rs. 12.5 = Rs.
12500.
New Shares will be
issued to Debentureholders of a value of Rs.12500.
If new share face
Value is Rs. 100 and issued at Par;
Number of New
Shares to be issued = Rs. 12500 ÷100 = 125 New Shares
If new share face
Value is Rs. 100 and issued at Premium of 25 %;
Number of New
Shares to be issued = Rs. 12500 ÷125 = 100 New Shares
2. When Debentures are
issued at Discount and Redeemable at Par or Premium:
In this case, Debentureholders
will get New Shares for the amount paid by them at the time of Issue of Debentures.
For Example, Company
Issued 1000 Debentures @ Rs. 10 each at 10 % Discount redeemable at Par or
Premium; amount payable to Debentureholders will be actual amount paid by them
at the time of Issueà 1000 × Rs. 9 = Rs. 9000.
New Shares will be
issued to Debentureholders of a value of Rs.9000.
If new share face
Value is Rs. 100 and issued at Par;
Number of New
Shares to be issued = Rs. 9000 ÷100 = 90 New Shares
If new share face
Value is Rs. 100 and issued at Premium of 25 %;
Number of New
Shares to be issued = Rs. 9000 ÷125 = 72 New Shares.
Accounting Treatment

Journal Entries
related to Discount or Loss on Issue of Debentures:
When Discount or Loss on Issue of
Debentures written off from P&L A/C is written back
Debenture A/C…..Dr
Premium on Redemption of
Debentures A/C
To P&L A/C (Other Income) (with
amount written back)
To Debentureholders A/C
OR
When Discount or Loss on Issue of
Debentures written off from Security Premium
Reserve is written back
Debenture A/C…..Dr
Premium on Redemption of
Debentures A/C
To P&L A/C (Other Income) (with
amount written back)
To Discount or Loss on Issue of
Debentures A/C (With Amount not written off)
To Debentureholders A/C
For Example
Company issues 1000
Debentures of Rs. 100 at 10 % Discount and to be redeemable after 5 years at
20 % Premium. Loss on issue is to written off in 5 equal installments over 5
years maturity period.
In this case, Total
Loss to Company on Issue = Rs.10 × 1000 (Discount on Issue) + Rs. 20 ×1000 (Premium
on Redemption) = Rs. 3000.
Suppose Debentures
are converted at the end of 3rd year, then in this case
Amount written off
will be = (3÷5) × Rs. 3000 = Rs.1800(This amount will be written back in
P&L A/C as other Income)
Journal Entry for
the same for writing off Debentures is:
P&L A/C ………….Dr
To Discount on
Issue of Debentures A/C
Amount not written
off will be = (2÷5) × Rs. 3000 = Rs.1200 (This amount will be credited as
Discount or Loss on Issue of Debentures in above Journal entry)
