FAQs on Important Questions & Answers: Redemption of Debentures - Accounting for CA Foundation

1. What is the meaning of the redemption of debentures?
Ans. The redemption of debentures refers to the process of repaying or redeeming the debentures issued by a company to its investors or debenture holders. It involves the repayment of the principal amount along with any accrued interest to the debenture holders.
2. What is the difference between redemption of debentures at par and at a premium?
Ans. Redemption of debentures at par means repaying the debentures at their face value, i.e., the same value at which they were issued. On the other hand, redemption of debentures at a premium means repaying the debentures at a value higher than their face value. This premium is usually paid to compensate the debenture holders for the interest lost due to early redemption.
3. Can a company redeem its debentures before their maturity date?
Ans. Yes, a company can redeem its debentures before their maturity date if it has a provision for early redemption in the debenture agreement. This provision may specify a certain period after which the company can exercise its right to redeem the debentures. However, the company may have to pay a premium to the debenture holders for early redemption.
4. What are the methods of redemption of debentures?
Ans. There are three methods of redemption of debentures: 1. Redemption in lump sum: Under this method, the company repays the entire amount of debentures, including principal and accrued interest, in one installment on the specified redemption date. 2. Redemption by installment: In this method, the company repays the debentures in installments over a period of time. The installments can be equal or unequal, and the company pays both principal and interest in each installment. 3. Redemption by conversion: This method allows the debenture holders to convert their debentures into shares of the company. The conversion ratio is predetermined and mentioned in the debenture agreement.
5. What are the accounting entries for the redemption of debentures?
Ans. The accounting entries for the redemption of debentures depend on the method of redemption. Here are the general entries: 1. For redemption in lump sum: Debenture Redemption Reserve A/c Dr. (with the amount to be transferred to the reserve) Debentureholders A/c Dr. (with the amount to be redeemed) To Bank A/c (with the total amount paid for redemption) 2. For redemption by installment: Debenture Redemption Reserve A/c Dr. (with the amount to be transferred to the reserve) Debentureholders A/c Dr. (with the amount to be redeemed) To Bank A/c (with the installment amount paid for redemption) 3. For redemption by conversion: Debentureholders A/c Dr. (with the amount to be redeemed) To Share Capital A/c (with the value of shares issued for conversion) To Securities Premium A/c (with the premium amount, if any) To Debenture Conversion Reserve A/c (with the amount transferred to the reserve)
