(a) 1,00,000, 10% fully convertible debentures of â‚¹ 100 each on 1st April, 2016 redeemable by conversion after 5 years.
(b) 20,000, 10% Debentures of â‚¹ 100 each redeemable after 4 years , 25% Debentures in Cash and 75% by conversion.
State the amount of DRR required to be created as per the Companies Act,2013.

Amount Required to be transferred to DRR=25% of Face value of Debentures(Non-convertible)                                                     =25% of Rs 5,00,000(20,00,000×25%)=₹ 1,25,000

Answer:

Section 71 (4) of the Companies Act, 2013 requires that an amount equal to at least 25% of the value of debentures is to be transferred to the Debenture Redemption Reserve Account. Accordingly, Rs 50,000 is required to be transferred to DRR (i.e. 25% of 2,00,000) before the actual date of redemption of debentures.

Question 4:

Pass Journal entries for issue and redemption of debentures. How much amount should be transferred to Debentures Redemption Reserve before redemption of debentures? Also, state how much amount should be invested in specified securities?

Answer:

Section 71 (4) of the Companies Act, 2013 requires that an amount equal to at least 25% of the value of debentures is to be transferred to the Debenture Redemption Reserve Account. So, Rs 2, 50,000 is required to be transferred to DRR (i.e. 25% of 10,00,000). Further, Rule 18 (7) requires every company that is required to create DRR to invest an amount at least equal to 15% of the value of debentures in specified securities. So, Rs 1,50,000 is to be invested in specified securities (i.e. 15% of 10,00,000).

Note:

1. As prescribed by Section 71(4) of the Companies Act, 2013, companies are required to create DRR at 25% of the total value of debentures. However, it purely depends upon a company and its discretion to transfer more amount to DRR than the prescribed amount of 25% in the case of companies for whom it is mandatory to create DRR out of profits. In this case, as explicitly specified about company's discretion, DRR has been created for a total of Rs 20,00,000 which is 50% of the total value of redeemable debentures.

2. As per circular no. 04/2015 issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (dated 11.02.2013), every company required to create/maintain DRR shall on or before the 30th day of April of each year, deposit or invest, as the case may be, a sum which shall not be less than fifteen percent of the amount of its debentures maturing during the year ending on the 31st day of March next following year. Accordingly, entries for DRR and Investment have been passed in the previous accounting year.

3. As explicilty stated in the question, entries for interest on debentures has not been passed.

(Debentures Redemption Reserve transferred to General Reserve)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working Notes:

Amount required to be transferred to DRR = 25% of Face Value of Debentures

                                                                     = 25% of Rs 20,00,000 = Rs 5,00,000

Existing Balance in DRR = Rs 2,00,000

Therefore, Amount transferred to DRR = Rs 5,00,000 – 2,00,000 = Rs 3,00,000

Amount required to be transferred to DRI = 15% of Face Value of Debentures

                                                                    = 15% of Rs 20,00,000 = Rs 3,00,000
