उत्तर
When a debenture holder can convert his/her debentures into shares or new debentures after the expiry of a specified period of time, then it is known as the redemption of debentures by conversion. As the company does not need to pay any funds for the redemption, so there is no need to maintain Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR). The new shares or debentures may be issued at par, premium or at discount.
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.
