Solution
- The maximum tenure of the debentures to be issued is of 10 years. Only certain companies permitted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Central Government, or RBI can issue debentures beyond a period of 10 years but not exceeding 30 years.
- No. The proposed issue is not within the borrowing powers of the board. The board can use its borrowing power up to the limit permitted by the Articles of Associations permits only up to ₹ 5 crores. In case, the Board wants to increase its borrowing power, it has to get approval from shareholders by passing a special resolution in a general meeting.
- A debenture certificate is a document issued by a company as evidence of debts to the holder. As per the Companies Act, 2013, the company has to issue a debenture certificate within 6 months of the allotment of debentures.
