Solution
When the debentures are issued at a price below its par value or face value, then it is said that the debentures are issued at discount. The difference between the issue price and the face value of the debenture is regarded as a capital loss.

1. With the amount that is to be written off within 12 months from the date of Balance Sheet - Shown under Other Current Assets
