Solution
When debentures are issued at a discount and redeemable at a premium, it means the company issues them at a price lower than their face value and promises to repay more than the face value at redemption. For example, if a debenture of ₹100 is issued at ₹95 and redeemed at ₹110, the discount of ₹5 and the premium of ₹10 represent capital loss and liability respectively for the company.
