(2) A company which issues prospectus or invites more than 500 persons to buy its debentures has to appoint one or more Debentures Trustee. Companies issuing secured debentures also must appoint Debentures Trustee.
(3) Debentures Trustee is appointed before prospectus or letter of offer/offer letter is issued or within 60 days after the allotment of the debenture. The Trustees must give written consent to act as Debenture Trustees.
