Solution
| Original amount in securities premium | 71,000 |
| Less: Balance left | 35,000 |
| Discount written off from securities premium | 36,000 |
Number of debentures issues = 9,000
Discount per share = `("36,000")/("9,000")` = ₹ 4
Rate of discount = `("Discount")/("Face Value")xx100`
= `4/100xx100`
= 4%
