Question:

A company cannot issue which of the following?

Options:

Redeemable Equity Shares

Redeemable Preference Shares

Redeemable Debentures

Fully Convertible Debentures

Correct Answer:

Redeemable Equity Shares

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- Redeemable Equity Shares.

While companies can issue redeemable preference shares, redeemable debentures, and fully convertible debentures, redeemable equity shares are generally not allowed. Equity shares represent ownership in a company, and their issuance implies a permanent ownership interest in the company. Unlike preference shares or debentures, equity shares are not typically redeemable because they reflect ongoing ownership rather than a contractual obligation that can be repaid after a certain period.
