Redemption of debentures refers to extinguishing or discharging the liability on account of debentures in accordance with the terms of issue. In other words redemption of debentures means repayment of the amount of debentures by the company. There are four ways by which the debentures can be redeemed-
   1. Payment in lump sum
   2. Payment in instalments
   3. Purchase in the open market
   4. By conversion into shares or new debentures.

*Selling fixed Assets in open market is a financial transaction not any method of redemption.
