The correct answer is Option (2) - Long Term Borrowings. Debentures issued will be shown in the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2020 under Long Term Borrowings. Debentures are a type of debt instrument issued by a company to raise funds. When a company issues debentures, it is essentially borrowing money from investors and agreeing to pay back the principal amount along with interest at a later date. Debentures are typically classified under "Long Term Borrowings" because they are usually repaid over a period longer than one year. This reflects the company's obligation to repay the debt in the future, and it is categorized under non-current liabilities. |
