Question:
Can debentures be issued at discount? If yes, what is the maximum limit of discount on the issue of debentures?
Options:
Cannot be issued at a discount
Yes, 5%
Yes, 10%
Yes, No limit
Correct Answer:
Yes, No limit
Explanation:
Like shares, debentures may be issued at par, at a premium or at a discount. But the law does not lay down any maximum limit for discount on issue of debentures. The sanction of the Company Law Board is also not needed.
