Issue and Redemption of Debentures

Question:
Which of the following statements is true?
Options:
A debenture holder can receive back money only on liquidation
A debenture holder receives interest only in case there are profits
Both 1 and 2
None of 1 and 2
Correct Answer:
None of 1 and 2
Explanation:
A debenture holder receives his money back after the period of expiry for which the debentures were issued. An interest on debenture is a charge on profit and hence the debenture holder will receive interest even if there is no profits. Hence, both 1 and 2 are wrong.
