₹50,000

₹22,500

₹25,000

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Interest on Debentures for half year = 5,00,000 x 10/100 x 6/12
                                                          = 25,000
Less : TDS 10% of 25000 i.e 2500
Amount paid to Debenture holders = 25000 -2500
                                                       = ₹22,500
