Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Debentures can be classified on different bases. When classified based on tenure (time period), we consider whether the debentures have a fixed maturity period or not.

Analyzing each option:

Redeemable Debentures (A): These have a fixed maturity period and are redeemed after a specified time. This classification is based on tenure. ✓

Non-Convertible Debentures (B): These cannot be converted into equity shares. This classification is based on convertibility, not tenure. ✗

Perpetual Debentures (C): These have no fixed maturity date and are not redeemed during the company's lifetime. This classification is based on tenure. ✓

Registered Debentures (D): These are registered in the company's register and transfer requires proper documentation. This classification is based on registration/transferability, not tenure. ✗

From the point of view of tenure, debentures are classified into only two types:

  • Redeemable Debentures (have maturity date)
  • Irredeemable/Perpetual Debentures (no maturity date)

Correct Answer: Option 1 - (A) and (C) only
