Sindoor Ltd. issued Rs. 75,00,000, 9% debentures of Rs. 100 each as collateral security to State Bank of India against loan of Rs. 80,00,000. What amount will be shown in the long term borrowings in Balance Sheet in this case?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Debentures issued as collateral security are only a secondary or standby security and create no separate liability. Under the first method no entry is passed and only the loan appears. Under the second method the debentures are shown with Debenture Suspense deducted, so the net amount is nil.

Either way, Long Term Borrowings shows the bank loan of 80,00,00080{,}00{,}000.
