30 October 2007 Dear Sushant,

These cases are related to Redemption Of Preference Shares.
8% is the rate of dividend which remains fixed in case of Preference Shares which have preference in claimin dividend over equity shares.
Cash required is the amount payable on the redemption (repayment) of preference shares. The redemption can be done either from profits or new issue of equity or preference shares and not debentures. Good Luck
