ISSUE OF DEBENTURES BY A PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY:

STEPS INVOLVED IN ISSUE OF DEBENTURE

POSITION IN LAW:
(a) Under the Companies (Acceptance of Deposit) Rules, 1975 “any amount
raised by issue of debentures (including convertible debentures) secured by the
mortgage of any immovable property of the company and that the market value of the immovable property secured is higher than the amount of debentures issued” is not considered to be a DEPOSIT.
(b) Under Section 3(1)(d) of the Act, a Private Company is prohibited from
accepting Deposit from persons other than its Directors, Members and their
relatives.
(c) Hence, the Private Company must issue Debentures only as a Secured
Debenture.
