23 July 2025 Here's the treatment for **accrued interest on long-term debentures**:

---

### 1. **Accrued interest on long-term debentures payable within next 3 months (i.e., short-term liability):**

* This interest amount is **accrued but not yet paid**, and since the payment is due within the next 12 months (3 months here), it should be classified as a **current liability**.
* **Disclosure Head:**

* Under **"Other Current Liabilities"** or **"Interest accrued but not due"** (depending on company’s chart of accounts).
* This is because it is a liability that will require payment shortly.

---

### 2. **When the interest becomes payable (outstanding interest):**

* It remains under **Current Liabilities**, generally under **"Interest accrued and due"** or **"Interest outstanding"**.
* Once paid, it will be adjusted against cash/bank.

---

### Summary:

| Situation | Disclosure Head |
| ------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Accrued interest (payable within 12 months) | Other Current Liabilities (Interest accrued but not due) |
| Interest amount due and outstanding | Other Current Liabilities (Interest accrued and due) |

---

If interest is not payable within 12 months (say after 1 year), then it will be treated as a **non-current liability** under long-term provisions, but since your case is payable in 3 months, it is a current liability.
