Quick Summary
This discussion explores the correct accounting treatment for debentures issued by a subsidiary to external parties. It questions whether these should be classified under 'minority interest' or 'non-current liabilities' on consolidated financial statements. The example provided illustrates how to handle situations where the parent company also holds some of the debentures, and clarifies the presentation of consolidated equity.

Eg. Subsidiary issued 15,000₹ debentures and parents hold 10,000₹ of it and the rest is held by outsiders. Then:

Parent 10000

Subsidiary 15,000

Consolidated adjustment= 15000-10000= 5000₹ is taken to SOFP Under group debentures and loans in liabilities. If the parent does not hold anything, then the total of 15,000₹ will be shown under group debenture liabilities. Similarly, when it comes to consolidated equity, only parents will be shown in the consolidated SOCIE. 

Can you please tell what is SOFP... ?

And also what is SOCIE

Statement of financial position

statement of changes in equity

So all Equity elements are shown in balance sheet.
