Quick Summary
This discussion explores the accounting treatment for compulsory convertible preference shares and debentures. It questions whether instruments with very low dividend or interest rates should be classified as compound financial instruments or equity. The consensus is that convertible preference shares are initially recognised as debt, even with minimal dividend rates, and are only classified as equity upon conversion.

Convertible preference shares will be initially recognised as debt and eventually when they are converted into equity, only then they are classified as equity

Even for pref shares which have very less dividend rate i.e 0.001%???

yes , it does not matter what is the rate of dividend, it matters that it is preference share , not common or equity share
