Section 185/186 speaks about loans. Subsidiary company cannot hold shares in parent company but since debenture is a debt and not share so may be holding company may issue debentures to subsidiary.

Whether debentures termed as loans or not
Debentures are debts and not loan
So a holding company can issue debentures to its subsidiary company without violations of sec 185/186?
Yes still its a contradictory assumption.
Please be sure it will have a large impact.
Wait for someone elses reply
Ok thank you mam

A debenture is one of the most typical forms of long term loans that a company can take. It is normally a loan that should be repaid on a specific date, but somedebentures are irredeemable securities (sometimes referred to as perpetual debentures). The majority ofdebentures come with a fixed interest rate.

 

So You cannot issue debentures to its parents company.

Sec185/186 cannot reflect this case.
