Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for debentures held by SBI in its subsidiary banks during mergers. When SBI merges with a subsidiary, the debentures are effectively cancelled through an accounting entry, eliminating them as both an asset for SBI and a liability for the subsidiary. No actual cash settlement occurs, as the ownership simply transfers to the parent company.

I guess following entry will be passed :-
Debentures a/c Dr. (of the subsidiary)
To Debentures a/c ( SBI )
And pls tell HOW the amount get settled.
There won't be any settlement only above entry will be passed to eliminate asset and liabilities in their respective books,after merger the owners of SBI's subsidiary will get ownership in SBI so even if amount is settled it will be like taking money out from an owner's pocket and putting it back in owner's another pocket.
Ok thank you means only accounting entry passed for procedure not any other amount settled.
