Redemption of shares and debentures

for redemption of debentures, we create debenture redemption fund and also invest it and reinvest it along with interest....but my question is....In case of shares if we are to redeem it at premium which have been already issued at par..then we don't create any fund and reinvest it....why????

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the distinction between redeeming shares and debentures. A debenture redemption fund is created because debenture holders are creditors, and repayment is a legal obligation. In contrast, shares represent ownership, and while preference shares can be redeemable, the process differs from debentures as they are not external loans. The core difference lies in shareholders being owners, whereas debenture holders are creditors.

Shareholder are the owner of the business unlike Debenture Holder who are creditor of the business. Payment to Debenture holder is a must so Redemption Account is created .
And what's about preference share which are redeemable????
Debentures and shares are different altogether ..
debenture are loan instrument.
IT GIVES THE THE OWNER A RIGHT TO THE INSTRUMENT.
COMPANY WILL REPAY THE AMOUNT AFTER FEW YEARS.

SHARES ARE OWNERS OF THE COMPANY
.
GIVES THE RIGHT to the ownership of the company.
Ok..got it....thank you all
