The loss on account of issue of debentures at premium is considered as an expenses for the borrowing and hence allowable u/s 37 of the Act. kindly refer the judgement of Kerala high court in case of CIT v/s Apollo tyres Ltd.
Further, section 193 of the Act deals with the TDS on interest on securities and it is applicable on debentures too. The rate of TDS is 10%.
Sir but how will the deduction be allowed :
a) whole amout in same year or
b) over the lifeof debenture
in case of both discount on issue and premium on redemption
It will be allowed over the life of debentures.
