Whan compay purchase debenture from the open market
recently which industry/company had issued its debentures
Most companies retire debentures by issuing another set of debentures, hence, most companies don't park funds for retiring debentures by creating any fund. The bond market will surely get affected negatively by such a move of the ministry of corporate affairs. Section 117C of the Companies Act, 1956, requires every company issuing debentures to create a debenture redemption reserve (DRR) for the redemption of such debentures and transfer an 'adequate' amount from its profits every year to such DRR until the issued debentures are redeemed. Hence, every issue of redeemable debentures requires creation of a DRR. The said Section, however, does not provide the meaning of the word 'adequate'. In the year 2002, the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) issued a circular clarifying the meaning of 'adequate' and provided the percentage which is mandatorily required to be transferred to DRR by certain class of companies. However, to develop the bonds market, MCA issued another clarification circular on 11 February 2013 (Circular 2013)

Debentures are credit instruments. Companies have to pay fixed interest to the debentures holders even though the company is running on loss. An the time of liquidation also the company have to repay the amount to debenture holders before paying it to share holders.
When debentures are redeemed out of capital, no transfer is made to general reserve or debenture redemption reserve account. In this method it is assumed that the company has sufficient funds to redeem the debentures. So the profits are not utilised to replace the debentures.It affects adversely to the Working Capital of the company.
A company can buy its own debenture in the open market, if it is authorised by its AOA. the debentures so purchased can be used either for immediate cancellation or redemption of debenture or for investment. the debenture so purchase for investment can be subsequently either be issued to fullfill additional requirements of cash or can be cancelled if the company so desires. debentures when purchases for investment are popularly known as 'OWN DEBENTURES.'
Indian Companies Act of 1956 added during an amendment in the year 2000. It states Indian company that issues debentures must offer debenture redemption service to protect investors against the possibility of company default. If a company does not create a reserve within 12 months of issuing the debentures, they will be required to pay 2 percent interest in penalty to the debenture holders. Only debentures that were issued after the amendment in 2000 are subject to the debenture redemption service.
When debentures are redeemed payment is made from a reserve which is created at the time of purchase of such debentures,therefore at the time of payment first it is transferred to general reserve then as it is expenditure to company.
