• Debentures cannot be issued with voting rights. On issue of debenture, a Company shall create a Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR) out of the profits of the company available for payment of dividend and the amount credited to such account shall not be utilized by the company except for the redemption of debentures.

• As discussed above, a debenture is one of the capital market instruments which helps business houses to raise funds from the market for the development of the business. The word debenture has been derived from the Latin word “debere” which means borrowing or taking a loan. In layman’s language, debenture can be defined as an acknowledgement of debt issued by the company to the third parties under the common seal of the company. In accordance with Section 2(30) of the Companies Act, 2013, debentures include debenture stock issued by the company as an evidence of debt taken by such company, either by creation or non-creation of the charge over the assets of the company.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
