Working Notes:
Calculation of Amount transferred to DRR

As prescribed by Section 714 of the Companies Act, 2013, companies are required to create DRR at 25% of the total value of debentures. Here, debentures worth Rs 21,00,000 are to be redeemed, so, the amount of DRR will be:

Amount of DRR 25 % of Debentures =	15, 00, 000 ×	25
		100
	= 3,75,000
Less: Amount already exists in DRR	=2,00,000
DRR created for redemption	=1,75,000

 

Investment made in specified =	15, 00, 000 ×	15
		100
	= 2,25,000

*As per circular no. 04/2015 issued by Ministry of Corporate Affairs dated11.02.2013, every company required to create/maintain DRR shall on or before the 30th day of April of each year, deposit or invest, as the case may be, a sum which shall not be less than fifteen percent of the amount of its debentures maturing during the year ending on the 31st day of March next following year. Accordingly, entries for DRR and Investment have been passed a year before redemption year.
