Working Notes:
| Amount required to be transferred to DRR | =25% of Face Value of Debentures |
| = 25% of Rs 20,00,000 = Rs 5,00,000 | |
| Existing Balance in DRR = Rs 2,00,000 | |
| Therefore, Amount transferred to DRR = Rs 5,00,000 – 2,00,000 = Rs 3,00,000 | |
| Amount required to be transferred to DRI | = 15% of Face Value of Debentures |
| = 15% of Rs 20,00,000 = Rs 3,00,000 | |
