I understand your instructions. Here are the bullet points summarizing the given text, excluding equations and examples:
======
The term “debenture” is derived from the Latin word “debere,” which means “to borrow.” It is a written instrument under the common seal of a company that acknowledges a debt.
A debenture contains a contract for repayment of the principal after a specified period or at intervals, and for payment of interest at a fixed rate. The interest is usually payable half-yearly or yearly on fixed dates.
According to The Companies Act, 2013, ‘Debenture’ includes Debenture Inventory, Bonds, and any other securities of a company, whether constituting a charge on the assets of the company or not.
The term “bond” is also an instrument of acknowledgement of debt. Traditionally, the Government issued bonds, but these days, bonds are also being issued by semi-government and non-governmental organisations.
The terms “debentures” and “Bonds” are now being used interchangeably.
