Debentures are long-term debt instruments issued by companies or institutions to raise funds. Debenture holders are creditors to the company or institution and are entitled to receive periodic interest payments at a specified rate. The principal amount is repaid to debenture holders at maturity. Unlike equity shares debentures do not represent ownership in the company. They are a form of borrowing by the issuing entity. Additionally, debentures are not short-term borrowing or government-issued bonds .
