Correct Answer: Capital loss to be written off over the tenure of the debentures


Solution : According to ICAI standards, the discount on the issuance of debentures represents a capital loss that must be charged to the "Securities Premium Account" over the tenure of a debenture. The discount on the issuance of debentures may be written off by debiting either the securities premium account or the profit and loss account.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
