Question : In case debentures of Rs 2,00,000 redeemable at a premium were purchased from the open market at below the nominal value. Gain on cancellation is transferred to
Option 1: General reserve
Option 2: Capital reserve
Option 3: Capital redemption reserve
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: Capital reserve
Solution : Answer = Capital reserve
When debentures are purchased at a discount, the gain on cancellation is typically transferred to the Capital Reserve. Capital reserves are used to record gains or profits that are not generated from the company's ordinary business activities, such as gains from the purchase of debentures at a discount.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
