(b) If company issues non-convertible debentures and non-convertible portion of partly convertible debentures, the creation of DRR is obligatory.
(c) A company shall create DRR equivalent to 50% of issued debentures’ face value before starting the redemption of debenture.

If working capital is not sufficient, company can sells fixed assets also.
It reduces assets of the company and effects working capital of the company
