When debentures are issued at a price below their face value, it is known as ‘issue of debentures at discount’. ‘Redemption of debentures at premium’ implies that such debentures will be paid off a redemption price that is more than its face value. For example, a debenture with face value of Rs 10, issued at Rs 9 (issued at discount of Re 1) and redeemable at Rs 12 (redeemed at a premium of Rs 2).
