Hey Padmavathi the answer that u have given to wrong.

Debenture and bonds are similar except for one difference-
bonds are more secure than debentures.A debenture is an
unsecured loan you offer to a company. The company does
not give any collateral for the debenture but pays a higher
rate of interest to its creditors and bondholders are paid
low interest. In case of bankruptcy or financial
difficulties, the debenture holders are paid later than
bondholders.

Answer / anil kumar

Both are liabilities of the issuing company and have
priority claim over the shareholders.

While issuing bonds, the issuing company
specifies 'certain' assets as security against the issue.
In case of default by the issuing company, the bond holders
can first recover their dues from the proceeds of the
specified assets.

But when debentures a are issued, no specific assets are
marked as security, but the debenture holders will have
claim over all the assets of the compnay, except those on
which specific charges have been created.

companies.during the bankruptcy bond holder will get
preferance.though in debentures case interest rate is very
high and fixed amount is paid at regular intervals .
