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.

Answer / amit pandey
bonds are secured loans offered by a company where the
bond holder will be paid the principal amount+interest
after a fixed time before maturity you will not get
anything.so it is like taking insurance policy.they are
much secured.bonds are usualy offered by government
companies.
debentures are not very secured loans offered by
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 .

end of the period in aggreement.While bond is also long
term debt which is usually issued by govt/public/semi-
publicgovt.Its interest paid semi annually/yearly and
principal paid at end of period.So bond is more secured
because govt never buncrapt and shut down the existance.

Answer / fairy
Bonds are more secured as compare to the debuntures.
because debuntures are issued by ther companies. debunture
holders don't have claims against the company. they can't
sell the assets of the company.. while if the co. is
bankrupt the bond hoders have claims against the company.
they can sell the assets of the company to settel their
claims.
